This is what an Apple engineer could write in the electron's github issue if they refused to fix it.

We're not discussing that, but that they have pushed an update without proper testing. You can see from the other comments that breakage is not limited to people using private methods.

Skilled in not falling for the kind of malware, that Defender is able to catch.

It’s not a very high bar: I have not seen it find anything in a long time, neither on my machines, nor on the ones I inspected after they had been owned.

Composable SQL 1 year ago

There's a need to do complex data processing (not sure if it falls under your "view, filter and aggregate data - nothing more"), and it's an open question whether "full fledged" languages (presumably with an API, like pandas, ibis or spark), improved SQL, or another language focused on data transformation will be a better fit for this task.

Svelte 5 Released 2 years ago

Kinda: https://svelte.dev/blog/runes

Svelte 5's reactivity is powered by signals, which are essentially what Knockout was doing in 2010. More recently, signals have been popularised by Solid and adopted by a multitude of other frameworks.

We're doing things a bit differently though. In Svelte 5, signals are an under-the-hood implementation detail rather than something you interact with directly.

Thanks, wouldn’t think of environment being shared via DBus:

Note that environment variables are not suitable for passing secrets (such as passwords, key material, …) to service processes. Environment variables set for a unit are exposed to unprivileged clients via D-Bus IPC, and generally not understood as being data that requires protection.

Moreover, environment variables are propagated down the process tree, including across security boundaries (such as setuid/setgid executables), and hence might leak to processes that should not have access to the secret data.
