December 6, 2025: Weekly Notes 2025/25

💻I migrates some more code to HTMX — really enjoying working with HTMX.
🔐I was curious if anyone is using Probably Approximately Correct Learning (PAC Learning,
PAC: Valiant84.pdf ) in cyber-security. Its not yet mainstream but some folks have been proposing it as an alternative to classical ϵδ
ϵδ-differential privacy
[2210.03458] PAC Privacy: Automatic Privacy Measurement and Control of Data Processing (summary in
Trip report: ‘CWI Lectures on Secure Computation’ (Amsterdam, NL) | Roseman Labs Tech Blog). I liked it! PAC gives you lower bounds for free so in many situation, you don’t have to assume or compute the worst-case scenario youself which are great for proving guarantees.
🦀 I also bookmarked 🦀 Patterns for Defensive Programming in Rust | corrode Rust Consulting
📝Found a another good piece by No access E.W.Dijkstra Archive: The undeserved status of the pigeon-hole principle (EWD 1094)
📕Beej has a new book Beej’s Guide to Learning Computer Science
