What is spilled cannot die

dirty onanists spilling their seed

I always enjoy hearing about other people’s bugs. It makes my imposter syndrome recede for a few moments.

Survivorship bias or survival bias is the logical error of concentrating on entities that passed a selection process while overlooking those that did not. This can lead to incorrect conclusions because of incomplete data.

In this case, the selection process is discovering human-evident back doors. It fits by my reading.

OP is referring to a backdoor that was found. It apparently modified behaviour in a way that was noticeable to humans, suggesting that it was built by an unskilled adversary.

It’s a safe bet that there are others (in FOSS) that remain undiscovered. We know that skilled adversaries can produce pretty amazing attacks (e.g. stuxnet), so it seems likely that similar vulnerabilities remain in other FOSS packages.

Front end is hard. Slapping together some form elements, xhr requests, and DOM updates is easy. Building a usable, consistent UI, that makes proper user of the backend isn’t. On top of that, every jackass thinks they get it because they’re a user, so you get unsolicited suggestions from everywhere.

I find anything other than light roast espresso gives me stomach pain.

I’ve stopped a few times to make sure I’m not developing an addiction, and yeah, it can be tough.

a lot of programmer “culture” revolves around coffee

It comes up in memes/jokes, but aside from that, what else does it have to do with our subculture?

I’m not sure that it’s even ours. Coffee comes up a lot in general office culture.

They look kinda done tho

it’s like half the number of keystrokes

Thank you for the context

I’ll take it.

Do they finally have an ls in the default path, or do I still need to alias that?

Hmmm. I didn’t see docs on adding my own colourizing rules.

I had to look it up, so I thought I’d share the wealth.

There’s a bunch of citations on Wikipedia, maybe there’s an explanation in there?

Wikipedia sez

The term was coined by computer programmer Terry A. Davis, who allegedly believed that the CIA was stalking and harassing him. “Glowie” is often used in online forums to refer to government agents, especially undercover operatives who infiltrate online far-right spaces.

“Glow in the dark” and its derivative terms have been used to refer to various groups: newcomers that do not fit in with the culture of certain forums and are thus suspected to have bad intentions, journalists who report on extremist groups, tech companies that collect users’ personal data, and others.

yup. Use the structure of the document.

If that isn’t possible, use the visual representation.
