Yesterday, an old friend sent me an Instagram DM asking me for help for a contest. The "custom link" was a bit weird as it didn't have any path or URL params and when accessing I confirmed it was phishing as there was a fake Instagram login there.
Thread of how I hacked it👇

“If you’re serious about addressing vehicle congestion, we know for certain the only two things that do that is a combination of better infrastructure for alternatives — walking, biking, transit — combined with pricing mechanisms that affect the choice to drive,” Toderian said.
BREAKING: This outstanding & really important article is on the front page of its city newspaper right before a municipal election. It’s on Winnipeg, but it applies to MANY cities. Every city should have this. I’m interviewed, with @StrongTowns & others. winnipegfreepress.com/local/…

After using AWS for ~14 years, I've internalised a handful of design patterns that I try to apply to my own software. I'm keen to know if it's the same for other folks.
Roughly: tags, IDs (thrice), limits, pagination.

This day in 1954, Alan Turing took his life by his own hand, driven to death by society’s inability to accept a different form of sexuality.
He invented the modern computer.
Whatever device you are reading this on, came from his genius.

They found the cause of SIDS
THEY FOUND THE CAUSE OF SIDS
Excuse me while I cry for all the parents, including lead researcher Dr Carmel Harrington, who lived with guilt. And cry happy tears for parents in the future who will have access to screening and prevention. 😭
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
It is misleading to say that we have found the cause of SIDS; one study has identified an enzyme that might be a potential biomarker for SIDS vulnerability (correlation not causation). The correlation is statistically significant but relatively weak.

Hey crypto people – Russia and Belarus are going to be cut off from the global financial system and your ecosystem is going to be full of state-backed sanctions-busting activity.

Never thought I would be quoting the UN Security Council at a moment like this, with both Russia and United States still holding veto power. However Kenya’s Ambassador speech, standing in solidarity with Ukraine, needs to be heard. Diplomacy speaking loud.

This is a huge bug. On OSX, Safari users can (temporarily) switch to another browser to avoid their data leaking across origins. iOS users have no such choice, because Apple imposes a ban on other browser engines. safarileaks.com/
