FWIW, it sounds like the judge may be open to ruling against such an action. From his decision at https://aboutblaw.com/blQg : > Even if Plaintiff had made a “vote dilution” or “on…

I'm far from an expert, but this feels like an oversimplification. Python packages traditionally use setup.py to install code, and setup.py is all executable code under the install…

Reading this article has given me a profound realization: As a software user, I don't want the products I use to ship new features at "three, five, or ten times what they shipped a…

Considering the many hundreds of technical comments over at the PR ( https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/61478 ), the 8 reviewers thanked by name in the article, and the stellar re…

Appreciate the reminder (the lack of SemVer has thrown me in the past). In this case, 6.0 is a bigger change than normal: > TypeScript 6.0 arrives as a significant transition relea…

The main selling point for me is that it has proper data times for dates, times, etc. Most date/time libraries that I've seen have a only single "date/time" or "timestamp" type, th…

In a follow-up tweet, Mark Atwood eloborates: "Amazon was very carefully complying with the licenses on FFmpeg. One of my jobs there was to make sure the company was doing so. Cont…

pnpm doesn't execute lifecycle scripts by default, so it avoids the particular attack vector of "simply downloading and installing an NPM package allows it to execute malicious cod…

The way you know is by running the full SQLite test suite, with 100% MC/DC coverage (slightly stricter than 100% branch coverage), on each new compiler, version, and set of flags y…

Yes. Sardar Biglari, who's an activist investor and the CEO and owner of Steak'n'Shake, has been pushing for more control over Cracker Barrel for several years. He amplified some o…

Would you still say it's a small API surface? State, memos, callbacks (which are just memo functions), effects, effect events, reducers, context, external stores, special handling …

I assume you're referring to Web SQL? As I understand it, the argument against isn't just "there's only 1 implementation," it's "there's no standard and there's only 1 implementati…

For Git? Maybe not. For GitHub? IPv6 support would sure be nice: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/10539

I'm not sure how much difference that bill's clause makes in practice. As I understand it (courtesy of the "Advisory Opinions" legal podcast, but any misunderstandings are my own),…

Belief within limits, yes. At least, I can only think of a couple of possible explanations for the event: 1. Cook only cares about pursuing profits, but at a shareholder meeting wh…

The biggest difference I'm aware of is that ECharts has an add-on for 3D charts (echarts-gl). Chart.js doesn't have any 3D functionality. (Our project mostly uses Chart.js, so I'm …

I mean, yeah, I said it was easy enough to work around. But it's an issue I've seen raised in a discussions of C code maintenance. (The typical conclusion is that using `-Wall -Wer…

In practice, C has a couple of significant pitfalls that I've read about. First is if you compile with `-Werror -Wall` or similar; new compiler diagnostics can result in a build fa…

Yes. I don't remember Murderbot using the Rin disguise / persona later on.
