Yes this is kinda my point. Instead of having a few projects/org, it's a constellation of packages too small, it's impossible to know who you depend on when adding a dependency.

The biggest problem is not software but culture, not at npm, but in the js ecosystem. The js ecosystem is simply a juicy targets, the attack surface is enormous. The attacker can make their attack more sophisticated, there will always be a maintainer that can seed the worm spread.

Meanwhile in the nuget ecosystem is way smaller and have way less mainteners involved for a single given dependency.

nuget have targets, and allow to run code on build, it doesn't have this problem because there is less dependencies.

Mosts packages manager, allow that.

pnpm can still be exposed, afterall the worm simply have to wait you run tests locally.

I do not believe that Qwant can produce something good, they always were a company to extract money from the french taxpayer to wrap bing results.

It's not the visa/mastercard that offer chargeback, but the bank.

I didn't managed to find the tests. How can we know that the tests are actually reasonable in this case ?

They are not used in europe. The first time I saw one was in Japan last week.

We have portable triangle reflector in Europe that are in every truck or car.

It may seems that a terrible idea, but I think that's good to run quick scripts. It means you can delegate some uninteresting parts the AI is likely to succeed at.

For example, connecting to endpoints, etc... then the logic of your script can run.

Were the middle class, but what people think of middle class today, doesn't apply to what it was back then.

> The bourgeoisie are a class of business owners, merchants and wealthy people, in general, which emerged in the Late Middle Ages, originally as a " middle class" between the peasantry and aristocracy. They are traditionally contrasted with the proletariat by their wealth, political power, and education, as well as their access to and control of cultural, social, and financial capital.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourgeoisie

Today the meaning of bourgeoisie, still applies to "business owners, merchants and wealthy people", but is now seen as upper class.

> The American and French revolutions originated in the middle classes.

I don't know about the american revolution, but that's wrong for the french revolution. I'll link to french wikipédia pages since they are far better on the subject. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89tats_g%C3%A9n%C3%A9raux_... Here we can see the first National Assembly was half nobility and clergy. The third estate was the other half.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiers_%C3%A9tat > Par ailleurs, les députés du tiers état aux états généraux représentaient essentiellement la bourgeoisie[2].

Which indicate that the majority of the third estate representative were bourgeois.

It's been at least 10 years that google translate had hallucinations. Some translation simply change depending of a ponctuation mark. But peoples complain only now that they heard about AI.

Of course it's not perfect, but I agree that we didn't had a machine translation as good before.
