TIL that there's no post-push hook for git, and my flabbers are absolutely gasted...

It's almost as if millions of vibe coder voices cried out, and were suddenly silenced...

Introducing Claude Code Security, now in limited research preview.

It scans codebases for vulnerabilities and suggests targeted software patches for human review, allowing teams to find and fix issues that traditional tools often miss.

Whoever handles the authentication workflow for @Microsoft online services should be fired, immediately. Quickly followed by the head designer for their family safety app suite. Continues to be the worst experience ever, year after year.

@wrccdc I have it on very good authority that at least one of the FAANG companies uses the WRCCDC PCAP's...

WinRAR suffers a double Sherlock... but hey, at least we're keeping their streak strong...

[Department of Government Efficiency @DOGE]

Agencies often have more software licenses than employees, and the licenses are often idle (i.e. paid for, but not installed on any computer). For example, at GSA, with 13,000 employees, there are:
- 37,000 WinZip licenses
- 19,000 training software subscriptions (and multiple parallel training software platforms)
-7,500 project management software seats for a division with 5,500 employees
- 3 different ticketing systems running in parallel

Fixes are actively in work.

I'm always in awe of how incredibly bad the Microsoft @Office Teams UI is, and seems to worsen each time I have to infrequently use it. The app won't even start now, so my rating is currently "N/A".

If it wasn't license bundled, this app would have failed years ago.

@RyanEls4 Forget Java or JavaScript. Python is older than Linux.

learning a bitter lesson once again: never talk to the press, their goal is just to make you sound crazy smdh my danged hands

in a time of universal polished modern design, using a <marquee> tag is a revolutionary act

@iavins I meant ULID, not UUID4, lol. I'll stop solving now.

[James Schneider @disturbedmime]

@iavins Write a known marker file with the ID every 10K or so, so if ID%10000 == 0, update the file, then you'll have a close starting point within 10000 (or whatever interval makes sense), then gallop search from there

[James Schneider @disturbedmime]

@mprestifilippo @iavins Requires an extra write per operation, which is expensive as OP noted. The marker file is referenced (read) infrequently, only during process crash restart or recovery.

[James Schneider @disturbedmime]

@iavins Or just switch to UUID4 and never think about this again.
