If you see someone wandering around with a half-open (or half-closed) laptop, they might not just be a frazzled office worker en route to their next meeting. Business Insider says that because AI coding tools run locally or depend on WiFi, closing your laptop might mean you lose progress on whatever project you're working on — and rather than changing their devices' settings, some coders would prefer just to leave them cracked open. When 15-year-old Arav Jain's schoolmates ask him why he doesn't put his laptop in his backpack, he tells them "I got agents running. I've got to keep shipping software."

Cryptographic Right Answers: Post Quantum and Rust Edition

[…] Cryptography is everywhere and as a developer you will need to upgrade your projects with post-quantum algorithms, whether because you care about the security of your users, or for compliance reasons. […]

"Design is dead."
"Coding is dead."
"Startups are dead."

AI fanatics seem to predict the death of everything. Since when did focusing on death become something to celebrate? (I realize the irony in this since my server is mementomori.social, but that's different)

I think AI will definitely speed things up and make things more efficient, but it also raises serious issues around security, privacy, the environment, and jobs.

As a lifelong coder, I embrace the technology, but I still hate the hype. It leaves me feeling pretty conflicted.

Is this a #secure #MessagingApp? Maybe not yet, but it’s time to think about #DigitalPrivacy.

Imagine a #Messaging platform that’s as #secure as #Signal but requires #NoRegistration and #NoInstallation. By leveraging #WebRTC for direct #BrowserToBrowser communication, this #OpenSource project eliminates the #Middleman entirely. Simply share a unique #URL to establish an #Encrypted #PrivateChannel. It is a #Lightweight, #Disposable method to bypass #DataHarvesting and reclaim #DigitalSovereignty.

This project introduces a new #Paradigm in #ClientSide managed #Encryption. Send #Secure messages with #NoSetup, #NoCloud, and #NoTrace.

Experience the #Features:
* #PWA (#ProgressiveWebApp) for instant access
* #P2P (#PeerToPeer) connectivity
* #EndToEndEncryption (#E2EE)
* #SignalProtocol & #PostQuantum #Cryptography
* #Multimedia, #FileTransfer, & #VideoCalls
* #NoDatabase & #Stateless architecture
* #TURN server support for reliable connections

While not yet a direct replacement for #Simplex or #WhatsApp, this introduces a unique approach to #SecureCommunication.

Is there a less planet burning #ai coding assistant for #python coding or are the big services what I should be looking at?

When #coding I search a lot so the 10 X more energy per request might be less impactful if it saves me a bunch of search attempts.

I am not a good programmer, I don't do it often enough for that and so I also don't particularly enjoy it a lot of the time. This feels too new like a perfect use case for these tools and a chance to experiment.

React-Like JSX Syntax for Webcomponents

TLDR: I’ve been #experimenting with react-like jsx-syntax with webcomponents to see if I could theoretically replace #React in one of my larger #software projects. It is not ready for production use, but rather a #Research exploration into #CustomElements and #ModernJS performance.

The goal was to build #FunctionalWebComponents that handle #StateManagement and #DOM updates without the overhead of a massive #JavaScript framework. By leveraging #StandardWebAPIs and #Proxy objects, I’ve managed to create a #Reactive programming model that feels familiar but stays closer to the #Platform.

How much more bloated the future ones will actually get?

-Yes

Thank dog, there are smaller options available.

For now at least. Thanks to all kind folks coding alternative distros!

Local-Only File Encryption with JavaScript.

I've been exploring the #WebCryptoAPI and I'm impressed!

When combined with the #FileSystemAPI, it offers a seemingly secure way to #encrypt and #store files directly on your device. Think #localstorage, but with #encryption!

I know #webapps can have #security vulnerabilities since the code is served over the web, so I've #OpenSourced my demo! You can check it out, and it should even work if #selfhosted on #GitHubPages.

IMPORTANT NOTES (PLEASE READ!):
* This is NOT a product. It's for #testing and #demonstration purposes only.
* It has NOT been reviewed or audited. Do NOT use for sensitive data.
* The password encryption currently uses a hardcoded password. This is for demonstration, not security.
* This is NOT meant to replace robust solutions like #VeraCrypt. It's just a #proofofconcept to show what's possible with #browser #APIs.

#Christmas #coding #challenge: write a program that prints the full lyrics to the Twelve Days of Christmas, but be #weird about it.

Choose whatever programming language you like. Use the language’s idiosyncrasies to your advantage.

For example, in C you might blend a for-loop with a switch-statement and liberally use case fallthrough. In BASIC you might use computed GOTO. In HTML+CSS you might use counters and selectors to do the numbering. In SQL you might use SQL.

Go.

How did this code never get code reviewed or tested?

"When the service encounters a null pointer while traversing a list, it attempts to read memory from that pointer rather than exiting the loop, causing a crash."

How's everyone doing tonight?

I slept most of the day because of pain from #Fibromyalgia and #RheumatoidArthritis, so now I'll probably be up all night. I'm going to try and get some studying done even though my hands hurt. Really hoping the compression gloves I ordered come in soon.

Since college didn’t work out, I've been building my own self-paced curriculum:

• Bible courses from Christian Leaders Institute to deepen my understanding and support future nonprofit work
  
• Coding lessons with #Codecademy (codecademy.com)
  
• Braille proofreading training through NLS and NFB
  
• And if I get the scholarship, AI Software Engineering at Maestro AI University. I applied two days ago and should hear back within 14 days.
  

Tonight I'm deciding whether to focus on Christian Leaders coursework, coding, or Braille proofreading.

Tomorrow's my 34th birthday. My mom’s taking me out to eat, and later we're visiting a new ocularist to see about prosthetic eyes. My current ones no longer fit and cause pain, so they'll likely need to start me with conformers first. I'm dreading that part, but it’s time. I haven't been refitted for new ones since I was 16, a few months after a surgery to remove my extremely painful right eye.

After adding real function to the main menu or Start menu on my blog a couple of days ago, I continued updateing the design yesterday evening. I added status bars for the windows to improve nostalgic aesthetics and functionality at the same time.

Fun fact: the menu was implemented without JS purely with HTML + CSS.

I also overcame the Android & Safari sizing annoyances by using dynamic viewport height (dvh) instead of viewport height (vh) in the CSS.
