The approach I’ve seen most is using semantic versioning for releases, and having a continuously upward counting (not bothering to reset) build number for everything in between.

Would you trust this “wallet” tho lol
Hell no. I just kicked Google out of my life for the same crap. Ugh. But I’ll laugh too, because it’s either that or cry.
I wouldn’t trust them as a lone voice on something, but if other groups come to the same conclusion, sure.
As a Privacy nerd, I agree with the conclusions in the article, for what it’s worth. We do see a lot of “privacy” law proposals lately that are anything but.
I don’t think things will get better, on this front, until the average person better understands privacy rights and risks.
I can’t say I’m shocked. But I am disappointed.
I would love to see the certificate authority model become less and less important.
“Can you write a small check to an organization we are all pretty sure isn’t outright malicious?”
Is a surprisingly good pragmatic protection against malicious SSL certificates, I will admit.
But there’s significant flaws with the approach - notably power dynamics and creation of large scary targets for bad actors.
I would love to see CA acceptance move from PASS/FAIL to a dynamic risk score, that is based on my own browsing behavior (calculated solely within my browser).
If I spend 90% of my time browsing domains at example(dot)mycorporation(dot)com, there’s a great chance that anything new signed by the same authorities can be automatically trusted.
It would still put a lot of power in the hands of Amazon and Google, but would reduce that power in scale to the amount of services they’re actually providing to each user.
That’s heartbreaking. Radio Shack was so fun, while it lasted.
Netflix can’t do what got them to the top.
They can’t grow that way but they could easily hold on and remain profitable, popular and successful.
They were well on their way to enjoying “Kleenex” or “Oreo” stable market success, but their leadership and shareholders apparently aren’t satisfied with winning.
I’ll take “Organizations that made it to the top by doing something different, only to fall under leadership that doesn’t understand what made them successful and descend into ruins” for 200, Alex.
Seriously, Jeopardy team - this is a rich category:
We’re in a “fuck around” cycle where they pretend that the problem was we didn’t have “copilot”, and not that all of our development managers are wildly unqualified.
The “find out” part comes next.
Which is fucking impossible to fathom, because my fucking grocery store’s app can’t even implement search reliably, today.
I’m not sure how they’re going to manage to make things worse.
Actually, I’ll make a guess. My guess is we will go under the critical skill level needed for building safe hospital equipment, and we will get a rash of that stuff killing people due to lack of programmer skills.
I hope the asshole CEOs are the ones that die, but there’s not enough karma in the world for that.
I hope I’m rocking that hard at 84.
My next non-alcohol bubbly drink will be in your honor, Larry.
Great summary bot, as ever. But missed this absolute gem from the comments:
“Thanks for helping me wardrive and steal the WiFi from that dentist, Larry.”
Oof. But yeah. Fair.
I want to go on record that sometimes I just wear sandals with socks.
An LLM pointed at various (local) public sources of data, that can answer (local) voter questions, could be pretty cool.
I.e: "Summarize X candidate’s voting record on tax increases/education/walkable cities/unionization/etc…
Ouch. But very fair.
My client pre-downloads videos, so I can fast forward and rewind at will.
If only I had a client with support for fast forward… Oh right. I do. Neat.
Good guess.
Sure. Because “working with banks, fintechs, merchants” was a swift friendly collaboration when moving to chip and PIN…
(/sarcasm … Because it was not.)
I’m pressing X to ‘doubt’ on this one.
Edit: I’m American. It’s a good point that Europe has historically done a much better job with payment security.
Serving PHP from Windows already felt scary, to me.
I find this outcome delightful for all the compliance mandated organizations that are leaching with no intention to contribute back.
It could be really helpful for developers at pure leech organizations to make a case for being ready to contribute in an agile manner.
Now they’re all stuck waiting on either a good Samaritan, or their lawyers to get out of the way of progress.
I have little doubt that the fix has been committed to private forks dozens of times already, of course.
