Sure it has, reputable news publications as well as scientific journals issue retractions and updates as a matter of course. E.g. NY Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/30/admin/new-york-times-corr...

I agree that it does feel a bit paradoxical, but reversing a product for repair purposes verses reversing it for duplication are treated fundamentally differently by reasonable people. One is "right to repair" the other is "c

I'm personally working on migrating a DB I've had for tracking some economic time-series data from Influx to TimescaleDB, and I have to say Outflux is the most savage tool name ever.

Just watched a Def Con video where Jmaxxz self-installs a remote-start system. Lots of interesting details about what could have gone wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8SG2V3n4-U

Wonderful post, so glad that Mrs. Hansson stepped out for this cause, as uncomfortable as it was. I've personally wondered at credit scores + credit offered for a long time. The amount of regulation provides wonderful cover for these b

Sure, so you can represent the other far extreme. I certainly advocate for review, but we should be practical. No one reads all the code down to the proc to ensure nothing malicious is happening, and the average software dev wouldn't b

... yes, I am responding to a comment critical of the usage of composer, requesting for it to be published as individual, self-contained files.

This concept of reviewing every line of OSS and copy / pasting the ones you agree with is really holding PHP dev back. Embracing dependency management is an important way to focus your codebase on your application code and is just a mo

That correlation is very frustrating -- people should take this more seriously, but those who discover things are punished... should be pretty obvious why security is way it is, right?

Why would we combine Whole Foods and Trader Joe's? Whew, at least it's not bigger than Target and Walgreens combined though! It is however about 40% the size of Kroger... so there is that.

Well this is the whole point of privacy, right? Individuals or teams may have a perspective, but the business ultimately wins.

This is something I've been working on a bit myself. Figuring out which files change is relatively easy (as you've demonstrated). Figuring out what the impact of that is quite hard in non-compiled languages (tools like Maven, Buck

Very rudimentary explanation of what cookies are and a few of the things WordPress uses them for -- wrapped in a massively self-promotional post complete with attempted push notifications. This post should be flagged.

Sure... so, showing "here is a weird disk pattern -- they were running X on top of it -- consider not running X on SSD" with a sampleset of 1 is a logical fallacy and kinda a bizarre post. For small samplesets, going deep to under

Apple has notoriously aggressively focused on a future-facing scalable way. I.e. where they see enough of the market in say 5 years (i.e. firewire, USB-C). However, they have been wrong before, AND I don't think anyone can argue that t

I don't think this is an explanation for the current status and gains of Twitter. Trump has been president for over a year, and has been a prolific tweeter for far longer. If anything, Trump tweets are less novel and more common place

Your comment is pretty unashamedly self-serving and not entirely on topic. Storify was curated, yours intentionally doesn't overlap on the heart of this product.

That seems like a strawman and openly hostile to debate with people who do not vote like you.

I've been in some newsrooms where this becomes a slippery slope... they're saying the small daily articles are just there to fund the rest, but those get sensationalized headlines, misleading social images... but it's okay be

I believe my case was pretty clearly articulated as are some of the other comments on a thumbnail sketch of the tradeoff comparison we have and continue to do. I'm sorry you believe the worst in this community.

It's less about component-level refetching (though you can), it's more about the strong data specificity and composition that is the point of this article. That said, it's up to your query builder to figure out intelligent re
