I believe they’re referring to lower down in the article, where the researchers analyzed existing extensions on the marketplace:
After the successful experiment, the researchers decided to dive into the threat landscape of the VSCode Marketplace, using a custom tool they developed named ‘ExtensionTotal’ to find high-risk extensions, unpack them, and scrutinize suspicious code snippets.
Through this process, they have found the following:
- 1,283 with known malicious code (229 million installs).
- 8,161 communicating with hardcoded IP addresses.
- 1,452 running unknown executables.
- 2,304 that are using another publisher’s Github repo, indicating they are a copycat.
The WinAmp maybe sorta open-sourcing is interesting. I’ve never used it (aside from downloading it to get MilkDrop working in Foobar2000).
I disagree that procedural generation makes games more boring and repetitive. I think it depends on the game and how the procedural generation is implemented. Look at Noita for example - uses lots of procedural generation, mixed with some handcrafted elements, and it’s really fun! Terraria, another similar formula.
Not my cup of tea, but a lot of people love No Man’s Sky for that reason - it’s fun to explore the crazy combinations.
The original Elite was procedurally generated IIRC, and from what I understand it was super fun (before my time though).
That’s how I feel about RuneScape! I don’t find it a particularly fun game, but the music is so great and iconic and fits the game so well, I hear it and want to play.
Yeah, also a bunch of other details, and the whole plot is way more focused on the war in the movie. In the book it’s more of a backdrop. You should give it a read, it’s worth it :) I also like her other books!
I don’t know the answer, but happy to see someone talking about this book. I feel like so many people know the movie and have no clue that it’s based on the book, nor how much they changed it. I personally love the book and am happy to see it.
These names are really fun! Good ones to add to my list…
I love Saints Row IV. Such a silly game; great way to just fuck around and blow off some steam.
Cool to see the Immich team going full time. I don’t use it personally but I hear great things
Why is this oniony? “Professional drivers are in the transportation industry” sounds absurd?
I have questions. Is this something in use today? Who is manufacturing them? Is this something you’re personally familiar with or just aware of?
You mean like git sparse-checkout
? Admittedly experimental but useful
Do you mean admonitions? E.g. info, warning, etc? There’s precedent for that in commonly-used open source implementations, e.g. obsidian.md (which uses the same syntax, and started before). What semantics does it break? It’s designed to read well in plaintext and render nicely even if used in a renderer that doesn’t support admonitions, e.g.
[!NOTE] Information the user should notice even if skimming.
As opposed to other common markdownish implementations that use nonsensical plaintext which renders poorly in alternative renderers. Here’s a discussion on the topic in the CommonMark forums.
My “scrum leader” (who we handled agile just fine without before) is constantly complaining about points or priorities shifting, to the point that he’ll tell us to not put what we’re actually working on on the board because it’ll mess up the burndown chart.
One of the 4 values of agile is “responding to change over following a plan”. He’s parroted this to us before, and yet still doesn’t seem to see the irony.
What do people have against the Mach kernel?
1 horizontal/1 vertical + laptop.
Horizontal is directly in front of me, used for whatever I’m currently focusing on - usually IDE or browser.
Vertical is to the side, used for anything auxiliary to my current task - browser, bug report, notes, chat, git gui, etc.
Laptop monitor is for anything I want to monitor, but don’t need to look at constantly - logs, news, incoming bug reports, etc.
I also make use of virtual desktops, so I have one for chat/email/general browsing, one for code editing with browser, git gui, IDE, and one for notes/zoom. Laptop screen doesn’t shift with virtual desktops so I always keep the monitoring open.
Please, let’s get a little better data in here…
