A random outsider couldn't do it obviously. But imagine if you had standing to sue, i.e. you signed up and paid for ZenDesk based on this advertising, and then later realized they were lying.

by howdydoo 5y ago
When a company lies in their advertising, typically you can take them to court and get relief. If a car dealer advertises "free floormat with purchase", and they don't give you a floormat, you sue them. If it makes it all the

I use youtube-dl to download Cracking the Cryptic videos. The RIAA does not own those videos. In fact there are quite a few videos on youtube the RIAA doesn't own.

I haven't heard any, but I haven't gone looking either. I'm just saying there's at least literally one reason to use webpack for new code.

I think the difference is the rent-seeking. Imagine a web developer gets hired to build a landing page for a product. Yes please, charge twice as much for your work, sure. But say they tried to charge an ongoing 30% of all future revenue fo

Socks are in fact immutable infrastructure. When your EC2 instance crashes, you shut it down and provision a new one. When your socks get holes, you throw them out and buy new ones. This isn't 2010 anymore, you really think people debu

> My project will still get 1.0.2, so it will still have the security hole. Right. To mitigate that you would regularly run `npm audit` or even just `npm upgrade` – and test afterwards of course. I'm not completely sold, but I do th

Web of trust just means "If A trusts B, and B trusts C, then A trusts C." Nothing to do with distributed databases/ledgers.

Read it again. Any one dependency, or the root project, has the power to pull in the latest version. One laggard dependency does not stop that. For your second question, yes, Rust handles that well. If you depend on ">=1.0" and

Let's say you have two dependencies each requesting colors: colors@1.0.1-1.0.3 colors@1.0.1-1.0.4 With npm, you'll end up with 1.0.3 because it satisfies all constraints. OP wants to end up with 1.0.4 if at least one dependenc

A blockchain isn't needed for that. Authentication needs "crypto"graphy, but not "crypto"currency. This wouldn't be a complete thread without someone mentioning Rust, so I'll do it. cargo-crev is a nice we

Summary: The author argues that version bounds should be treated as a maximum rather than a minimum, like Go does. e.g., if the latest version of colors is 1.0.3, and you have dependencies that request 1.0.1 and 1.0.2, you would end up with

AIUI, old cars are usually grandfathered in to these laws based on the model year. So cars manufactured before 1965 don't have to be retrofitted with seatbelts. And your Model T doesn't have to meet modern emission standards. On e

Who cares if people "scoff"? The point of a tax is not to affect someone's emotions. The point of a tax is to affect their behavior and collect their money. If that tax affects their planning and finances (aka they recognize
