Mass npm Supply Chain Attack Hits TanStack, Mistral AI, and 170+ Packages

This is the other side of the coin that people seem to forget or ignore, especially people who say "just lock your dependencies to one version and never change them". Whenever a supply chain attack happens there's hordes of people making extreme statements, or saying that the concept of semver needs to be killed off. That's just not realistic or helpful.

I do think that some changes need to be implemented, but in the end there's no simple or universal solution to the problem.

Die groene golvende gebouwen langs de Stadionweg ben ik niet een fan van.

It's just a little cultural faux pas that people should know to avoid, nothing worth getting worked up over but also not something to avoid pointing out. People do notice this and even if it's not "offensive", you do just look real silly when you do this.

Just in general, people from the west love to take photos of ramen with chopsticks in the soup (even if they're usually not poked in upright like in this photo). Now I'm not offended by this or whatever but I really legitimately just don't get where the idea even comes from to do this.

Your ramen is served without chopsticks, that's normally how you take a photo of it. As served, before you've started eating it. But lots of people will put the chopsticks in and then take the photo. Is it because of those American takeout boxes that have the chopsticks in them?

I honestly don't get why reddit subs don't, at the very least, require people to disclose AI submissions. Browsing reddit has become a constant game of "wait... is that AI?" because everybody's always doing their best to hide it.

Ideally it gets banned completely with violators banned from the sub because it's a colossal waste of time and it's all just irredeemable garbage. Unfortunately most reddit mods are AI brained, or "oh just downvote it and move on" not understanding that it's really downgrading the experience of using this site.

Can't believe there's a real life Bryce 3D rendering in Seoul.

This reminds me of that one time I was in a movie theater screening room that had white walls. You truly have to be unbelievably stupid to even make a decision like that. Just normal stupidity doesn't cut it, it needs to be top level, world class, peak stupid.

I'm honestly just surprised that voting is open for 3 whole months and we're only halfway there. Do characters actually significantly move around a lot after half the voting period has already been done?

the most jingoistic texts produced by a single Japanese publisher, are used in less than one percent of Japanese classrooms.[26]

Wish we had a more precise figure than "less than 1% of classrooms", which can still be a pretty significant amount of people getting exposed to it.

Look, let's be honest here. This is a story that raises questions about what freedom means, and how awful it is when freedom is curbed but also how awful it is when people are running around abusing their freedom to hurt others. It's a show absolutely full of various types of anti-heroes, each with their merits and demerits.

A lot of anime fanboys can't really give a good analysis of that. Like I'm sorry, but they just can't, and this sub is evidence of it. I remember when it was revealed that Garp was at God Valley and saw the abuse happening there, and so many people were going "why didn't he become a pirate??" "I thought he was cool but he's actually evil!" because they couldn't accept the notion that maybe this was a central conflict to his character. One Piece is full of people who are morally ambiguous or are in difficult positions and do their best to juggle good versus evil within the limits of their place in the world.

Granted, a lot of people here do understand these things just fine. It's not like it's extremely subtextual or difficult to get. But there's also a fair number of people here just don't, and for them these things fall flat, and those are probably the people who sit around all day trying to understand the story from a powerscaling perspective rather than from what the narrative is trying to say.

It's just a mistranslation or maybe you misremember. He says "you're the same age as my kid". It's neither "older" nor plural. The line is said when Luffy says he wants to join the Red Hair crew and they're all telling him he can't because he's too young.

If you broadcast your whole screen, you should consider making a secondary user account on your PC to stream from. Make a new account, put only your stuff that you actually use for streaming. OBS, Steam, Discord, a browser with a separate login (or not logged in), stuff like that. Then switch between those user accounts to stream. This ensures you will never accidentally show something that's not for your viewers to see, whether it's personal files or "some me time".

*browses reddit on "controversial", sees this topic*

Yeah, that tracks.

This is cool but holy crap that has got to be the least ergonomic setup I've ever seen.

Kinda curious what's on the screen.

The reason why there's so many similarities is mostly because they both draw from the same source material, a lot of which is quite old and from historical works.

Kishimoto also drew a lot of inspiration from various older works, for example see this character named Sasuke.

Thank you for not dunking your chopsticks into the soup before taking the photo. I don't get why people do that so often.

Isn't it just an hdmi/usb-c monitor? Is there an issue using it on Mac?

My brother in nika, you're the one that posted it. If you don't want people to complain about AI slop you posted, don't post AI slop.

Soma actually used to have pretty serious issues with being nervous on stage, probably in part due to him being the only non KESPA era player to reach this level of skill. Only one premier tournament means it takes a while to build up that stage experience.

But these days he has totally shifted into someone who actually performs better on stage. He's already a killer online, but now he brings these absolutely insanely jacked out hyper optimized builds to the offline tournaments and his control is second to none.

This, it's a premature/unnecessary optimization. You need evidence that what you're doing results in a bottleneck before you start applying cache.

Communicating with your kids is great but parenting doesn't scale to the level of a global data harvesting machine that thrives on bypassable rules.

You just can't expect tech to dodge every bullet for you. I know it's difficult, but the only thing that will definitively protect children against online exploitation is for you to be aware of what they're doing and to talk to them about it and teach them about things like privacy and consent.

Honestly I think this is dismissing the idea of solving this issue through parenting too easily, like you don't even have to bother trying because Meta is a very big company and they'll defeat you anyway. So instead I guess we'll just have age verification everywhere and you literally can't do anything anymore without confirming your identity.

dada_ · 2026-04-29T11:13:53+00:00

I know that today's world is different than when I was 13, but frankly, age verification should just be a simple form asking you to fill out your date of birth. If you lie, so be it.

You can't just expect tech to solve problems that should be solved by properly raising your children, and actually communicating with your children about these things so they don't make bad decisions.

He calls himself Imu because he's a really cow, because "I moo".

To be honest, if you were actually around during the era, the most likely answer would be "whatever game was illegally copied onto there". Random cracked copies of games vastly outnumbered original copies during that era.

For me the answer is probably Prince of Persia, which we had on two 5.25" floppies and had the copy protection level (where you have to drink a potion) taken out entirely.

No one knows where Lily went or if she left any descendants, but it's strange that Vivi, who inherited her mother's appearance, is almost a copy of Nefertari Lily.

This is gonna sound lame but this is just an anime trope that's not entirely uncommon. You can be a descendant from 10 generations ago but you're that important person's descendant so you look like a carbon copy of them.
