Re:NPM debug and chalk packages compromised on Monday September 08, 2025 @01:54PM (#45171532)
>npm is just amateur-hour

Understatement of the year. When a project/ecosystem is more interested in putting virtue signaling trolls like Ashley "Kill all men" Williams in leadership positions versus actual technologists, it shows.

Both can be true: this can be a targeted raid by an administration obsessed with petrol powered vehicles, and the Korean workers are working illegally.
>You believe a state propaganda feed? In 2025??

"Trust the experts!"

>Much more likely? 450 koreans working here legally but not carrying papers on them because american is supposed to be a free country.

The facts will inevitably be: hundreds Korean nationals were illegally working in the US. The correction will be a small blurb somewhere, posted months from now, after the next fake new outrage comes about.

You gonna harvest the cotton bro?

Emancipated and freed up slaves during peak harvest season. Genius move right there.

No need to be any more specific. The only mass migration into the country over the past decade that appeared to be facilitated by the last admimistration was an illegal one.

Rust gets at least a 1000x more usage than Zig, so their infrastructure costs are not as bad in comparison.

>A) that’s simply untrue.

Wrong, it's simply true. Solar panels use land poorly, the MW per unit area is poor.

>You can grow crops and graze under the panels

Agrovoltaics accounts for less than 0.5% of commercial solar installations in rural lands. Effectively no one is doing this, it's not cost effective. You can't fit tractors/combines between the panels.

>And tend not to be put up on your own land without your consent.

What do you mean? No one is putting pump jacks on property without the owners consent.

Pump jacks use an order of magnitude less space.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, but for the people in the back: "Open source is not a business model!" As RMS has stated on multiple occasions, it's not a business model and has never been a business model. It is a model to enshrine software freedoms. Nothing more, nothing less.

There's a reason why some call MIT/BSD licenses "cuck licenses." If you don't want others to profit off your hard work... don't pick a license that lets other profit off your work...

>Who is opposing the terms allow/deny and why?

I am. As a BIPOC, we've been denied rights since the founding of the US. When I read "denylist," I can see my ancestors there, on a list to be denied the right to vote. It's not inclusive to use words like "deny" in the capacity of denying access to things.

If I don't know something, I don't make statements such as "Apple, Nvidia, and Google all have significant chip manufacturing operations..." a bit of humility goes much longer way than this.

  After she reported her brother’s abuse to police in 2010, naval investigators questioned Jeremy, who was stationed overseas. He admitted everything.

  In a statement to naval lawyers, Jeremy detailed the abuse of his sisters and admitted to inappropriately touching his third sister and two other non-family members when he was a teenager.
He started abusing children when he was 11, and continued into his teenage years.

"Giveaway?" This isn't some secret, everyone knows the military depends on x86 processors, and having a company that can produce them domestically is a national security concern.

>Earlier this year, the utility that serves both Thomas and Salvi, Florida Power & Light, applied for a rate increase that would have boosted bills for a typical South Florida resident by about 13% over the next four years.

That is quite a bit less than inflation over the past four years.

Most of that time you are a grown man, but not legally an ADULT. Teenagers are old enough to know raping children is bad.

Hacker culture is and has always been anti-Marxist and anti-Communist by nature, at least the version that grew in the west. It was an offshoot of hippie culture in the 60s, grew in the 80s phreaking scene, and highly entangled with libertarian open source in the early to mid 90s.

Being in tech and partnering with the US Army on 2025 is counterculture.
