No, it’s most certainly patently ridiculous. > Whats ridiculuous is the claim that a scammer would prefer to show up physically at a bank and risk being exposed instead of operating remotely. Of course they wouldn’t prefer to show physic

FYI it turns out that humans are pretty bad at comparing faces to ID documents. Like, really quite bad. Automated methods, like the ones Revolut use, are significantly more effective at KYC than a Jane Doe working a 9-5 at a bank. In no way

Banking legislation in the UK does require them to tell you for this kind of breach.

Sure, but that would be like insanely stupid on pretty much every level though, so why would they do that?

Pouring a bottle requires rewriting paths embedded in binaries, which results in a cap. Postgres is an example of this: the various directories are set at build time.

Because counting the files is not an O(1) operation? It would be cool if it was, but that’s not reality?

Can you share some of the criticism? I’ve not seen any from anyone real.

> It runs them on pushes Sure, because pushes are how you update a reference. That’s really what triggers an action: a reference changing. And there could be a bunch of those in a push. A commit costs storage, you’ve got secret scanning,

Do you have some GitHub architectural knowledge you’d like to share with us? A push pushes commits and blobs and trees and tags. It’s an interesting metric to track, but the core unit of complexity (and expense) worth tracking on GitHub’s s

Claude code is for sure the most widely used bun application. So the majority of bun users are using it. That’s not what I’d call an internal beta?

I care about submitting reviewable code, because I care about my colleagues. That’s different from caring about the software you build.

Relative poverty and enforcement: if a cop accepts a bribe they can lose their job. It’s not worth accepting £20 (or even £2000) bribe and forfeit larger future earnings. So when bribes do happen it’s for much greater amounts (or nebulous,

There is more than 1 fatal airplane crash per month, FYI. Same for trains. Same for cars as well for that matter. How do you propose we travel safely?

To put it bluntly: that is complete nonsense. AWS has had more than 1 outage a year - is it not worth investing in? Are they not serious? Outages are just a specific kind of bug, often surfaced by the interactions of several discrete bugs.
