LkpPo··on GitHub confirms breach of 3,800 repos via malicious VSCode extension
No time to deploy, nobody must move a muscle during the forensic investigation!
LkpPo··on Columnar Storage Is Normalization
And it's really not the same thing because ids are not position. With this type of structure a field without value will be a missing row in a table. Moreover, from the moment each column is isolated in its own table with a second key column, it becomes essential not to store NULL values because the amount of data doubles for each value, since a primary key is required for each column. It's a 6NF model. See <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixth_normal_form>
LkpPo··on Branch Privilege Injection: Exploiting branch predictor race conditions
Predictable suite.^_^ Disable the feature in BIOS if possible. Branch prediction is a rotten plank that needs to be scrapped. It's a remarkably bad idea that doesn't deserve to be saved.
LkpPo··on Red Programming Language
That he would not have been able to do what he hoped to do to meet other demands of his creditors. Pure speculation.
LkpPo··on Red Programming Language
You can watch https://www.red-by-example.org/

But no one has bothered to write a complete manual like Carl did for Rebol, and the language is a partial implementation in Rebol which has a hybrid Rebol/Red syntax that must ultimately be bootstrapped in Red. In short, you have the scaffolding around it and if you are not a total fan or a dev of the project it is not even worth it.

LkpPo··on Red Programming Language
For me, it even went off the rails before, when Nenad went to China because he was able to raise funds for the project. But he hadn't anticipated that he would be in charge and not the other way around. The situation seems to suit him perfectly. I don't think Red has any future at this point. In any case, the roadmap has always been stratospheric.
LkpPo··on On Bloat
Does the quality of the paint and canvas prevent a poor painter from applying 30 coats? No, and it's probably the same with programming languages. Adding a low wall in the driveway won't change anything.
LkpPo··on PHP 8.4
Yes, the presentation of the documentation is very good. This is something I miss when I have to switch to other languages.

I also use it to write CLI scripts to exchange data between programs. The wealth of extensions and good UTF-8 support are a plus.

LkpPo··on PHP 8.4
IMHO the HTML5 parser is the best improvement of this version.
LkpPo··on Why am I creating a new code editor?
What I find most disappointing about most editors is the lack of dockable textareas to enter search and replace with regexps on single/multiple files. And the lack of a dockable panel with clickable links to jump to search results. Almost all of them use an infamous dialog box, or single-line text fields, or only jump to the next result: what a handicap.

Yet, manipulating text effectively is the most important operation. Incomprehensible.

EditPad does it and it's absolutely brilliant, but it's only usable on Windows. E

LkpPo··on Why COBOL Isn't the Problem
As you compare with Golang, I expected an option that goes beyond the banking domain.

LkpPo··on BeeBase, a programmable relational database with graphical user interface
Good morning,

I wanted to introduce this little, unpretentious piece of software, which is intended as a small programmable database for hobbyists, like a mini Access but with a scripting language for those who like parentheses.

Your opinions are welcome.

LkpPo··on Taking the Language Server Protocol one step further
Precisely, .editorconfig has a project scope and is recognized by a multitude of IDEs and editors. Perhaps you should talk to the authors of .editorconfig to find out if what you want can be carried by their project.

LkpPo··on Ask HN: Do you know of any web app that is usable despite having no CSS at all?
DDTS is almost CSS free.

LkpPo··on Ask HN: Can you recommend me a fast, light text editor for Windows?
Search/Replace feature is really dockable, fast, powerful and well done in this editor. Creating/modifying syntax highlighting is easy and you can share them. Encoding detection and support is very good. Adding tools you call from it or where you pipe content is a brease. Definitely my favorite editor.
LkpPo··on Triangle Grids
Hello, what you could say about rotation is interesting me. I'm writing a 2D board game with a tri-grid for fun. For the moment I have only done the grid, the change of scale.

LkpPo··on Brain Oriented Programming
> I don't think they'd necessarily become OOP programmers if fp was the default, but i do think we would see a similar trend of fp becoming a distasteful term.

Inevitable! You only have to see how the abuse of GOTO has traumatized memories with very dogmatic contrary reactions. While used well there is no harm.

> because that's basically all there was for many companies building many things under burnout schedules with no one with more than 5 years of experience working on them.

Not only. There are people who will never learn even after 15 years of career. It doesn't interest them or they don't have strong enough fundamentals and will never catch up.
