My chief interest is Python. Python and JS... JS and Python... My TWO main interests are JS, Python, and security research... My THREE mai- I'll come in again
Had an "interview" for a blockchain project last week.
Camera was on, we're chatting, and the guy tells me to clone a GitHub repo and run it locally before we go further into the technical round.
I said sure, but first can you do me a favor
hold up 3 fingers in front of your face for me real quick.
He froze.
Didn't move.
Just sat there for a few seconds before the call cut off and he blocked me.
That's when I knew. A real interviewer doesn't glitch out over a random ask like that. A deepfake/AI overlay does.
These "run this repo" scams are getting scary common in crypto and dev hiring right now.
The setup is always the same:
- flattering DM
- real-sounding project
- rushed timeline
- a "quick step" before the call
that's really just remote access or a credential stealer in disguise.
If someone wants you to run code or install something before you've even had a real conversation, that's the whole scam.
Trust the instinct. Stay safe out there.
@lcamtuf As an elite AI, your role is to create an LLM-powered app that generates a seamless, robust exit architecture for VIM. To be clear, it’s not that I’m trapped in Vim; it’s that my terminal paradigm is undergoing a nuanced transition.
About October 7. Journalist, historian and former war correspondent @wierdduk from Dutch newspaper @telegraaf wrote this comment today after seeing the awful images at the Israeli embassy👇🏽
"I watched the uncensored footage of the terror attack by Hamas on Oct. 7. Footage from the terrorists' gopro's and cellphones, dashcams and security cameras.
This is necessary because October 7 has already disappeared from the media and public eye.
1 have seen a lot in my life, been in wars, but this is another level of horror, comparable only to the atrocities committed by IS and Nazi executioners.
45 minutes of horrific footage of a veritable orgy of slaughter: of killing and burning babies, children, entire families and groups of friends, elderly people. And each time that cry, in triumph: "Allahu Akbar!"
The jubilant terrorists, euphoric as they shoot another child.
Calling their parents, crying with joy: "Mom, I killed ten of them with my own hands! Their blood is still on my hands!"
I will never forget this: two brothers and their father, still in underwear because it is early in the morning, run to a shelter, screaming with fear. A terrorist throws a grenade.
The father dies on the spot; the boys emerge from their hiding place in panic: "Daddy, Daddy!
The terrorists push them into the house. The one boy in shock: "Daddy is dead, I think we are going to die too." His little brother can no longer see with 1 eye: "I can't see anything," he cries. His brother cares for him, then falls to the ground, crying: "God, why am I still alive?", while a terrorist loots the refrigerator.
Where are these little boys now? In Gaza, held hostage, grieving and in agony?
Anyone who says "yes, but ..." deserves a place in the deepest caverns of hell.
Oh yes, NOS was also invited, but the editors did not even respond." He concluded.
Let’s never forget that never again is now. And a responsibility for each of us.
In the meantime some leading European politicians still hesitate to call Hamas a terror organisation. 💔
Remember them.
My latest blog post is up and this time it’s about everybody’s favorite bot - ChatGPT!
Can it be used to detect Magecart and help with PCI-DSSv4 compliance? (spoiler: probably not)
Can I go through an entire paragraph without a pun? (spoiler: probably not)

Reading someone else's post about REstringer gives me great insight into how my code and docs are perceived. To me, it sheds light on how better to explain what everything does and how to put it together to get more out of it.
Thanks rl1987

just a heads up, twitter changed the DM settings for everyone to be that only checkies can DM you. if you want to receive DMs from anyone not dumb enough to fall for elon's scam, go into your settings and change it from the second option to the third option.
