One thing in particular strikes me - the "Y" at the bottom-left. It put two of the traces at 45-degree offsets to slightly shorten the length of the trace feeding them and the overall trace length on the board.

It really doesn't just optimize for vias.

Honestly, I'm pretty damn impressed with how Freerouting autorouted these new boards

Decided to go in a bit of a different direction

Omg the hardware actually all worked on the first try

Fixed my measurement issue

Everything else seems to fit. Once connectors arrive tomorrow I should have a prototype to play with

I knew I forgot to measure something!

Oh snap, a new RISC-V board and MCU

prototype boards are here

What are the benefits of more expensive 3D printers versus something like my inexpensive Ender 3?

I ordered a cheap batch of PCBs from PCBWay in China on Friday. They'll be at my door on Tuesday. Incredible.

Researchers asked 43 freelance developers to code the user registration for a web app and assessed how they implemented password storage. 26 devs initially chose to leave passwords as plaintext.

Those devs were then asked to rewrite their code to 'store passwords securely.' Overall here are the methods of password storage chosen by the developers:
10 - MD5
8 - Base64
7 - Bcrypt
5 - SHA-256
5 - PBKDF2
3 - AES
3 - 3DES
1 - SHA-1
1 - HMAC/SHA1

Describe in single words only the good things that come into your mind about your lexer.

Finally ordered some prototypes - a drop-in replacement for 256Kb ROMs in various devices (for starters, 80s Casio keyboards) that will programmatically corrupt the firmware to varying degrees in reproducible ways.

Almost finished with these Casio SK-1 drop-in "brains"

At any org, your cyber, fraud, and risk teams should be working together and sharing info at a minimum. Different teams have different pieces of complex puzzles. One team, one fight.
