Some people will use this to argue against dependencies or npm, but I would argue that this vulnerability is actually a great example of why those are good things. The bug is caused by an esoteric IP address notation. Nearly everyone who wo

Who are these "decision makers"? As far as my experience goes, papers just get submitted and then go into the peer-review process. If a paper comes down to the level of discourse we're seeing in these blogs, it won't get published, but if i
