Time Spent on Hardening

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-21 17:05:48

Time Spent on Hardening I recently received mail from someone working on a software-based approach to fault tolerance. Their tool makes applications more reliable, but they think it also makes developers more productive by reducing the amount of error detection and handling code they need write. They have never been able to find research that quantifies how much time developers spend on code for detecting and handling problems relative to the effort for the “happy path”. they know it’s substan

Two of the Kremlin’s most active hack groups are collaborating, ESET says

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-21 21:35:38

Two of the Kremlin’s most active hacking units recently were spotted collaborating in malware attacks that compromise high-value devices located in Ukraine, security researchers said Friday. One of the groups is Turla, which is easily one of the world’s most sophisticated advanced persistent threats (well-organized and well-funded hacking groups, many backed by nation states, that target specific adversaries for years at a time). Researchers from multiple security firms largely agree that Turla

There are many problems with Mastodon, mostly due to the fact that it doesn't rely on any cryptography. Because it cannot do the multi-master approach of Nostr due to lack of cryptography, identities are assumed to be "owned" by the server, which is fully trusted by its tenants. Mastodon server owners can do all the harm centralized platforms can do to their underlings, which are completely helpless in case of misbehavior or even in the normal case where a server owner loses their server or deci

Can-Am Origin electric motorcycle review: Good for a fun time, not a long time

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-29 09:00:00

It wasn't until your average electric car started managing 200 miles on a charge that the buying populace started getting over their range anxiety. That means electric motorcycles, with ranges often measured in double digits, remain a bit of a tough sell for mass-market buyers. The focus, then, seems to be "for a good time, not a long time," and that's very much the case of the Can-Am Origin.

YouTube Premium’s main shortcoming is stopping me from subscribing

Joe Maring / Android Authority Not a day goes by without YouTube urging me to subscribe to Premium. Whether barraging me with endless ads or taunting me with the lack of free downloads and background play support, Google believes it has a compelling case of pay-to-play. I’m not so sure. Even though a Premium subscription would save me a lot of headaches and allow me access to other features, there are no plans that fit my living situation, and this is likely a problem for many others as well.

Wimpy vs. McDonald's: The Battle of the Burgers

When the burger landed on the tables of the first Wimpy Bar in 1954, it marked a new era of modernity, global connection, and convenience for a Britain rebuilding from the austerity of the Second World War. But it later found itself at the heart of a cultural war against these same ideals. ‘The McDonalds are coming’, declared the Reading Post in March 1983 as Wimpy’s competitor gained ground on the British high street. ‘It looks like the battle of the burgers is about to erupt.’ As the first mo

Mastodon rolls out quote posts with protections to prevent ‘dunking’

techcrunch.com Sarah Perez 2025-10-03 21:38:53

Mastodon, an open source, decentralized alternative to X, is rolling out a somewhat controversial feature by adding quote posts, which will launch next week. The feature, which allows a user to quote someone else’s post and re-share it with their own response or commentary, has contributed to a culture of “dunking” on X, where users often deride other people by responding with snark or insulting humor. To address this concern, Mastodon says it’s implementing quote posts with safety controls. T

'Robber bees' invade apiarist's shop in attempted honey heist

A Terrace, B.C., beekeeper found herself in a nightmare situation late last month when "thousands and thousands of bees" filled her shop. Call it an attempted robbery — the bees were trying to steal sweet, sweet honey. Christine McDonald, owner of Rushing River Apiaries, said it's the first time desperate "robber bees" — bees that try to take honey from another colony's hive — have descended upon her indoor shop to hunt for food as resources get scarce in the late summer.

Universal Executive Regrets Most Hilarious, Perfect Part of ‘Fast and Furious’ Franchise

Before the abysmal mess that was Fast X, the ninth Fast and Furious film, F9, did the most insane thing imaginable. After literal years and years of joking about it, F9 actually sent characters to space. It was Ludacris (literally and figuratively), it was hilarious, and it was wonderful. But now, looking back, one of Universal Studios’ most powerful executives regrets it. “I’m sorry that we sent them into space,” Donna Langley, the Chief Content Officer for NBCUniversal Studio Group, said rece

Rendezvous Robotics exits stealth with $3M to build reconfigurable space infrastructure

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-10-08 21:00:00

For decades, engineers designing space structures have been constrained by the rocket fairing: only hardware that can be folded up to fit inside can go to orbit. This makes in-space assembly time intensive and expensive. The International Space Station, the largest single object humanity has built in space, was assembled over dozens of launches and cost over $100 billion. And, of course, there is no way to modify or alter the structure once it has been assembled. Rendezvous Robotics wants to c
