Unfortunately this isn't all black-and-white. There are some bug bounty where the company is very eager not to pay any bounty, aggressively marking vulnerabilities as out-of-scope or working-as-intended.

In those case you already lose time, but in the future you would also lose money.

Unfortunately you don't know how a company will react before submitting, especially if it's a small one.

> or asking OpenAI where they get data to train their models

Yes I know it comes from pirating/torrenting/scrapping. Are you saying you acknowledge your IPs come from malware, and that is OK because OpenAI is shady too?

Do they say how do they have access to those IPs? Most residential IPs are malware-infected devices.

It shows that the choices/philosophy chosen by Zig isn’t the right one and that memory safety is still too boring/hard to handle at scale.

can you expand on what makes you think being too decentralised is a negative?

The article skip over the results? Did the design succeeded? Which hardware do miner uses, and is it evenly distributed? Can I mine Monero on potato hardware?

> [To lib authors] Nobody is obviously in charge in the way a fast-moving production team would mean "in charge," and that creates understandable hesitation around making breaking changes, even when experience has taught us better ways to design these systems.

> This is not a complaint about volunteer maintainers. It is simply one of the ambient risks of building serious systems on a smaller ecosystem.

And so instead of paying the lib authors who already have domain expertise and know their codebase, they chose to rewrite it from scratch/fork without contributing back. So classic.

Honest question, does Uber need that much R&D? And do they expect the ROI to be positive?

Patches / PR

> It’s probably the core reason developers choose GitHub as their main git forge. I get it. It does have it’s advantages of giving a better experience for reviewing a set of changes. Initially. But what if I told you there was a time when submitting email-based patches was the standard for version control?

The author explains well how you can bear with patches, but not why patches were chosen in the first place. What advantages do they have over PR? I see none, and I won't lose my precious time working-around an inferior process to Github's already subpar PR one.

This should really what LLM ought to bring in terms of security. Be able to break things faster considering it is now easier for the maintainers to fix them.

This has downsides of course, moving further into the "everything rot so fast these days" trope, but we will in a adversarial world where the threat is constantly evolving.

Tomorrow (today) the servers and repo won't be scanned by scripts anymore but by increasingly capable models with knowledge about more security issues than many searchers.

And the migrations. Or rather all the half-started migrations that never get through meaning you have to deal with api v1,2,3 all the times.

Those are pervasive in any old and large project but in my experience especially so in compilers.

I’ve never understood why insider insight was forbidden, the point of prediction market is betting on the outcome based on information you have.

Is that ‘fair’ for everyone? No! Because no everyone has access to the same level of information. But no one forces you to bet either.
