I saw a recent post about only adopting packages a certain number of days post release (say +3 days, or +7 days) after. The idea is you never bring in fresh commits, only older ones. This would need dangerous or bad commits to be marked vul

I'd very much like to learn more about this too, deserves its own blog post.

I've made the same exact SVN mistake. My first week in my first Software Engineering job, accidentally deleted trunk and my team lead had to scramble to fix my mistake. I will always remember how he told me "Don't worry, it h

Been using Claude as a harness to OpenRouter for a while now. It's a nice setup if you don't mind API based billing.

I wish people wouldn't abuse the author of that project over this. Giving them the benefit of the doubt in that this was a mistake and not intentionally malicious, it feels really bad for hundreds if not thousands of people to send hat

This was not on my bingo card. Not sure why eBay would take this personally. They've had a solid couple of years and there is room to grow. Gamestop on the other hand I'm not sure will exist in 10 years.

Valve's VACnet solution is definitely interesting. It uses AI, deep learning and is server side. It's hard to tell how effective that has been for them compared to traditional client side detection systems; I don't imagine th

Couldn't agree more, I have personally benefited from the additional layer and it irks me when people outright claim it has no value.

I'm being very cynical here but who says that their tool or LLM discovered this. How do we know they didn't hire some expert security researchers to find it or bought it off the black market as a promotion stunt. With that being s

Last time I heard about Zed I was intrigued. Now i'm interested, going to give it a go.

Very neat, definitely some creative approaches in there I didn't expect like `yt-dlp`. Maybe I shouldn't have that just sitting around :)

KeePass users continue to live the stress free live. I've managed to avoid several security breaches in last 5 years alone by using KeePass locally on my own infra.

I used to use a Windows firewall which basically hijacked a bunch of WinAPI calls and let me approve/deny every request. Trying to be a good secure boy I ran this setup for a while but it was exhausting. Every single action needed doze

The parody is amazing! They were quick to respond and made a great ad at a time a lot of people are moving away from Ring.

Any modern system with a sizeable userbase has thousands of bugs. Not all bugs are severe, some might be inconveniences at best affecting only a small % of customers. You have to usually balance feature work and bug fixes and leadership alm

I believe the idea is to pick small items that you'd likely be able to solve quickly. You don't know for sure but you can usually take a good guess at which tasks are quick.

Lovely attack vector. It's fun to open the various databases stored by browsers like Chrome in SQLITE to see the kind of information they store. I wouldn't be surprised if a similar attack vector existed for a different stored art

I've heard good things about Zig. I want to pick it up and experiment with it but at ~2% market share I find it hard to justify spending the time to learn and master it right now. It's usually much easier to find the time to learn

Interesting. From what I can tell this allows some screen readers to select specific accents. Also the browser can select the appropriate spell checker (US English vs British English).

Exactly. Most CTO's have tens if not hundreds of direct reports that rely on them regularly. Which is why their time must be used to support them leaving absolutely 0 time to do PR code contributions on the side (unless you work weeken
