They progressively replaced all the default apps with the Google alternatives.
A Chrome-Chromium type split was only a matter of time.
Might be that I changed, might be that the content changed.
I feel that my preferences are generally quite aligned with the bulk of HN readers...
The attacker was trying to compromise agentkit and found changed-files used in the repo so looked around. Found that it was using a bot with a PAT to release.
Totally possible the bot account had a weak password, and the maintainer said it didn't have 2FA.
They got the release bot PAT so they tried possibly quite an obvious vector that. They didn't need anything sophisticated or to exfil the credentials because agentkit is public.
It just so happened that it was detected before agentkit updated dependencies.
It's possible that with if thye had checked the dependabot config they could've timed it a bit better so that it's picked up in agentkit before being detected.
edit: Although, I don't think PATs are visible after they're generated?
a) you'd need write permissions for the original remote
b) even if you did, that'd push the commit to the original repo with the tags
It's got a lot of ads, traffic arbitrage, floating unrelated videos and even back jacking...
I don't think that's possible.
Forks are a GitHub UI construct.
There would be two .git dirs so for all intents and purposes they're two repos that don't know about each other.
Locally you can't refer to a commit that's in a different dir...
Some examples:
- Change the way standups are done - Do something not directly related to the team - Do debt - Change / take over the way a project is being done
In general it worked well because either I had a good idea in which case I'd often get the agency to do it, or perhaps not directly but a path towards it or it wasn't and I learnt something.
- fear of original ideas = cognitive conservatism = preference towards bias
And kind of opposites:
- decision anxiety = results from, or brings about, too much measuring
So, I guess those can be digested to say that engineers are:
- Innovative - Make informed decisions
If it's accepted, it's posted.
Not only would this be more user-friendly preventing random slop but would probably allow them to collect a non-negligible amount of feedback for training.
The likelihood that this doesn't survive till August is much more significant than you imagine.
The likelihood that it dies a few months after you leave is greater still.
Take the 3% as schmuck insurance and move on with your life.
On the other hand, a one time fee for analytics I could deploy on my server a) makes financial sense for you and b) is an intriguing value proposition for me.

Strange in the current context that it's not in the Middle East but not strange when you look at the map and see that it's a straight shot for a trading ship from the Middle East a thousand years ago.
RubyMine is great.
