"The overwhelming number of resignations — typically not seen until far later in a mayor’s first term — reinforces the notion that Mr. Adams trusts few people beyond a tight circle of loyalists who serve as deputy mayors and senior advisers."

Probably not worth switching if you're already an ultimate power user of emacs org mode, but it gets you a good way there with a more approachable interface.

I also appreciate that it uses markdown

There's a dataview plugin that lets you generate tables based off of whatever annotations you've added to your cards.

In this screenshot, the list on top is manually compiled while the table below is generated by querying release dates that I've added to game pages.

Okay, Mastodon friends, I rarely ask for amplification about my day job, but I personally pushed for my employer to make a big investment in enabling the fediverse, and I'd love for everyone to show that the support is appreciated. On June 28, you can join us for a (FREE!) hands-on conversation about how the Fastly team worked to support @Mastodon while the service was under a *massive* DDOS attack. Everyone who cares about scaling the fediverse should join: https://learn.fastly.com/security-mitigating-ddos-and-traffic-surges-with-mastodon @devs

Ran 5 miles for the first time in two years after injuring my knee. Running through a familiar route felt very… nostalgic :-)

The knee is still not 100% okay, but it allowed me to do this much, so I'm glad and may be slightly optimistic.

Dear bug reporter: please don't be an asshole, and don't file CVEs for bugs.

There is an Overreaction Industry built on these reports. Even if you try to file an honest #CVE for something, they'll twist it into automated scaremongering.

Please please please, don't participate in any program using CVSS. It's unfixably broken.

More work on surface-stable fractal dithering. The dots are now based on a (bayer) 8x8 ordered dither pattern.

Note how the dither patterns follow the surfaces from small to large, yet the dot sizes and spacing remain roughly constant in screen space.

I also replaced the hardcoded light with support for Unity's lighting/shadows/specular.

Forgot to post this on Mastodon:

I am once again on the job market and looking for work!

I am an applied cryptography engineer with an academic background focused heavily on protocols. I'm good at Rust, Go, TypeScript and more!

What am I looking for? Quite simply, a healthy, positive work environment where we make real-world contributions to people via software.

I have good references, and do good work! Hire me! Reposts appreciated.

Researchers have devised a novel attack that recovers the secret encryption keys stored in smart cards and smartphones by using cameras in iPhones or commercial surveillance systems to video record power LEDs that show when the card reader or smartphone is turned on.

The attacks enable a new way to exploit two previously disclosed side channels, a class of attack that measures physical effects that leak from a device as it performs a cryptographic operation. The first attack uses an Internet-connected surveillance camera to take a high-speed video of the power LED on a smart card reader—or of an attached peripheral device—to pull a 256-bit ECDSA key off a government-approved smartcard. The other allowed the researchers to recover the private SIKE key of a Samsung Galaxy S8 phone by training the camera of an iPhone 13 on the power LED of a USB speaker connected to the handset.
