You make a good point, my comment above probably overstates things.

For sure sandboxing and isolation is feeling increasingly relevant regardless, but crypto theft is acting as a good sponge.

If the sole purpose of this hack was to steal cryptocurrency, a silver lining might be, as in many similar cases, that if you stay away from that particular dumpster fire you are probably okay. I mean there's still a reverse shell on your machine to fix, but at least nothing of value was lost.

Version 2.1.313 is also missing from the official VS Code marketplace (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=anthropi...). This suggest to me that it was published and pulled, which means it was Antrophic that was hacked.
Version 2.1.313 is missing from the official Claude Code GitHub repo's CHANGELOG[0]. There's also no tag[1] for 2.1.313[1], but 2.1.312[2], and 2.1.314[3] exist.

The US could make IDs free and then make election day a national holiday, in which case the resistance to ID requirements probably wouldn't be as strong. Currently voter ID laws will suppress voting, whereas the goal in a democracy should surely be that everyone has ample opportunity to vote and have their voice heard.

The compiler already does this.
Compare https://rust.godbolt.org/z/osMY8777W and https://rust.godbolt.org/z/azGjbbzc8. I'm not sure why the inlining doesn't happen in the case when we do use the Debug implementation though.

I was under the impression the underlying issue has been patched. If it hasn't, this page and their initial blog post seem irresponsible. If it has indeed been patched why not provide a detailed write up?

I've been reading Steven Pinker's "The Sense of Style". Unlike "The Elements of Style", which is fine, it does a good job anchoring its suggestion in first principals. I do think I need to read a book on grammar to truly appreciate it though.
"On Writing" is another book like "The Elements of Style", both are too prescriptive, albeit not useless.

The one thing you'd expect on a website like this: how the exploit works, is missing.
The entire thing feels like marketing.

Even outside of the current administration, isn't BLS data notorious for being adjusted after the fact, often downwards? Basing reporting on fresh BLS data seems ill-advised.

I have a slightly different take on the loss of changelogs, although I agree with the version in this post.
My gripe[0] is developers using GitHub’s “releases” feature in lieu of a CHANGELOG.md. This feels particularly pertinent in light of GitHub’s recent performance woes.

The critique is more that the average, or at least loud, C programmer is resistant to fixing these problems (for example via Rust) and often arrogantly claim it's just a skill issue.

With the exception of the C++ case, these all seem to result in DDOS which, while bad, are barely security issues. It speaks to the difference between C and these other languages (Go, Python, Rust).

It's because everything Republicans say is projection. They want to cheat, so accuse the Democrats of doing it first. In actuality it's the current admin that's laying gound-work for election fraud in November.

Looks beautiful, congrats on the launch! I've been looking for a replacement for my Apple Magic keyboard. I would love to buy one, but ISO layout is a must for me, also would like blank or swappable keycaps.
