NewType works great 2/2

Better quality Python code? Type hints help. But don't use anymore direct type aliases. Type checking is bad. Prefer using typing.NewType. #python #codequality 1/2

No one asked him in 1942 @WhiteHouse to say thank you. No one told him that he had no cards. No one made fun of his outfit. Back then, everyone knew we were on the side of freedom and against tyranny. Today, those lines tragically are blurred.

@davidfowl How about path equality checks, file systems may be different on how they tolerate letter case differences. Could that be handled also together with the type?

[David Fowler @davidfowl]

Path should be a first-class type in every programming language.

The xz backdoor is, well, setting a fire under the entire Linux ecosystem... but I'm also so impressed with how it was set up: 2-yr maintainership, oss-fuzz, etc.

...and who knows how long it would've stayed undetected if the injected sshd code ran faster (<600ms)

@ChShersh Compatibility is hard. I value grep highly.

[Ville Laitila @villeez]

@sandeepssrin I think we should first dump Cobol. Btw, does C++ have anything similar to Log4J?

@timpoiko Se varmasti olisi turvallinen prosessi jos järjestelmät on turvalliseksi tehty.

Any estimates what is the year when voice changer gets integrated to iPhone telephony application to protect against voice cloning (when call is coming from an unknown number)? #iphone #security #voice #ai #scams

[Ville Laitila @villeez]

@coderabbitai Nice to see more innovation around code review automations. Nice work. Check also @SoftagramLtd

[Ville Laitila @villeez]

@timpoiko Nope. It was just a single weird situation. The only way to get past that was to hold power button for 15 sec.
