What's SEA?


South East Asia


Not much. The only non-cosmetic difference is:

  -Premake supports Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 (and 2012 supports 2010 project files via conversion).
  +Premake supports latest Visual Studio 2018 and 2022 project files via conversion).


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_nuclear_fission_reacto... says:

> A key factor that made the reaction possible was that [back then] the fissile isotope ²³⁵U made up about 3.1% of the natural uranium, which is comparable to the amount used in some of today's reactors.



I did report this five years ago. And got told that CPython don't consider it a problem. Anything is allowed to raise RecursionError without documentation, in the same way anything is allowed to raise MemoryError.

I don't really agree, as "surprising" is a stench in any API. But it's their project.

Notes are copied to from the original to the rewritten commit by default. See https://git-scm.com/docs/git-notes#Documentation/git-notes.t... for details.

But I have this in my IRC logs:

  < _jwilk> TIL git-notes rewriting doesn't work properly when doing amend within rebase. :/


Yeah I think that's a pretty big issue. Not going to be fun using git notes for code review if they get lost every time you squash or recreate commits.

One thing that would be really useful though - if you could somehow use git notes to tell Git not to download some blobs by default that would be great. It would solve the "someone added 100 MB of binary files to this project 5 years ago and then deleted them" problem.

That would be too useful though so I wont hold by breath.


I'm doubtful it's a majority.


Yup. It's linked from https://owlsintowels.org/about/ (search for "More ways to get yer fix").


"Malware-free backdoors"? What does that mean?


The attackers are using features built into the firmware. They don't have to install any of their own software.


It's accessing the router via the built in SSH server, so no malware needs to be installed on the router.


It's a bug or a misconfiguration, here a misconfiguration included in default config.


That's more likely NAME_MAX, which is 255.
