No polls so much as views + likes. What gets a reaction? What makes good TV? This seems to be all that matters.

Ping Pong is what you play for fun in the basement. The competitive sport is Table Tennis.

This is like software developers who write javascript wanting to be called engineers, isn't it

They're not even controlling a train or wearing a stripey hat. Losers.

You are right, I am wearing 2 stripey hats!

Erm, excuse me?

The professional engineering language is called TypeScript.

JavaScript is what you use to add popups to your GeoCities WebSite.

lol all you want. I’ve got 5 people on my team buying food and housing for their families with typescript skills.

It's great that they start somewhere in computers, kuddos to them.

The answer is Yes, this can be exploited from the outside by taking over dev machines and using their access.

If you answer No and complain that it’s not taken seriously, it’s at least in part because you didn’t show the risk clearly.


maybe a dumb idea , but maybe using some kind of one time token access would resolve ? some physical keycard would guarantee this to not happen at all right ?

There is always a disgruntled employee:) They will do anything to do maximum harm

If the argument for NoSQL is, “we don’t know what our schema is going to be”, stop.

Stop and go ask more questions until you have a better understanding of the problem.


Oftentimes better understanding of the problem needs trying out solutions. Armchair architectures tend to blow up in contact with reality.

For sure, though with databases it's usually pretty clear even at the start whether your "objects" will be relational in nature. I can't think of a single time that hasn't been the case, over hundreds of apps/services I've been part of. Things like asynchronous jobs, message queues, even object storage, I fully agree though.

Even a JSON column would be better in most cases IMO, and on Postgres you can also make indexes on json keys.

This balanced perspective on what’s good for someone personally vs what’s good for society at large is what’s missing from the world.


Any reasonable landlord/real estate investor will have planned for various results - if your rental empire depends on "rents go up" and can't handle a flat market, let alone a downturn, you're going to be in for a bad time.

A stable market is great; as you can find good deals with some sort of certainty, and focus on where you can actually build value (rehab, etc).


If you are smart, you throttle up investments just before a boom starts and throttle them back just before a boom ends. At least you try to up your margins during good times so you can survive bad times. The trick is keeping your talent employed during the bad times so they are trained up and still in the industry for good times. Stability is obviously preferable.


Sure, but you can feel some emergent philosophies that are starting to converge and there are recognizable aesthetics.


At least some responsibility lies with the white-hat security researcher who documented the vuln in a findable repo.

Build the audience first, attack comes later


find is provided by the OS, not a terminal emulator like Ghostty. Most likely something is wrong with your paths.


I think they mean like CTRL+F kind of find.

This is addressed in paragraph 5 of the post they replied to.


The terminal was _always awesome_, the bar to realized that was just a tad high for many people. Until now!


here-doc usage has probably 100x-ed in the last year


It's 1,000,000,000,000x easy. Have found enough annoying bugs in powershells implementation of it that I know nobody is using it.


How so?
