So amazing.
"Dr. Neumann died on Sunday at the Santa Clara Medical Center in Santa Clara, Calif. He was still working full time on a Pentagon-supported advanced computer security design, which is being adopted by companies such as Google and Microsoft. He was 93."

Peter G. Neumann, Who Warned of Computer Security Risks, Dies at 93
For decades, he criticized the industry’s lax attitudes toward both computer security and individual digital privacy. And he developed solutions.

So to summarize, AI will cause personal computers to cost ten thousand dollars, all applications will forever be frozen to about 2025 design and implementation (because that’s what vibe coding outputs), power to run the computer will be twice the price and also you need to sign in with your passport to start your computer in the first place.
Explain to me again how this is progress?

CAD – Computer Aided Design – is nearly as old as computers itself. Read about the entire CAD history here: #techhistory

Security architecture anti-patterns
Six design patterns to avoid when designing computer systems.

Are you...
- a #racialized / #BIPOC (#Black, #Indigenous,

Programming got insanely complicated since we don't need to type in the code anymore. All the time I have to think about design, ui and what I actually want the computer to do. So much harder than just reading manuals and figuring out APIs...

Alan Kay’s original “Dynabook” vision superficially resembles modern laptops and tablets — uncannily resembles in many ways! — but it’s the opposite in one important respect:
Our modern devices are beautifully designed, hermetically sealed products in which there is a strong vendor / user hierarchy.
The Dynabook, as I understand it, would be the opposite of hermetically sealed. It arrives not as a finished design, but as a starting point. Embedded in that “for children” ethos is the idea of play, tinkering, scribbling, making a mess and cleaning it up — and thus the idea of devices being •reshapable•.
