More good analysis of the Substack situation from @mmasnick
As a fan of decentralised systems, I like this part:
"Running a private website is all about tradeoffs. You have to make lots of choices, and those choices are difficult and are guaranteed to piss off many, many people (no matter what you do). For what it’s worth, this is still why I think a protocol-based solution should beat a centralized solution every time, because with protocols you can setup a variety of approaches and let people figure out what works best, rather than relying on one centralized system."Feeling good about moving my newsletter off Substack this week.

Native is simply just missing lots of functionality.

If a product is literally for generating docs sites, I would think its own documentation would be super dialed-in.
But in the case of Docusaurus, at least, that assumption has proven to be incredibly wrong.

Yesterday when typing in a Google doc, autocomplete suggested the name of an interview subject. I do not store any qual data in Google Drive and all my transcripts use aliases anyway, so it freaked me out. I’m guessing gdocs uses gmail data (at least addresses) as autocomplete fodder and I know I have emailed this person from my university email (gmail) account. I’m guessing AI is going to lead to a lot of inadvertent data leakage as autocomplete++ generates more content. Be careful out there.

"Core memory uses toroids (rings) of a hard magnetic material (usually a semi-hard ferrite) as transformer cores, where each wire threaded through the core serves as a transformer winding. Two or more wires pass through each core. Magnetic hysteresis allows each of the cores to "remember", or store a state."

Hi #InfoSec friends. I am about to start a new security/privacy/tech podcast with my friend @0xBennyV . We are thinking of doing a deeper dive on a topic or two per episode. More of a behind the scenes of the story/topic rather than a lighter view or news-like feed. I would be interested in people's thoughts and a few polls over the next couple of weeks. Please boost for reach!
What is an ideal target length to learn something, but not take up too much time in your busy lives?

musing about a former period in my life; time spent as Moffett Field Cubicle Monkey toiling away at a SPARCstation in a “temporary office trailer” built in the 1950s. the trailer was situated across a parking lot from a Really Big Wind Tunnel Building 🌬️, and as The FNG my “office” was there.
that building is/was big enough that it created & shaped it’s own wind currents, something the local hawks used to take advantage of when seeking crunchy daytime snax 🐭
