How safe is that open-source software in the Git library, the one with the questionable history? Scorecard 2.0 can quickly tell you just how secure, or not, it really is. Can't tell who's winning without a score
Lame, lame, lame and sadly lame. I should be diminished in your eyes. Sorry, but it seems my brain has taken Canada Day off (It even still wants to call it Dominion Day. Dumb brain.)

And who is goign to give the score?
I hope not the same who decide which software can be signed at MS

open-source software security is not bullet proof 
imagine hacker retrieving source code, injecting his code and releasing another similar version
or
hacker retrieving source code and finding a backdoor by reviewing code

Now if only TBL will take down the page that the Scamtoken points to rendering it worthless.
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?

Technical details and a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit have been accidentally leaked for a currently unpatched vulnerability in Windows that allows remote code execution. Good thing we got rid of all the printers

"accidentally"?

Former Microsoft engineer and creator of the Windows Task Manager Dave Plummer has issued a reminder to all programmers to take care over the imagery conjured up by a quickly typed description. Never offend the offendible
And from what I've heard, some of the issues flagged by that tool can be quite entertaining: beware 'pointer to implementation' (pImp) and 'Availability Sets' (ASs)
|
|
|
|
|
Also beware the "pointer to an ID list" (pidl[^]), and the "shell item ID" (shitemid[^]).

Unison is an open source functional programming language based on a simple idea with big implications: code is content-addressed and immutable. Because I haven't given you a new programming language in almost two whole weeks

Quote: An analogy: Unison definitions are like stars in the sky. We can discover the stars in the sky and pick different names for these stars, but the stars exist independently of what we choose to call them.
And, structural flaws are like black holes, and, intermittent bugs are like pulsars.

The language (or rather, I suppose, the compiler? not sure what to call it, it seems more like an interpreter of sorts) has some interesting ideas in it, but time will tell if it catches on. Too immature of a project for me to bother with ATM (and besides, I'm not super into pure functional languages).
