So apparently the source code of one highly valued, LLM-based code-production product has been inspected by external actors, and found to be extensive, but not exactly an impressive feat of engineering.
Reportedly it consists in some part of natural language directions that attempt to coax, beg, and beseech the text generator to produce desired kinds of output.
Has anyone coined the term "autocompleading" for this style of software development yet?
Hi, I'm (resuming) hunting for a new #job (and life).
Locations: CANZUK/Sweden/Finland (I'll need a work visa/permit authorization/sponsorship for everywhere except Canada.)
My existing job title is Senior Firmware Engineer but I've been doing testing+release for a couple of years as well. Lots of non-async #Python; just starting to take a peek at #vibecoding at $DAY_JOB due to "encouragement" by $MANAGEMENT.
Boosts are appreciated!
Tired of wasting gigabytes of Time Machine storage to node_modules folders?
Time Machine supports setting a sticky extended attribute on folders to exclude them from backups.
It works great, and I believe NPM should support it.
I opened an NPM RFC and would love your comments on it: https://github.com/npm/rfcs/pull/857/changes
In the mean time, you can easily set the bit w/ a command like:
xattr -w com.apple.metadata:com_apple_backup_excludeItem com.apple.backupd /path/to/node_modules/
Let’s do this!
I'm incredibly happy to announce that something me and my (former) team at the TH Köln and Fachstelle für Jugendmedienkultur NRW worked on for the past two years is finally available:
An archive of Open Educational Resources focusing on gaming and accessibility!
https://www.twillo.de/edu-sharing/components/collections?id=a3ed75b1-a23c-4e42-ad75-b1a23c1e4264
https://www.youtube.com/@InclusiveGameLab
As a game developer, you can use these to educate yourself about accessibility and how to improve your projects; if you're a media educator, you'll learn more about using games to foster inclusion. And if you are a student, you may recommend them to your teachers, as we've also added some lesson plans and tasks. Every session focuses on one subtopic and consists of a script, a presentation, and a recorded talk.

Every cut that takes away our social spaces helps the far right.
One of the biggest acts of rebellion we can carry out is to do anything that helps connect folk within our local communities
NodeJS, for all the brilliant projects out there leaning on it, has a supply chain that might as well run the length of a dark alley permanently at 2am in the club district.

Anyway, hope none of you good people are affected by this latest pox
Axios 1.14.1 and 0.30.4 injected malicious [email protected] after npm compromise on March 31, 2026, deploying cross-platform RAT malware.
47 years ago, #Iran had a referendum to decide if people wanted royalty or Islamic republic.
Khomeini denied the calls to change the title of the referendum to "republic" or royalty and forced the votes to be between royalty and Islamic republic instead.
Our whole family voted no, I couldn't vote because I was too young. But when the votes were counted, our district has less than 50 "no" votes, even though I could personaly name twice as many who voted no.
Only 1% of the votes were NO, and the liberals, conservatives, MKO and Soviet friendly tudeh party, all voted yes, and for months they were making joke of the 1%:ers who didn't like the blank check given to Khomeini to legitimize his hijacking of the revolution.
Shortly after that, the newly created IRGC attacked Turkmen minority, followed by brutal crackdown in Kurdistan, all backed by the liberals and communists.
Every months after that, things got worse, talibanism became the norm and opposition groups crushed, including the liberals.
It's a sad day for me.
Remembering the short lived joy of freedom and unity in the country while watching today's Armageddon like images and videos from Tehran and Isfahan.

But goddamn. Hurting kids is just so fucking NORMAL in our world, & it has to stop.
We don't need age verification online (a surveillance ploy). We need to stop normalizing the abuse & exploitation of children in every area of life & culture.
Keeping a kid off the Internet doesn't fucking protect them from the predatory adults around them. In fact, it may make them more vulnerable than ever.
