How do you learn about the ones you don't know exist? The first thing it asks is what I want to do, and I couldn't seem to get past it before getting tired of talking to a bot. Me: I'm a software engineer. GPT: That's gr

Great post. Feels like something a linter should catch.

> I spent several hours fixing a problem and I learned next to nothing in the process. This seems like the wrong attitude to me. It's the perfect opportunity to dig into what those kernel params do! Understand _why_ that fixed the p

I dunno, pointing out that something has a poor architecture and pointing out that something has severe, known, and ignored security issues feels different.

Is it just me, or does some of this feel less whistleblower-y and more petty? For example: > The company also lacks sufficient redundancies and procedures to restart or recover from data center crashes, Zatko's disclosure says, mean

I haven't actually struggled much, here. I use hardware security (yubikeys) for everything that I can, and everything I can't generally uses TOTP, where I can use keepassxc. The one that has been annoying is a client who insists o

Then we have similar struggles. I've found that there are various ways to attack self-discipline problems. Step one is trying to make it hard for yourself to fall. For me, that means not having cookies/candy/etc. in the house

Yes, I got rid of my smartphone a few years ago. Personally, my challenge wasn't so much social media, but that I simply couldn't handle being so connected. Ultimately, I have a self-discipline problem, and I know it. I shattered

Indeed. The fact that they're also limiting free organizations to 5 members (counting members of sub-groups)[1], which feels truly arbitrary, seems to agree. [1]: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2022/03/24&

IANAL, but as long as they block copilot producing verbatim code (which I believe they do now, after some blowback), I can't reason my way past "so you're not okay with a computer learning from you, but you are okay with peop

I'm afraid that feels like wishful thinking more than anything.

> Rate limiting Microsoft's ability to exploit FOSS [...]. That's my point-- how? Presumably you're just going to host your FOSS somewhere else that Microsoft can still get it.

Look, I agree that copilot feels slimy. However, honest question: if you're maintaining an open source project, in most cases I'd say your source is publicly available somewhere. What realistically prevents github from doing exact

As others have mentioned, such gems should have shared maintainership across multiple accounts (each with their own creds and MFA) as opposed to shared creds and MFA.

I applaud the move in the right direction, but please add support for webauthn. OTPs are really inconvenient in comparison. It looks like maybe it's been in flight for a while? https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems.

That's Canonical's PR line. As someone working at Canonical during the discussions, I can tell you that's not true.

I've used its python bindings. I've been quite pleased with how well it works, honestly. I wrote some software for a client with multiple radio stations. It's a service that listens to one web stream per station and shoots th

You have options if you want something like that. Use a rolling release distribution like Arch. For commercial use, this ESM model is spot on.

I don't think it needs to be that in-your-face. I believe an inline "this tweet has been edited" link to a revision history or diff would thwart most abuse.

It would make it easy to call out anything nefarious, though.

Exactly my thought.

Haha, I swear every time I wish I could edit a tweet it's within 5 minutes after I post it. To be fair, at least with my incredibly limited followers, that's soon enough I can just delete it and post it again without losing too mu

A fork is a copy that is maintained separately, and that is exactly what is happening here. You're actually quite right that, if all they were maintaining was a Debian package, they could theoretically maintain a source package with a

They're not developing new features, though. They're literally supporting Blender as it is. If there's a security issue in Blender, you probably won't be able to fix it by creating a new Python extension.
