Oh cool. This is from the folks behind story time chess. https://storytimechess.com/ I can thoroughly recommend. I’ve purchased it for my (then) 4 year old and it’s definitely been…

And the just released “Palaces of The Crow” by Ray Nayler. I just finished it — really moving but also a brutal read in parts (c.f. because of what humans will do to each other not…

Yes, let’s pay down the deficit by cutting funding to the sciences. While the latest war is running at ~1 billion a day (we’re in day 48 btw). https://iran-cost-ticker.com/

There’s Zenitizer by an indie dev https://apps.apple.com/us/app/meditation-timer-zenitizer/id6...

While appalling I don’t think you would find it 'crushing', even ignoring the jibe about expat conclaves. Costa Rica’s 17 in 100k is ~2.5 times bigger than the US’ 6 in 100k people…

You guys are tripping. EULAs have had anti-competition, anti-benchmarking, anti-reverse engineering and anti-disparagement clauses since the late 90s. These unknown companies calle…

At least one person has been subject to secondary screening and ultimately denied entry on the accusation that they had two phones. > I thought I was just going to be given my pass…

This is the ultimate nihilistic take on security. Yes, 'cyber' security has devolved to box checking and cargo culting in many orgs. But what's your counter on trying to fix the pr…

I’m a fellow cyclist in SF and can only wholeheartedly second this. To add some extra anxiety, I’m usually riding a cargo bike, ferrying a child to or from daycare. I still remembe…

I've got conflicted feels about Tailscale. I love their product and a bunch of the people I know use their free tier, including myself. But their enterprise strategy destroys their…

I doubt it’s a real threat but it would be a country that would happily unsubscribe from US export bans. So Israel or Singapore would be two good options for the chip industry. Sou…

As well as being disingenuous your whole argument is beside the point. ASML isn’t threatening to move to the US. The current administration has created day light between the US and…

Did you even read the article? ASML is chaffing against American-led export regulations. The Trump government is still very keen on restricting China’s ability to make cutting edge…

Yes. It was probably a maintainer's creds being compromised. The [malicious commit is masquerading as a commit from Renovate]( https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/commit/0e…

I mean maybe! But only if you've removed all of the usage of this compromised `tj-actions/changedfiles` action, across all your repos and their branches. Otherwise, if you continue…

You can pin GitHub Actions to specific versions or specific commits. But note you can change version tags arbitrarily. In this specific case, the bad actor changes all of the versi…

No idea. But they didn't do a great job -- they broke the action, which caused build failures that people were going to notice. The malicious commit only landed at 09:57 PDT today …

Only commit hashes are safe. In this case the bad actor changed all of the version tags to point to their malicious commit. See https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/tags All…

Exactly. And that's what happened here -- the bad actor changed all of those version tags to point to their malicious commit. See https://github.com/tj-actions/changed-files/tags A…
