No, only those that were deemed "active" in 2024 will be kept.

The lack of concurrent access support in the official HDF5 library (the only implementation with full format support) can be a major drawback. There is ongoing work on that front [1] though it's unclear when it will land.

New comment by jsploit in "Scrum Sucks"

> estimate in points (relative size to something you've already done), emphasis on consistent estimates for each dev.

> capture total velocity every 2 weeks and eventually use the avg for future planning

This aspect of scrum has never made sense to me. Planning with average velocity turns points into an obfuscated time estimate - why use points at all?

> Research shows that 95% of the permissions granted to users aren't used which creates huge problems and is a reason for spending millions in security tools.

It'd potentially cost millions more to recover from a GPT-4 disaster.

> they were going to redirect donations intended for Canadian protesters to other (likely left leaning) causes

Per the article you linked, donors have two weeks to request a refund, and any remaining funds will be redirected to causes chosen by the Freedom Convoy organizers:

> Donors have until Feb. 19 to ask for a refund, and the rest of the money the group raised would be allocated to “credible and established charities” chosen by Freedom Convoy organizers, the site said.

> I was able to use them to enumerate a bunch of storage, dig out more keys

That's unethical and likely criminal without explicit testing authorization (which it appears you didn't have).

I wonder if there are any examples of "researchers" being sued/prosecuted for stunts like this.

I don't understand where this conclusion is coming from as it doesn't seem Andrey raised any concerns with colorette prior to his aggressive actions.
