I break things on the internet.

If you want to try Advent of Code in OCaml (or ReasonML!) my friend and coworker, @Sixstring982, created an amazing getting started repo 🔥

It includes a CLI to ✨automatically✨download input, test your solutions, and submit your answers!

Find it here https://t.co/o9zAbz1c8E

@atdiy @hamclock Bit of a last minute call on my part but we will be there. Looking forward to seeing everyone. Also gonna be on the look out for a digital badge for sale.

I adapted some rules from a cocktail book I was reading this weekend to be about software engineering. https://t.co/fdQmzRG8k7

@dysinger There is also opam lock files, the docs are a bit rough around them but they work.

Dear @NETGEAR, Putting the private key for a CA blessed certificate in firmware is a bad idea. @nstarke and I found a couple a couple terrible things. https://t.co/swndpwGctj

🌠My @elastic coworker and sans-twitter OCaml mage hcarty has opened a couple of our internal OCaml libraries for using mariadb and building restful services: https://t.co/EUCrv3Qi7w https://t.co/wBVQxaS5mr #ocaml #fp 🐫

We are observing ~50 non-benign devices opportunistically crawling the Internet for or exploiting Citrix CVE-2019-19781

I'm hiring a security research engineer: we track adversaries, research emerging threats, give back to the community, and provide detection logic for @elastic products.

The context: why am I spending so much time writing about _one_ study (https://t.co/PCLOUE3Fru) on programming languages? My first thoughts took a day to write (https://t.co/rUz4cagwT8) and my second draft is over 4,000 words long. Why do I care when the answer is so obvious?

[𝙲𝚑𝚊𝚛𝚕𝚎𝚜 𝙲. 𝙼𝚊𝚗𝚗 @CharlesCMann]

Activists often wonder why the public hasn't reacted more strongly to the issue. Favored targets of blame include tribal loyalties, corporate greed, conservative pols’ mendacity, Fox. All play a role, but I think underneath is what I think of as the Obama House Syndrome. 1/11

[Andrew Morris (afk) @Andrew___Morris]

Wew okay, so there's some REALLY bizarre internet-wide scan traffic happening right now in @GreyNoiseIO . it started two/three hours ago, quieted down for a few minutes, then just started up again. I'm going to do my best to stream of conscious what's going on while we dig in:

[Andrew Morris (afk) @Andrew___Morris]

Well, GreyNoise just broke one million IPs blasting the Internet with this traffic in one day. That's like..... 300% higher than our previous record of total IPs in a 24 hour period.

@dysinger This would be very cool, I use the ocaml ones all the time for projects. It’s excellent for discovery of what a library or module can do.

[Aidan W Steele @__steele]

Here's a pair of annoying histograms. It's the delay in delivering VPC flow logs to an S3 bucket as measured by (S3 timestamp) - (timestamp in key).

The x axis is seconds delay, y axis is number of objects in that bucket. First diagram is everything, second is zoomed in.

[Ben Ustick @BenUstick]

For months now, letters having been popping up on my walk. I’ve been making this walk for two+ years and I swear that I had never noticed these letters. But every time I opened my eyes and looked down some unexpected alley there was another one. Cue serious Beautiful Mind vibes.

My son Sean has had 10+ seizures in the past couple of weeks. We're struggling to get to a good dosage of meds. I'm so angry & so sad. I'm supposed to be his protector...

If anyone with cerebral palsy & epilepsy sees this tweet please let me know what's working for you.

RT plz

Spent the day at @promptconf. It was a wonderful way to spend a rainy day, excellent speakers & talks, people were very friendly, and some excellent food. Already looking forward to next year. Can’t recommend enough. #promptconf2019

@cillic Sometimes it’s a bad cable.

@patio11 There is an app called Alfred (https://t.co/FgxSXi7PJn) that does this exceptionally well for OS X. I’ve been a happy user for years, does everything I want well. You can run custom code based on commands and it’s easy to adjust.
