This is xenophobic BS. Same point was recently made by many Greek far-right chaps, only to find out that the most wanted gang leader was actually Greek (read: EU passport holder). So "illegal immigration" is not the main issue her

Of course I have a misunderstanding. You only shared some very vague statements. Could you share some insight on your threat model and your envisioned use case? TFA is obviously referring to the general case where you can't really put

Sorry to break you the news, but your employer is probably selling snake oil. And this is exactly the point of the TFA: > However, in practice, any attempt at de-identification requires removal not only of your identifiable information,

True. But you should also write it for your fellow developers/engineers. If the culture among engineers in your job discounts the value of clean code, you're probably entering a world of pain. Sure, you should not obsess over clea

I'm not sure I get you. What do you mean the "latest version of the method"? And why shouldn't code from 18 months ago not work? Some minimal regression testing should be in place for production code, and it is probably

Curating the commit history takes like 10' per PR and can easily repay in hours of work when some bug hits. Or when you want to tell the junior that wants to implement X for A, why don't you take a look on this one commit where

Stopping tax breaks for highly skilled professionals is not a good move IMHO. This is how you attract international companies that cannot strictly rely on the local work pool to operate. Also, is the number of such professionals that high t

So, I guess this is another instance of the "bogus CVE problem" [1]? I.e. people upselling discovered bugs/vulnerabilites for "street cred". [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37608110

Reported by would be appropriate credit if (a) the maintainer did not read Ariel's code or (b) Ariel's code was utter crap, so it was effectively discarded. "I like my code better" indicates that neither of this happened

Making the content isn't free either. If they don't like Russel Brand for whatever reason, they're free to deplatform him. Virtue signaling while lining your pockets is disingenuous.

Manufacturers trying to get ahead of inflation and ending up with record profits. How convenient. I'll buy the media narrative this time, thank you.

It was about time. For the past few years, manufacturers just make absurd raises and let the supermarkets get all the flak from the angry consumers. I had heard about that anecodtally about a local supermarket chain and I was frankly surpri

Support for trailing commas is just the sane thing to do, especially since JSON is inspired by Javascript that already supports them. So does Python, Java, C++ and perhaps another half dozen of popular programming languages. Why the hell go

This is one step closer to also normalizing genocide. Where do you draw the line of when it is ok to punish a group of people for something that someone who is vaguely* related to them did? *The use of "family" is a red herring. T

Adding a pinch of m4 [1] can give you a bit more of flexibility while sticking with the same barebones approach. I used to maintain a small website built like that some 20 years back. But I can't see the model working today, personal w

Fairly obvious, but if you do dumb things and expect a general methodology to save you, it won't. Or, like it is said in fitness world, "you cannot out-train a bad diet". Moreover, if you have people in your team that are not
