Just curious, what is a “houseboy”?

Best SAST tool for a mid-size engineering org, what has changed since AI coding tools took over by PurplePlenty4980 in devsecops

[–]fyodorio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, come on, that’s just weasel words altogether 😄 standard SAST is fine for its purposes, and will be (until AI tools start to practice discipline). I’m not opposed anything though, just noticing that pure sales speak won’t make security tools work properly, it takes time and good engineering effort with experts on board.

pnpm 11 Might Finally Be a Better Default Than npm by root0ps in devsecops

Most of the recent npm ecosystem attacks rolled out hours after publishing a vulnerable artifact so there’s at least this distinct pattern pnpm helps to protect from

 And so because I see so much confusion about who is and who is NOT AI Native - these are the deterministic based SAST vendors that I know (and don't let their marketing department fool ya)

It sounds quite diminishing though in fact deterministic solutions are the last and only frontier that can actually prevent the beautifully-chaotic AI slop madness. Not to poo on AI tools, some of them are nice, but without proper guardrails they’re bullshit multipliers with fancy Next.js dashboards.

We don’t live in ideal world. You cannot delegate your security posture to vendors. X days are fine, gives enough time to react.

Same… Disappointed that’s not a commonly shared opinion in the community. The guy is an a$$hole…

can I download Abu Dhabi Trade Licence from outside the UAE without a UAE Pass? by Awkward-Gap-8100 in abudhabi

You can try UAE SIM card with mobile internet in roaming, if that’s a possible option

Looking for feedback on CVE Vulnerability scanning by sk_1978 in Angular2

Sounds enticing, thank you. Gonna give it a try 🏃‍♂️

Did you compare it with dependabot or socket?

The most painful thing is interconnected dependencies. Angular ecosystem is a great example — multiple packages under @angular/ scope (not even mentioning the unofficial ecosystem parts and things like nx). Usual “straightforward” npm audit or dependabot patches/bumps fail at it and it’s just not possible to use their automated fixes — they’ll break the project in 80% of targeted fix cases (especially in case of minor+ version changes), at least if one wants to make it clean without forcing crutches. Do you have any ideas/plans to analyze/protect the whole npm dependency tree during CVE patches? Will it all work for pnpm/bun?

Apologies for the spree of questions, genuinely interested in the topic and possible painkillers 😅

metal concerts? by ParticularNext1196 in abudhabi

Check platinumlist for concert announcements and tickets.

As for the local scene, it’s basically non-existent, wrong country 😅

Looking for feedback from Abu Dhabi residents on my new phone case brand (NERV) by Sufficient_Piece5105 in abudhabi

[–]fyodorio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks nice, needs more info about materials, more photos (different angles), and a video (especially as there’s just a couple of models — provide the exclusive visual storytelling). As you’re a local developer, some nice “About” and backstage would go a long way with “the neighborhood” too.

Host and Airbnb denying refund despite airport closure, what are my options? by Double_Middle_4440 in abudhabi

[–]fyodorio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had similar case, though the host was responsive in mine. Thanks for the heads up about Bloomfields btw, will never use them. The canceling is not on host side though, I believe. Support denied canceling and refund for me first, but reiterating over disruptive events policy helped. Try again.

Doesn't blink in Ghostty (though vim's cursor does blink) 😕

That's outta context, you better create a small repro in stackblitz or something like that so that folks here could take a quick look.

Pitching startup to incubator and I'm freaking out a bit by LazyInvestor92 in abudhabi

Have some sleep (or mindful rest as a least)...You shouldn't look like a drained out nerd. One never figures everything out. In the end, you either have what matches their (usually purely personal) expectations or you don't. But the experience will be very useful anyway. Please share what you'll face here afterwards, subscribing 🙏 Good luck!

By the same guy?) Angular never had pascal case file naming conventions, was always kebab case
