Finding this one-page was great! It gave me a new term I didn't have before that leads to all sorts of new materials to go rifling through.

>>This [...] vuln is not a breach or compromise of MongoDB >IANAL, but this seems like a pretty strong stance to take? Who exactly are you blaming here? You elide the context that …

Worktrees are useful particularly because they look like entirely separate projects to your IDEs or other project tooling. They are more useful on larger projects with lots of dail…

There are OS-level settings for date and unit formats but not all software obeys that, instead falling back to using the default date/unit formats for the selected locale.

Render to pdf or ebook to read from an ereader, at least that's what I prefer. I use Instapaper to quickly snag articles while browsing then later use my kobo to sit and read throu…

The article presumes the reader is familiar with "malicious inbox rules" and doesn't elaborate or link to further info on it. From what I can find online it seems to be a scenario …

I'm a huge fan of uMatrix too, and have debated getting involved to help revive it. Can you share more information on the bypass you mention?

Looks like the source to Bitestring's blog is still up, maybe domain registration just lapsed? https://github.com/bitestring/bitestring.github.io/blob/main...

Thank you, I look forward to watching your presentation.

Rust caught the lock being held across an await boundary, but without further context I'd hedge there's still a concurrency issue there if the solution was to release the lock befo…

Same would be true for any resource that needs cleaned up, right? Referring to stop-polling-future as canceling is probably not good nomenclature. Typically canceling some work req…

They first disabled rubocop to prevent further exploit, then rotated keys. If they awaited deploying the fix that would mean letting compromised keys remain valid for 9 more hours.…

If your only professional experience is OCaml and you want to look elsewhere for work then your opportunities shrink noticeably. Especially if you're looking for a position that re…

Git’s rerere functionality should address this, right? https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Tools-Rerere

I don’t even prefer it for indicating that something can return null. In most cases the Option API is more tedious and awkward than a null check and there are existing annotations …

I mean, the same goes for all crime being a people problem. The anti-cheat keeps honest people honest as they say.

> The technique was called product-line engineering. Thank you for adding this bit of info! We’ve been using this model for a while but I hadn’t come across a label for it. Now kno…

I think you misread the original post. They’re referring to LLVM the compiler toolchain, not LLMs.

Great write up. I read through maybe half of the points and skipped to the end, bookmarked to come back and finish later. I’d like if the author could elaborate a bit about the typ…

Their website had just recently gotten a make over, which might be why this was posted. https://github.com/apache/guacamole-website/pull/138 Great project

I work with software medical devices. Another aspect here aside from 510k is that it is required, or effectively required, to comply with something like IEC-62304 (developing softw…

I thought most of the reasons - not being welcomed to modifying git - were known already for someone who went looking, but seeing the quotes from ex facebookers is interesting. I’d…

It’s probably not part of their repo, but exists alongside, possibly gitignored. Either way in the same workspace the IDE will have to invalidate a lot of it when you switch, and a…

We’re not yet using git, but we have one repository with multiple branches, one for each released version (on-prem software, not a service run). We are in regular active developmen…

Except in your example I’ve had numerous cases where bugs have been introduced because the developer’s primary thinking to pick a set was “fast” and “no duplicates”, only to later …
