I was born on the Moon but kidnapped by astronauts and raised in the suburbs of Grumman. Eventually, I drifted along the Gulf Stream to Northern Europe.

the two genders of open source projects are "willing to break downstream code" and "unwilling to break downstream code"

i'm not sure there's much space in between. (one of those has a version 659.0.0, the other has version 0.0.659)

A programming fact that still amazes me is that the HTTP header which containers the referring url is called "referer", because the developer spelt "referrer" wrong and the spell checker didn't catch it, so it made it into the official standards and they just never changed it lmao

If you're in or near Greenwich this Friday (July 11th), this (in the Ocean Court at the National Maritime Musuem) will be ace:

"Live music at the National Maritime Museum celebrating our ocean planet, its mythology, natural wonders and as-yet-undiscovered depths"

Do go!

"Arbitrary File Read via file:// Protocol in cURL"

It's one of those days, I guess. My laptop at home crashed. Tried the Terminal on my phone and got this.
I've said it before, but I have to say it again: my days of not taking the FSF seriously are certainly coming to a middle

You know, I could write a whole blog post about this—and I might—but I think we need to start addressing the very likely possibility that the *entire thesis* that “UI should get out of the way” and “apps should focus on content” is wrong.

Apps aren’t just for looking at photos or videos. They’re for navigating through these things, organizing them, editing them. The tools to do those things should not get out of the way. They should be clearly defined and separate from the content.

Pretty sure all these #AI guys have utterly misconstrued what art is. They think it's just information/data, but it's not: it's a process; it's a manifestation of interwoven conscious & unconscious thoughts that have ripened in a human mind, sometimes for decades. And the result is an interaction with another human mind, a dialogue. 1/3

I've uploaded a new version of Test::Mixed scripts to #CPAN. It's for #security testing #Perl distributions for mixed #unicode scripts.

The latest version supports testing for just 7-bit ASCII.
