Wrote a long one today. Can you tell I tried very hard to be professional, despite circumstances?

"We are seven months into the new administration, and no CDC subject matter expert from my Center has ever briefed the Secretary. I am not sure who the Secretary is listening to, but it is quite certainly not to us."

A nice little release that brings some requested #SAML improvements. Review Board does NOT charge a SSO Tax, because security is too important for that. We've been a bit quiet lately as we've worked toward the next major Review Board release, which we're starting to wrap up now

A big thanks to @chirrapp for helping me write my COVID reports at @bc19live these past few years. It made posting long-form Twitter threads full of information simple, letting me focus first on the content and then on how to split it cleanly into posts. Highly recommend it.

If()-based conditional styling is coming to #CSS, but you can already do this today with CSS Variables. We use it to more easily support light mode, dark mode, high-contrast mode, and component states. Here's how it works. chipx86.blog/2025/08/08/wha…

We've long supported putting any kind of file in Review Board, and are working to greatly expand the types of files we can render and diff for you — including in the diff viewer! Support for reviewing Office documents natively is coming very soon.

With #GitHub moving into Microsoft's CoreAI division, are you sticking around or planning a move? Most all-in-one products don't focus on code review like we do. If you're planning a move, plan to give Review Board a try. geekwire.com/2025/github-wi…

#TIL that #vim has a built-in debugger, where you can set breakpoints, get backtraces, and more for your vim configuration and plugins. Using this to figure out why a random plain Python string in a file I'm not even opening is breaking my tabstop width.

I need to figure out the elliptical curve points on a series of ephemeral ECDSA private keys I used in unit test data so I don't have to regenerate the payloads. Anyone have a 5000-qubit quantum computer I can borrow?
