That civ scout you set to auto explore turn 5 and find again in the information era
why is this guy still roaming around middle america marveling at how “big” and “great” everything is, months after the world cup? got to be higher probability he’s being funded at this point to be doing this right?

Last thing an ASML exec sees before he starts leaking ultraviolet lithography machines
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told ASML tonight that the US government believes that one of its ultraviolet lithography (EUV) machines may have somehow made its way into China. Senior administration officials said they have evidence that ASML is not acting in good faith.

It is almost like Maven’s choice to prefer specific versions, enforce keys, etc. was a good idea but admitting Java was right ever might kill people.
New supply chain attack this time for npm axios, the most popular HTTP client library with 300M weekly downloads. Scanning my system I found a use imported from googleworkspace/cli from a few days ago when I was experimenting with gmail/gcal cli. The installed version (luckily) resolved to an unaffected 1.13.5, but the project dependency is not pinned, meaning that if I did this earlier today the code would have resolved to latest and I'd be pwned. It's possible to personally defend against these to some extent with local settings e.g. release-age constraints, or containers or etc, but I think ultimately the defaults of package management projects (pip, npm etc) have to change so that a single infection (usually luckily fairly temporary in nature due to security scanning) does not spread through users at random and at scale via unpinned dependencies.

The thing about Rust that people often forget is that if you're OK with sacrificing a bit of Performance for Memory Safety (which is majority cases), you don't need Rust. You can use any managed language like C#, Java, Go, etc, and don't use an insufferable Reddit Mod compiler.
