It was fun while it lasted. Lots of nice stories here in Europe.
Hmm… only if you innovate on the unsolved Millennium Prize Problems.
didn't they have weeks of advance use to patch? Goddamn
I like this magazine vibe, it reminds me of the good ol' l33t zines from the late '80s and '90s. However, if I can offer a suggestion, I'd also pair the technical articles with a little more punky, down-to-earth stuff. They were cheerful, informal, and full of that cheeky, irreverent, cocky smart-ass humor, plus this mysterious edge that made them absolutely magnetic to me. Life just wasn’t so heavy back then.
I got both Sublime and VSCode. Sublime is a work of love. You can probably do more things with vscode, but I'm not sure you can do many of these things better or faster than sublime. I don't think so.

Following Kaspersky's disclosure of the Notepad++ supply chain attack (June–Dec 2025), I (and a lot of Claude) built a PowerShell-based IOC scanner to help identify affected systems.The attack exploited GUP.exe (the auto-updater) to deliver Cobalt Strike/Chrysalis backdoors. While highly targeted (~12 machines globally, mostly gov/finance in APAC), many admins want to verify their systems are...
Thanks. I'm on it right now. Testing.
I’m on version 8.8.8, which says a lot.
This time I unfortunately have to move on from Notepad++. Vibes have been negative for a while but out of inertia (and because there weren't obvious alternatives) I never pulled the trigger. Now it's time. The trust is gone.
Thanks NP++ for being free and useful for so many years.
Can anyone suggest a solid alternative on Windows? I'm fine with Linux and macOS but I have to keep a Windows machine around for some legacy, win only, software.
Maybe Sublime Text could be an option? At this point I'd rather pay for something lightweight, fast, and probably better.
I don't like tooling that increases my exposure to bad state actors (whatever state they're from).
No way! just go with 120gr of whatever pasta you have (must be: spaghetti, linguine, paccheri, mezze maniche or rigatoni).
It so happens that a friend of a friend of mine works at this company. I'll ask for some details.
And anyway, we Italians have done some good things in the past. Not that this can't be a new EmDrive.

Speechless. I love this kind of creativity and agency.
Obviously I move the mouse pointer so as not to freeze the machine and speed up the process.
COST is $153/ONE YEAR (not monthly).

Very interesting project. Congratulations on the support you're giving to people in great difficulty.
Does anyone remember "that call"?

I don't see the link to the conversation with Claude in the Reddit thread. Did anyone find it?
don't worry it will be 45 billion but we won't build it anyway. But you know, between expropriations, bribes, friends of friends, projects, etc. some money will have to be spent.
Epic Battle, longest final ever. Too bad Jannik lost but, Ad maiora!!
If you don't understand this, in my opinion you have a little to learn about how the world works. That said yt-dlp is great.
