I will soon be testing IBM Watson Code Assistant. Let us see what I get out of it. It requires VS code tho, a bit disappointing. I prefer Vim. But let me try it out with VS code. I might later blog about it and see how it helps me.

The latest version of nostr:npub1tdpjx7wpsg7stzgaj0lvdc7cpj4almh2gv2gft2l3xlxml3v7kdqk6w6tq Linux, version 15.5, has been released.

If you're using Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, or Unix-like systems and run `ps aux | grep foo', you may notice that grep appears in the output. To avoid this, here is how to hide or exclude grep from the ps results. https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/grepping-ps-output-without-getting-grep.html

I think this is wrong. Unix is not an acronym; it is a pun on "Multics". What do you think?

Okay, I've been seeing a lot of questions about the Apple Vision Pro this week so I thought I'd do a quick Q&A. Hope this helps. Credit: https://twitter.com/Michael1979/status/1666442408500797454/photo/1

Can you imagine reading someone's resume that says they hacked the government's satellite in space? This is #infosec folks wet dream. A SpaceX rocket ferrying cargo to the International Space Station on Sunday had a special little payload that will remain in orbit:

A satellite designed to be hacked from Earth at DEF CON. This August teams will compete to prod and hijack Moonlighter. https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/03/moonlighter_satellite_hacking/ #defcon

I want to honor the hero; hence I used the most possible polite world. When I first learned about forcing him to undergo chemical castration, I was despondent. There is no easy way to say this stuff, at least not for me. But one thing is clear humans suck. History is full of evilness.

Many Linux users have shifted their focus away from the Orange hub site and now prefer to use GitHub instead. That or their WiFi or sound is no longer working under Linux. Either way, they are losing Linux desktop users.

It is heartbreaking that the UK government mistreated Alan Turing. Many AI tech enthusiasts may not be aware of his contributions to the field. In 1950, Turing developed a test for artificial intelligence that is still used today, making him a valuable asset in computer science. Everyone should honor his legacy and memory. RIP, Alan.

Apple added #DX12 support to macOS and Apple Silicon via its Game Porting Toolkit. It’s basically a 20k patch to Wine that will make it easy to play AAA Windows games on macOS without using a VM. https://github.com/apple/homebrew-apple
