Most of this is great, except for the input/datalist bits, which are not sufficiently functional to be used in any real scenario. Users expect these interfaces to be tolerant of misspellings, optional sub text under each option, mobile

Well, either way, the point stands that checking this dependency into source control would not have made any difference since it was malicious all along.

Let's nobody make any fuss about this yet, lest they wise up before releasing the rest of the docs this way too!

It's hardly an end-run around VCS to specify an external dependency's VCS sha, and resolve that at build time. But okay, let's go further and use git submodules so that package.json is out of the picture. Even in that case w

I agree with much of what you said here, but is it really just about the package manager? If I had specified this repo's git url with a specific version number or sha directly in my package.json, the outcome would be just about the sa

I think you're joking, but to clarify -- not personally yours. A misbehaving worker box, an app server in the staging environment, etc. A resource owned by the organization for which you work, where it would not be appropriate for yo

This is for when you have to ssh into some machine that's not yours, in order to do debugging or troubleshooting -- and you need your precious dotfiles while you're in there, but it would be not nice to scatter your config and lea

I don't know if I can get behind poisoning my own content in this way. It's clever, and might be a workable practical solution for some, but it's not a serious answer to the problem at hand (as acknowledged by OP).

This is a cute idea, but I wonder what is the sustainable solution to this emerging fundamental problem: As content publishers, we want our content to be accessible to everyone, and we're even willing to pay for server costs relative t

This looks so very cool, and so then all the more thought provoking that the tests themselves are closed-source, unlike the rest of the codebase. In this evolving world of rapidly improving llm coding agent productivity, the idea that the

Alas, the content of this post does not support its title. Nobody seems more "damaged" than the Democratic party at this moment, who just squandered a massive political opportunity, and only invited more steamrolling to come.
