You needn't have any agent-written code in your apps, but its auditing and bug-finding capabilities are worth the price alone. I pointed Codex at @takeoneapp and in seconds found an obscure layout crasher and a datastore object orphan bug. I did all the fixing, but it talked me through why my logic was wrong.

I do wonder what that alone could achieve in a 'Snow Leopard' OS release, where every last project in the system gets a 'free' audit the likes of which it probably hasn't had in 30 years

The ‘Streisand effect' strikes again. The Late Show interview with James Talarico, which CBS kept from airing fearing the FCC, has 5.4 million views on YouTube. On a typical night about 2 million people tune in to watch Stephen Colbert. https://youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?si=a2Ie6j5wVIA4ZTFQ

@purinkle Yes! And once you wrote a whole spec file to better define the structure, you light just as well convert these into tests.

Mise à jour de sécurité : sortie de SPIP 4.4.9

La version 4.4.9 apporte des correctifs à des bugs introduits dans la 4.4.8. Elle corrige également quatre failles de sécurité. Un grand merci à Dorian Piette (Trachinus) pour les signalements.

Cette version corrige quatre petites failles de sécurité : deux dans l’espace privé avec les sites syndiqués (blind SSRF et stored XSS) lors de l’utilisation d’URL malicieuses une autre XSS dans l’espace (…)

@gkrnours @cwebber @maswan @mastodonmigration @baralheia @vv that would probably be an interesting prototype!
