@github What's the likelihood this results in a global GitHub outage?

5/ We will publish a fuller report once the investigation is complete.

1/ We are sharing additional details regarding our investigation into unauthorized access to GitHub's internal repositories. Yesterday we detected and contained a compromise of an employee device involving a poisoned VS Code extension. We removed the malicious extension version, isolated the endpoint, and began incident response immediately.

@vxunderground There was a Bluey episode about this - youtu.be/xmkCmJtK6X8

I need to scream into the void of the internet. I don't expect any of you to give a shit. I just want to share an observation I've had. Since I've had a kid I've noticed some parents unironically ego others about their children. I'm not sure what it is, maybe it's some sort reflection of their personalities, but I think it's super fucking weird. Like, my son was an objectively large baby. He was born in the 100th percentile, meaning he is statistically larger than 100 percent of babies. This doesn't mean he's destined to be a freak athlete, it doesn't mean he's going to be walking giant, it means almost nothing because the cause of large babies is either the Mother is diabetic ... or it's genetics. In our case it was genetics. It's totally possible he will be large now and by the time he's 10 he will be BELOW average. The size of a baby at birth doesn't reflect anything about their future. When I tell someone my son was born large, I'll always have one person interject and say something akin to "MY SON WAS BIGGER" ... even though I know they're lying or exaggerating. Alternatively, I'll say something like, "I think my son is doing really good, he eats a lot". Suddenly some parent will be like "MY DAUGHTER EATS MORE. SHE EATS EVERYTHING". I've seen parents blatantly LIE about their children's abilities. I've had parents tell me their children began walking completely unassisted at 5 months old. That sort of development is virtually impossible. Babies at that age do not possess the coordination skills to walk yet. LITERALLY their BRAIN isn't physiologically PREPARED for movement of that sort yet. Early-early-EARLY walking babies is like, 7 months old. However, this is freakishly rare, it's an anomaly. I've seen parents exaggerate or lie about: - Height - Weight - Eating habits - Coordination - Intelligence - Learning speed - Academic skills - ??? It's a really, really, really weird one-up thing with their children. I have no idea why people do it. I've also noticed some parents AGGRESSIVELY try to shove their ideas down your throat and assert THEY ARE right and YOU are wrong about literally anything. It's the weirdest shit bro. I get it, you love your children and you're proud of them, but they turn it into a competition. God damn

@VICE why?

@timClicks Just add bootstrap?

I'm exposing my backend developer bias, here.. but please explain how to create a decent looking webpage HTML and CSS that's a solid 7/10. Not too fashionable, but highly functional.

Let's say you had over 100k source code tarballs and wanted to run some analysis over each one. How would you approach that? I'm currently doing it in serial so that I can append to a single "json lines" file.

@dannews @VodafoneAU Any further details about the scam? What were they trying to get you to do? Did they call you? If so, from what number?

I’m pretty savvy but I almost got scammed by someone pretending to be @VodafoneAU tonight. Luckily I realised at the last possible moment and contacted the real Vodafone and they shut things down immediately. Phew!

@timClicks Implying the error handler is more computationally expensive than a successful one?

Is returning an HTTP 500 a security issue? You're sort of advertising that an input has caused system degredation, exposing the service to a denial of service attack.

@timClicks @sadisticsystems Or lack thereof

@sadisticsystems I'll also add version control workflow to that list

Hell is other people's frontend code
