Yes but they've also said they want to get it permanently on the subscription plan.

Kessler is much less of a problem at their altitude (480km). Debris has too much drag and would get pulled down too quick to have a sustained Kessler situation. It's possible, but very very unlikely at that altitude.

Have a friend just graduated in cybersecurity. He’s going into the military with it.

That’s my point. For whatever reason, npm isn’t doing it. All npm users adding a minimum package age is kind of like doing it as a collective, without npm’s help.

Even if everyone used it, the security scanners would still have time to do their static analysis of new packages. Basically, all the clients implementing a delay would create a de facto quarantine status for new packages so they can be examined before everyone starts installing them. (Why npm doesn't just implement that themselves, I do not know.)

Are you telling me that the “report spam” button actually does something??!?!?!!!

That is a big yikes, but definitely not the norm. Most school districts switched from using SSN as their SIS identifier decades ago.

Planetscale has better performance and uptime. But the branching keeps me going back to neon…

Yes planetscale can branch too, but it takes longer and you pay individually for each branch

Weird. Works great in cities for me. It’s been more than fancy cruise control for awhile.

But Starlink satellites are low enough that we don’t worry too much about Kessler Syndrome at that altitude, right?

Those threat researchers and their autonomous agents caught this axios release.

I'd be fine if it autofilled one city from the zip code, which for me is always wrong. I can tab to the field and type in the correct city. Don't even need a drop-down with the possible cities. And if I don't fix it, it doesn't really matter for USPS. They just care that the ZIP is correct.

My daughter one day told me that her Tesla said it needed oil maintenance. I scoffed and tried to mansplain to her how EVs don’t need oil. Then I checked the car, and sure enough, it was asking for oil. One of the contained oil systems had sprung a leak. That’s on a 6 year old Tesla Model X.

Starlink satellites aren't geostationary.

“Array of foreign keys” has been at the top of my list for so long. Would simplify sooooo much.

Yes, but presumably it would have been discovered by then.

They voted a month ago to move forward. I haven’t seen anything about it tabled - do you have a link?

I can’t imagine Amazon execs having a discussion about getting out of the cloud business.

But Google doing it seems totally believable.

See the problem?
