> I'm constantly thinking about that Microsoft guy who posted something like "we want 1 million LoC per engineer per month", which basically read as satire to most engineers I talk…

I mean... "as configured" can me either an allow OR a denylist. That sentence doesn't really prescribe doing it one way or the other..? You have to parse the denylisted elements be…

pnpm is the better comparison maybe in this context. Most of Deno's approach to security is focussed on whole program policies which doesn't do much in this context. Just like pnpm…

Vendoring wouldn't really affect this at all. If anything it would keep you vulnerable for longer because your vendored copy keeps "working" after the bad package got removed upstr…

They didn't deploy the code. That's not how this exploit works. They _downloaded_ the code to their machine. And npm's behavior is to implicitly run arbitrary code as part of the d…

Looks like it's back again!

Afaict many of these recent supply chain attacks _have_ been detected by scanners. Which ones flew under the radar for an extended period of time? From what I can tell, even a few …

Nothing to do with "smart", or at least that's mostly irrelevant to this observation. But it's definitely age-dependent. No matter how "smart", it's not fair to expect young childr…

> Why the South? What about the North? Symmetric globe? The globe isn't symmetric when it comes to these terms. They don't refer to the actual two hemispheres, split at the equator…

Could this be trivially solved client-side by the editor if it just encoded the slashes, assuming it's HTML or markdown that's stored? Replacing `/etc/hosts` with `/etc/hos…

> The gap between design and engineering has never been wider. This seems like such a weird claim to make. This used to be "here's a JPEG, you may beg for the PSD". Not saying that…

Being spec compliant means being compliant with the entire spec, not just a "reasonable subset of the spec", picked by the author of the ponyfill/polyfill. And being secure only in…

Many (most?) traits require energy to develop and maintain. A stronger muscle will need more energy so there's always pressure to reduce it. That pressure may just be countered by …

> When doing so, caches SHOULD first normalize request content to remove semantically insignificant differences, thereby improving cache efficiency, by: [...] That part sounds like…

So you don't use a spam filter in your inbox? You just subscribe to more emails that you _do_ want to drown out the spam? It's easy to say "just counter with more speech!" but it's…

Apart from the "it just explained the already ordered groups in the question" problem, it didn't even explain one of the groups correctly. "Something about coat(ing) and food" is n…

If you have a static frontend bundle, isn't that just SSG (static site generation)? And if you can generate the site at build time, what's the fundamental difference between any of…

The dataset seems pretty unreliable. For example this page claims both that "Kai" isn't a name used in German: https://mixedname.com/name/kai . But then half of the "celebrities na…

Congrats on 1.0!

And that article says: > Perl regexes have become a de facto standard, having a rich and powerful set of atomic expressions.

That's a question of policy, not of repo structure. A monorepo can still have certain parts of the repo protected by access control. One repo doesn't mean "all files share one read…

What they said was: > in the neighborhood of the difference between the fair current market value (~20B$?) and the purchase price (~44B$). The difference is 24B$ which is implied t…

Because people generally have elevated rights when it concerns themselves? E.g. I have the right not to be touched and it will (generally) outrank your right to touch me.

Until very recently it was a thing in all browsers, with a variety of lower bounds depending on which browser. It was meant to prevent accidental busy-loops when developers forgot …

I think you misread that paragraph. It refers to situations like this: "You selected that you want to jointly apply with another individual. Do *they* live in the same household as…
