It is a Roman dodecahedron, several of which have been found in Europe. The purpose of it is unknown, though there are many theories.

Counter-Strike 2 players warned not to play CS2 as huge exploit could leak your IP
The headline is about exposing your IP, which frankly isn't that big of a deal. The actual article says it exposed your IP, and then includes arbitrary code execution as the after thought... Clearly the code execution is the massive vulnerability here lol

Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI

Probably just lying to their boss. I have an AI obsessed boss and regularly lie about how much I use it because productivity is actually measured entirely by their perception of you and not by any real metric.

CRA says it's owed $10 billion in COVID-related benefits sent to ineligible recipients
At the time, the messaging was very clear that receiving the benefit did not mean you were eligible, since it was more important to get the money in peoples' hands quickly. I honestly don't have a lot of sympathy for ineligible people who now have to pay it back

What could I have done to prevent myself from being fired?
You should've communicated to them that your housing situation is unstable and wouldn't have access to internet for a week. From their perspective you were just being unreliable and sketchy.
Also, most cities have coworking spaces, which should be your first choice over library/cafe/college for a full work day.

As a developer, Safari is the browser that supports the least standards and is holding the browser ecosystem back.

Pierre Poilievre wins leadership review with 87.4% approval
Reply in thread
It's really not surprising, it's hand selected delegates travelling to Calgary in winter... Anything less than 80% would have been shockingly catastrophic for him.
Honestly though, holding onto leadership is good, because he's lowered their ceiling of support so incredibly low. Yes his support base is large but he basically has no chance of getting the Conservatives a majority.

Canadian Bill S-209 to implement age verification federally has advanced forward.
Age verification would be fine if it was an OAuth type thing - I sign in with the government on the government's website, they report back that I have the 18+ grant. I don't know why they're going in this direction of just requiring that private companies collect a bunch of personal information to "verify" me

It's weird because there's lots of studies showing that tracking users' interests isn't even that much more effective than targeting based on the page content.

What’s blocking students from building real-world projects in college?
Students generally don't have real-world problems that need solving. I think pretending they do makes a lot of assumptions about their life, hobbies, free time...
It's much much much more important to have a co-op program. Everything practical I learned in university was through my co-op work terms.
I am responsible for hiring some devs right now, and there's been a wide spectrum of competence from people who have "real projects". Especially with how prevalent AI is, people can literally just talk to an AI agent and get some kind of app/website spun up with 0 skill and effort. What I am always looking for is people who can work on a team in an existing codebase.
