The delay in releasing CP/M-86, the 16-bit version of CP/M, was a significant factor in its downfall. While the delay was partly due to the success of CP/M 2.2, which required extensive support for OEMs, the primary reason was the time-consuming development of a new PL/I compiler. This diversion from CP/M development ultimately led to IBM choosing MS-DOS for their PC.

Microsoft’s SoftCard, a hardware card that enabled the Apple II to run CP/M, became a major success and the most popular platform for CP/M. This success, however, strained DRI’s resources, delaying CP/M-86 and leading to the development of 86-DOS by SCP, which Microsoft later acquired and rebranded as MS-DOS. Despite initial success, CP/M-86 struggled against MS-DOS, ultimately leading to DRI’s decline and acquisition by Novell in 1991.

GrabScanGo, in partnership with Storm Interface and Vispero, has launched an accessible self-checkout experience for visually impaired shoppers.

The text discusses the importance of compilers in software development, highlighting their role in translating source code into machine code. It compares the compilers of different programming languages, such as Rust and Java, emphasizing their unique features and functionalities. The text also touches upon the concept of self-hosting compilers and the bootstrapping process.

The text explores the role of compilers and type systems in programming languages, particularly focusing on TypeScript. It highlights the benefits of gradual typing and structural typing for dynamically typed languages like JavaScript. The author argues that developers often “lie” to compilers by not providing accurate information about nullability, exceptions, and type casting, limiting the compiler’s usefulness.

The text emphasizes the importance of communicating effectively with the compiler to improve code safety and maintainability. It highlights common practices like using null, exceptions, casting, and side-effects, which can mislead the compiler and hinder its usefulness. By adopting alternative approaches like using Option types for nullable values, Result types for exceptions, and sealed types for casting, developers can make their intentions clearer to the compiler. Additionally, separating pure computation from side-effects and using typed wrappers for concepts can further enhance the compiler’s ability to assist in code development.

The text emphasizes the importance of using union types and other sophisticated types to express invariants and guarantees in code. By modelling alternative states and encoding constraints as types, the compiler can enforce these rules, reducing the need for defensive programming and improving code reliability. This approach, exemplified by the Google Cloud outage incident, helps developers avoid null pointer exceptions and other runtime errors by making illegal states unrepresentable.

MongoBleed (CVE-2025-14847) is a critical vulnerability in MongoDB’s zlib1 message compression path, affecting versions since 2017. It allows attackers to read uninitialized heap memory, potentially exposing sensitive data like passwords and API keys. The exploit involves sending a false uncompressed size, causing the server to allocate excessive memory, and then exploiting BSON parsing to leak data.

A vulnerability in MongoDB’s zlib network compression allows attackers to read arbitrary heap data, including sensitive information, from publicly accessible databases. The vulnerability, present since 2017, was patched in December 2025 but not publicly disclosed until December 24th. While MongoDB claims no evidence of exploitation, the simplicity of the exploit and the number of exposed databases suggest otherwise.

Online comments suggest that exposing a database to the public warrants consequences.

Blind Access Journal, led by Darrell Hilliker, NU7I, is launching a community initiative to improve the accessibility of WSJT-X for blind, low-vision, and mobility-impaired Amateur Radio operators. The project aims to enhance keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, and visual accommodations, with a focus on making the Band Activity and Rx Frequency tables accessible. Experienced Amateur Radio software developers are invited to volunteer and collaborate on this initiative.

Self-hosting a database, particularly Postgres, is often more cost-effective and offers similar reliability to managed services like AWS RDS. While managed services handle operational tasks, self-hosting provides more control and cost savings, especially for those with high-traffic applications. The author argues that the pendulum has swung too far towards managed services and encourages teams to consider self-hosting for their databases.

Many accessibility hacks, like electric toothbrushes and Aga cookers, were originally designed for people with disabilities but are now widely used. These innovations, along with features like tactile packaging and smart glasses, benefit everyone by improving efficiency and convenience. The author, a blind person, highlights how these tools enhance their daily life and emphasizes the need for a more inclusive perspective on accessibility.

Google TalkBack version 16.2 introduces several new features, including text formatting reporting, a double-tap gesture for voice dictation with Gboard, and Browse Mode for quick web page navigation. The Enhanced keymap is required for Browse Mode and offers customizable shortcuts. Additional features include gesture assignments for date, time, and battery percentage, split tap to activate focused items, and an option to announce keyboard keys faster.

The author explores the characteristics that make accessibility overlays problematic, focusing on toolbars, automated accessibility fixes, and unethical marketing. The author argues that toolbars should not imply support for specific disabilities, automated fixes should be purpose-built and not generalized, and marketing should not mislead users about compliance. The author uses their own WP Accessibility plugin and Elementor’s A11y plugin as examples to illustrate these points.

Accessibility is not a purely technical problem that can be solved with code. It is about people and their varying needs, contexts, and expectations. While claiming something is “accessible” is not inherently bad, it is more honest to explain the specific accessibility features it offers.

Kohler’s Dekoda smart camera, which analyzes toilet bowl images for gut health advice, uses TLS encryption for data in transit, not end-to-end encryption as the company claims. This distinction is important for user privacy, as it implies Kohler can access the images. Kohler states that user data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and that algorithms are trained on de-identified data.
