Which is perfect.
Only idiots "program" downloading crap from all over the Internet without checking. They deserve what's coming, they deserved log4j and deserved the removal of packages at the unquestionable judgment of the creator/maintainer.
Any "developer" who doesn't keep their own copy of dependecies and updates them manually when needed is a source of technical debt - and job security for the ones who get paid to fix their incompetence.

Wow, that article is sparse on details or real suggestions!

If you are, go elsewhere in search of an article that might help you decide which type of database is correct for your use case. This one won't help.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

While PolyCoder doesn’t match the performance of top code generators in every task, the researchers claim that PolyCoder is able to write in C with greater accuracy than all known models, including Codex. Can it code itself?
|

|
|
Not knowing the capabilities of Codex, this could be what's referred to as "damning with faint praise".

A group of 38 cybersecurity professors and IT experts worldwide, together with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), have cosigned a letter to EU regulators that warns of a proposal that could expose internet users to cybercrime. But no one ever uses insecure certificates in an attack, do they?

|
|
|
Yep - security certificates issued by the government. What could go wrong?

I was thinking of the Nutrimatic drink dispenser:
Quote: The Nutrimatic Drinks Dispenser also known as the Nutrimat Machine and the Nutri-Matic Drinks Dispenser is a Sirius Cybernetics Corporation product designed to work out what drink someone wants through taste bud patterns and neurological signals. It is well known for producing a liquid which is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

During the COVID lockdowns a significant percentage of workers, in all industries and not just tech, were forced to find other ways to make a living. What many of them found was that they could make a better living leaving their industries by lowering their stress levels while still making ends meet. Corporate World needs to remember this or they'll continue loosing good people to more human-centered endeavors.
