Remember, the helpful anarchist who offers you explosives cryptography is probably a Fed.
It gets better though, if you go to the site where they were running the operation; in addition to the standardized takedown notice and logos, they've got a contact us form:
To determine if your account is associated with an ongoing investigation, please enter any device details below:
The only thing that would make me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 even harder is if, a few months from now we learn that some idiot who wasn't IDed when they did the takedown used the form and pwnd himself.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I'd wager that "some idiot" will become "some idiots" by then.

While it isn't quite the full-fledged Xcode on iPad that some developers have been clamoring for, Apple on Monday announced that Swift Playgrounds in iPadOS 15 will be greatly enhanced, teaching users how to build iPad apps and even allowing them to be submitted to the App Store. Now I can use that great iPad virtual keyboard to dev with!

Clever code can exploit knowledge about the operating environment or special topics like bit twiddling. Conventional wisdom says this clever code is “bad”. I've never had to choose

def is_unique(l):
return len(set(l)) == len(l) This may be insightful, but their naming scheme is just bad. 1 == l ? Depends on the font...

Ehhh, it looks as good as it performs.
Barring a really clever optimization at the compiler/runtime level, it has to iterate over the entire list to create the set, vs aborting as soon as the first duplicate is found.

Microsoft has closed a long-standing request to port Visual Studio Tools for Office (VSTO) to .NET Core, stating that it "will not be updating VSTO or the COM Add-in platform to use .NET Core." It's not like they're two products from the same company or anything
Still, handy excuse to keep around in case someone asks you to upgrade an old .NET Framework app - "Microsoft didn't bother, why should I?"
