I've read multiple times that Reddit 1.0 was written in Lisp. I didn't realize the source is public.
It's amazing. You can read the whole thing in one sitting. Even an undergrad could. It's like the essence of a…Reddit.
We took a wrong turn w/ software.

My dear father, #DanielEllsberg, died this morning June 16 at 1:24 a.m., four months after his diagnosis with pancreatic cancer. His family surrounded him as he took his last breath. He had no pain and died peacefully at home. commondreams.org/opinion/dan…

I hacked into a @Bing CMS that allowed me to alter search results and take over millions of @Office365 accounts.
How did I do it? Well, it all started with a simple click in @Azure… 👀
This is the story of #BingBang 🧵⬇️

I call this "curl author at curl party". Revealing exactly how fun it is when your little hobby project has grown up, gotten itself a job and seems to be doing well. And maybe just maybe that author tasted the single malt a little already.

When speaking with @aloria my spirits would lift. Her wit and brilliance were stuff of legend and she would often make me smile and think at the same time. You will be missed and this is how I will remember you:

Today is my last day at @DuckDuckGo! As with any transition, this one is bittersweet to say the least. I will miss the fab folks I have had the great luck to work with over the last 2.5+ years.
Catch me at the @HouseJudiciary Committee later this month!
Go @katielmcinnis go!

ALT HOUSE ANTITRUST DEMS GET NEW BLOOD — Katie McInnis, senior public policy manager for the privacy focused search engine DuckDuckGo, is moving to the House Judiciary Committee later this month, according to people familiar with her move. McInnis will serve as chief Democratic counsel for the House antitrust subcommittee, the people said. She takes over for Slade Bond, who left the subcommittee last month for a senior policy role at the Justice Department.

Ever had a tcpdump rule that you could just turn into a iptables rule? But you misplaced your nfbpf_compile ?
No worries, tcpdump-to-bpf.benjojo.co.uk… will do it for you so you don't have to compile stuff in a pinch
