It's disingenuous to believe there was any merit in blocking Cloudflare. Not only this was never going to solve the piracy problem but it was always more of a pissing context. Furthermore, La Lig…

Finally. The situation is ridiculous and afaik it really didn't do anything to solve the piracy problem.

I'm loving it. Just opened my current TS/TSX project and everything is working as expected. Performance is fantastic. I used Sublime for a decade and always missed its native performance aft…

At the very least, when an agent can delete a production database you should get an obvious warning whenever you enable it. Marketing wouldn't like it though.

As someone who abused cannabis in my 20s and had my fair share of issues I can only agree.

You can still work with vanilla PHP, jQuery, and vanilla CSS if the project allows it. Things are more complex typically because the requirements are more complex. What used to be a simple <form>…

Funny how the headline tries to spin this as an env vars issue. By far the biggest issue is being able to access the production environment of millions of customers from a Google Workspace. Only a han…

> The CEO publicly attributed the attacker's unusual velocity to AI Unusual velocity? Didn't the attacker have the oauth keys for months?
comment
Ok but how do you go from a Google Workspace to production env vars? Doesn’t Vercel use 2FA? Did the hackers also get the env vars encryption keys?
comment
John Ternus really did turn the Mac around. The last 5 or so years of the Intel era were a disaster. Hopefully he will be able to turn things around with software too.

How do you go from a Google Workspace to production env vars without Vercel doing something wrong?

Regarding 1, from another comment it seems NeonDB env vars are not sensitive by default. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47832692 …

Surprising velocity? It appears the hackers had the oauth key for a month.

A month? If true this is insane.

I don't know about Hetzner but with Upcloud and Vultr my single VPS setups have been more reliable than multiregion with redundancy setups with other providers like Fly.
comment
Is Hetzner as reliable as DO though? Over the years I've heard plenty of horror stories from Hetzner customers.

To anyone who has been following climate change it was clear the IPCC reports were outdated by at least a decade. Back in 2013 or so feedbacks (methane etc) were already a big part of the conversation…
