"The reason we don’t see exploding battery attacks more often is not because it’s technically hard, it’s because the erosion of public trust in everyday things isn’t worth it."

Most production systems have lots of code to handle important edge cases or improve performance, and this means that the code can be quite complicated. Building minimal versions of libraries or containers can be really educational, and these walkthrough tutorials like this one can be really enlightening, even though we should never run this kind of code in production.
If you're using OpenTelemetry, I highly recommend this post:

Hands down the best picture of the YEAR. Couldn’t have done it without you! Grateful for all the support and guidance throughout my grad years.
Advice for graduate students: find you a professor like @ricci
Now back to Thesis work :)
This report about AI targeting is one of the worst things I’ve ever read
I need some volunteers outside the US and EU! All you need to do is run a script that will download some popular websites and run some traceroutes.
We're doing a study about where web trackers are hosted, and we want to get data from around the world.
The US and EU are well-studied in this respect, so we don't need more volunteers from there - but if you have access to a machine at a residence, campus, etc. elsewhere in the world, and are interested, you can either email me ([email protected]) or DM me or @sachindhke here. All you need to be able to do is run a Python script on it.
Thanks!
After all these years, I've only just realised that the illustration for @beep's seminal Responsive Design article is itself responsive. 🤦
