Mort: Someone who lacks sense of life, looks dumbfounded, and has only a limited ability to learn and understand. (urban slang)

Elvis: A famous rock star

Enstein: A famous physicist

Amanda: ???

Mort, Elvis, Enstein are referencing things I've heard of before. What is Amanda referencing? is there some famous person named Amanda? Is it slang I'm unaware of?

Amanda try to be like.

Well, you’d also be forgiven for thinking ‘how on earth can a social website chatbot be a white supremacist?’ And yet xAI managed to prove that is a legitimate concern.

xAI has a shocking track record of poor decisions when it comes to training and prompting their AIs. If anyone can make a partisan coding assistant, they can. Indeed, given their leadership and past performance, we might expect them to explicitly try.

Perhaps you’ve never heard of Tay?

Microsoft did pioneering work in the Nazi chatbot space.

Says the malware is in a post-install script - that will not be called by nx, but i.e after an npm install

dudeinjapan · 3 days ago

Oh good. I guess running the actual program was too many steps.

Have we not learned, yet? The number of points this submission has already earned says we have not.

People, do not trust security advisors who tell you to do such things, especially ones who also remove the original instructions entirely and replace them with instructions to run their tools instead.

The original security advisory is at https://github.com/nrwl/nx/security/advisories/GHSA-cxm3-wv7... and at no point does it tell you to run the compromised programs in order to determine whether they are compromised versions. Or to run semgrep for that matter.

Are you affected? Run the affected program. OK, now you are definitely affected.

To make sure code loaded from gems doesn’t shadow the namespace of the application.

dudeinjapan · 5 days ago

Right. Today Ruby has essentially a global namespace, where every defined module/class/const is put in the same "global dumping ground" and can override/"monkey patch" each other.

Ruby 3.5 will introduce a new language keyword "namespace" that scopes behavior to that namespace.

  class Foo
    def foo; puts "foo"; end
  end

  namespace Bar
    class Foo
      def foo; puts "bar"; end
    end

    Foo.new.foo #=> "bar"
  end

  Foo.new.foo #=> "foo"

Fun times.

This is intended for isolated code loading similar to "modules" in Python or ES6, but I am worried it will be abused badly. I'm also unsure whether they will add a "use Namespace" construct...

I still like Ruby. 15+ years in, I find myself in the camp of not wanting it to change. 25 year old me would have been totally jazzed about the addition of namespaces in Ruby 3.5/4.0. 40 year old me wants namespaces to get off my Ruby lawn.

How do you think developing counties come up with their poverty lines? This new international number is just the median of those…

dudeinjapan · 16 days ago

There should be a universal human standard to define what extreme poverty is--i.e. the amount needed to secure food, shelter, and clothing--and then that amount should be assessed country-by-country (or region-by-region) by an independent body. The number of $3 per day is well above the "basic needs" threshold in some of the poorest countries, and well below it in the US, for example.
