There is a lot happening on the project right now, especially in the lead up to 4.6. We're also now part of the Social Web Working Group at the W3C. As usual, many moving parts to coordinate. I'm always excited to see the team's progress as we pull together our monthly update for the community.

Shitpost projects, where someone takes an objectively terrible idea and puts way too much effort into executing it well, don't hit the same when we're all drowning in slop.
Did they put any effort into it? Do they realize it was a terrible idea?
Impossible to tell.
Poe's law comes for us all.
Random thought.
If public libraries didn't already exist, capitalism wouldn't let you invent it. Can you imagine how many billions Jeff Bezos would plough into fighting the idea, destroying any politician who dared to back it?

New, by me: How AI Assistants are Moving the Security Goalposts
AI-based assistants or “agents” — autonomous programs that have access to the user’s computer, files, online services and can automate virtually any task — are growing in popularity with developers and IT workers. But as so many eyebrow-raising headlines over the past few weeks have shown, these powerful and assertive new tools are rapidly shifting the security priorities for organizations, while blurring the lines between data and code, trusted co-worker and insider threat, ninja hacker and novice code jockey.

My current thinking is that in order to make a resolution independent UI toolkit one must first have a resolution independent drawing library?
The things I've found on that were algorithms based on device independent pixels.
Is that still actually the state of the art?
My primary design constraint is that I want the scaling to be zero cost when there's no actual scaling happening.
Can anyone point me to some good books/posts on the subject?
It turns out GenAI code changes are causing serious incidents and outages at Amazon with "high blast radius" https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/03/after-outages-amazon-to-make-senior-engineers-sign-off-on-ai-assisted-changes/

Hello friends, we lost access to our old Varia fediverse account, but we are now back and ready to federate!
This is our new account, please follow us on here to connect with us again.
For those who don't know us, Varia is a member-based collective that maintains a ground floor space at Gouwstraat 3, Charlois Rotterdam, since 2017. Together we experiment with creating and maintaining physical and digital infrastructures needed for collective, cultural work. More about what we do here: https://varia.zone/en/

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber @KimPerales I'll bet $100 the incidents would have happened even with sign off. No one wants to review slop.
@KimPerales@toad.social 
@deech @cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber not a matter of “if” it would happen in my mind, but when.
Human review is a limited control gap in the system of pushing changes to a production system and has limited utility in preventing errors.
Most empirical studies I’ve read seem to agree that human code review has a marginal effect on error rates that disappears of the reviewer had read a couple hundred SLOC in the last hour.
CEOs aren’t engineers and most software developers aren’t either, IMO. Liability is very screwy in our industry.
Making developers sign off on changes they can’t even hope to vet is a disaster waiting to happen.

“Under “contributing factors” the note included “novel GenAI usage for which best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established.”
“Junior and mid-level engineers will now require more senior engineers to sign off any AI-assisted changes, Treadwell added.”
My one Tony Hoare (RIP) story:
We got him to keynote our conference one year. We snapped him up afterwards along with a couple of other speakers for dinner, as we usually did, hoping to partake of his wisdom in a more private setting, but Joe Armstrong (also RIP) sat down next to him and started conversing excitedly, and none of the rest of us got a word in edgewise for the rest of the evening.
I realise this was probably more of a Joe Armstrong story.
