Why Writing Correct Software Is Hard
I was very happy to speak at Curry On once again. Last year, following our work with Quasar, I spoke on continuations vs. monads. This year I gave a talk about computational complexity results in software verification, a subject I became interested in while formally specifying and verifying our upcoming revamped version of Galaxy. What follows is an extended version of the talk (embedded above), containing some additional proofs and results I didn’t have time to cover, complete with footnotes,…

In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming languages community: is it possible to smear paint on the wall without creating valid Perl?
We answer this question in the affirmative: it is possible to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% o…

Critical RCE Vulnerability in Apache HTTP Server
A critical synchronization vulnerability (CVE-2026-119618) has been identified in Apache HTTP Server’s HTTP/2 module (mod_http2). The flaw stems from a concurrent execution race condition within the assign_headers() function when handling shared resources. If successfully exploited, a remote, unauthenticated attacker can corrupt heap memory to achieve arbitrary code execution (RCE).
As of the time of this blog’s publication, no exploit is available and there are no reports of exploitation in th…

Making a €40 USB-C hub work as a Nintendo Switch 2 dock
I like to travel with my Nintendo Switch 2. Every time I pack it up, I run into the same problem: the official dock is bulky and feels fragile. Therefore I never travel with it. It bothers me, because the dock uses USB-C DisplayPort Alt mode, and I already have a USB-C hub that supports it and works perfectly fine with all my other devices. Unfortunately, Nintendo went in a proprietary direction (as they so often do), so a regular generic hub will not work as a dock.

Trump helped Russia double diesel exports, but US received not a single shipment – FT
Russia more than doubled its diesel exports following the easing of US sanctions and a pause in Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries in October, yet not a single cargo of fuel under Trump's agreement with Putin has reached the United States so far.
Details: Data and analytics platform Kpler reported that in October Russia exported 271,000 barrels of diesel per day compared to 135,000 in September. Deliveries increased to Brazil, Türkiye and other countries.

A Causal Anti-Calculus Memory-Kernel Model for Viscoelastic NonNewtonian Turbulence
Non-Newtonian turbulence in polymeric and viscoelastic liquids involves an interaction between the velocity field, constitutive memory, elastic energy storage, dissipation, and multi-scale transfer. This manuscript develops a causal Anti-Calculus-inspired constitutive extension (AC-NNNS) and tests its principal mechanisms and an exploratory relaxation/crossover scaling against external experimental literature. The mathematical starting point is the supplied Anti-Calculus framework, which defines…

Sleeping in a warmer bedroom during the summer is associated with poorer sleep quality and feeling less focused and productive the next day, according to new research.
Perceived productivity refers to how focused and capable of completing tasks a person feels during daily activities. The authors draw on models of work recovery, which propose that people need adequate rest to replenish the attention and self-control they use up during the day. They reasoned that if warm bedrooms degrade sleep quality, meaning how continuous, deep, and restorative a night’s sleep is, people may start the morning with fewer mental resources.

Even experienced researchers often misunderstand basic statistics. A review of 55 studies with over 15,000 people, including health professionals and statistics teachers, found many wrongly treat "statistically significant" as proof a result is true or important, and misread what a p-value means.
