Had GPT summarize what happened.

The "left pad" incident refers to a controversy that arose in 2016 when a developer named Azer Koçulu removed his JavaScript package called "left-pad" from the NPM (Node Package Manager) registry. This caused a ripple effect, breaking numerous projects that relied on this package and highlighting the potential risks of relying on external dependencies. The incident sparked a debate about the stability and trustworthiness of the open-source ecosystem and led to discussions about best practices for managing dependencies in software development.

Yeah, at my company we switched to allow/block listed last year. Whitelisted and blacklisted are verboten

Even better.

And now people are doing GDPR requests. Literally takes 3 seconds. Might as well!

Will edit with the direct link in a second. It's also a comment in the above thread.

I REALLY liked the Inbox app they made for gmail. Sadly, like all the best things google makes, it went the way of the dinosaurs.

Commenting because I'd love to know the same.

That was not a fun week to be a developer.

This is a game that should be my ideal game. Everything about it screams that I'd love it. But I've attempted to start it probably 6 different times, ranging between 2 and 10ish hours of play each time. I just can't get hooked and now I've done the intro too many times :( I really want to love this game.

My town has been doing the same and there's even a program where they will come rip out your lawn and replace it with some kind of wood chip stuff. The town's main water supply is a lake just downhill from our little mountain so they take it pretty seriously. I hate lawn care so I've considered it, but haven't actually taken action on it yet. But I just might. I hate hate hate mowing.

Millennial here. I missed out on yeet. But my 7 year old loves the word so I make sure to tell him he's the bomb diggity before I dab and do the cabbage patch.

John Oliver poses for sexy pics then they get posted on /r/pics I'd wager

Growing up in a world of fundies, I can almost guarantee it'll be a lot of "IT'S DEMONS. THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO TRICK YOU!" Outside of that world, I expect a lot more logic and reason. I hope, anyway.

I am absolutely exhausted with me and my kid's ADHD. My wife is always upset at us because we can't remember shit and I've spent my life feeling guilty because nobody will ever just give me a break.

I'm expected to be "on" at all times and I just can't do it forever. Sometimes I just need to do things my own, likely inefficient way, but at least at home it usually ends in being berated because I didn't do it "the right way".

It's so insanely demoralizing. I don't even want to bother trying at anything because it will only be met with derision. What's even the point. Fuck it all.

Shit like that is why I still dream of disappearing forever to be alone and just left to my own devices.

Thanks for letting me vent. Just so tired.

Yeah that sucks. I really liked using them for quick clips of videos I took. Booooooo

Just wanna say, I have the "I am a beacon of joy" hoodie and I cannot wear it out and not get a compliment on it. Best hoodie ever. Love your work!

Smoking pork butt for the first time! I anticipate mediocre results but hey I've never done it before.

I'm here for some fun, let's make this community awesome.

Boost hasn't failed me yet, but aside from checking to see if it's down, I'm being careful and popping away without browsing. I don't want the dev to get slammed with more API fees because of me.

"you know excel? Yeah, that's a database." Would be my answer.

Best movie ever.
