Royal Hansen reposted thisRoyal Hansen reposted thisVery excited to see my article on Safe Coding in print in the current issue of CACM. Since every LinkedIn post these days seemingly has to have an AI angle, here's mine: Safe Coding and its underlying software design patterns are designed to prevent subtle coding mistakes that lead to common kinds of defects, especially security related ones. These patterns were originally developed when code was written, and the occasional mistake made, by human developers. However, they work just as well when code is written by AI, and might become even more important: When AI writes code at a rate that far outpaces human experts' capacity to review and deeply understand it, we need scalable ways of ensuring critical correctness and security invariants (such as memory safety) that *don't* rely on human line-by-line review of the entire codebase. That's exactly what Safe Coding is designed to provide. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ghBRi_8H

Royal Hansen reposted thisIt’s finally here: Google account usernames are now changeable for US users. While it sounds like a simple toggle, the "under the hood" engineering required to make this work across the entire Google ecosystem (and the rest of the internet!) is staggering. A massive shoutout to the team for tackling this mountain of technical debt to deliver one of our most-requested features. You can now move on from that hoobastank4lyfe@ address that sounded so cool in 2004.

Here’s what to know: 1️⃣ You can choose any available @gmail.com username. 2️⃣ Your old username will become an alias, so you won’t lose access to it. You can still sign in and send and receive emails with both usernames. Plus, you can also revert to your old username. 3️⃣ You can choose a new username once a year — up to three times total.

Royal Hansen reposted thisRoyal Hansen reposted thisThe most interesting thing in tech: Google has moved up the day in which it thinks that quantum computers might be able to crack most of the encryption we currently use, from 2031 to 2029. Here's how it works; here's what caused the change; and here's what you need to do.

Christa Hagearty It's a great point ... and something our son is better at as he gets older but 15 year olds still struggle with those tradeoffs.
