What? That simply is not true unless you mean "good" as in "good in spreading malware". lol

> We really don’t know what data is being accessed.

Thank you. I think there is a lot of assumption by everyone about that very thing.

They did and they were not allowed into the building.
sigzero··on 20k federal workers take "buyout" so far, official says
Well, their positions are funded (depending on how FY25 funds were allocated to the agency). The order just means they can potentially not come to work until September.
sigzero··on 20k federal workers take "buyout" so far, official says
They should have allowed more time to accept it AND explained more what it meant. An FAQ came out later but it was poorly implemented.
sigzero··on Shell-ish scripting in Go with ease
It is. Very much so.
sigzero··on Every HTML Element
Correct, it is only modal if JavaScript is used.

It is not T'is, it is Tis. No apostrophe.

I don't think Go was trying to capture that space really.

Nah, OS/2 was visually better.
sigzero··on Speeding up Ruby by rewriting C in Ruby
No, because Java is #2, C++ is #4, C# is #7. People just really like Python for what it brings to the table.
sigzero··on DuckDuckGo donates $25k to the Perl and Raku Foundation
Raku is Perl on steroids "basically". It is still pretty slow the last I read something on it. I always enjoyed Perl even as a beginner.
sigzero··on The zoology and biochemistry of xenomorphs from the Alien franchise
It doesn't just mean "alien". It's a portmanteau or blend word. Only the xeno part means alien. The morph part describes its growth process.

The vast majority of people would not buy those.
sigzero··on Visual Basic 6 IDE recreated in C#

I went to the doctor recently. I usually take what I am taking so they can see it. I was taking Sudafed and had just purchased it. She took it out of my hand and told me basically all that and threw it in the trash.

UltraEdit is really good with large files.
sigzero··on Scientists predict and witness evolution in a 30-year marine snail experiment
He is talking about what most people do, MACRO evolution or one species becoming another. That doesn't happen. Micro evolution does happen and this was just observing that (finally).
sigzero··on Evolution in real time: Scientists see evolution in 30-year snail experiment
MICRO evolution. Never was in question but cool to see it observable.
sigzero··on Bitwarden SDK relicensed from proprietary to GPLv3
KeepassXC also doesn't have templates for things. It's in the works. When it comes out I might take another look at it.

That price though makes it a nope.

You mean that there is no such thing as "luck"?

I don't think the OP was making that point just that Google is now USING Kotlin.
