@nev I love this. I do feel like Shan's shorter time in council is unfairly letting Holyday and his nonsense off the hook, though
@cargot_robbie if one looks at Shan's column, i. e. just the votes he was there for, it shows he isn't really an outlier.
Apple TV was really really sure I wanted to watch "Mayday" and I wasn't sure why. Okay, Ryan Reynolds in a Cold War comedy, that's kimmnd of my thing...
Then I saw the lovingly computer animated SR-71 BLACKBIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@vaurora nerd snipe status: direct hit
Apple’s App Review has been on fire lately! Five submissions went through in the past 24 hours. So it’s not too late to get your OS 27 updates in for Monday!
Now only my new app remains. It’s been stuck in review for two weeks.
now lenstra writes great papers and is always very clear about time bounds. if the discrete log computation is done within a prime finite field F_q, the lenstra/schoof method factors q - 1 and precomputes quadratic residues for each factor. this precomputation is the exponential part (in runtime and in memory).
so lenstra cracked the discrete log shell once with the q -1 factorization, but nobody has done any better in the past 50 years as far as i can tell. ECC is prone to the exact same attack, since ECC is literally just obfuscated finite field arithmetic
now, if some bell labs has-been like djb really wanted to threaten the safety of discrete log in a way that leaves P significantly closer to NP, i would tell them (like spinrad told his students, implicitly) to look for a robust algorithm for discrete log precomputation that doesn't internally depend upon a recognizer
OK, dopo tante risposte fantastiche e originali
vi svelo che io ci avevo visto una donna del secolo scorso cappottata dentro una tinozza (la parte in alto a sinistra è CHIARAMENTE uno dei piedi della sfortunata signora)!
Lascio a @Yaku dire la sua
Die Niederlande rocken das. Der Plan ist, dass alle auf https://social.overheid.nl verweisen müssen, die nationale Mastodon-Instanz! 🥳
@Sascha Supergenial!!!🥳🥳🥳 Ich ❤ die Niederländer. Sie sind so herrlich pragmatisch. Ein Träumchen!
Our app is ready for TestFlight submission 🔥
@pixelfed where can I sign up? Thanks!
thinkin about the category of "eBay Product Photos Taken Under Conditions That Would Get Someone Fired If Taken During The Time Period When That Product Was Current"
this was a $7000 CPU at launch. now it is: $60. sure put it on the bath mat
@mttaggart Learning to program is learning a new way of thinking. I don’t know of any other mind skill that can do it all: Detail orientation. Clarity. Problem solving. Procedures. Functions. Communication. Timing. Simplification. Experimentation. Testing. So much more …but above all, logical thinking. We should teach it in first grade.
You program with your mind, not your hands.
@meltedcheese I did.
The older I get the more my politics align with that of Poison Ivy. Was she the hero we needed all along? 🤔😜

Women counter demonstrate against the fascist mob in Portsmouth. One placard reads
"I don't need racists to protect me".
@davidgerard the wellbeing of our diverse communities MUST be fostered through the blood of children. Wtf else do you expect us to do, write alt text!? Fucking impossible, it's got to be the children's blood.

This is the type of post I might regret later, but I really had an urge to rant about the current discourse around pacing the frontier. https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/9/12/pdoom/
@mitsuhiko I enjoyed and agreed with this. It seems like the scenario we are going for is “long slow worsening of conditions for 99% of people” and not, say, power-plant compromise or backyard nuke.
Given our collective response to this on the climate, I want to try to be positive about this when it comes to economics, but find it hard to be.
Ah, the three genders: a specific transition frequency of the caesium-133 atom, the speed of light, and the Planck constant

I'm not normally a conspiracy theorist, but the idea that someone like Putin might consider a very efficient way to destabilise a country would be to mobilise a bunch of angry, resentful young men to threaten its emergency responders and council workers is looking increasingly plausible
@afewbugs There isn't some big bad pulling the strings behind the scenes. It's a lot of nasty bastards who've been given permission to get out of their box by decades of pandering to a dangerous loudmouthed criiminal who tapped into their resentments and the latent authoritarianism already in the system - both media and political.
