This vulnerability stands out to me because I think the inherent danger of commingling data from different trust levels was never recognized. It clearly is. [flak.tedunangst.com]

Especially as a project grows larger, it’s vital to treat complexity as a budgeted resource, and use care in deciding where and how to spend that budget. [b-list.org]

it’s in the kinds of orgs most likely to insist on “enterprise” architecture patterns that the payoff is least likely ever to be realized, because such orgs are almost fanatically averse to the kind of change this architecture is meant to enable [b-list.org]

Forming and staying aware of the bigger picture of the organization is critical to doing more strategic work, taking on more responsibility, working *on* the company, not just in it. [keavy.com]

When we learn to write in ways that communicate our tone of voice, not just our mastery of rules, we learn to see writing not as a way of asserting our intellectual superiority, but as a way of listening to each other better. [stancarey.wordpress.com]

while we “tend to think of burnout as an individual problem”, the responsibility really lies “away from the individual and towards the organisation. Leaders take note: It’s now on you to build a burnout strategy.” [schoolsweek.co.uk]

Kelsey Hightower identified a pattern: Organizations move to microservices to correct the structure of their haphazard monoliths. They create a poorly-structured microservice architecture. It amplifies the monolith’s issues. No microsvc benefits arrive. [blogs.mulesoft.com]

We should strive to integrate data scientists into our delivery teams, involve developers in the data science efforts, and treat machine learning like functional software and not a magical black box. [emilygorcenski.com]

Every component added to a system is a potential fault point: The processors on HSMs are slow. This makes timing leaks easy to detect over the network. So now you can leak the key to remote attackers without any software vulnerability in the host system. [flak.tedunangst.com]

I keep eyeing Trunk-Based Development as a way to remove unnecessary review and integration delays. This experience report points to some tools to make that immediately practicable. [medium.com]

git-revise provides easy commit splitting and bulk message updating for a patch stack. It does not replace git-rebase for general needs, but where it works, it works fast. [mystor.github.io]

Most human lives have begun under threat, from war, exploitation, disease, starvation, or storm & drought.Our moment is radically exceptional in that a few hundred million people have been able to imagine real safety as the normal background of human life [theatlantic.com]

@33MHz Median would have been more telling, yes. Or a full distribution graph. (Most Website analytics packages amaze me by their uselessness.)

HN is generally known for having a good, mostly thoughtful comments section.

So, 851 comments – many of them full paragraphs or longer – about a 2,500 word blog post that should probably take an average of ten minutes to read.

Forty. Two. Seconds.

Large companies don’t fund computing education research into the learning of ML. They only fund new ML algorithms. Future engineers then fail to use them judiciously bc educators don’t know how to teach them. Future users - all of us - then suffer. [medium.com]

Exciting to see the Web platform expanding into WASM. Hot paths that can’t deopt on you are important to enable reliable soft realtime. This includes mission-critical tech like, of course, GameBoy emulators. https://link.medium.com/NDBn1Pa0W2

A license like Parity treats some code as public and some code as private based on its real and potential effects. “Prototype” draws that line in practical terms. “Private changes” tries to draw it in terms of pure ideology, and reduces to pure tautology. [blog.licensezero.com]
