• An infinite canvas for code exploration

  Great idea, and I was excited to try it (and even pay for it!) until the requirement to sign up and the hijacked back button. Also, in my Firefox, your white box as a background appears transparent and so your text is just on top of a _very_ noisy background. On the missing Terms of Service, you have the Data Use notice, but it essentially describes how you're using our email, not any code that we would need to... - Source: Hacker News / about 6 hours ago

• Alert for Social Engineering Takeovers of Open Source Projects

  As an positive counterexample, US recently reduced federal funding for the program which manages CVEs [1]. There was/is risk of CVE data becoming pay-for-play, but OSS developers have also pushed for decentralization [2]. A recent announcement is moving in the right direction, https://medium.com/@cve_program/new-cve-record-format-enables-additional-data-fields-at-time-of-disclosure-82eef1d4035e > The CVE Board... - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• C Isn't a Hangover; Rust Isn't a Hangover Cure

  The social media posts [0] and [1] seem to both point to the Medium article at [2]. Though Viega does describe himself on LinkedIn as "CEO and Co-Founder at Crash Override", so perhaps he's just been reposting it himself.

• Zebra remains on the loose in Washington state, officials close trailheads

  I thought those collective words were (mostly) a recent invention? https://medium.com/@Naturalish/the-absurd-truth-behind-collective-animal-nouns-f4a4cde48b4f. - Source: Hacker News / 2 days ago

• Help…I’m slightly embarrassed to post this…but could anyone look at my profile and let me know if there are any “newbie red flags”. I’ve fallen in love with Python and decided to post projects from the classes I’ve taken. I’ve got more advanced projects to post and still have some project cleaning!

  If you are learning things, you could also create github gists. That way your repos will only be coding related, while you can create tutorials / work exercises in gists. Source: over 1 year ago

• Best Practice for keeping a library of code/functions to reuse in future projects

  I use Github, both for full repos and for short gists. Source: about 2 years ago

• Flutter Challenges: Challenge 02

  On the other hand, shared DartPads are just gists on GitHub so theoretically they can include code that works with different packages. Of course, such gists will not compile in DartPad and will be displayed as having errors :(. Source: over 2 years ago

• Best way to make notes about coding?

  Perhaps github gists? https://gist.github.com/discover. Source: over 2 years ago

• Some information that may be useful on the *nature of the problem* posed by the pandemic and SARS-cov-2 virus

  I looked at Github gists, but they are focused in displaying the markdown sourcecode (so e.g. Hyperlinks won't be clickable [1] ). Options just don't seem to be focused on simply hosting PDFs/information with clickable references. Source: over 2 years ago
