Backdooring Your Backdoors - Another $20 Domain, More Governments
After the excitement of our .MOBI research, we were left twiddling our thumbs. As you may recall, in 2024, we demonstrated the impact of an unregistered domain when we subverted the TLS/SSL CA process for verifying domain ownership to give ourselves the ability to issue valid and trusted TLS/SSL certificates for any .MOBI domain.
This resulted in significant Internet-wide change, with Google petitioning the CAB Forum to wholly sunset the use of WHOIS for ownership validation when issuing CA-sig

The future of htmx
For developers who are not familiar with it, jQuery is a venerable JavaScript library that made writing cross-platform JavaScript a lot easier during a time when browser implementations were very inconsistent, and JavaScript didn’t have many of the convenient APIs and features that it does now.

Off the Beaten Path to Upgrade Symfony 2.8 to 7.2 | Tomas Votruba
There are two types of upgrades. One follows only `UPGRADE.md` files on every release, replacing what has been removed with new alternatives. It works, and we could say that the codebase will be "up-to-date."
The other upgrade doesn't stop at the required minimum but **makes use of all modern features the framework provides**. It will be faster, easier to understand, and easier to upgrade to the next version. I [wrote a post](/blog/two-kinds-of-legacy-code-upgrade) that explains why the latter is better.
There are no sources about Symfony upgrades spanning multiple major versions—time to fix that.

Functors to Monads: A Story of Shapes · in Code
For many years now I’ve been using a mental model and intuition that has guided me well for understanding and teaching and using functors, applicatives, monads, and other related Haskell abstractions, as well as for approaching learning new ones. Sometimes when teaching Haskell I talk about this concept and assume everyone already has heard it, but I realize that it’s something universal yet easy to miss depending on how you’re learning it. So, here it is: how I understand the Functor and other related abstractions and free constructions in Haskell. The crux is this: instead of thinking about what fmap changes, ask: what does fmap keep constant? This isn’t a rigorous understanding and isn’t going to explain every aspect about every Functor, and will probably only be useful if you already know a little bit about Functors in Haskell. But it’s a nice intuition trick that has yet to majorly mislead me.
