- #Python is written in C
- #Perl is written in C
- #Ruby is written in C
- #PHP is written in C
- #JavaScript engines started in C, now mostly in C++
- #Go was first in C, now written in Go itself
- #C++ compilers are written in C++
- #Swift is built with C++ and Swift (on LLVM in C++)
- #C# runs on .NET, built in C++/C#
- #JVM (HotSpot) is written in C++

Yet, people still doubt the necessity of learning C!

There's a vibe coding thread where developers are having an epiphany: maybe they should keep old versions of their code around, just in case their latest inspired hack turns everything into digital spaghetti.

Congratulations—they've just discovered their first professional software delivery practice: Version control. That's from 1972.

Next week, they'll revolutionize development by inventing "testing" after their app crashes in production. Again.

Aight my scraggly bright carrots, I must away, parting shot, rye and exhortation:

Above all other things, they want most for you to believe that you are a) alone, and b) powerless.

But you're not alone, and if you were so very powerless they wouldn't be trying so hard to convince you that you were.

Take my hand.

You are not alone, and your power -- YOUR PERSONAL POWER -- terrifies them.

Tomorrow's Wednesday.

Stay safe.
Stay strong.
Stay angry.
Stay kind.

You fucking *matter*.

Can someone explain why Medicaid activists in wheelchairs are being zip-tied and arrested at the Capitol?

They’re peacefully pleading to keep their benefits — and this is the response?

Is this who we are as a country?

The embargo is over, so here it is: https://coderush.me/hydroph0bia-part1/

I can't stress the "NEVER USE NVRAM AS TRUSTED STORAGE" part harder, but now we all have a very nice example of a thing to not ever do, or have your SecureBoot and FW updater signing being vulnerable to all people who can set non-volatile RT variables by calling a dedicated OS API.

Feels like we're now firmly in the "desperation" phase for companies who have sunk a ton of cash into AI which nobody asked for. They're frantically trying to justify that spend in via evidence of "user engagement" in any way they can.

I'm sure we're all seeing increasing pushiness and use of dark patterns to force use of AI e.g. WhatsApp searchbar now being "Ask Meta AI or Search"
