That's it, all possible questions have been asked! /s

99% is a crazy number for a drop. I guess if you're big enough can can still survive and 1% is still significant. The trajectory is pretty clear and worrying [for them], though.

/edit:

Stack Overflow recorded 1,442 new questions in July 2026

That's… very few. 50 a day. Two per hour. For a platform [that was] as big as Stack Overflow.

Not even labeled as an ad/sponsored content/influenced "tip"/suggestion.

Yes, that's what it means.

And apparently, it happened selectively, not generally, but for specific people/request sources.

It would only be if you use the Notepad++'s own update mechanism. If you used other package managers or went and downloaded the installer to update you'd be fine.

His comments came as cURL users complained that the move was treating the symptoms caused by AI slop without addressing the cause. The users said they were concerned the move would eliminate a key means for ensuring and maintaining the security of the tool.

A single user commented, and they responded. “users complained” and "the users" is wrong. implying something different.

“users complained” feels like a misrepresentation to me as well, at least how I read and understand "complained". The user wrote “As a security researcher, this is honestly painful to see, but also completely understandable.” Is it complaining if they understand the act and change?

In a separate post on Thursday, Stenberg wrote: “We will ban you and ridicule you in public if you waste our time on crap reports.”

The linked separate post is a /.well-known/security.txt file. It's not really a “separate post”. And I don't see where they got the date from. Maybe from whatever linked to that in the first place.

An update to cURL’s official GitHub account made the termination, which takes effect at the end of this month, official.

Isn't that from the merge request, which is not merged yet? It's definitely not in the main branch. Current MR state is something different. The MR discussion clearly states that they will merge on 26th - no early.

“an update to the official GitHub account” makes no sense to me in the first place, when it's a file in a repo, not even the account.


At first, I only wanted to point out one thing. Now this whole article feels like AI slop. Dunno how warranted that feeling/assessment is. Is it sloppy reporting? Am I, as a reader, the problem?

/edit: The bleeping computer article posted in the community is much better/consistent/coherent. Of course, this one was earlier and already has traction.

A relatively uncommon but reasonable, good approach to issue management.

Discussions allow for different formats, including explicit voting, which is useful for things like feature requests.

AI models have a knowledge cutoff and do not have access to your personal or company data by default.

While context engineering is a broader topic, this post will focus on enabling access to high-quality data through data ingestion pipelines.

… we’re excited to announce the preview release of data ingestion building blocks for .NET.

… how these building blocks empower the .NET ecosystem to build composable data ingestion pipelines for their AI applications.

Over the past week, we've identified and tracked an unprecedented 23 extensions which copy other popular extensions, update after publishing with malware, manipulate download counts, and use KNOWN attack signatures which have been in use for months. Many of these relate to Glassworm malware, but there could be mulitple campaigns at work also.

When Zork arrived, it didn’t just ask players to win; it asked them to imagine. There were no graphics, no joystick, and no soundtrack, only words on a screen and the player’s curiosity. Yet those words built worlds more vivid than most games of their time. What made that possible wasn’t just clever writing, it was clever engineering.

Beneath that world of words was something quietly revolutionary: the Z-Machine, a custom-built engine. Z-Machine is a specification of a virtual machine, and now there are many Z-Machine interpreters that we used today that are software implementations of that VM. …

The issue, presumably the PR (linked at the top of the issue because of reference).

Look at the code change. It gets inputs and loops over them and seems to do an in-place fixup. But the code indent is wrong, and it even changed the function definition of the unrelated next function. In Python, the indent-logic-significance language.

I assume they briefly showed the code on stage. Even then it should have been obvious to any developer. py file, messy indent, changes unrelated function.

Please correct me if this is the wrong PR.

During OpenAI’s GPT-5 launch event, they demoed the model’s ability to fix real bugs in production code. Live on stage. In their own repository. The kind of demo that makes CTOs reach for their credit cards and engineers nervously update their resumes. There’s just one small problem: the fix they promised to merge “right after the show” is still sitting there, unmerged, three and a half months later.

