@Lana@beige.party Tom Emmer has Michelle Bachman's old seat.
The people he represents would *totally* send him notes like that.

@da_667@infosec.exchange Love this.
As someone who keeps ending up playing wizards with secondary heals.
Which means I can make things up for delivery method.
"does it really need to go there?" "Yes."

Companies don't want to pay for skilled admins that know this is a reasonable thing to do (or even possible!)
Management failure
Replying to
@Infoseepage@mastodon.social @alextecplayz@techhub.social @newsguyusa@flipboard.social it's been justifiable for a long time.
I think we're on "strategic considerations" as the incidents keep stacking up
Replying to
@atoponce@fosstodon.org it's certainly not perfect (lower entropy than it looks like), but I think it's still way better than most people would do without prompting.

@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange Roko's real basilisk was the executives we hired along the way

@nixCraft@mastodon.social A is probably what the policy should be, but C is more likely whether A or C is the actual choice.
And *whatever* the choice ends up being, it should be up for review automatically in ~3 years

@plutarch@gotosocial.plutar.ch @alice@lgbtqia.space @veronica@explains.social is it saying that AIs are kleptomaniacs?

@atoponce@fosstodon.org I may have used the second one once shortly after discovering passphrases
Replying to
@da_kink@defcon.social @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange He didn't attend in 2017,2018,2019, and 2025
That's not *just* last time, that's the 4 last times he would have been the GoH
I mean, I can't *prove* anything, but with these people someone will either admit it outright in the next week or it already leaked and I just haven't heard about it yet
Replying to
@raymaccarthy @LinuxJedi C++ has lots of implementation variation even between platforms it's supported on, which makes it a bad choice if portability is one of your constraints
Ada and Modula-2 are simply not portable, why would you even bring them up?
Replying to
@coleens_@infosec.exchange definite possibilities with those suits. I'm sure you'll find some you like

@mitch@hoagie.cloud @jessie@mastodon.social people are easily confused, which is sometimes entertaining and sometimes less so
Replying to
@phil @neurovagrant @EndlessMason you have to be smart enough to do the job without AI to be able to use the current generation of AI effectively and safely.
But that's not how it's being sold, and that's not how executives see the situation
Which means this whole mess isn't an end user failure (oh, if only the end users were smarter and more attentive, BUT THEY"RE NOT)
It's a management failure (not understanding their workers, and not understanding the tools they are making their workers use).
Vacation's over.
After another downsizing at my previous employer I find myself looking for new challenges.
I'm a programmer/admin with 30 years of professional experience in Linux. I have built full SAAS platforms and technical teams.
My passion is performance, and I have a track record of making DBMS systems do as they are told at both vertical and extremely horizontal scales.
All this while having an eye on system security.
If you're thinking "I have this need, but I'm not sure if it's possible", I can tell you if it's possible, and make it happen from the ground up if necessary.

@phryk@mastodon.social @catsalad@infosec.exchange they'd have to bite hard enough to not be vegan to spread the condition, which would prevent it from spreading.
So, No.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org @Sobex@social.sciences.re @solitha@mastodon.social @lazy@fedi.at of course! I'm sure if you follow this thread long enough everything will come out.
It's been really fun so far
Replying to
@aatch@mastodon.nz @semitones@tiny.tilde.website @BobLefridge@mastodon.nz the US has significant deposits of just about everything, it's just been cheaper to import them from China, and it takes *time* to get new mines going
The current administration is so shortsighted that they might as well be blind
Replying to
@vvandinsky@universeodon.com @rbreich@masto.ai well, for one thing, what kind of fool would vote for someone fairly convicted of election manipulation?
Replying to
@MisuseCase@twit.social @jimray@mastodon.social can't happen in the US, the lead time for a nuclear build is too long and the AI hypsters don't have enough pull to shorten it.
They'll end up running on solar+storage...
Replying to
@feld@bikeshed.party @jimray@mastodon.social @MisuseCase@twit.social nuclear power is just fine, it's just buried in fossil fuel powered administratium
Because radiation is scary
Replying to
@DaveMWilburn@infosec.exchange @sundogplanets@mastodon.social they've admitted to a risk that could cause material harm to people engaged in a normal activity (and suggests that it could damage expensive scientific instruments as well)
Regardless of explicit laws on the particular topic that might expose them to civil suits that could get expensive.
And that could be the case even if they hadn't admitted to it.
Replying to
@mitch@hoagie.cloud @jessie@mastodon.social except lead and lead mean completely different things!

Kessler syndrome my old friend,
I've come to dance with you again
Too many satellites streaming
Over this ground where I'm dreaming
And collisions,
that make them multiply
Up in the sky
Creating Kessler syndrome

If I'm getting paid, I use whatever language is necessary. That's what you do.
Clearly you love ada, but does it actually meet *all* the requirements for a cryptographic library?

@pikhq and it works so well that we're absolutely being flooded with those apps...

Wait, we're not?

And they still believe that it works like that?
Failsons, indeed
Replying to on eigenmagic.net
@abstractcode@eigenmagic.net @xssfox@cloudisland.nz @daedalus@eigenmagic.net Which is fine if the problem is that the problem is over here.
Replying to
@csb6 @raymaccarthy @LinuxJedi there's also the other constraints, as well as the additional constraint "do the developers involved already know Ada?"
Which is a huge one, especially for open source projects where the people involved are likely to not be being paid directly
Replying to
@feld@friedcheese.us note that it says *large* amounts.
That Starbucks iced coffe might as well be a milkshake, but 1 cream 1 sugar barely moves the needle.
