I am not surprised. First, it's a subtle bug. Second, in C/C++. a lot of times you get unlucky when reading uninitialized memory. Basically, the bug does not occur when you test the code on your machine or when you run the auto

Why? C# has added a lot of good features over the years including lamda functions, generics, private functions, string interpolation, LINQ, etc.

Create React App should not be used because it is no longer maintained. Here is its GitHub repro: https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/commits/main/ . It has had very few updates since July 202

React has very good documentation and an excellent tutorial. Here is a link to it: https://react.dev/learn . I recommend doing the exercises. They really help you learn React.

If it's a fine, it probably goes to the United States Treasury or the SEC's budget. I also wouldn't be surprised if the settlement was not fully paid.

If a browser does not support modern TLS (SSL), it probably also has unpatched security flaws. Unpatched browsers should never be used on the Internet because they will get hacked.

Perhaps you should either file a bug with NetNewsWire, or debug NetNewsWire and submit a PR so it works with her blog.

Ad-based businesses exist because a lot of people (including many on this forum) refuse to pay for anything. During the late 1990s/early 2000s, people hated paying for anything and demanded that everything on the Internet should be fr

Substack's UI is fairly minimal and does not appear to have many anti-patterns. My only complaint is that it is not easy to see just the people I am subscribed to.

In the United States, Gun sales are heavily regulated and require background checks. Manufacturers and stores cannot just sell a gun to anyone.

Agreed - If you got a Computer Science degree from an engineering school, you probably had to take Linear Algebra as one of your required classes. Also, Linear Algebra is not that hard to learn.

I did this with a Samsung TV I got recently. I works great. I am really not sure why everyone is upset. If you don't want to use the smart features, you don't have to. All you have to do is not connect the smart TV to the Inte

What makes Carta different? Why is offboarding more complex?

by StressedDev 2y ago
No one is overthinking anything. Carta's behavior is poor, self-serving, and definitely using a dark pattern. If they cannot promptly schedule a meeting, they should wave the meeting requirement. Here are some other thoughts: 1) Canc

The pre-college US education is not excellent. I know because I went to a US public high school. Here are some of my observations: 1. The standards are low. Here are some examples: - My high school calculus class went at half the speed o

Not in large corporations. Typically, this is what happens for full time employees: 1. The manager decides the employee should go. 2. The manager reaches out to the Human Resources department. They explain what the manager has to do to en

OK, this is bullshit. I have worked for a lot of managers and frankly, almost all of them worked hard and tried to do the right thing. Managers are people too and we need them because they ensure that the right work is done, and that the

The OP can report the security problem by going to https://www.alaskaair.com/content/about-us/site-info/report-... . I think this is probably the best way to get Alaska Airlines to fix the problem.

by StressedDev 2y ago
How do you know they are unwilling to fix this? My guess is it has not been fixed because the people who can fix the bug do not know it exists.
52.
by StressedDev 2y ago
I don't think this is fair. My guess is the person who found the bug did not report it to a person who knew how to handle a security bug report. My guess is the technical people at Alaska will fix the bug once they know it exists.

I am not a lawyer but this line of thinking does not make sense to me. First, poster did not post any personal information. Second, the poster responsibly disclosed the bug to Alaska Airlines but Alaska did not fix it. The poster is now

You will find work. One thing to keep in mind is the job market goes in cycles. Right now, finding work is hard but things will eventually pick up. Here is some advice for job hunting: 1) DO NOT GIVE UP 2) You don't need every skill

Some people don't mind living paycheck to paycheck. It has a downside but if it works for someone, I don't think judging it really helps.

This is a good example of why entrepreneurs, founders, and investors should make a lot of money. Frequently, they fail, or go for years making very little. Starting a successful business is incredibly hard and I wish shilin (the person wh

Software engineers are notorious for not wanting to support legacy devices and software. You see this all of the time on Hacker News. If you want more venders to support older devices, you need to change the culture. You also need to ack
