I've been a big Prisma fan for years. Prisma Next looks like a genuine step up. And to have @cipherstash directly integrated is *Next* level.

CipherStash + Prisma Next integration just shipped 🚀

Add cipherstash.EncryptedString() to your contract for searchable encryption.

Encrypted data stays queryable, your rules live in the contract & plaintext only appears when you explicitly decrypt it.

In the long run I think software gets more secure out of necessity, but the in between is a scary time period where everyone is just CONSTANTLY getting hacked

I tried to make sense of the backdoor mechanism this time and summarized it in a one-page overview. 😵‍💫

There's obviously more technical detail to uncover, but you'll get a general understanding of the complexity and the stealthy mechanisms used to remain undetected. 🧐

Thanks to @AndresFreundTec for his insight into this and a shoutout to these researchers if you want to learn more about the backdoor 🙏👇

@rayn_ong Patent if the strategy is to be acquired for a big sum. Plenty have done it but revenue preferred in almost all cases!

@phoozle If I was Microsoft I’d have just made a special edition of Postgres with hooks into AD. Still could have charged a bunch for support and add ons. 🤷

[Dan Draper @danieldraper]

Trying to do some tricky stuff in SQL server so I asked ChatGPT. It recommended that I use PostgreSQL. Can't say I disagree!

@cleoabram Fantastic! Very well deserved.

@annie_parker Unrelated: I love it when people of my generation use words like “yeet”. Like, where did you learn this? 🤣

[Dan Draper @danieldraper]

@daboigbae QBASIC isn’t on the list…so next was C!

Apparently I'm moving back to Sydney (finally). And officially house hunting

Since this has worked insanely well before, Twitter friends, if you know of anyone looking for a roomie please let your girl know!

Ugh. Sick. Whyyyyyyy

[Maggie Johnson-Pint @maggiepint]

This is weird to say out loud, but I actually am kinda an expert in rate limiting, so I'm gonna explain some stuff.

About half of incidents in large-scale production systems involve having more requests than you can serve. There are two categories of this kind of incident:

@jaydrogers The only time I notice the difference between my M1 Air and my Max Studio is when I’m compiling Postgres…which I do often 🤣

[Dan Draper @danieldraper]

9x out of 10, CopilotX is bang-on! The other time I'm like wuuuut. So basically the same as the typical engineer 🤣
