Fox chirality!
Do foxes obey Bose-Einstein statistics, in which case their spin quantum numbers would be +1 and -1, or do they obey Fermi-Dirac Statistics, +1/2 and -1/2?
If the latter, it is possible that the fox is a Majorana fermion, in which case a fox of the opposite spin would be its antiparticle.

HKDF is commonly used to derive key material just in time for its application. However, as a cryptography tool, HKDF is severely under documented and lacks prescriptive examples for intended use.
A large-tech blog shared their HKDF application and I identify several issues with its implementation. Inside is an anonymized version with critiques and improvements.

How to use HKDF to derive new keys
HKDF is a great tool to derive sub-keys from a master key, however it is often misused! Be careful about the salt parameter and use info correctly!cendyne.dev

How extremely convenient that IBM Research found a colorblind friendly color palette that includes roughly the colors of the bi pride flag

Petite astuce si vous souhaitez faire basculer votre TIC en mode standard sur votre compteur Linky en étant client.e EDF:
Contacter le 09 69 32 15 15 puis choix 1, 2 puis 4.
Si le conseiller ne connait pas la procédure, dites lui de faire une F185 sur le site SGE en choisissant le mode standard. Préciser que la procédure a été confirmée précédemment avec le groupe TD.
Appeler de préférence en période creuse (temps de midi par ex). Normalement, le changement devrait être effectif la nuit suivante.

- "Well, today I found out I've got a full shelf of CDs the national library in charge of the mandatory deposit in my country does not even have in its database, which lead me to read back the law to ensure I wasn't liable to a hefty fine."
tbf I share 99% of my library being online daily. But I still keep a few exclusive recordings which I know are either very rare to come by or shit I recorded from livesets from when I used to work as a sound engineer.
The rare records no one would actually be interested in, the live sets could easily be tied to me if they happend to leak on yt or something.
Blasting Cbat with the home theater rig made the periodic bed noises from upstairs that have been going on for more than an hour stop straight away.
I think the message has been received... 😈

Note this is a choice some IT person made years ago and nobody realizes is optional, or something is actually broken and people just got used to it. Re-Auth could be entirely seamless if they wanted, or only enforced for certain apps. This is not intrinsic.
Something I see a lot is people accepting bad IT experiences as mandatory. Like this is life, get on with it. But this isn't remotely true.
It's a choice, sometimes just not a choice an organization realizes it has. I have to be the person calling bullshit on stuff because I know. Because I understand what's normal outside the org, or I have literally done their job before as an IT Generalist.
The business malaise in accepting deteriorated user experiences is frankly shocking.
You're being led like a dog by people who aren't being challenged to do better. Who often are not stupid and can do better, but have no mandate to venture it.

A lot happened in 2022 (in a good sense as far as I'm concerned). A few rough times, but I got to make things moving 💜. Let's make 2023 even better ✨
Happy new year, and all the best to all of you 🎇

We have to deromanticize community. It's not some pristine untouched forest of soft moss and good vibes. The corporations count on that misconception to stripmine us for content.
Community has always been as weird and messy as humans are. It's work. It's relationships. It's hard. There isn't a magic number. They aren't inherently anticommercial. They don't all look or act the same.
That's one of the reasons I wrote this and am driven to write more: powazek.com/posts/3571
