From Haaretz, a leading Israeli paper. The official IDF explanation is that the chain of command was told not to kill aid workers but intentionally did it anyway out of spite.

@jawnsy @bcantrill @ahl I'd call it "one of the few long-term OSS developers having a podcast" prowess. A podcast I happen to listen to :)

How often do you redesign your personal site, be it a blog or something else?
What is the normal impetus to do so? Change of platform, trying for new job, etc? reply below with answer.
Lastly, if you go on the longer end of redesign, are you still constantly tweaking and reinventing? also reply below with answer.
Boost if you please!

Recently, the software world was rocked by the discovery of a backdoor in XZ Utils. The backdoor represents many stories, but behind all of them is the story of a single Postgres developer, vexed by a relatable problem: "why is it taking so long to login?!"
On the next Oxide and Friends, @ahl and I are thrilled to be joined by that developer, @AndresFreundTec, the discoverer of the XZ backdoor. Join us on April 8th at 5p Pacific to hear this extraordinary story!

How to solve software supply chain concerns (management edition)
- require everyone fill in a form explaining why Python devs have Python on their laptops
- have OSS contributors send passport scans, use wallet names, and fill in tiresome CLAs
- corporate spyware on everything because MDM and AV wouldn’t be an attack vector
- if it is in a docker container it can’t ever harm us
- pay cloud supplier to tell us vulns don’t exist
- bring back password rotation policies
- another e-learning course

For Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta ( #GAMM ), the old cloud sync-and-share business model wasn’t working anymore.
So what did they do?
They convinced us that our notetaking apps require an internet connection and forty thousand dollar GPUs located on a server three hundred miles away. That's the future they've made for us.

By 2013, Netflix had begun entering into a series of “Facebook Extended API” agreements, including a so-called “Inbox API” agreement that allowed Netflix programmatic access to Facebook’s users' private message inboxes, in exchange for which Netflix would “provide to FB a written report every two weeks that shows daily counts of recommendation sends and recipient clicks by interface, initiation surface, and/or implementation variant.

“The United States, Israel's closest ally, said that there was no evidence Israel deliberately targeted the aid workers”
That’s pretty funny considering that the targeted vehicle had a giant WORLD CENTAL KITCHEN logo all over it, which would have been clearly visible from above. The bomb went right through the logo!

@slightlyoff and before anyone gives the "you're most productive in whatever you know best" excuse, I should clarify: I'm not talking about myself in isolation, I'm describing being someone managing multiple dev teams, not being hands-on, and optimising their *net* productivity over *years*.
We tried Big JS™ and it failed to deliver for both our developers AND our users.

The promise of frontend frameworks was that a local snapshot of the app's data model would be faster to operate on than a server round-trip.
This is a measurable question, and for nearly every class of app, the reality is that you should keep your data on the server and send partials to innerHTML if you want "interactivity".

Two good, productive takeaways from xz backdoor saga:
1. No source code needs to be inscrutable,
2. No build system needs to be Turing-complete.
