I am getting a bit of an Ayn Rand flavor from Flanagan and I’m not sure how to feel about it, ref https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2024/02/thinking-yourself/677321/ and then see

It’s a people problem, not an accessibility problem / Darice de Cuba
I have been following the fallout from Jakob Nielsen’s betrayal of accessibility. Yes, that is what I am choosing to label it. He’s giving people and companies an excuse not to do their…

I am loving the story of Road & Track taking down a fantastic article on Formula 1 and failing to provide any suitable explanation for doing so. The article is a wonderful piece of sports journalism, and if the aim is to expand the audience for F1, it achieves its goal. Road & Track is now experiencing the Streisand Effect in full. Anyway, I recommend reading the article (which is on the Internet Archive of course):

Behind F1's Velvet Curtain
If you wanted to turn someone into a socialist you could do it in about an hour by taking them for a spin around the paddock of a Formula 1 race. The kind of money I saw will haunt me forever.

Have decided to try to do a 1.0 release on a useful but neglected piece of code. Oops, poor test coverage. Filling it in, expectedly finding bugs.
Wondering if this is a good place for an LLM code extruder? “Write unit tests that cover as many possible lines of code.” You wouldn’t get *smart* unit tests, but even dumb coverage is immensely better than none. Because a lot of the bugs unit tests find are dumb shit anyhow. And retroactively improving test coverage is boring.

Trump says GOP is the 'party of fertilization,' seems unaware of Michigan’s abortion amendment • Michigan Advance
Calling the Republican Party the “party of fertilization,” former President Trump continues to make false claims in a recent interview with a Detroit TV station, while simultaneously taking credit for the overturning of Roe vs. Wade. In an interview last week with FOX-2 Detroit following his Wednesday rally in Saginaw County, anchor Roop Raj asked […]

🧵 Thread: Re-plugging an old article that my friend, mentee and former colleague Mythri Prabhakara wrote about learning digital security over approximately 8 months while navigating her #neurodivergence and other intersectional identities, and a pandemic to boot.
(I’ve shared an archived link because the footnotes and text currently displaying are a bit weird.)

Learning digital security as a “non-techie”
A wooden duster came flying at 11-year-old me. I had misspelled my Venn diagram as “when diagram”, and the math teacher was teaching me an important lesson. Although not officially a part of the syllabus, my place within the classroom was clear.
