    Right - I understand all that, I just think it's not a good idea. The compiler makers made some things warnings and others errors for a reason, to disregard their input because you…

    Most of "feeling sick" isn't the actual bacteria/virus causing problems, it's your immune system doing things like raising your internal temperature to fight off the virus or gener…

    Good reason to pull all crypto into fiat ASAP, store it in a real bank (or really, diversify it - user said that was the "vast vast majority" of their savings, that should never be…

    I agree it's probably a joke, but I'm not so sure that the core idea is actually impossible... I could reasonably see a SaaS that simply provides a quick and dirty key-val store. T…

    Curious, whats so special about SFO? I searched for some images and it doesn't seem terribly special (certainly not 2x price special).

    If you take to time to set up incremental compilation, it's really quite fast. For reference, updates to the vscode repo (~5k files) take generally It's concerning to me that the d…

    These aren't signatures though? They're checksums, anyone could make them for any blob they want.

    Is it a common scenario nowadays to download a file and have it be corrupted? I don't think I've ever had that happen (Though perhaps I wouldn't know, because I don't use these che…

    I've always been a bit confused as to what the attack vector those protect against is for self-hosted packages (i.e. not torrents, third party hosting services, etc.). If the attac…

    Blood Meridian is generally more highly regarded, no? Wiki states it's widely regarded as his magnum opus and a "Great American Novel".

    right, it's not only compromised API keys, but it could be that with something else.

    Parent takes the posted-from metadata as absolute truth. I say it can't be relied upon when an active & involved hack is underway. You provide nothing of value. What do you think t…
