OK, what happens now if you have an error opening one of those files, return an error from inside the for loop, and forget to close the files you'd already opened?

tczMUFlmoNk · 4 days ago

You put the files in the collection as you open them, and you register the defer before opening any of them. It works fine. Defer should be lexically scoped.

It seems that the Solidity compiler complains if you do not specify one:

How can you tell that any Windows or Mac clone UI is a re-implementation? Easy: try to move your mouse diagonally into the Send To menu after letting it pop up. If the send-to menu closes as you mouse over the item into the submenu, it's a clone. If the menu stays up even if you brush over another menu item, it's either real or a Good Clone. :)

For the fun history, @DonHopkins had a thread a few years back:

A classic article about a no-delay solution to this problem, not mentioned in the linked thread:

I'm having difficulty understanding what it means for an attacker to "send your email to a legitimate service"...

tczMUFlmoNk · 19 days ago

I think this means:

1. You go to evil.example.com, which uses this flow.

2. It prompts you to enter your email. You do so, and you receive a code.

3. You enter the code at evil.example.com.

4. But actually what the evil backend did was automated a login attempt to, like, Shopify or some other site that also uses this pattern. You entered their code on evil.example.com. Now the evil backend has authenticated to Shopify or whatever as you.

Wait what? Anyone here getting 4.7% pay rises?

tczMUFlmoNk · 22 days ago

6% last year here.

I mean, who doesn't love requests?

tczMUFlmoNk · a month ago

Well... maybe the people who have stopped working on it due to the mysterious disappearance of 30,000 fundraised dollars, selling paid support but "delegat[ing] the actual work to unpaid volunteers", and a pattern of other issues from other community members who have not spoken up about them.

None of these things is a saving throw versus suspicious login detection. It's for the safety of your account. Wait an hour or two, or resolve the reason for the suspicious activity if you may have caused it (VPN, for example).

tczMUFlmoNk · a month ago

VPNs are a wholly legitimate way to use the Internet. The onus should never be on a legitimate user to disengage measures that they've taken for their privacy and safety.

In this case, the user has already authenticated with three factors(!). Framing potential VPN use as "suspicious" normalizes a more locked down, surveilled web with fewer rights for humans. We shouldn't be pushing that direction.

At least it is helpfully located in the "Thought Leadership" section as an early flag for the reader.

Fascinating. Does the Starlink antenna work well underwater? Or was this sub surfacing to communicate?
