Honest question: Does this not already exist? - https://vulnerability.circl.lu/ - https://osv.dev/ - https://vuldb.com/ And a few others?

I mention this in another comment. The infrastructure for an alternative is already partially in place. In my opinion it's mostly the industry needing to adapt to a new setup that needs to happen. It was just "easy" to rely o

ENISA in Europe has the mandate of building a EU vulnerability database for the NIS 2 directive anyway and it's coming soon... And CIRCL in Luxembourg are providing vulnerability-lookup which can also assign IDs but in a more decentral

The CVE program was started over 25 years ago. It is very reputable (until yesterday) and it was very much in the interest of the US to be seen as the stewards of this. The funding requirements can't be that high and I'm willing t

My experience is very very different. LLM code is often useless for Frontend stuff for me while it's okay for things like Java and Rust etc. For frontend stuff the churn seems to be so big that I almost never get valid code because the

Thank you! Yeah, I'm mostly looking for someone to hold my hand. The limited amount of time I have I'd love to actually learn and play and not search for the "best tutorial for XYZ". So anything with a guided path is per

Sorry for the slightly off-topic question: As a "kid" I loved Flight Simulator (this was 25+ years ago). If I wanted to get back into it today are there any recommendations what to use/get in terms of software and hardware to

An additional regulation that will come into effect soon (fully only in 2027) is the Cyber Resilience Act which will require all manufacturers to provide at least security updates for however long a "reasonable user" expects to ge

Because they provide good service to most customers. Your case is unfortunate, and I totally understand why you'd be taking you business elsewhere, but probably an outlier. Otherwise, we'd need to ask the same about AWS et. al. as

Total aside: Training wheels are a thing I remember from my youth but today (at least here) they are barely used at all anymore. I'm still used to the phrase (taking the training wheels off) but I'm fairly certain my kids will gro

This can also be useful if you are looking for funding e.g. grants etc. to show how relevant your project is. Just to add a different interepretation: To me this does not imply planning on infrastructure at all.

This mirrors my experience. I've tried various tools (including Cursor) and my problem is that they often (more than 50%) generates non-working code. Why does it do so? Because the ecosystems change so fast and they have been trained o

As absurd as it sounds: I probably would have a NYT subscription right now if it were easier to cancel. I sometimes subscribe to these organizations for a few months, then cancel to try something new, come back for a bit etc. But NYT has fo

Just to add a different opinion: I have been using Jira my whole life and I am now using GitHub issues full-time and I like it a lot, I also like these new changes and I'm looking forward to even more to dependencies between issues. h

I'm sure you know but just to make sure. You can use Issue Templates to steer people towards Discussions. It's not perfect but it can help a bit at least. https://docs.github.com/en/communities/using-temp

FYI: Contrary to Tasklists (which were in beta but will be phased out) this does not support adding Pull Requests as sub-"issues".

A battery alone is not enough. You also need an inverter that's capable of powering your house. Most are not. They need to e.g. provide the proper frequency on their own and entirely/physically decouple from the grid etc. They are

I agree that there is a chance this could happen. But as a business owner myself it's pretty simple: It's far cheaper for me to take an existing dependency, create SBOMs and patch regularly compared to having to develop and mainta

I don't know where you reside and what kind of software you build. With the European Cyber Resilience Act coming into full effect late 2027/early 2028 (depends on when it's finally signed) this will not always be an option an

Yup, this is something we've thought about as well. We're a remote company so everyone would need to get their own but this option is definitely on the table.

Yup, this is absolutely a "me" problem. Life just gets in the way. I'm on call, the kids ask to go to the pool, I leave my phone in the locker forgetting that I'm on-call. I visit friends, forget to bring my laptop etc.

Shameless question tangential related to the topic. We are based in Europe and have the problem that some of us sometimes just forget we're on call or are afraid that we'll miss OpsGenie notifications. We're desparately looki

Yes, that is true. I should have been more clear, sorry. At least in Germany most private solar systems cannot be remote controlled yet so it's harder to actively steer the generation. That is different with wind turbines.
