Bluesky may soon get a new blue checkmark verification system, according to changes to the app’s public GitHub repository spotted Friday by reverse engineer alice.mosphere.at. The blue checks may have a similar look to the system pioneered by Twitter, now X, but Bluesky’s version seems like it will work quite differently. Bluesky’s blue check system may rely on multiple organizations to distribute blue checks, according to the codebase changes. That suggests Bluesky will actively verify notabl

Security verification for hardware is literally foundational: hardware resides on technology’s ground floor, so attacks on it can impact every floor above it, including operating systems, applications, and communications. To examine technology’s hardware foundation, a group of researchers recently used simulation-based hardware information-flow tracking (IFT) for hardware security verification. IFT uses knowledge of design assets to define security requirements, objectives, and boundari

March 18, 2025 Verification-First Development Or: why test-first development is not the same as test-driven development A while back I argued on the Blue Site that "test-first development" (TFD) was different than "test-driven development" (TDD). The former is "write tests before you write code", the latter is a paradigm, culture, and collection of norms that's based on TFD. More broadly, TFD is a special case of Verification-First Development and TDD is not. VFD: before writing code, put in
