Redis is not a database. It’s a key / value store.

Well trump mobile almost definitely doesn't have a network, systems, or infrastructure to begin with. So I guess they are technically correct.

You can also define required dependencies in a doc block at the top of the file and then just “uv run main” and it will automatically install and cache any dependencies and run. https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/scripts/

You can just start claude with the —chrome flag too and it will connect to the chrome extension.

I think this is what the Ralph Wiggum plugin is for. It just repeatedly reprompts the llm with the same prompt until it is fully complete or something along those lines.

You put a CDN in front of it and heavily cache when serving to external customers

No, it says it is restricted. You need to set a private attribute on the webview to enable it. And if you interact with private APIs your app will be rejected in review.

New comment by thefreeman in "ICEBlock handled my vulnerability report in the worst possible way"

thefreeman — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 13:33:23 +0000

It also barely meets the definition of "a vulnerability report". He basically just nmap scanned the server and googled the apache version. The "critical" vulnerability he linked requires controlling a backend server being reverse proxied through apache... so completely irrelevant. I didn't read every CVE for the apache version but I am doubtful there is anything that actually allows taking over the server there.

Just because you are comfortable with one technology and inexperienced or unfamiliar with another does not make one better than the other. How much rails have you written in your career? How much react?

maybe make the person solve it first, and then they can see the leaderboard / successful prompts and try to refine their answers? without being eligible for the leaderboard.
