Sweet Jeebus, MacOS 27 Golden Gate Removes the Dumb Icons From Menu Items

You will recall Jim Nielsen writing about it, rightly describing it as exactly the sort of thing that Mac users look down upon in platforms like Google Docs and Windows. You will also recall Nikita “Tonsky” Prokopov writing about it, illustrating that the bad idea wasn’t even implemented well, with different Apple apps using…

Validation, OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, BDD tests, Gherkin, and database schemas — all generated from the same source of truth. Triad is a TypeScript-first API framework built on the idea that an API's specification, implementation, validation, and tests should never drift apart, because they are the same thing. You write TypeScript once using Triad's declarative DSL, and you get: Runtime validation at the edges (parse + reject with structured errors) Static types derived from the same schemas (t.infer) OpenAPI 3.1 documentation for HTTP endpoints…

Are insecure code completions a vulnerability? — Seth Larson

✨ Read this insightful post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: Three months ago I saw that PyCharm shipped with a “Full Line Completion” plugin that “uses a local deep learning model to suggest entire lines of code”. These suggestions manifest as whole-line suggestions after you start typing and can be accepted with Tab. Essentially auto-complete for entire lines. I decide to test this functionality. I started by writing import urllib3, created a new line, and then typed u and received a suggested completion for the line marked below with a dashed border. I was not…

AI agent runs amok in Fedora and elsewhere [LWN.net]

🔥 Read this insightful post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: 📌 **What You’ll Learn**: By Joe BrockmeierJune 10, 2026 Agentic AI systems can be used to do a variety of things autonomously on behalf of a human user: open or manage bugs, generate code, submit pull-requests, and (apparently) even complain about rejection. In May, a Fedora developer discovered that an allegedly rogue agent had been pestering the project in a number of ways: reassigning bugs, fabricating unhelpful replies to bugs, and even persuading maintainers to merge questionable code into the Anaconda installer. It also submitted a number of pull…

🚀 Check out this trending post from Hacker News đź“– đź“‚ **Category**: đź’ˇ **What You’ll Learn**: IntroductionThe AF_UNIX garbage collector is an interesting piece of the kernel. It exists because sockets can be sent with SCM_RIGHTS but they can become unreachable from user-space while still being kept alive by the kernel, which is not memory efficient; in this situation, the garbage collector intervenes to free them. Not long ago, the subsystem was rewritten from scratch on top of a graph/Strongly-Connected-Components model; but it is still bug prone. This post walks the rewrite end-to-end, and discusses a Use-After-Free bug.AF_UNIX Garbage Collector…
