Apparently the guy isn't even just a former admin, he actually seems to be a pivotal person around the whole formation of the RubyGems ecosystem, which is even weirder. This isn't some random consultant who happened upon an admin

I think the point being that whatever was going on with access controls here was blatant gross negligence, because what is this guy doing with access who doesn't literally own the organization or the intellectual property? Set that asi

This is absolutely unacceptable when per employee healthcare employer costs are basically now something like, I don't know, 20,000-25,000 USD?

Ethical and legal boundaries? RubyGems Privacy Notice already tells you that they share information with a number of large firms and notably ClickHouse... for "Customer Data Processing." All this proposal does is request from one

Je n'ai jamais vu un jeu de mots comme celui-ci où « i » a été remplacé par un « j » pour créer l'expression « vieux jeux ». C'est créatif.

We build large apps at my company without this and it reduces our dependency management overhead. Most software doesn't require large teams, ones with large enough structure to utilize cross-functional teams are siloed enough that it a

Most of that latency is coming from back ends across most major sites, anyway, so it's the wrong place to test. As an addition to the general commentary here, "The Toilet Paper" is an unfortunate choice of label for this arti

I'm no longer a fan of using any front-end libraries at all en lieu of just using standard event listeners and web components, but in their defense, by the time that you're creating or updating that many elements, most developers

I don't understand how you can "ban" anyone from distributed social media. The idea seems... outdated? I mean, I get "ignoring" someone so they don't show up when you log into whatever instance you're in,

Which is funny because everyone and their mother in software development is eager to show off something that has existed since the '70s. The phenomenon is so common in tech--something I, too, have experienced despite computer science h

What quality control? Are we talking about the same App Store where copyright infringement is blatantly on display? What a joke. I guess it doesn’t matter if its customers are equally as clueless.

Bullshit. Practically an AI slop article itself. The rest of us actually building products know reality is different because we’re intimately familiar with our competitors and their limitations. Copying and playing catch up was possible bef

Do you really think that most users enable such a feature? Do you think everyone compiles their own Linux kernel, and port forwards for their own Minecraft server, too? No, it’s a feature tucked away in Settings where small, small percentag
