That's how you get this feature: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate-bareword-strings.

tldr: undefined constants were treated as a string (+ a warning), so `$x = FOO` was `$x = "FOO"` + a warning if `FOO` was not a defined constant. Thankfully this feature was removed in PHP 8.

Removing existing Docker images? Seems unlikely.

It's still risky if you pay unless you have a contract guaranteeing what the renewal price would be.

> OR they acknowledge that it's almost impossible to build a website without some form of tracking

Why would it be almost impossible to "build a website" without tracking?
rustc
·9 months ago·discuss
Another weird idea: make this kind of tracking illegal. Why would anyone willingly agree to be tracked?
rustc

Or just ban this kind of data collection. Is there any reason anyone would willingly click "Accept" when a website asks to share your data with 500+ partner sites?

What is the right way to make ripgrep behave closer to `git grep`? Plain `rg` ignores files inside hidden folders like `.github`, `rg --hidden` will search `.github` but also search inside `.git`. I currently have this alias that I don't remember where I found: `rg --hidden --glob '!*/.git/*'`. Is there a better way?

I would prefer a solution that works from outside git repos, so no piping `git ls-files` into rg.

But will the "big fine" be more than the money LinkedIn will make by doing this?

It would disallow private forks of WordPress (require them to share the modifications) but I don't know whether WPEngine and other hosts have any private modifications or they all use stock WordPress.

Have you thought about licensing future additions to WordPress under AGPL? I believe it can be done [1]. This will disallow private forks and require companies to publish any changes they make.

> If your bank calls you, hang up and log in or call their support number yourself.

And don't trust the number you see on Google. Google is known to show scammers' phone numbers in featured snippets or in their new "AI Mode". Click on the link and make sure it's the correct site before trusting the number.

The notifications are not real time. You can rack up a significant bill before they are triggered.

And what if they don't say "no problem"? Like the Netlify case where they at first offered a reduced bill (which was still a lot) before the post got viral and the CEO stepped in.

This is like `curl | bash` but you automatically execute the code on every webpage you visit with full access to your browser.

> Malicious actors can hide instructions in websites, emails, and documents that trick AI into taking harmful actions without your knowledge, including:

This should really be at the top of the page and not one full screen below the "Try" button.