Wanna hear a joke about construction? I am still working on it🤣

Why did the developer go broke? Because he ran out of cache 🤣

A good overview of their tests and findings surrounding Flock cameras. Goes through some approaches on manipulating and monitoring the cameras themselves, but also the hosted Flock platform, police, shared data, and politics.

binfmt_misc (short for Binary Format Miscellaneous) is a Linux kernel feature that allows the system to recognize and execute files based on custom binary formats. It’s part of the Binary Format (binfmt) subsystem, which determines how the kernel runs an executable file.

In 2019, SentinelOne published a two-part analysis describing a persistence technique called Shadow SUID (Part 1, Part 2): Shadow SUID is the same as a regular suid file, only it doesn’t have the setuid bit, which makes it very hard to find or notice. The way shadow SUID works is by inheriting the setuid bit from an existing setuid binary using the binfmt_misc mechanism, which is part of the Linux kernel.

Interestingly, this technique seems to have fallen into oblivion again, as neither MITRE ATT&CK nor the five-part Elastic Security “Linux Persistence Detection Engineering” series mentioned it (the last part here with links to all other parts). As of 2025, however, the technique works wonderfully and would probably be very difficult to detect (see the hunting section later).

Central to Copilot Studio’s innovation is its deep integration with .NET, including the use of .NET on WebAssembly (WASM).

This post explores how Copilot Studio utilizes .NET, the benefits realized from platform upgrades, and the resulting performance, cost, and productivity improvements.

Copilot Studio is a low-code experience for creating conversational and autonomous agents, but the runtime executing those agents is based on .NET.

Four more days until dotnet 10 release. Are you excited?

I am. There's always a ton of new things, some quite pleasant and exciting to use. C# extension usually have the biggest impact on me. This time, I'm excited for

  • Null-conditional assignment
  • Simple lambda parameters with modifiers
  • field backed properties

Last week I tried/had to try RC2 and assess release notes for changes because [developing and] debugging Blazor WebAssembly in dotnet 9 is bothersome. I wasn't successful in making the switch, but I found a service worker registration bug fix noted with "should also be applied to dotnet 9 projects" which solved the biggest issue for now (deployed app not updating).

I'm still concerned about the Blazor WebAssembly tech complexity and indirection (we're working on an offline-capable website/PWA), but I'm somewhat hopeful dotnet 10 will improve working with and on it a bit.

If you don't care too much and don't have experience yet, why not go for native browser and HTML/CSS/JavaScript?

Even if you eventually migrate to other web UI libs and frameworks, the foundations knowledge will be useful.

  • excited to share
  • to the Developer Portal (as if it were only a dev portal interface and not subscription or established flow changes)
  • designed to elevate YOUR experience
  • designed to ensure YOU get the most from them
  • to better support YOUR development needs
  • more powerful platform
  • more streamlined platform
  • to suit every stage of YOUR journey
  • Discontinuation of Free Limited Trial Packages

Yep, completely dishonest corporate double-speak - and not just in the word “excited”.

ROCm is an implementation/superset of OpenCL.

ROCm ships its installable client driver (ICD) loader and an OpenCL implementation bundled together. As of January 2022, ROCm 4.5.2 ships OpenCL 2.2

Shaders are computational visual [post-]processing - think pixel position based adjustments to rendering.

OpenCL and CUDA are computation frameworks where you can use the GPU for other processing than rendering. You can use it for more general computing.

nVidia has always been focusing on proprietary technology. Introduce a technology, and try to make it a closed market, where people are forced to buy and use nVidia for it. AMD has always been supporting and developing open standards as a counterplay to that.

Feature World Lighting: not implemented

Lighting is server side? o.O

I guess because it influences creep spawn or sth?

[-] Kissaki@programming.dev 30 points 2 years ago

I'm just glad we didn't end up with this one (seen in the ticket)
