In the late 1970s, a Princeton undergraduate named John Aristotle Phillips made headlines by designing an atomic bomb using only publicly available sources for his junior year research project.

The physicist Freeman Dyson agreed to be his adviser while explicitly stipulating that he would not provide classified information. P
Having $1 billion isn’t enough these days. To be seen among the richest of the rich, you now need your own private sanctuary.
For some, that means a sprawling compound. Increasingly, though, members of tech’s 1% are incorporating their own towns, giving them the power to set rules, issue building permits, and even influence education. Some of these modern-day land grabs are already functioning; others are still in the works.
Either way, the billionaire class is busy creat

I wanted a safer alternative to RegExp for TypeScript that uses a linear-time engine, so I built Regolith.
Why: Many CVEs happen because TypeScript libraries are vulnerable to Regular Expression Denial of Service attacks. I learned about this problem while doing undergraduate research and found that languages like Rust have built-in protection but languages like JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python do not. This library attempts to mitigate these vulnerabilities for TypeScript and JavaScript.
