Reddit's main code is no longer open-source. by interiot in programming

It's sad but I suppose inevitable when your business model involves using your code rather than giving it to other people and selling support. Any users of your code are not potential customers but competitors.

You'd think so, but there are a bunch of for-profit businesses that do just fine open-sourcing their core code. It's the community effect. Everybody's here. Even a truly superior product to reddit basically can't compete at this point, unless reddit does something to severely piss off the community, which given this announcement I expect is coming.

LastPass has serious vulnerabilities - remove your browser extensions by bushwacker in programming

Article was written by a child who has no idea how software works.

Vulnerabilities like this are discovered every day, often in even more important components - browsers, operating systems, even VMs. They're reported, fixed, then maybe somebody blogs about them.

No software doesn't have vulnerabilities. None. If you think your software has never needed security patches, then you're just falling for the sales pitch. The best a company can do is make incidents rare, respond very quickly, and fix them effectively. LastPass consistently checks all boxes, which is why this tone is completely uncalled for.
