Believe it or not, there is still plenty of interesting and exciting work to talk about that doesn't involve LLMs.
Cryptographers contributing to the IETF is working to standardize FROST, a two-round threshold signature algorithm based on Schnorr proofs, which is backwards compatible with Ed25519.
This means it will soon be possible to generate Ed25519 signatures from, for example, 4-of-7 shares held by independent parties. And the verifier doesn't need to do anything different; it's just an Ed25519 signature to them.
That's cool as fuck.
There's little-to-no hype about it.
I say it a lot but the biggest gift I can get at work is a cancelled meeting s I can get a bonus hour of getting code and docs written down :P

i swear so many problems in society are just the
#knowledgeProblem over and over again.
like the thing that so much software is designed to be addictive is yet another instance of central planning run amok.
instead of software being created in an exchange between devs and users big tech has big dumb metrics (engagement) to maximize, because that's what you need to rely on if you suffocate bottom-up discovery processes with your big dumb oligopoly.

you can play golf on a sharp pocket calculator from the 80s
but i cannot edit video and have a web browser open at the same time on a system with 8G RAM
we need to start over again. everything has gone wrong.
I wish there was an hour long remix in the vibe of this track. It feels so good to code to.

two of the best feelings when programming are:
1. figuring out a really clever way to solve a problem
2. figuring out a really stupid way to solve a problem

i'm really excited to show https://compost.party to the world! it's a web server running on an old, broken phone, getting energy from the sun using one of those portable solar chargers that you may also have lying around.
it's a real oddity and a real beauty
Fortnite is like Garry's Mod if it looked good and had a default set of game modes that were well made
I get I'm a weirdo but it still boggles my mind how much RAM vs code gobbles during normal operation. Especially when you have a "language server" running. This rust one is taking like 2.5 GB for a ~200 line file.
Every time I see my system chug to a halt when I add a new token to the tree for it to analyze I keep wanting to go back to nano. 😿
Say what you will about Node.js but having async streams be a standard part of any io APIs makes it pretty easy to mess with different data sources and sinks. I'm trying to do something similar in Rust and it appears there's a billion ways to do io.

Why not here?
“WaterBottle, a worker-owned cooperative, is one such example. It includes a property management division and construction service under its umbrella and spreads control of the operation among its employees, with no formal hierarchy and a one-person, one-vote system of governance. It owns 22 properties in West Baltimore, where it’s restoring dilapidated buildings and renting them out with first dibs offered to the workers.”

Being nonbinary is just using custom settings instead of presets but for gender
The complaints about Linux needing way too much command line tinkering are valid.
Luckily for me I like tinkering in the command so much I use my "file browser" like twice a month at this point and do the rest with bash.
Just finished playing Stray. Ending made me cry NGL
