Did you happen to stop at the gas station that same day? What does “that very transaction caused a fraud alert” mean? It’s not unusual for multiple transactions to be marked as fraud, even legitimate ones, when a credit card is stolen.

This article explains, poorly, _what_ public key cryptography is but not _how_ public key cryptography really works, at all. Saying that Natasha and Boris both choose a prime number and then "create a safe" with it, is the same as

> It asks you for a URL but you can put anything in. Well, that’s kind of the problem isn’t it? Yes, you can put bogus URLs, but it’s far from a great user experience

That title is also completely misleading because the author did not in fact get paid. 50k corresponds to the money they made with unrelated bug bounties. I wish they would fix the title so that it properly calls out zendesk refused to pay f

As a big advocate of Asciidoc myself, I have to say this sounds backwards to me too. I can't imagine someone calling themselves a developer finding writing asciidoc difficult. It isn't any harder than markdown. It only has a sligh

Totally agree. Though, usually these programmers know how to properly ask a question, make a bug report and/or feature request. They wouldn't, for example, just barge in an oss project with arguably low value statements like &quot

Talking about helm - I personally have come to profoundly loathe it. It was amazing when it came out and filled a much needed gap. However it is loaded with so many footguns that I spend my time redoing and debugging others engineers work.

I worked many years with an open source eCommerce platform called Magento[0] which, at the time, used something called the "Entity Attribute Value" (or EAV) system[1]. One particularity of the EAV system is that you end up having

Distributing $10 gift cards is so obviously wrong I can't even comprehend how it was approved. I wonder how much money in total they represent, and if CrowdStrike would have come out better saying "We've immediately allocated

Merely arguing about your _definition_ of 10x engineer and 1x engineer. Your original comment at the top of the thread implies the engineer who wrote the blog post is a 1x engineer because they spent so much time finding and fixing this bug

I wasn’t originally going to comment, but seeing the only comment so far is exactly how I felt after reading this, I had to. This post felt like a whole bunch of words making sentences with no meaning.

It's annoying that SSO is behind a paid offering, but it is mostly a convenience feature and you don't need it "for proper security"; so I can understand it being used as a way to monetize an open-source product.
