Am I alone in thinking the IDE market is perhaps a bit over saturated?

Sorry, sweaty, but it's not a heat dome; it's just July.

Hahaha, wsj fashion advice for boomers is you can get your pants hemmed. Or just buy pants that fit. Society is truly upside down. Now it's the olds being told to buy pants that aren't so droopy. https://www.wsj.com/style/fashion/style-advice-for-men-every-generation-gen-z-to-boomers-9efb966d
New phenomenon dropped: lunar standstill. https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025/07/11/shorter-days-faster-earth-rotation/
The "furnished hard copy" was four hundred pages of cell diagrams, equations, genenome tables, and chemical processes, all with numerous journal citations. But in front was a one-page list somebody had prepared for the press. I would bet my purple jacks that its simplifications had been paid for in hours of screaming by technical experts who didn't want their precious facts distorted just so they could be understood. But here the simplified distortions were, ready for the newsgrids. Washington is Washington.
Programming in javascript is made considerably more difficult by the fact that the spelling doucment is apparently hard coded into my finger memory. I'm just gonna stick
let doucment = document
at the top of the file and be done with it.
There's an Einstein quote that begins "Concern for man himself" from a 1931 address at caltech, and I can find three or so variations on the wording, but not the actual speech even though I think it's likely he spoke more than 50 words.

lol, just figured out wikipedia table sort is numeric, but only up to the first comma. So 9 22,934 45 123 345,223,900 600,300 800 is sorted...
You're a fan of manly men? Name every movie that stars Ron Perlman, Ray Liotta, and Burt Reynolds.
Finally finished Exodus: Archimedes Engine. It's a bit like Schismatrix, but three times longer because it's crossed with GOT. It takes a while to get going, and even when it's moving, there's just so much. It ends at a satisfactory point, but "then the adventure continues". I liked it enough if you're looking for a long read.

Okay, this is an interesting one for TLS nerds out there: https://opossum-attack.com/
This is somewhat related to previous research where I was part of about STARTTLS. The idea here is to exploit the fact that the opportunistic and non-opportunistic TLS variants of protocols are sometimes different.
Their practical exploit targets opportunistic TLS for HTTP. This is, as far as I know, not used anywhere practically, but some servers support it. If yours does, better disable it.
It's nice to see that the FSF is coming around to the idea that autoconf and configure scripts are malware. Free software shouldn't waste my time performing thousands of useless calculations before I can use it. https://www.fsf.org/blogs/sysadmin/our-small-team-vs-millions-of-bots
