Organize your Slack channels by "How Often", not "What"

A few weeks ago, I changed my Slack channel sections. I’m now more responsive and engaged, while also feeling less stressed. How? By sorting my Slack channels by urgency, or how often I want to read them.

How a Looming Government Shutdown Could Disrupt Transportation and Cybersecurity

The government might shut down tonight, and every sector of American life could be impacted. Later today, the Senate is set to vote again on a stopgap bill that Republicans are gunning to pass. If approved, the bill would temporarily fund the government until another funding bill is agreed upon. But, at least for now, Democratic lawmakers are standing firm in their opposition to the bill, demanding the inclusion of healthcare policies like the reversal of Medicaid cuts and the extension of Affo

The Lasting Legacy of the IEEE Computer Society (CS) Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN)

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., 30 September 2025 – In 1975, research into local computer networks was in its infancy—a vastly different dynamic than today’s environment where networks power everyday lives. But for the IEEE Computer Society (CS) and the community that supports the IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN), that was entirely the point. To this day, they strive to build a conference that adapts to the shifting research landscape and addresses global needs. “Fifty years ago, it was

Whistleblowers Say NASA Is Poised to Kill an Astronaut

NASA whistleblowers claim that President Donald Trump’s drastic changes to the space agency are imperiling safety to such a degree that insiders have become “very concerned that we’re going to see an astronaut death within a few years.” That’s according to a blockbuster report from the US Senate. “I see safety issues around us all the time,” one whistleblower lamented in it. The chilling warning comes as a new culture of fear and silence has descended on NASA after Trump officials instituted

Why I skipped Nest cams and got this excellent, no subscription $50 security cam instead

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Google is gearing up to announce a range of new Nest Cams for your home, featuring 2K HDR video and Gemini integration. However, if history is any indication, I think you should look elsewhere. Security cameras are a dime a dozen these days, and many of them are so cheap that it’s ludicrous to consider something as expensive as a $100-200 Nest Cam. Better yet, many of these other cameras offer more controls, greater privacy, and more options than Google will e

Tile trackers reportedly have a security flaw that can let stalkers track your location

Researchers have discovered major security flaws with Tile tracking tags, according to a report by Wired. These flaws could allow both the company itself and tech-savvy stalkers to track a user's location.

The issue pertains to how Tile tags transmit data during use. Tile tags transmit a lot of da

`std::flip`

std::flip is a little-known utility from the C++ standard library header <functional> : it is a higher-order function that accepts a Callable and returns an equivalent Callable with the order of its parameters reversed (or “flipped”). To understand how it can be useful, let’s start with a simple example. Consider the following tree node class: struct node { int value ; node * parent = nullptr ; node * left_child = nullptr ; node * right_child = nullptr ; }; Let’s write a function that takes t

The ADL Defended Elon Musk’s ‘Awkward Gesture.’ Now He Calls It a Hate Group

When Elon Musk gave two Nazi-style salutes the day President Donald Trump was inaugurated in January, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) came to the billionaire’s defense, saying it was just an “awkward gesture.” But Musk clearly doesn’t have the same kind of affection for the ADL. “The ADL hates Christians, therefore it is is a hate group,” Musk wrote in a tweet Sunday.

The era of Windows 10 ends in two weeks. On Oct. 14, Microsoft will be stopping Windows 10 support, and there will be no more updates to the OS. If you can't upgrade to Windows 11, don't panic.

The ability to get free updates on Windows 10 is a pretty big deal because it is still the most widely used

Can We Trust AI To Write Vulnerability Checks? Here's What We Found

Vulnerability management is always a race. Attackers move quickly, scans take time, and if your scanner can’t keep up, you’re left exposed. That’s why Intruder’s security team kicked off a research project: could AI help us build new vulnerability checks faster, without dropping our high standards for quality? After all, speed is only useful if the detections are solid - a check that fires false positives (or worse, misses real issues) doesn’t help anyone. In this post, we’ll share how we’ve
