Vážná nehoda ve Vršovicích: Nákladní vůz srazil cyklistu, ten střet nepřežil

Ve Vršovické ulici srazil v úterý 22. října v dopoledních hodinách nákladní automobil cyklistu. Na místo ihned vyrazili pražští záchranáři. Muž ale utrpěl na místě zranění neslučitelná se životem.

Ani se mi moc sem nechce dávat babišovské téma, ale zjišťuju, že pořád jsou lidi, kteří nevědí a dost možná video je pro ně stravitelnější forma.

Je to série několika videí, kde je převyprávěné to nejdůležitější.

It seems to me that the mainstream software industry is no longer attractive to our best and brightest young technologists. This is sad. dragonscave.space/@TheQuinbox/…

"It might help if I had any idea what I want to be when I grow up, but I don't. Probably not a programmer, the thought of working on microservices and bloated web stuff all day does not appeal to me. But...what else? <shrug>"

Quin (@TheQuinbox@dragonscave.space)

@jscholes Everything you've just described is exactly what I'm feeling. I'm in networking 1, and while the other students are being told what an IP address is, I'm probing all the subnets on the school's wi-fi network with nmap.

Part of it's also that I just see how shitty software is. I go onto a website now and there's a very good chance I'll be met with a cookie popup or some other annoyance. I'd sooner die than get paid $120000 a year to put an aria-live region on an ad to announce that it closes in x number of seconds, or whatever. But that's where the world is going. Shitty web apps and super overcomplicated backend infrastructure that gives me a headache to even read about, and this is the person who read Bjarne Stroustrup talk about C++ templates for like two chapters and didn't get a headache. It's not the coding that I don't want as a job, I'd be happy working on fun stuff like NVGT or Hammerspoons, but open source software doesn't pay the bills, and I'm not sure I'm smart enough/possess the necessary business skills to sell software on my own. But coding's what I'm good at, so shrugs. Maybe I'll end up finding some fulfilling programming job. I haven't ruled it out, but I look at what a lot of entry positions on indeed would want and nope straight out.

Well now.

Rustls Outperforms OpenSSL and BoringSSL

memorysafety.org/blog/rustls-p…

news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4…

Apparently some fiddlery went on with the CPU, but even if Rustls is "only as fast as" the traditional solutions, I feel like it''s a hell of a lot safer from a security POV.

openssl-library.org/news/vulne… (about 10-20 a year) vs ... 2 for Rustls. Now 2 a year. 2 as in forever

Now granted Rustls has less legacy technical debt and baggage and is written in a memory safe language... Which I guess is sort of the point, it's more secure. So if it's as performant...


Rustls Outperforms OpenSSL and BoringSSL

ISRG has been investing heavily in the Rustls TLS library over the past few years. Our goal is to create a library that is both memory safe and a leader in performance.

The Accessibility Operations Guidebook by @viscousplatypus is finally out!

Spoiler alert: I, along with many other accessibility practitioners, are quoted in and contributed to it. But don't read it for those quotes; read it because Devon is exceptionally skilled in this space and has put so much care into this book!

I've only gotten sneak peeks into this book, but I already know it will be one of the best accessibility books I'll get to read. Check it out!

Expanding Access: Introducing Aira ASL 🌱

We are excited to announce a new initiative at Aira to support the Deaf Community with on-demand ASL interpreting services. Recognizing a gap in access to interpreters in public spaces like retail stores, airports, and banks, we've developed a separate app, Aira ASL, to offer immediate and reliable interpreting without the need for advance scheduling.

By contracting with ASL service providers and using our technology platform, Aira ASL will make interpreting services seamless and easy to access, just as our existing app benefits the blind and low-vision community. This initiative aims to remove barriers and improve communication access when and where it’s needed most.

Read the full announcement and FAQ: aira.io/aira-asl-on-demand-int…

Aira ASL: On-Demand Interpreting for the Deaf Community - Aira

Aira is expanding its accessibility offerings with a separate app, Aira ASL, to offer on-demand interpreting to the Deaf Community. Learn more here.

If the label on your cable on the table at your house,
Says the network is connected to the button on your mouse,
But your packets want to tunnel by another protocol
That’s repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall,
And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss,
So your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse,
Then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang,
’Cause as sure as I’m a poet, the sucker’s gonna hang!
