A very poor Lemmy article headline. The linked article says “alleged” and clearly there were multiple factors involved.

It’s a PR issue not a legal one.
This draft spec was eventually published as RFC 9562. Compared to the previous spec it adds versions 6, 7, and 8, plus best practices guidance.
Basically, there are a bunch of UUID alternatives that arose to fix the problem that UUIDs are bad for use as database keys in large tables (here’s the perspective of MySQL experts Percona). A bunch of these alternatives are actually linked from the RFC, which I haven’t seen done before. Version 7, in particular, is meant to address this use case.
True, it’s a private (not local) IP. It could easily have connected to a remote system, as their proof-of-concept did.
This code execs cmd.exe
and pipes output to and from a hardcoded IP. That’s pretty weird. What’s running on that IP? How does the extension know something is there?
It looks like VS Code has no review — human or automated — or enforced entitlement system that would have stopped this or at least had someone verify it was legit.
Their findings included an extension that opens an obvious reverse shell.
Any USB-C headphones work.
This report is from 2016. It’s mainly of historical interest.
It’s nice that this is compatible with Redis clients, and even Redis cluster operations. But I wish they would take this opportunity to make scaling more ergonomic. The Redis cluster mode is a pain to use because certain commands don’t work on a cluster (and developers don’t seem to realize this, leading to implementation issues).
This doesn’t sound like a serious problem for a company like Google. They can afford to solve it by brute force — just put a Wi-Fi hotspot in every single room.
It’s better now. No more bottles and kegs. This time it’s barrels, vintages and terroirs.
This makes a lot of sense if you’re delivering static content. Cloudflare even has the Super Slurper which serves your S3 content and migrates it seamlessly to Cloudflare’s competitor R2 service, after which your egress is free.
Is it a blunder? Tell that to Apple, Jetbrains, or Microsoft, each of whom have proprietary code editors that net billions of dollars of revenue.
It’s true, VS Code is open source, but it is developed almost entirely by Microsoft, by a large team of paid full-time programmers, designers, and PMs. It may be the most-used text editor in the world, but it isn’t developed by a team of volunteers who materialized around it because it was open source.
Instead, consider that making something open source is often just a marketing strategy — or a soft way to sunset a project.
This is a nice editor. I don’t like the comparisons to Atom since some of us remember that as “the really bloated and slow predecessor to VS Code”. Whereas Zed is quite small and fast. Opening a shell panel is instant and makes VS Code feel slow.
Its strength is multi-user (their term: multiplayer) shared editing spaces. It also has quite good AI integration and supports Github Copilot too.
I am a little concerned that they started off commercial and then went open source. Open source is great! But this path sometimes means that the original developers no longer have the time/money/interest to keep developing it. I hope that’s not the case here because they’ve got the start of something good.
Strange when the party receiving the “commission” gets to dictate the terms of that commission.
I recommended Brother laser printers to some older relatives and this happened. The printers required a power reset every few days.
You never ask them if it’s plugged in. You tell them to unplug it for 10 seconds.
“I implemented the FizzBuzz algorithm in only 10 million lines of code!”
Or they changed the headline and due to caches CDNs or other reasons you didn’t get the newer one.
archive.today has your original headline cached.
Thanks for posting. While it’s a needlessly provocative headline, if that’s what the article headline was, then that is what the Lemmy one should be.
