1986: John Mariucci on Neal Broten becoming the first American born player to score 100 points in a season.

i genuinely think everyone in this space should immediately switch to using Vim. DPRK started abusing VS Code hooks that run _automatically_ in the background when you open a folder. ZERO fucking user interaction required _after_ trusting the repo (the trusting part is important here). Yes, read it again. ZERO. INTERACTION. REQUIRED. so what happens is the following: they (in the usual case the Contagious Interview group, meaning some fake recruiting guy) share GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab repos containing a `.vscode/` subdirectory with malicious hooks. the one example I share here executes a fake font that's actually heavily-obfuscated JS and will absolutely rek you. all your fancy software that feels "convenient" makes tradeoffs. those tradeoffs are now being abused to silently rek your devices. use Vim. and use Qubes. Thx.










@PokemonGOHubNet NPC battlers should take any slots that aren't filled by human PCs. We shouldn't be punished for failing to get a giant group together if there isn't a giant group in the first place.
