CineStill 800T (FF) English Alt Text An indoor area featuring a large illuminated McDonald’s golden‑arches logo mounted on a wall. The bright yellow “M” reflects clearly on the shiny tiled floor. Above the logo is Chinese text. To the left, a staircase leads upward, suggesting the space is part of a larger building such as a mall or transit hub. The lighting is warm and highlights the contrast between the sign and the surrounding interior. 中文替代文字 室内空间中，一面墙上悬挂着明亮的麦当劳金色拱门标志，黄色“M”字在光亮的瓷砖地面上形成清晰倒影…

Imagine:
You are these parent of an adorable 4-year-old kid. They have made a toy airplane out of spare cardboard. Sadly, during play the wing has fallen off. You, a wise parent, produce a piece of duct tape and tape it back on. Your kid asks: "but what if the tape breaks, or the other wing falls off?" Dutifully, and with a completely serious manner, you duct tape the other wing, and then with a sharpie you write "Please DO NOT fall off!" on each wing. "There," you say, now the wings will not fall off. "
Your child happily returns to their play.
Imagine:
You are boarding a Boeing airplane for an intercontinental flight. Just the other day you were reading news about the emergency exit door falling off a Boeing airplane during flight. Thankfully nobody was injured in that incident, but a passenger could have been sucked out the gap and killed. As you walk down the aisle towards your seat at the back, you notice that around the emergency exit door of this plane, there are some scratch marks. It looks like it might not be 100% seated in place. You see several rolls worth of duct tape slapped onto the gaps between the door and the frame. In sharpie, someone has written "Please DO NOT fall off!" on the duct tape.
This is a post about #Agentic #AI.
To clarify: there are a host of reasons why using Claude Code is unethical in the first place, besides the fact that its a danger to its users. These make it unethical to use it even for a child's-toy-like application. But the source code we've just witnessed in the recent leak is *exactly* this level of "engineering." If you see an app that claims to be "programmed with AI" and it has any possibility of failing in a way that could harm you (for example, if it connects to the internet, meaning that poor programming could allow hackers to take over the device you run it on), my advice is: "Do not use it and warn your friends and family."
P.S. yes, this advice does apply to Microsoft Widows at this point, although that can be a tougher bullet to bite.

I was a guest on the Heavy Networking podcast, talking about routing performance and the recent improvements to the shortest path algorithm. A fun discussion for me at least packetpushers.net/podcasts/hea

HN825: Faster Than Dijkstra? Exploring a New Shortest-Path Algorithm with Bruce Davie | Packet Pushers
Dijkstra’s algorithm is the foundation of shortest path calculations for link state routing protocols. But researchers have developed a new algorithm that improves on this decades-old approach. Today's Heavy Networking welcomes Dr. Bruce Davie to discuss the potential of this new algorithm to unseat Dijkstra. After thoughtful consideration, and consultation with others, his opinion is it won't. He walks us through why.

Stop Memsetting Structures
TL;DR: Use C99’s designated initializers instead. Because it’s 2019! Edit: This post was discussed on Hacker News, Lobste.rs and /r/c_programming. It has been updated to address some of the concerns raised by commenters. One of the little things that annoy me when reading code is the unnecessary use of memset() to zero-out a struct. Something I see frequently in networking code that uses the BSD sockets API. Consider this snippet of code from the venerable Beej’s Guide to Network Programm…

I've joined the Xteink X4 team and took this opportunity to write the only post of this month. Just in time ;)

Barebones e-reader: Xteink X4
Minimalism is knocking on my door once more. Due to recent “geopolitical” circumstances, my relatives can no longer send me physical books. So, the obvious solution to keep reading was to turn to e-books. However, two issues arise: e-readers are overpriced, and reading on a screen didn’t work for me the last time I tried it about 15 years ago. But you’re sharp enough to have guessed, from the title of this blog, that the Xteink X4 device has changed all of that for me.

The Argentinian president, Javier Milei,
is facing his lowest approval ratings since taking office in 2023
as newly published evidence allegedly reveals a
$5m financial agreement connected to his public endorsement last year of a controversial crypto project.
The scandal has tarnished crypto’s reputation across Argentina
and set back the ambitions of industry insiders who saw the country as fertile soil for the growth of digital money.
Milei’s promotion of…

‘Disbelief and disappointment’: how Javier Milei’s bribery scandal may have derailed Argentina’s crypto investment
Just as the industry is set to capitalize on country’s political and economic instability, president accused in $5m scheme

Just finished "Song of A Blackbird" by Maria van Lieshout. It's an excellent and extremely timely historical fiction graphic novel about rediscovering a family connection that was severed by war, and the Dutch Resistance figures under Nazi occupation who saved many lives, in some cases at the cost of their own.
Despite being fiction, it's very closely grounded in historical facts, and the inclusion of photographs within the illustrations is really cool.
Now is an interesting time to be thinking about the fates of Nazis, collaborators, their victims, and the resistance, as well as how we remember them all. I especially liked the section at the end about the real historical figures and their fates. So "fascinating" that none of the Nazis were executed or died in prison (mostly they did serve long terms before their release), even those who oversaw mass killings and deportations to concentration camps. I'm a prison abolitionist and not a fan of state capital punishment, so on *some* level this seems like an outcome I should be happy about, but I somehow doubt that the state was this lenient for all prisoners during this time period...
