I’ve also read that a first version of the file came from a Common Lisp to C++ code generation step: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23295041>

I’ve always used Ctrl+U, it’s an Emacs shortcut, so it works in many shells and other prompts (especially since readline supports it) by default.

(For example Ctrl+Opt+- doesn’t seem to work in the Python REPL whereas Ctrl+U does.)

Also, Bonjour originated at Apple and it is cross-platform, although Avahi probably is more popular

CUPS is associated with Apple as well, but it seems that it also did not originate there

You need to merge the relevant ignore files to create one specific for you, so if you use VSCode on macOS VisualStudioCode.gitignore (e.g., .vscode) + macOS.gitignore (e.g., .DS_Store). There are files for other OSs and editors as well. Technically their README says that the Global folder is intended for user-specific ignore files. But you can still use them for the repo .gitignore.

There is also this API which you can curl: https://gitignore.io/api/macos,vscode

Some of the templates seem to be identical, but I think they are not in sync.

I am looking for work in other domains as well.

Happy to provide you with a full CV personally.

We also do not create a CVE for curl because you can use it to download the wrong bash script. If this was an alert for suspicious usages of pip instead of pip itself, I’d be less critical of it.

E: and if you decide not to use pip I don’t think there’s an official way to remove ensurepip, I typically rm -rf inside of site-packages, it works but doesn’t feel correct

I hope your team was OK with you uninstalling the VMware package manually (this is actually not a bad outcome if you don’t use that package)

There are also ridiculous CVEs like CVE-2018-20225 for pip, which will not get fixed as that behaviour is by design (but here as well it might be a good idea to strip pip if it’s not used)

> It turns out that only 9 of the first 275 checks that I've sent out since the beginning of 2006 have actually been cashed. The others have apparently been cached. So this change in policy will probably not affect too many people. On the other hand, I don't like to renege on promises, so I shall do my best to find a suitable way to send money to anyone who really prefers legal tender.
