Fox 35: VIDEO: Truck runs over 250K Lamborghini in parking
lot
By way of ReindeR Rustema
@rrustema020@mastodon.nl
@notjustbikes about SUVs that are too dangerous.
In Orlando a lady in a huge monster truck drove her machine on top of a
Lamborghini sports car in the parking lot of Crunch Fitness. Because she
couldn't see the car.
Not fake, confirmed by journalists.

Writing in C

Wolf SSL: Why C Remains the Gold Standard for Cryptographic Software. Lots
of good stuff in here, including:
Side-channel resistance is difficult in any language.
What is true: as abstractions obscure execution behavior, side-channel
properties become harder to reason about and harder to verify at scale. Rust
provides tools to mitigate thisbut using them extensively means abandoning
most safety abstractions, bringing the problem space back toward C.
The issue is not impossibilityits verifiability without abstraction collapse.

Mario Munoz has put the text of his Sunday morning talk at North Bay Python online. I'm
waiting for the recording to experience it again, but it was exactly the Sunday morning
angry sermon I needed: https://pythonbynight.com/talks/empathy

AI has already taken my software job, not in the sense that I don't have one,
but in the sense that I now hate the job and most of the other people.

If you believe that the best part of a conference is the hallway track, this year's North Bay Python feels like that. The conversations and presentations feel like the sort of thought provoking topics I want from a conference.

Joelle Maslak's talk "What Feminist Theory & Praxis Says About Internet Networking" has me thinking about "the cost of crossing boundaries" not just between process isolation or network locations, but also social boundaries.

This talk by @kattni@kattstodon.com is reminding me how much my model of how human behavior changes has evolved over the course of my life. I don't know if that's a general change in society or in the community I surround myself with, but I hope it's the former.
I appreciate the insights.

Mario Munoz @pythonbynight@hachyderm.io "An Economy of Empathy" talk is definitely one I'm going to go back through and listen to with Charlene, and is the righteous sermon I needed this morning.

Continuing my exploration of finding a lightweight cross-platform widget set for Rust, and it's reinforcing my feeling that software development has become completely unserious.

"Debrief" implies that there is also "deboxer".
And what other types of furniture samples are there besides stool?
