Adding entropy to the internet, as if it really needed it.

@steveruizok @tldraw On one hand you’re right, on the other… “high -trust network” is every network until it becomes rich enough that it gets hammered with attacks and you’re forced to move to “zero-trust”.
High trust is the larval stage of the zero trust butterfly.

@Nicolas_Colin @MacaesBruno @nytimes The answer is Tordesillas and I’m always surprised about how many well-educated French people never heard about it

This is either brilliant or scary:

Anthropic accidentally leaked the TS source code of Claude Code (which is closed source). Repos sharing the source are taken down with DMCA.

BUT this repo rewrote the code using Python, and so it violates no copyright & cannot be taken down!

New supply chain attack this time for npm axios, the most popular HTTP client library with 300M weekly downloads.

Scanning my system I found a use imported from googleworkspace/cli from a few days ago when I was experimenting with gmail/gcal cli. The installed version (luckily) resolved to an unaffected 1.13.5, but the project dependency is not pinned, meaning that if I did this earlier today the code would have resolved to latest and I'd be pwned.

It's possible to personally defend against these to some extent with local settings e.g. release-age constraints, or containers or etc, but I think ultimately the defaults of package management projects (pip, npm etc) have to change so that a single infection (usually luckily fairly temporary in nature due to security scanning) does not spread through users at random and at scale via unpinned dependencies.

@wrathofgnon @koality_bear There are many Haussmannian buildings with separate stairwells for access to the top floor (chambres de bonnes). Depends mostly on how rich was the neighborhood. In the 18th it would have been mostly shared.

@fdoddridge @culturaltutor No it doesn’t

@patrickc Not quite in range, but Jacques Barzun's "From Dawn to Decadence: 500 Years of Western Cultural Life" was published when he was 93 and it's brilliant

@CXGonzalez We don’t do breakfast in Portugal. It’s an espresso and maybe a toast dripping in butter. Croissants and bread with chocolate are for tourists. There’s an enormous delicious meal waiting for you at 1pm. If you have an American breakfast you won’t have space left for that.

@random_walker Yammer was nothing like Slack. It was a bad facebook clone. It’s still there. And the world is still not ready for it.

@69thWizard @JPHampstead @bigbrotherXBT @RayDalio This map has no connection to any historical reality. It’s an alternate history exercise and a pretty bad one at that, possibly sourced from https://t.co/YpJbuC8ijC

@gppeixoto @Carnage4Life That sounds like 17 different teams delivering real value to me.

@RichardZimler @ArthurAsseraf Colder still in Paris. Thankfully the Little Ice Age buildings of the Pletzl have better thermal insulation than the drafty dwellings of my countrymen.

[Rodrigo Eliseu @rodeliseu]

@RichardZimler @ArthurAsseraf I’d also like @RichardZimler to write my professional emails and maybe a novel or two if it’s not too much trouble. Thanks!

@lsanger @FdsPhilippe @Austen Portugal would be 36% religious and almost $30k GDP, i.e. sitting close to and below the trend line, a bit to the right of Poland. So no.
