New comment by kittoes in "CISA Admin Leaked AWS GovCloud Keys on GitHub"

Is that really a concern though in the same way API keys are? Since when do OAuth clients store refresh tokens in areas that LLMs regularly scan? API keys are truly passwords, while refresh tokens are exchanged for a password.

Sure, a leak would be bad but I'd argue that it's orders of magnitude less likely compared to the accepted norm.

This can be done in Azure using Entra (OAuth). I don't have API keys, or passwords of any kind, anywhere in the stack.

Interesting that you focus on John Oliver's bit considering that it came up in the context of JD Vance doubling down on the whole "they're eating the cats and dogs thing".

Makes me believe that you're really not commenting in good faith here.

I simply cannot recommend a Pinecil + compatible 20A battery pack enough. Not being tied to a socket is amazing and the device is good to go in literally seconds!

Nebula is actually quite a decent alternative/supplement to YouTube and worth the subscription IMHO.

How close do you think this is? Deploys everything but the actual backend/frontend code.

This just can't be your answer to everything... the article clearly stated that they're developing a client application for browsers. Rust advocates like yourself are really doing more harm than good by ignoring real world constraints.

Chords and arpeggios apply to typing as well, is how stenographers type so fast.

Don't so easily dismiss the opinions of others. For certain individuals it is indeed the hardest game they've ever played. I've cleared Steelsoul 100% in the OG Hollow Knight and would argue that Silksong is definitely the more difficult of the two.

Cut the crap, 'cause you don't actually care. It's blatantly obvious that you're either pulling off a weak troll or are willfully ignorant.

I just found out about these last week and haven't received the hardware yet, so I can't give you real numbers. That said, one can probably expect at least a 10-30% penalty when the cards need to communicate with one another. Other workloads that don't require constant communication between cards can actually expect a performance boost. Your mileage will vary.

I made no such claim, merely pointed out the absurdity of focusing so much on Chicago while completely ignoring other places like Dayton. How come you're flat out ignoring the TWENTY other cities with a higher murder rate? It's completely disingenuous of you to focus on total murders when one surely understands that total population ultimately drives that value.

This just isn't true... none of the available data backs up these claims. Go back 10, 20, even 30 years and the trend has only lowered. Crime peaked in the early nineties and even the COVID spike didn't come close to that peak. If you're going to make such outlandish claims, then you'd better have something other than feels backing you.

Yet it isn't even in the top 20 cities for murder, nor the top 50 for overall crime. The only reason so many are focusing specifically on Chicago is because their cult leader told them to.

Blame Microsoft Research, as the link came directly from them: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/uncertainty.... I don't think they ever really took the project past the initial paper/presentation.

Unless you're supremely lucky, this kind of stuff is a hobby. One wishes that weren't the case, but capitalism is what it is...

I'd encourage you to generally ignore whether something has direct value or not because that's not how knowledge works. For example, I once spent well over a month implementing the NthWeekday function using nothing but basic arithmetic operations. This would allow us to calculate all federal holidays for a given year at runtime instead of precalculating the values and storing them in a table (which I hated, because it meant that someone had to maintain that table). This hyper-specific problem has near-zero direct value, but it was THE project that sparked my passion for maths.
