gregoriol··on What we know so far about Spain train crash
It seems that one of the train conductors did know that it was not the procedure and tried to warn of the problem.
gregoriol··on Apple's git still trusts the compromised eMudhra certificates
Why would it be more secure to post 4 manual commandline instructions than a single file?
gregoriol··on Spain train crash: 'At least 10 dead' in high-speed collision
The criteria shouldn't be paid or not, it should be quality or slop.
gregoriol··on AI promised less work. I've never worked more
Same impression here: things "done" are going faster, bigger, more complex, and the head has to keep up
gregoriol··on Microsoft offers mass buyouts for roughly a quarter of its workforce
That's why I put these into a separate list in the post
gregoriol··on Microsoft offers mass buyouts for roughly a quarter of its workforce
I still don't get why companies like Uber have 34000 employees, Canva 12000, LinkedIn 10000, Dropbox 2000, and so on, not even talking about Oracle with their 140000 or Salesforce with 80000
gregoriol··on Apple Security Research Device
Yeah, that's why most common credit card skimming happens at public ATMs or gas stations...
gregoriol··on PHP 8.2.35
Sury's own website and launchpad description are really misleading as to what to use, thanks for pointing to it
gregoriol··on PHP 8.2.35
Definitely not available yet, launchpad says last builds are from 2026-10-12
gregoriol··on Security advisory: Critical remote code execution vulnerabilities, update now
The conversation should be about having more variety in structural components, not less: if you kill php and everyone starts using Go for example, the next CVE found in Go will impact as much. The real way is to have more widespread ecosystems.
gregoriol··on Upcoming critical PHP security release (CVE-2026-109618 / -109619)
Yes, that's not very well done: when you are handling big IT services, you need more than "a person wrote a scary thing on twitter" to justify such an impacting action
gregoriol··on Hackers activate automatic defrosting in supermarket fridges across Europe
There are most likely IT governance problems: builders bought fridges, IT didn't provision sufficient access, installers put 3G keys instead of spending time getting the correct VPN/networking, and a few months later no one knows how this thing works, and IT is not mandated to find out that shops ever did that.

Ask claude
gregoriol··on Attack of the Vibe Coded Photoshop Clones
This, and also as an amateur once-in-a-while user of 2 apps, I don't get why I have to pay the same price as professionals using 5 or more apps every day.
gregoriol··on Zerobrew: A faster alternative to Homebrew
Why would one care for 100x faster homebrew? it's a tool you use every now and then, you rarely install or upgrade 1000 things, and when you do it doesn't really matter if it takes 10s or 0.1s
gregoriol··on Turn off Apple Intelligence on macOS 27 and get its disk space back
iPad Air 5 had 64GB, probably the last one, but prices for storage have skyrocketed since
gregoriol··on Turn off Apple Intelligence on macOS 27 and get its disk space back
Would be nice for iOS too: less than 64GB devices are unusable due to Apple storing a huge ton of useless stuff as "system"
gregoriol··on Updates to Full Disk Access in macOS
So if your terminal has access, your claude in the terminal has access too? that doesn't fix anything
gregoriol··on Micron CEO Says Memory Supply Will Be Much Tighter in 2027 and 2028 Than in 2026
They are probably too big to fail already (and too friendly with the current US gov). And even if they fail, open-weight models will take over as the usefulness of the tech behind has been proven.
gregoriol··on macOS Golden Gate Is a Buggy Mess
iOS 27 is in the same situation: a little bit less annoying than 26 overall but new bugs all over the place. If that is the Tim Cook farewell, it leaves a very bad impression.
gregoriol··on What California is learning from solar panels built over irrigation canals
Of all the ideas ever tried, this one seems to be the worst
gregoriol··on Looking forward to Git 2.56 – and 3.0
What could be simpler than "$ git stash" and "$ git stash pop" ?
gregoriol··on Qwen Image 2.1
Was going to post about this: the last image models with Apache 2.0 license seem to be from 2025, recent Qwen models are "non-commercial use".
gregoriol··on The Deathray: A simple way for an untrusted site to freeze a Mac
> All that happens is the perp loses any audience

You haven't heard about rickrolling, have you?

gregoriol··on Larger Pacific striped octopus
Pro Max is still available
gregoriol··on Hacking IKEA Furniture
That's because you do have the most common stuff: that's a choice. You could have a less common smartphone (iPhone SE? Fairephone?), audiophile headphones (Denon? Kef?), ... that would be more personal and better choice.
gregoriol··on HTML over WebSockets: real-time SPAs with barely any JavaScript
It would be nice if it was easy to "place the HTML where it belongs", but in a complex app it's never just-replace: you have to preserve a lot of state, wether it is filters, forms, user selection, scroll position, ... so updating live becomes quite a huge work.

I've seen good attempts with libraries like idiomorph, but still quite some plumbing to do depending on the app.

gregoriol··on Someone is running mass vulnerability scans, spoofing AI bots like ClaudeBot
Unique IPs is not something AI can generate easily, and blocking IPs in general is not efficient.

The big problem with AIs is that they can try new paths/payloads very easily, adapt quickly, I'd be more worried about that.

gregoriol··on uBlock Origin is giving up the fight to keep ads off Facebook
So basically Facebook ads won and we are doomed
gregoriol··on Show HN: iPhone app takes simultaneous images from 2 lenses, fuses into 1 photo
Nice! I was really missing working examples when I replaced an MPC by the lower-level Network, not an easy task, but it provides huge improvements
