Hmm did you read the article? One specific attack vector they show has nothing to with Git or pushing/pulling to repositories. It shows an install.sh which curl downloads a master.zip from a public github repo and executes files within

Except getServerSideProps is no longer used in Next 13 and actually you have no simple access to the request object anymore. Have to write middleware for everything, it is extremely frustrating

I'm a professional programmer not a graphics person, so take with a grain of salt. It looks cool! The intro is fun and the scrolling title bar is a nice touch (although I think some people might be turned off by it) I will say though,

Did the Chinese government ultimately regulate the market to protect people and prevent this kind of corruption?

Not to be rude but this source code... makes me wonder if I ever want to use Zig. It looks barely readable https://github.com/andrewrk/poop/blob/main/src/main.zig

In this implementation, to maximise performance, we consider each individual byte of the file separately, and look it up in π. LOL so you get to store your data for free, and all it takes is allocating like 8 bytes for every byte. T

Well I've had my car broken into, and I've been assulted twice by homeless people--once spat on, and once physically jumped/attacked. (Edit: also the more I think about it, the more I remember other scary/dangerous incid

I agree that we need to be mindful about our approach. Homeless people can't be given unlimited luxuries because we can't afford it as a society. That being said, your comment comes across as reductive to the homeless population a

For those with mental health you obviously can not decriminalize this The exact opposite is true. It must be decriminalized for those with mental health issues. Criminalization of drug use was never about crime or drugs. It is to

Meanwhile people say "But the homeless people will just use public wifi for porn!" Like... okay, and what are you using your wifi for? Regardless, removing this would just make them more stressed and irratic. There are worse thi

This is such a lazy approach to social issues. Being poor and homeless is so hard. The system is built with countless chicken-egg problems that make it almost impossible to climb out of poverty. On top of this, elitists who are so disconnec

I think all the countries with "free" healthcare end up with having absurd waiting times The irony is that we also have absurd wait times in the USA for our paid healthcare. At least other countries get it for free. This i

Ah it was a miscommunication then, my bad! I interpreted "capturing value" as meaning "capturing potential value" i.e. some untapped resource, or in other words generating value. So it sounds like we're talking ab

Nothing new, just trying to capture industries/value. None of what you said sounds cynical imo, just un-businesslike I suppose. Who cares about shifting paradigms / something brand new? Not every business has to change the

The fact that talking to your daughter about her day when she comes home is a nuisance to you, which the office saves you from, is a very interesting detail

Another way of wording what you just said: "What if cancelling the subscription is more costly than keeping it?" Uh... then keep it, because that means it's providing value to you.

I like how the original comment gave some thoughtful napkin estimates about how this product may be worth several thousand dollars as a function of time saved, and your counter argument is just "nah it's $30 total" with absol

I remember learning about this in EMT training. That a tiny air bubble in an IV line is lethal is a popular myth. Actually apparently IV lines have air in them all the time, the body is not that fragile

Maybe a trust issue? e.g. Mozilla did not want the Debian team the ability to create some strangely modified version of Firefox that would be mistakenly connected to Mozilla. Back then perhaps there was not enough context to know that Debia

If you bring a banned book into a library, they will reject it and turn it away on the basis of state extortion for risk of being defunded or other legal issues. That's what we're talking about here. We're not talking about c

Considering two of the first commenters in this gist are Kirby and a Dall-E anime girl, sounds like a spot on assessment. Not that people should be shamed for their personal interests! Everyone should imbue some of their personal style in

I remember FlyFF from my childhood! Never spent money on it, but yeah that was my first experience with a "pay to win" game model, so I can see how kid-you would have done this.
