Maybe this is misguided, but it feels a bit to me (comparing the ruby and js versions for example) that this is using the same code examples in both, and neither are really typical of the sorts of code people in either language community wo

I wonder if there's a concern that staggering the malware signatures would open them up to lawsuits if somebody was hacked in between other customers getting the data and them getting the data.

I have a silly question I guess... why does it print everything out twice? ~ doggo google.com NAME TYPE CLASS TTL ADDRESS NAMESERVER google.com. A IN 296s 142.250.67.14 127.0.2.2:53 google.com. A IN 296s 142.250.67

yeah the way he described it it's like... well who would ever do that. but foreign keying to emails or usernames is much easier to "accidentally" do and is a classic source of long-term headaches.

It's a ridiculous argument that seems to imply that humans can't code either.

And there's already a chrome plugin that pings you if you copy watermarked text (or rather text with weird characters in it).

dunno what to tell you, they're a hell of a lot cheaper than the macbook pros and system76 laptops staff used to get.

I mean, in codespaces you have scripts that run as the codespace is built. So we basically have s3 buckets with appropriately-sanitized (hopefully) data dumps that the repos copy down and then import into the database. You can tell codespac

We are an agency where you might flip between working on several completely different projects in a week, and for us it's extremely useful. We'd had all our sites set up to run fairly easily via docker compose prior, but I'd

And the radio signals are a pretty unhelpful indicator because you could have looked at earth with life on it at any point within the last three billion years and there have only been radio emissions for the last 30-millionth of that time.

But if you were, you were right, because it's mostly ridiculous.

Of all the problems I'm trying to solve, "using light switches" is definitely not one of them. They're fine.

Yeah surely a better approach is... rather than inheriting from an all powerful class, just compose controllers out of modules. Some used in almost every controller. Some pretty specific to one or two edge cases. Like the problem was having

I have the "Professional PHP6" book which I feel like should be a collectors item or something. Weird book IMO, because it has a lot of content that's just about general software development, rather than anything to do with

This article is pretty ironic because it's just a low effort post that also happens to be giving terrible advice.

Most people are using computing devices to do the specific things the device is designed for, quite often in a low-trust high-security work environment (even when this isn't explicitly how people think of it, it's usually the case

What would be nice would be some sort of solemn undertaking that the presence or absence of a browser scrollbar will never alter the placement of the content.

What's funny about bing is that it shows me what appears to be, from UI cues, a carousel of some sort but none of the controls do anything. (It went away after a refresh) Also crazy that they wont let me use their new AI without downlo

it's probably actually cheaper to pay people piece rates to do it for you in a browser than to pay a developer to write and maintain a scraping script anyway, so if the later became genuinely impossible moving to the former isn't

I mean you're right. It's weird that people are fixated on the specific way this outbreak occurred. Any plausible and proven way an outbreak of roughly this type could occur is equally significant, and I think is pretty well

Think this also broke github codespaces (the downloading of devcontainer "features").
