Preprints werden zunehmend als eigenständige wissenschaftliche Publikationen zitiert – auch dann, wenn sie später nicht in einer Fachzeitschrift erscheinen. Eine Analyse von sechs großen Preprint-Servern zeigt: 2021 verwies fast jeder fünfte Zeitschriftenartikel auf mindestens einen Preprint. Die Studie spricht deshalb von einem strukturellen Wandel der Zitationspraxis.

i'm asking because i haven't seen any cryptanalysis of this or other elliptic curve crypto and the arguments of security that go by key size alone are incredibly weak. this was something diffie called out in the 1976 paper as some bullshit that historians had found cardano (math fuckboy) would claim, incorrectly

@slashdot They will continue exploiting real data workers in África and Asia.

@meadow I wonder if he was appointed by the current US administration

Before I get too deeply embedded in my own Computer Bullshit, I'd really love to hear from you.

What are interesting hardware and software projects happening right now?

Who's doing weird stuff with computers?

What are projects that haven't gotten enough attention.

I was, when I was paying attention, really into LoRa mesh stuff, project gemini/smallweb stuff, retrocomputing, and anything that positioned a microcontroller as a PC replacement or companion.

I was carrying a palm, or a HP200LX, and I was doing a bulk of my daily work on an HP Omnibook 430 (or 425?) running MS-DOS and Win31 from ROM on AA batteries (It's the best computer that ever existed.)

Treasury Takes Action Against Violent Far-Left Terrorist Networks

Today, 26 August 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) took action to counter the growing threat posed by violent far-left terrorist groups. OFAC sanctioned Autistici Inventati, an Italy-based entity that supplies specialized digital architecture, tools, and services* for Antifa cells and other violent far-left extremists, including a foreign terrorist organization; Palestine Action, a United Kingdom (UK)-based organization proscribed as a terrorist group by the UK government in July 2025; and the transnational group Masar Badil, which operates as a front for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.

“Far-left extremists, their fronts, and their enablers should be on notice: We will bring the full weight of our economic tools to bear,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent. “Political terrorism has no place in our society, and we will continue to cut the financial lifelines of these groups until they are eliminated.”

* specialized digital architecture, tools, and services = blogs, mailing lists and mailboxes!

@kepano there’s a good reason designers / developers with attention to detail tend to stick to Apple‘s platforms.

Just using Android simulator compared to iOS simulator is so much more of a pain in the ass: copy / paste doesn’t work with keyboard shortcuts, it’s incredibly slow, it uses its own routing and can therefore often not interact with local APIs, graphics rendering is different than on a real device and much more. I‘m only doing the absolute minimum for Andoid and target iOS first.

@notzed ouch I am sorry 😢

No, #ArchLinux is not associating with DHH or any of his projects. I'd sooner resign.

@cstross @nblr @davidgerard @henryk But those need only be in the tens of MWs, such as OPAL, Australia’s only nuclear reactor in Sydney.

@jenniferplusplus agreed.

The flip side of this is that students earn grades, they do not "receive" them: the grade they receive is the instructor' best assessment of the quality of the work submitted. (This is handy wording to dissuade students from complaining about their grades.)

@glyph I don't like the forcing function, but it might not be the worst thing for projects to remember that community—real community—precedes code generation.

I actually think the fork->PR from anyone workflow broke our brains a bit.

@pingviini a web browser? isnt that some kind of emacs

@farah The grim reaper's aim is absolute shit this year.

REMINDER: Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in now 73 days. Yet he still:
•Has his job
•Gets paid, and
•Gets free world-class healthcare

The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, & against guaranteed paid leave, is getting all three when he needs it most. Every person deserves the human dignity McConnell is getting on the taxpayer dime. Anything less is shameless cruel hypocrisy.

I totally agree that snac and it's dev are amazing but wouldn't giving folk a choice be good too?

After a little practice, using masks to print a grey background to an otherwise black print is proving to be an easier than expected way to increase the sense of depth (aerial perspective) to engravings.
