Has anyone else been rate limited for all of stackoverflow.com after seeing the filters? I assume that's not part of the joke

Recently I've noticed that the GitHub and Stack Overflow scraper clones will often be the only result for this kind of query. It looks like the blackhats have found a way to rank higher then the content they're cloning. I suspect

Probably? The author limited their audit to the top 1,000 packages + dependencies. I would not be surprised if both of the following things are true: 1) a lot of damage can still be done outside of that scope; 2) there are domains that NPM&

I don't like GitHub's security screener dismissing this report because of the "social engineering" aspect. There is a real problem here; it's easy to imagine this disclosure leading to another major OSS supply chain

Congrats! It's impressive to go from learning to code, to shipping a product with this level of polish, in less than two years. I tried to build essentially the same thing on top of Matrix (and got rejected from YC in the process) - I

Better yet, hire developers who enjoy and excel at selecting and utilizing emerging technologies that will be a better long-term fit for the problem at hand. This is of course more difficult, but makes for a better team and product. I want

I've been noticing something similar happening with GitHub issue threads. Spam sites like githubmemory.com are frequently ranking higher than GitHub itself, and sometimes GitHub doesn't even show up at all, even with a specific se

No, you can't do that. Once you've been a member of an iMessage group, iOS will not allow participants who have iMessage enabled to switch to MMS with that same group of users, even if everyone deletes and re-creates the thread.

This only works for 1:1 conversations. If you were in any iMessage groups and then deregister, iOS will silently drop you from future messages, and it isn't possible for the same group composition to be re-established over MMS.

Your analogy doesn't really carry over. If McDonalds or Chipotle were called "Food" then imo it would be a dick move to sue a smaller restaurant chain named GregFood. (As to whether they would prevail, I have no idea.)

It could be interesting to bootstrap a PoS network using the wallet keys for all existing public blockchains, by allowing users to initialize their PoS wallet with the fiat value of their PoW keys held at some agreed moment in time. I toyed

Ethics of the research aside, it has succeeded in showing that it is far too easy to sneak malicious code into the kernel. It sucks that the maintainers have to play cleanup, but at least it will hopefully lead to a positive outcome.
