Not a content creator and use it regularly. My algorithm is mostly silly stuff, music, etc. I'm not convinced there's a discernible risk to national security, and as someone with a lot of libertarian views, I think the ban is an overstep by the US government.

The "sticky"-ness is real, but many will flock to the TikTok copies in other platforms like Instagram, Facebook, X, anyway.

Regardless, I enjoy the platform. It's fun to reference the viral sounds/trends on the platform with other friends that use it.

New comment by scinerio in "The day I canceled my Spotify subscription"

My biggest peeve of Spotify is the feature discrepancy between mobile/desktop. Two examples:

    1. On mobile, you can see the top trending podcast episode.

    2. On mobile, you can filter liked songs by *some* genres.

Why? These seem like fairly trivial features to implement across both platforms. You have hundreds of devs. Wtf is going on over there?

IMO fasting won't help the majority of the population since their diets tend to consist of foods that are designed to be highly consumable at volume. While the theory of time-restricted eating implies you will eat less, you can still easily exceed your TDEE in calories.

Skip the fasting; exercise and eat real whole foods. It's pretty difficult to do both of those things and not lose weight.

How feasible is 3D animation like this as a hobby? Could one expect to learn and create decent quality outputs without a substantial sacrifice to sleep/work/etc.?

Speaking strictly on semantics, why does open source have to also mean free? I've heard the term "FOSS" for over a decade now, and it very clearly separates the "free" and "open source" parts.

Releasing with this model allows for AI-based creativity while still protecting Meta as a company. I feel like it makes plenty sense for them to do this.

A world-class education system where you can leave the $200k in debt and never exceed $100k in income.

We're at a point where going into college for non-STEM degree can (and likely will be) one of the biggest mistakes of your life.

It's free for universities who can rest easy knowing that if students don't pay then it doesn't affect them.

So where are the "OG" users going?

This seems like a much more effective protest vs. subreddits going dark.

This is an interesting option. I'd assume the added friction for an average user will drop the Apollo user base drastically, but it would still allow it to stay alive.

Less features and less user friendly.

Interesting! Thanks for responding. Sounds like it's bridging SAST and threat modeling.

How does this compare with Semgrep, which to my understanding is the dominating open-source SAST offering to date?

scinerio — Thu, 05 Jan 2023 14:38:38 +0000

I personally find that lack of character and inflections has completely turned me off of audiobooks in favor of podcasting. The typical monotone audio narration causes me to zone out into other thoughts and I find myself rewinding or just turning it off.

Ah, thank you. It's not entirely clear whether this is something baked into Gitlab Ultimates SAST CI/CD feature/template, or if it's a third party that I would have to license first. Do you happen to know?

Will this ever be integrated with Gitlab Ultimate?

These ratings are intended to serve as a baseline for the severity of the issue at hand. If you expect a base CVSS score to provide the answer to "how does this affect me" then you need to learn more about CVSS.

Namely, you should be taking the base CVSS score and including the temporal and environment metrics to actually determine your organizational risk. A base 9.x could easily be driven to low based on the access, exploitability, and CIA requirements for the system at hand.
