The British government introduced its new Data Use and Access Bill to Parliament on Wednesday, claiming the reforms to the country’s privacy regime could boost the economy by as much as £10 billion over the next decade.
That's an ambitious figure...

Added a fully functional Winamp to pieter.com now
It streams MP3s from ftp.pieter.com/MP3
@levelsio@levelsio
Moved pieter.com to its own Hetzner box So now we can really start hacking on some random shit 💾 Added an actual working FTP server at ftp.pieter.com: ftp://anonymous@ftp.pieter.com See what you can find in there :D Would be fun to add telnet or IRC later

@Carnage4Life But this Snap license does also get the HW on lease. A fairer comparison would be to price up lease of a Vision Pro and Apple developer license.
Not that I disagree with your sentiment: The whole thing is nuts.

@hydrosquall @swyx @huyendoesstuff @askalphaxiv I love this convention - it feels super-natural to use.

h/t @swyx for introducing me to the prefixed url pattern, and @huyendoesstuff for the pointer to the @askalphaxiv project! swyx.io/prefixed-urls

Adding a discussion/annotation layer is a great use of the prefixed URL pattern.
Path params of websites are a default implicit plugin API. Though it isn’t guaranteed stable, SEO discourages breaking changes, especially if the site has inbound links from print media.

Highest wall socket I've seen in a while. Could be wall mounted air con or maybe a plug in downflow heater. Very frustrating not knowing the origin story

@johncrickett @wrd83 I think this is more of an indicator of the lack of traction that rust has for embedded rather than the success of python per se.
Perhaps not a suprise - tools and techniques evolve slowly in the embedded world
English
@wrd83 The primary languages used to develop embedded software today are:
C (~70%)
C++ (~23%)
Python (~5%)
Assembly (<2%)

I checked it out and a lot of IoT device manufacturers are offering MicroPython on their devices.

Did you know that more embedded software is written in Python than Rust?

@AlecMuffett Is there any evidence whatsoever that the valuation in any way depends upon the product? 🤔

TruthSocial’s $11bn valuation rests on old Mastodon code which may be poorly maintained

Today we’ve published a paper about the cyber-attack that took place last October. Its goal is to share our understanding of what happened and to help others learn from our experience. You can read the paper on our website, and hear from our CEO, Sir Roly Keating, in this accompanying blog post: bit.ly/BLCyberBlogMar
