So they failed to properly protect their credentials?
This sure doesn't reflect all this supposed professionalism and improvements RC was supposed to make.
Years ago, I decided with all the DHH drama, that using Rails was too much of a liability and this shit just makes the whole Ruby ecosystem a liability to anything build in that ecosystem.
Want I really want is an *arr style app that I can give a list of Youtube channels I want archived, and it would just keep the archive up to date indefinitely.
Clearly nothing based on Latin script can be original, which itself is based on the Etruscan Old italic alphabet, which itself it based on the Euboean alphabet — ergo, any typeface developed after say the 8th century BC is just a silly derivative.
Everything is derivative, there is nothing new under the sun, and your argument proves nothing.
This reminds me of a bad vuln in Drupal years ago (2014, I think?).
Alot of people think Acquia, being started by the creator of Drupal, has special control of the open source project, but at the end of the day they really don't have that kind of control.
So when the security team found this vuln, they coordinated with as many Drupal hosting platforms as they could, and immediately Pantheon, Platform.sh, and Acquia had all blocked the exploit at the firewall level by the time the CVE was announced.
Gene Kim talks about Rickover quite a bit on the Idealcast podcast. This episode[1] with Michael Nygard has a great story where he shares a memo that Rickover wrote to the representatives that he had at contractor sites. (The context is people in The Naval Reactor Organization or NR, granting waivers to their contractors from NR rules):
> From time to time, I note evidence that NR representatives at field offices, such as a shipyard or laboratory, do not fully understand their primary mission. It is amazing to me how representatives new to these positions uniformly get themselves into the frame of mind, where they conceive of themselves as intermediaries between NR and the contractor. That is, that their job is to judge who is right, NR or the contractor, and then make the decision on their own. In many cases, not even notifying NR. In this way, the NR representative then becomes in effect NR's boss. All NR representatives are of course, encouraged to state their views to me at any time, but it is not their job to assume my responsibility. Another and more serious mistake arises when the NR representative decides what he should or should not report to me. Frequently, he decides not to report things to me because he feels he can handle the matter better himself or he is afraid that by notifying me of the situation, which is his job, I will take ignorant, improper action and upset the applecart. Nearly all NR representatives have had inadequate experience to handle the important and complex tasks they face. I do not expect them to be able to make wise decisions on all matters by themselves. Under some circumstances, it is better to have no NR representative at all because I would not then be lulled into thinking the NR interests are being taken care of. Please bear in mind always that you are the NR representative. That you are to carry out the policies of NR. That you are not to judge NR or to represent the contractor to NR. To achieve the status of a true NR representative requires the acquisition of godlike qualities, but you can try. Signed H.G. Rickover.
I'm really surprised more people don't know about the Powell memo, considering it literally describes the headlines we're seeing in the news now, attacks against higher education as 'liberal indoctrination' are all over the place, see what Chris Rufo is doing, and the reaction to the protests against the war in Gaza. Or look at book bans, or whatever.
The 2010 Citizens United decision cited a case with precedence that Powell wrote the majority opinion on (First National Bank of Boston v. Bellotti).
