Kylie Robison @kyliebytesWhat I’m hearing from Twitter employees; It looks like roughly 75% of the remaining 3,700ish Twitter employees have not opted to stay after the “hardcore” email.

Even though the deadline has passed, everyone still has access to their systems.11:50 PM ∙ Nov 17, 2022

Good summary of what the Ukrainian USV strike means for the future of warfare by @CovertShores navalnews.comWhy Ukraine’s Remarkable Attack On Sevastopol Will Go Down In History - Naval NewsThe sinking of the Russian cruiser Moskva is one of the greatest naval victories in decades, and will deserve its place in history. But the attack on Sevastopol, with maritime drones, can be seen as a bigger deal in the long term. It had a dramatic affect on the Russian Navy. Here is why it may have…12:51 PM ∙ Nov 17, 2022

Sad news from @unccs — Fred P. Brooks, the founder and long-time chair of the department (and a major influence on my professional outlook) passed away a few hours ago.1:21 AM ∙ Nov 18, 2022

Dan Bricklin @DanB@SteveBellovin @unccs From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Broo… about Fred Brooks: "The most important single decision I ever made was to change the IBM 360 series from a 6-bit byte to an 8-bit byte, thereby enabling the use of lowercase letters. That change propagated everywhere." May his memory be a blessing.

@DanB @unccs I heard him say that! But there was more to it. Going to 8-bit bytes implied 32-bit words—what would the missing 4 bits do to floating point precision? It took a *lot* of measurement, simulation, and analysis to conclude that things would still work well.4:11 AM ∙ Nov 18, 2022

Of all the big social media behemoths, Twitter was the only one that truly inherited 2000s forum culture. So it’s only appropriate that it should die by the admin being incredibly divorced, having a personal meltdown, and pulling the plug on the servers for financial reasons.4:11 AM ∙ Nov 18, 2022

By way of an interesting form of code obfuscation and frequent, semi-randomized game updates, Ubisoft's (apparent) strategy for thwarting cheat-makers seems to be working.
