I have my own CLI parser - a fork of the old kingpin - and over time its evolved to have deep runtime introspection among other unique features.
Here using that to generate web based help viewers and I think this is a pretty sweet idea, will have to think how to incorporate this into my doc sites.

If I do say so myself, I do love expressive I can be with Kitten.
This is me injecting raw HTML markup into a Markdown code block in a Kitten Markdown page to highlight specific lines in a code block¹.
(The string interpolation of the HTML as an array is a hack that bypasses Kitten’s default sanitisation and should only be used with trusted content.)

Mein Rabbit Hole der letzten Tage war ein kleines Layoutprojekt / Wühlen in meinem Blog. Texte aus den Jahren 2006 bis 2011 wieder zu lesen, ruft einiges an Erinnerungen wach - die Debatten um Web 2.0 und social media in der Politik, der sich abzeichnende Politikwechsel in Baden-Württemberg (und Stuttgart 21 ist immer noch nicht fertig gebaut), aber auch biografische Pfade, die ich nicht eingeschlagen habe.

Quick strategy discussion, for those who understand Google indexing and SEO:
If I want to yank a web site out of Google’s now-fully-extractive search, should I (1) disallow googlebot in robots.txt or (2) add `<meta name="googlebot" content="noindex">` to all the page headers?
The goal here is not just to remove my contributions to the commons from Google’s results, but to •make Google aware• that sites are pulling consent. What will best do that?

Yet another #accessibility #overlay that introduces WCAG failures just by installing it.
Users might not be able to report an accessibility problem. Here, one field is unlabeled (4.1.2 / 1.3.1) and the other is labeled by its placeholder (1.4.3 / 3.3.2).

I quietly published the AI Alt Text for the Fediverse Chrome extension weeks ago. I have to say, I'm surprised that it already has over 2K active installs. Especially since it only works on Mastodon. I guess I can't be the only person who wants something like this, which is validating.

One last example:
The first LLM code example that really made my eyes pop was early after the release of GPT, when somebody got it to combine Breakout with Conway’s Game of Life (a truly delightful idea). It worked!
Funny thing: the Breakout code and the Life code had a •completely• different style and flavor. Red flag. In about 15 minutes of web searching, I was able to find one of the projects (can’t remember if it was the Breakout or the Life half) which it had copied wholesale, with just a few variable renames. And the other half? It was in Python, but it used dictionaries where it really should have used objects — tons of `thing["prop"]` where it should have said `thing.prop`, and lots of other un-Pythonic stuff besides. It was a machine translate of code from another language, very likely Javascript.
The entire thing was a plagiarized Breakout and a plagiarized Game of Life, one transpiled, and all stuck together in a single run loop. To be fair, figuring out how to (1) run both halves of the logic from a single loop and (2) count the Life cells as Breakout bricks is work I'd cheer on from a second-semester intro CS student! It's not, however, quite what's being sold by these companies.

AuthProbe: Specification-Driven, Multi-Identity Detection of Broken Object-Level Authorization in Recruitment API
Jay Barach
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.20574 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.20574 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.20574
arXiv:2607.20574v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Broken Object-Level Authorization (BOLA), also known as Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR), has topped the OWASP API Security ranking since 2019 and is the root cause of some of the largest exposures of applicant data in recruitment technology. The defining feature of this flaw class is that a malicious request is byte-for-byte indistinguishable from a legitimate one, which is precisely why web application firewalls and single identity scanners fail to catch it. We present AuthProbe, an open-source, black-box scanner that detects BOLA and IDOR in HTTP APIs by driving its tests from an OpenAPI specification and by acting under two or more identities that the operator controls. AuthProbe discovers, for each identity, the objects that identity legitimately owns, then attempts to read one identity's objects while authenticated as another and confirms a leak by comparing the response against a ground-truth fetch by the true owner. It also walks predictable identifiers to expose enumeration and reports missing authentication and existence oracles. The tool returns a severity-thresholded exit code and machine-readable reports so that it can gate a continuous integration build. On a synthetic recruitment API in which the McHire failure class is reproduced, AuthProbe detects every planted cross-identity read with no false positives on a hardened counterpart, and its running time grows linearly with the number of objects under test. AuthProbe is released under the Apache 2.0 license with an authorized-use guardrail.

Dogfooding was one of RDF’s biggest challenges prior to the arrival of LLMs as powerful general-purpose clients. Why? Because transforming and presenting RDF specifications in RDF form was difficult. Today, that problem is gone. Here’s an example of the new RDF 1.2 primer, deployed as a knowledge graph that uses Linked Data principles to manifest a Semantic Web.

3. STOP THE REFRESH when I make a selection. Allow me to fine tune what I want then have a 'REFRESH' button to show the results.
