Today is #NationalPuppyDay 🐶 If you’ve ever wondered why wet dogs smell so funky, learn about the biochemistry behind it in this graphic! https://www.compoundchem.com/2015/07/28/wet-dog/
Oh and fun fact, 2 people have sent me this terrifyingly stupid graphic from SpaceX this morning, showing that we actually significantly *underestimated* the reflecting area of these absolutely fucking enormous satellites they're planning. This is so stupid.

SSH certificates and git signing

When you’re looking at source code it can be helpful to have some evidence indicating who wrote it. Author tags give a surface level indication, but it turns out you can just lie and if someone isn’t paying attention when merging stuff there’s certainly a risk that a commit could be merged with an author field that doesn’t represent reality. Account compromise can make this even worse - a PR being opened by a compromised user is going to be hard to distinguish from the authentic user.

Looks like I got laid off today.

If anyone’s looking for a C++ developer with 5 years of experience, feel free to reach out. I also work with Python, Go, and C.

I’m open to freelance work too - programming and pixel art 🎨

Feel free to DM me 🙂💻

Ugh. These politicians continue to be unapologetically slimy. Buying Chevron right before US invaded Venezuela.
@jennylam and you had the entire place to yourself. Nice!
@never_released should be fine for non developers. I am very curious to see if the iPhone A18 Pro CPU can handle the load.
i had never met a person whose entire name could be part of the NATO phonetic alphabet, but today I interacted with a person named Oscar Bravo, so that box is checked
@tomasekeli True. We could use more levels too. Debug is usually too much, so there should be a Verbose level. Info/Default should be minimal, but you want enough for support. And ideally you can set the level for a subset of components at runtime. Simple, but never simple.
