Re:Package Managers Need to Cool Down on Saturday March 07, 2026 @06:07PM (#47292363)
I think the premise is that modern scanners are really good at finding malicious code (and are run by dozens of companies in the industry), but when it gets pushed and installed inside of that 7 day window, the spread is uncontrolled. This basically gives you opportunity to let the machinery in the package ecosystem do it's job.
I'm also waiting on my ChatGPT data export. I started it last night and I'm still waiting. I would say there's huge opportunity here for Claude to offer direct import tooling.

fwiw, it would take 10 minutes to download a linux docker image and build it in go to test. The harder part is getting the information from a different API on Linux.
my thought was that if you get an alert that a key system is flapping in production, your first thought shouldn't be to squelch the alert.
Seattle is complex in this regard as the elevation changes between neighborhoods are an additional dimension. If I was living at the base of Lower Queen Anne and the "facilities" meeting the 15m criteria was at the top, that's not something I would consider a viable walk.
What are the thoughts around capabilities like this for private/enterprise customers? Is the code available in an action that could be connected to private runners perhaps?

GoDaddy | 2 Mid Level Positions | Platform/Data Software Developers | Full-time remote ( Pacific/Mtn/Central mostly )

I'm the hiring manager for the Social Platform team at GoDaddy; we're building data pipelines and services (on AWS) to drive insights and connectivity to social networks for our GoDaddy customers. A huge number of our growing customer websites are built on how they interact with their customers on social networks, and we're building a team to facilitate the tools and data driven insights that power these new experiences. If you're into that and cloud-native tooling, we should talk: kperkins at godaddy dot com if you want to chat. The team is fully remote, and is going to stay that way.

You'd get rid of a working solution because of an implementation decision? I _love_ 1P, and I use it on Mac, Windows, Linux, and iOS, and it makes perfect sense that they standardize on Electron.
No they don't. Researchers propose they (the carmakers) do.

I can't even imagine the maintenance or repair considerations of a pack that's embedded inside of the frame or a monocoque chassis.

Lastly this isn't even an Ars article, it's from Wired. It really is a terrible click-bait headline. The article, imho isn't much better.

Re:Systemd: Don’t fallback to Google NTP and DNS on Thursday July 02, 2020 @10:57AM (#23713898)
I think it is a valid question when the defaults are google and there is a reasonable suggestion to not use google as the defaults in lieu of community or open-source options. When that question isn't answered (evaded) it's perfectly reasonable ask why.
My 7 and 9yo kids start school at 8:50am, and don't get off the bus until 4:30pm. It's ridiculous. They're young and need time off but because the district moved everyone back to make room for the High Schools now elementary kids aren't home until half past 4.

Not enough time for them to play in the afternoons now.

Article clearly explains that Tesla does not break out region sales, just world wide quarterly sales, so this number is an informed estimate.

> Well I'll give them credit for being able to recognize and reverse a mistake. That's a good sign for the future.

It's very concerning that they made that call in the first place. It should never have been reversed because they shouldn't have done it. I'm a huge fan of Tesla, but I can't help but say it feels completely chaotic atm.

And yet, Tesla has the third highest average selling price of all manufacturers. Clearly there is an expectations mismatch.
Re:Docker Enterprise Edition on Thursday March 02, 2017 @10:39AM (#13774790)
If you link deeper to the offerings for specific providers you get a bit more clarity. For example, Docker EE for AWS is $0.119 per node hour, or roughly $80/month per node.

> Most people have no desire to go to a theater anymore, so making people wait months to see a new film means they're going to try to find a way to see it sooner. If they released streaming alongside movie theater releases I would imagine you'd knock out 90%+ of the piracy out there.

Aside: Saw Pets with my kids this week; Large Soda is now more than a Bud Light at a Football game ($8). Consider me among those who would gladly stop going to the theater.

Re:Finally fired after 6 years on Monday June 06, 2016 @05:25PM (#11850535)
I think this is on the management as much as the employee. I'd hope employees look for more work to do as opposed to just taking a paycheck.
Re:Finally fired after 6 years on Monday June 06, 2016 @05:22PM (#11850510)
We've all had times where we're not fully invested in our work. Sometimes even weeks, maybe months in extreme circumstances. 6 years is absurdly bad. I can't imagine the management getting off lightly here either.
Re:Finally fired after 6 years on Monday June 06, 2016 @05:13PM (#11850442)
Instead of asking what else he can do, or provide more value or grow into more responsibility, he sat on his hands and played League all day?

I'm disappointed it took them 6 years to act on it.

People who find vulnerabilities purely for the bounty seem to fit the classical definition of Bounty Hunters or Mercenaries. Certainly not researches. They're not in it for the academic benefit or advancing the state of the art. They're in it for the cash.
As an older gamer, maybe it's time to start thinking about a "Champions" or "Seniors" leagues :D
Re:Coffeescript 1.9.0 contains a backwards incompatible change on Friday February 20, 2015 @10:09AM (#9080687)
I've felt for quite a while that we could have had a 4 octet semver that allows for a first octet romantic version while the others are proper semver.

For example: io.js version 1.2.0.0 instead of 1.3.0.

It would still be machine readable, but allows a human component (romantic version) to precede.

Thoughts?

At this point, why does anyone (that's knowledgeable enough to read this) have flash enabled?

Most likely it means that there's a newer V8 involved. Otherwise there's not a tremendous delta.

That's a new one. Usually it's rocket scientist or brain surgeon. What exactly does a rocket surgeon do? :)
