We're tuned to acknowledge those open source developers who contribute by adding new lines of code, but what about those who perform the equally or more important task of deleting cruft? My hero: rm -rf /

I just remembered some old projects:
- internationalization. Find all strings in the solution and create resources for them
- database cleanup. Find all string concatenated SQL queries and replace with parameterized queries.
Guess how much fun I had with dead code in the form of "backup projects" in the solution, backup files in projects, no more needed files in projects (build action=none), functions which are never called, ...?
The guy is right: delete code!
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

HackerOne says that five more hackers have become millionaires after reporting security vulnerabilities through the vulnerability coordination and bug bounty platform. Brother can you spare a bug?
|
|
|
|
|
Now,This is the way to do it!
Hackers in +/- direct contact with software producers, looking for problems, and reporting them immediately to the software producers and only to the software producers!
Beats the crap out of the "security researchers" who look for trouble that they can use to up their social media profiles, or whatever.
One of the two groups of people, above, should be given the same short shrift as criminals, and treated as criminals.
The other group: Keep giving them the rewards for their work! More power to their elbows!

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

TypeScript 3.6 introduces stricter checking for iterators and generator functions. (and much more) I'd put a 'your type' comment here, but that seems to be all I do for TypeScript

Stricter checking, oh yes, spank those iterators again and again, they've been naughty.

Another GDPR problematic site? At this rate, I might not have any sources left.

sciencex (which is the mother of several sites -- techxplore, phys x, etc.) seems to believe that GDPR compliance means "making people subscribe to your site, giving you all their personal information, so that they can unsubscribe from your site/third party "partners"/etc, and have their personal information deleted in a few months -- but unsubscribing means that they have to accept the third-party partners, again".
So blocked.

Really? I’ve never subscribed, and I can read all the content.

Then you must have clicked the OK button, rather than "More Information", when first shown this huge pop-up:techxplore popped up: This site uses cookies to assist with navigation, analyse your use of our services, and provide content from third parties. By using our site, you acknowledge that you have read and understand our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Clicking "More information" takes you to a several-fold-long Science X page, at the bottom of which is a link:scien sex said: You can read details about our GDPR compliance and the kinds of data we collect on our GDPR page[^] The "GDPR page" claims to give you the ability to:
• Block third-party slurping.
• Demand that any stored personal information be deleted.
The links on the GDPR page all lead to this page[^], which does not provide the possibility to do anything even remotely like:
• Blocking third-party slurping.
• Demanding that any stored personal information be deleted.
All it does is allow you to delete an account that you don't want to create in the first place.
The third-party slurping continues throughout, and the only personal details that they delete are the account details.
Given how trustworthy these people obviously are, it was probably not a good idea to click the "OK" button.

What PII do you think/believe/know they're slurping?

I neither know nor care.
I can't view their pages, because of their attempt to avoid scrutiny, so I can't see what third parties/slurping/whatever are involved.
If it turns out, as you imply, that they (and their third-party "partners") are not slurping anything, then I don't want to view their pages either -- because only incredibly stupid people would go to such lengths to make themselves look slimy and dishonest, and I'm not interested in reading what's written by incredibly stupid people.

In addition, the new AI-based solution was also able to tell the difference between clickbait headlines that were generated by machines—or bots—and ones written by people You won't believe what happens next!
