The iPad Pro at 10: a Decade of Unrealized Potential
The iPad Pro went on sale ten years ago, launching with a 12.9-inch screen that Apple believed would redefine computing through size alone. The company initially resisted making the device a laptop replacement and maintained strict limitations on multitasking, browser capabilities, and app installation. Over the past decade, Apple reversed course. The iPad Pro gained US … ⌘ Read more

How the Trump Administration Is Giving Even More Tax Breaks to the Wealthy
Jesse Drucker, Investigative Tax Reporter - The New York Times
Stephan: The federal minimum wage for 2025 remains at $7.25 per hour. Elon Musk just got a one trillion dollar pay deal, a number so large most Americans could not even write it – $1,000,000,000,000, (one followed by 12 zeros).
_Why? Because the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) minimum has not changed since 20 … ⌘ Read more

Were Neanderthals capable of making art?
The ability to make art has often been considered a hallmark of our species. Over a century ago, prehistorians even had trouble believing that modern humans from the Upper Paleolithic (between 45,000 and 12,000 years ago) were capable of artistic flair. ⌘ Read more

Advent of Code will be different this year:
⤋ Read More
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I think if I was younger, with more energy, and wasn’t blind with leber’s disease (look it up) I’d be fine™ But yeah I get the whole “exhausting” apart. I’ll join you this year, since there’s only 12 puzzles and as you say, we can “take our time” it might actually be fun! (as opposed to exhausting and pressured).
Advent of Code will be different this year:
There will only be 12 puzzles, i.e. only December 1 to December 12. This might make it more interesting for some people, because it’s (probably) less work and a lower chance of people getting burned out. 🤔
Personally, I’ll probably stretch it out over 24 days. Giving myself more time to solve each puzzle and I really want this event to last the entire month. 😅
Maybe this makes it more interesting for some people around here as well?
OpenBSD 7.8 released
Like clockwork, every six months, we have a new OpenBSD release. OpenBSD 7.8 adds support for the Raspberry Pi 5, tons of improvements to sleep, wake, and hibernate, the TCP stack can now run in parallel on multiple processors, and so much more. DRM has been updated to match Linux 6.12.50, and drivers for the Qualcomm Snapdragon DRM subsystem and Qualcomm DisplayPort controller were added as well. The changelog is, as always, long and detailed, so head on over for the finer details. OpenBS … ⌘ Read more

Legacy Update 1.12 released
If you’re still running old versions of Windows from Windows 2000 and up, either for restrocomputing purposes or because you need to keep an old piece of software running, you’ve most likely heard of Legacy Update. This tool allows you to keep Windows Update running on Windows versions no longer supported by the service, and has basically become a must-have for anyone still playing around with older Windows versions. The project released a fairly major update today. Legacy Up … ⌘ Read more

setpriv on Linux supports Landlock.
Another example:
$ setpriv \
--landlock-access fs \
--landlock-rule path-beneath:execute,read-file:/bin/ls-static \
--landlock-rule path-beneath:read-dir:/tmp \
/bin/ls-static /tmp/tmp/xorg.atom
The first argument --landlock-access fs says that nothing is allowed.
--landlock-rule path-beneath:execute,read-file:/bin/ls-static says that reading and executing that file is allowed. It’s a statically linked ls program (not GNU ls).
--landlock-rule path-beneath:read-dir:/tmp says that reading the /tmp directory and everything below it is allowed.
The output of the ls-static program is this line:
─rw─r──r────x 3000 200 07-12 09:19 22'491 │ /tmp/tmp/xorg.atom
It was able to read the directory, see the file, do stat() on it and everything, the little x indicates that getting xattrs also worked.
3000 and 200 are user name and group name – they are shown as numeric, because the program does not have access to /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
Adding --landlock-rule path-beneath:read-file:/etc/passwd, for example, allows resolving users and yields this:
─rw─r──r────x cathy 200 07-12 09:19 22'491 │ /tmp/tmp/xorg.atom

18 rules of Software Engineering
- You will regret complexity when on-call
- Stop falling in love with your own code
- Everything is a trade-off. There’s no “best” 3. Every line of code you write is a liability 4. Document your decisions and designs
- Everyone hates code they didn’t write
- Don’t use unnecessary dependencies
- Coding standards prevent arguments
- Write meaningful commit messages
- Don’t ever stop learning new things
- Code reviews spread knowledge
- Always build for maintainability
- Ask for help when you’re stuck
- Fix root causes, not symptoms
- Software is never completed
- Estimates are not promises
- Ship early, iterate often
- Keep. It. Simple.
Solid list, even though 14 is up for debate in my opinion: Software can be completed. You have a use case / problem, you solve that problem, done. Your software is completed now. There might still be bugs and they should be fixed – but this doesn’t “add” to the program. Don’t use “software is never done” as an excuse to keep adding and adding stuff to your code.
