Denmark's AI Cheating Solution

Image
Denmark just flipped the script on AI-assisted cheating in high schools. Instead of playing an endless game of cat-and-mouse with students using ever-smarter tools, the government’s decided to make sure no one can fake it. Starting now, Danish students submitting written work have to defend it in person—verbally, live, without notes. It’s a clever workaround: even if an AI writes the paper, the kid better be able to explain it. The Ministry’s also pushing schools to roll out screen monitoring during exams, lock down classroom Wi-Fi with firewalls, and bring more work back on campus. The message is clear: if you’re going to cheat, you’ll have to do it the hard way. Students get a say in how this all shakes out. The Danish Association of Upper-Secondary Students wants them at the table as the rules evolve, arguing they should help shape policies that will follow them through their education. Smart move—the people closest to the problem usually have the best ideas about how to so...

Coding Is Hard

Image
Someone has been telling you that coding was never the hard part. That's a lie, and it's the kind of lie that erases the hours you've spent chasing a null pointer that only appears in production, or the race condition that vanishes the moment you add logging. I get the appeal of the claim: it makes AI's sudden competence at generating code feel like the whole problem is solved. But it also conveniently forgets that "just writing code" was never the job. We're in the middle of an upheaval. It's August 8, 2026, and nobody honestly knows how the AI revolution is going to end, except that programming as a profession is going to look different. If coding is so easy, though, then why were programmers in high demand and commanding large salaries for years, even before zero interest rates pumped money into every unprofitable startup? Why was burnout and overwork a running joke across the entire industry before Copilot could even complete a function? Th...

Quick Pasta Pomodoro

Pasta Pomodoro Prep: 15 mins | Cook: PT0S | Total: 50 mins | Serves: 4 serving(s) | Cuisine: Mediterranean Cuisine, Italian Cuisine, European Cuisine The humble Pasta Pomodoro - it's a dish that's often misunderstood as being too simple to impress, but , the beauty lies in its elegance. I used to think that a great Pasta Pomodoro required hours of simmering sauce, but it turns out that's just not the case. With just a few key ingredients like Kosher salt, extra-virgin olive oil, and of course, those gorgeous medium tomatoes, we can create a sauce that's both rich and light. The key is in the quick sauté of the chopped yellow onion and minced garlic, which brings out the natural sweetness in the tomatoes. As we cook up our Pasta Pomodoro, the aroma of freshly ground black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes will fill the air, teasing our taste buds and making our mouths wat...

DNS Domain Sale Indicators

Image
I've been covering the DNS space for years, and I've never seen a feature that's as straightforward - and potentially useful - as the new "for sale" indicator that's been added to DNS. Essentially, it allows domain owners to publicly signal that their domain is up for grabs, which could streamline the sales process and make it easier for buyers and sellers to connect. The way it works is simple: if a domain is genuinely for sale, the owner can indicate as much in the DNS, and then Com will advertise its availability to brokers and other interested parties without taking the site down or parking it. What's interesting about this feature is that it doesn't require any significant changes to the way domains are currently managed. Domain owners can just add a "for-sale" flag to their DNS records, and Com will take care of the rest. It's a small change, but it could have a big impact on the domain sales process, which is often slow and...
