The prosecutors will recommend a sentence of 57 months probation, including home detention, based on Singla being diagnosed with “a rare and incurable form of cancer” and “a potentially dangerous vascular condition”
Damn, if that ain’t karma. Fuck over a hospital and its patients, get the worst kind of cancer.
Don’t worry, there isn’t proof in the article either. There’s a snippet of code out of context, and a video that, while it shows a loading delay, doesn’t show the code being executed.
Hmm. I’m not sure what the advantage would be over just creating communities on existing instances, then, if someone else is still going to be the admin.
Seriously, though, this is really cool. But maybe some biologist can fill me in, what are the side-effects of this? Would it also reduce the useful stores of cholesterol? Or are we just fixing a mutation that causes heart problems?
Some people care more about having fancy tools than actually doing work with them.
On reddit, I used to subscribe to the VS Code subreddit. A lot of posts were just about themes, people asking “what theme is this” or posting their latest minor recolor. Meanwhile, I’m there for posts about actually using the damn thing.
Because otherwise they couldn’t justify their continued work on things nobody asked for.
Also, those letter combinations are called ligatures, and are generally a bad idea in monospace fonts. The point of them is to make it very clear where one character ends and the next one begins.
You say it’s far from reality, but I’m speaking from experience. I was responsible for maritime life safety systems. When those systems were implemented, they were tested and qualified for use. It didn’t matter how many updates came out, if they weren’t qualified, they didn’t get deployed. If I had deployed an update that hadn’t been qualified, it would have put lives at risk, such as by causing issues with ship detection or man overboard alerts not going off.
If you want to get really into it, like the systems that run aircraft and nuclear reactors, look up formal verification.
No. If you’re working with life-critical systems, you only apply patches that are relevant to you. For example, an implantable insulin pump with Bluetooth capability. If there’s a patch that changes the Bluetooth functionality, but you don’t use that functionality, there’s no point in applying the patch.
Does a “warning, cert issued by a government agency” count as additional validation?
Or maybe everyone is going to use cert pinning now. Or Firefox is going to stop trusting all CAs and make you verify each CA yourself. Which is a terrible idea for the average user.

On its own, it’s not. But it’s going to be one step on the path to shit-town.
