Programmer Humor@programming.dev•‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Package Manager Where This Regularly Happens
6·22 hours agoI guess one benefit is rust development often doesn’t use bleeding edge version for everything, where you pull the entirety of crates.io through your machine when you open your IDE. From what I’ve seen most projects use == versions and lock files.
I don’t know enough about rust though. Could an attacker change historical crate versions to a payload and then cargo pulls them because they changed? Or will cargo only pull an update if you change to a different version on your machine?

If you haven’t seen It the largest steam train in the world was restored by union pacific, #4014 big boy. It’s basically two heavy freight locos welded together into one machine over a hundred feet long. Lots of great videos of it online including a great video where it helps out a stalled mainline freight train running actual customer UP freight.

Athenian democracies solve a lot of our current issues. It’s a bit like jury duty. You put your own name down and can be picked for roles in government.
France did that after the yellow vest protests. They randomly picked 100 citizens to lead a citizens Senate to propose solutions, and Macron promised to implement their suggestions (he lied. Only partial implementation happened)
One of the emergent properties to picking 100 random citizens is you get close to a random sample of society. Rich and poor, left and right all with different perspectives and life experiences. They all have to argue their perspective and back it up with evidence for it to function properly.
They also can’t be bought out the same way as entrenched parties. The candidates are random. Nobody knows until the results are announced.
It also results in a much stronger sense of civic duty for the average citizen when you participate in the civic process regularly like this.
This video does a far better job than I can making the case for them

πραεῖς = praeis = meek (closest English word. Not great imo) = Greek word that describes a person who has strength but restrains it. A strong man who yokes himself for the good of his community and for God. Someone capable of force, who is restrained by discipline against their own impulses.

No, they hire nobody and pretend they’re hiring so shareholders perceive them as successful and growing. The work from that role gets distributed among the employees who are still working there, eventually leading them all to work 70-80 hours a week and feel like they’re doing 3 jobs at once the entire time.
All of the best employees left, or those who don’t have sick family members or their own “pre existing conditions” so the company is left overworking under-performers and mediocre employees who couldn’t get hired elsewhere, or who are severely burned out trying to afford their wife’s chemo
