Thanks for this writeup! It seems like #1 was the real weakness. Have you identified how the attacker was able to get write access to tj-actions/changed-files? Did this discovery result in any changes to how people can contribute to the project?

Mexico’s claim is that the US doesn’t have claim to the entire body of water. It should technically show Gulf of America at the top where the US border extends to and also show Gulf of Mexico below that.

That said the whole thing is childish and stupid and a distraction from the massive grift being perpetrated on the American people right now.

On top of that, y’all are great in the community. You’ve hosted my tech meetup before and I know you host others as well.

Really like the aesthetic. I’d love to be able to set custom text for a yes/no habit. Myself and a bunch of friends do daily “RPM” - read, pray, meditate. I’d capture that at one yes/no habit

I set up a local job recruiters network with netware 386 running over arcnet (2 mbps) in 1989.

I use the resettable rocket wave notebook for my work journal.

Aside from reinforcing ideas and helping figure things out on paper, it’s perfect to jump back into a task that’s been interrupted.

The other trick with it is to keep a running todo list from the back page in.

The moment a disruptive thought pops into my head that I need to revisit, I flip to the back, capture it, and flip back to where I was.

Bash fork bomb. In fact, I have the tshirt.

This is cool. I wrote a TOTP authenticator for the ArduBoy: https://developer.okta.com/blog/2018/08/30/build-one-time-pa...

Friends don’t let friends build auth. Use open source, standards compliant solutions if you don’t trust a company. Just don’t reinvent the wheel.

One of my first paid jobs was in the summer of my college freshman year, 1988, I did some consulting work for an insurance salesman. He had an ibm 8086 based machine and it was taking 15 hours to run an insurance estimate.

I got him an 8087 math coprocessor and it reduced the time to about 10 minutes. I think it cost around $500 at the time.

I made my first $50 in tech, an his business was demonstrably improved. What a thrill!

This is a really great summary (with reference links) of the problem.

As an anecdotal experience that supports this: I’ve ordered products from Instagram ads exactly twice, with the same experience in each case: a higher quality, lower price alternative was available elsewhere. And, in both cases, the products shipped from overseas and took weeks to arrive.

In 1988, I had a friend in my computer science program who got some local notoriety when he made a spell checker for DOS. It was a terminate and stay resident program and it used a tiny bit of the available 640K of RAM.

We were all pretty amazed by it. He got some seed money to start a business and then was crushed like a year later when it was just built into wordstar.

On tmobile, in the US, it’s definitely worse. I usually leave the cell settings to LTE on my iPhone. Occasionally, I’ll switch to 5G Auto. When I get the “uc” symbol next to the 5G, it’s often faster, but not always. I’d say I have a 30% hit rate on 5G where the speed is noticeably better. But as others have said, often I can’t get a web page to loaf even with the phone reporting full signal strength.

“Employees will have up to 3 years to exercise their options post-exit.”

That’s pretty remarkable, actually

forgive me if this is a dumb question, but at some point of proliferation, won't wind turbines have an impact on wind flow?

Nvidia's lack of support for Wayland really hurts linux desktop adoption.

It's especially bad new if there's no more x.org support

Love that idea. Although, the original Gameboy is a little bulky to carry around ;)
