It seems to me that pinning to a sha was not sufficient; the Renovate bot was updating actions referenced by sha. Example: https://github.com/chains-project/maven-lockfile/pull/1111/f... This appears to

Nit: the host is not picked at random, but according to the RFC3484 algorithm. Since people typically don’t believe me about this, here it is from someone who has done a lot of networking programming: https://daniel.haxx.se/

Take a step back. You wrote: repeated int64 values I’m saying that in most cases there will only be one value, hence ‘repeated’ is unnecessary. I didn’t say anything about aggregation, but yes one counts things going at a thousan

Whilst gRPC is nearly always used together with protobuf, I think it’s important to note they are different projects. gRPC is a CNCF project with open governance. gRPC people show up at industry conferences like KubeCon and run their own c

See ‘viewcore’. (It may not work against the latest Go version, but in principle it shows roots, live objects, etc.) https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/golang/debug/cmd/viewcore

> CSFB was always a big MS shop Hey, it's not massively relevant to your story, but this cracked a smile for me. CSFB was a big Sun shop, up to and past the time they mounted a "SunSet" initiative around 1998. Scott McNeal

I’ve had my account on CIX since 1990. It’s a social network; I get to see people arguing, and occasionally helping each other. For a while, pre dial-up Internet, it was my gateway to Usenet. https://cix.uk/contact/abou
