  @WIRED was a breath of fresh air in 2025. Transparent reporting, level-headed opinions, and pretty good political coverage (for a predominantly tech outlet). None of the I-will-write-cos-I-can crap, e.g., Marc Thiessen 💩 at @WashPost. #news #media https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/17/business/media/wired-editor-katie-drummond-tech-politics.html

  RE: https://social.heise.de/@heiseonlineenglish/116301661509651336 So, is now a good time for new companies to break into the computer component market -- processor, memory, storage -- and disrupt any mono/douplies? #computers #hardware

  Interesting development in the Math community. I wonder about the final outcome. Also, how many other academic communities will respond in similar ways to recent events? #academicsky #mathematics #politics https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-mathematicians-are-boycotting-their-biggest-conference/

  When folks and movies suggested that the next big war would be for water, who would have thought it would be for sea water and not for fresh water? 🤦

  This six-part post describes typical technical and process rot in orgs when product quality (e.g., security, reliability) and op excellence are incrementally sacrificed in the name of velocity, time-to-market, etc. #technology #management #techdebt https://isolveproblems.substack.com/p/how-microsoft-vaporized-a-trillion

  Recently, I read a post titled "self-cancelling subscription" that was about a buggy subscription system. But, why not make automatic-cancellation a feature? 🤔 For example, Netflix provides an option to automatically cancel/suspend my subscription if I do not use the service for, say, two months.

  I suppose the writing style is a reason why I read some books faster than others. Based on what I usually read and how I write, some sentence structures are easier to read and faster to understand than others. #reading #writing

  With #AI getting good at #hacking, is it time to start spending more time+resource preventing #vulnerabilities instead of curing them? I think, while getting #security correct (e.g., secure-by-design) can be hard, it may be relatively cheaper and easier than finding+curing vulnerabilities in code.

  Jen Easterly's remark in @WIRED's https://www.wired.com/story/anthropics-mythos-will-force-a-cybersecurity-reckoning-just-not-the-one-you-think/ is on the mark 🎯 Leaning on Alex Zenla's remark, it may be time to develop and use preventive approaches to apriori eliminate the links that can be strung together into long chain vulnerabilities. #vulnerability #software #security

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@orderwithchaos/116388771819954762 Of course, this development reminds me of model driven development, secure-by-design, efforts like SeMA (https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.10052), and Joydeep Mitra (: #security #software
