Any business executive who uses Rewind on their laptop will soon be the target of a court ordered subpoena to recover “anything they’ve seen, said, or heard”. No more plausible deniability. No corporation can allow their executives to use this product.

Today we are launching Rewind: the search engine for your life rewind.ai
It’s a macOS app that enables you to find anything you’ve seen, said, or heard.
We’re also announcing that we’ve raised $10m at a $75m valuation led by Andreessen Horowitz.

all this talk about “quiet quitting” but what’s it called when you are expected to work at the next level for over a year before being promoted to and compensated for said level? do we have a cute name for that yet?

🚨🤓 First details I’ve seen as to what may actually be *causing* the outage.
Cloudfare seems to be suggesting that Rogers mucked a BGP update and in doing so severed the connection between the Rogers network and, you know, the rest of the internet.

ℹ️ Confirmed: Network data corroborate reports of a disruption to internet access in parts of British Columbia, #Canada, 7 June.
The incident is attributed to the activity of a single beaver, which gnawed through a tree that then fell on fiber cabling 🦫

Work life balance is great and all but even in my 40s I still want to sit at my computer all day and all night, at every opportunity I get, for weeks and months on end, writing code, finding vulns, and hacking.

For those of us unfamiliar with that jargon, … how would you rewrite that code snippet?
Quote Tweet
Replying to @silverfighter @vitorf_7 and @gopherconuk
I prefer the use value semantic construction to a variable and be explicit with the ampersand on the variable when sharing.
Lends itself to better readability with escape analysis.
Construction in Go doesn’t tell you anything about allocation, how it’s shared does.
The x-axis is confusing, because the “generation time” for men and women is different.

Human Generation Times Across the Past 250,000 Years
Generation time = the average age at reproduction
For humans, it fluctuates between 25 and 30 years, with longer generation times for males than females – a pattern found in many other species.

too much the same, only amplitude is varying; try adding small difference in phase or frequency too

n² + n + 41 is NOT prime for n = 40.
40² + 40 + 41 = 40(40+1) + (40+1) = (40+1)²
n² + n + 41 is only prime for 0 <= n < 40
Quote Tweet
I like it when apparent "coincidences" are related. I just learned that the near-integer exp(π√163) is connected to a strange fact discovered by Euler:
n² + n + 41
is prime for n = 0, 1, 2, ..., 40.
The secret connection relies on this fact: (163+1)/4 = 41.

B.C’s own Julia Grosso scored the historic goal for Canada in Tokyo on Friday, securing the gold medal win for the team. She got her start playing soccer in Vancouver. Susana da Silva caught up with her family after the game.
