That's a Java library, so you would download it from Maven Central, not GitHub (unless you're doing something non-default)... And Sonatype requires that you prove ownership of the reversed domain used in the groupId, which in this case is `<groupId>org.postgresql</groupId>`. You can see how to do that here: https://central.sonatype.org/faq/how-to-set-txt-record/

For extra piece of mind, you can also check the GPG signatures as all artifacts are signed when published to Maven Central... you need to get the key used by Postgres to sign that somehow independently from Sonatype. That's a downside of this mechanism, you just need to know for each publisher, where to get their GPG keys from. In the case of PG, I couldn't even find it with a quick google search.

We love to be romantic about glass but I don't think as easy of a calculation for the total environmental use. Glass is heavier and more expensive to transport. Glass is harder to shape into sizes that make for efficient transportation, for example Costco square milk jugs.

This sucks. Supply chain is such an issue.

Even tho we don't currently target any npm releases, I make use of socket.dev to monitor my project by creating an npm release for it. But my project BrowserBox (lightweight virtualized web browser) only uses ~800 dependencies including all descendents, with only 19 top-level deps (cool your heels non-JavaScript folks, this is comparatively lightweight for a full stack boing).

I'm considering just snapshotting all 800 deps into a @browserbox namespace at npm. And then tracking any vulnerabilities discovered and patching the fixes.

It sounds crazy, but that's where we are. At least that way I "own" all the dependencies and can guarantee (up to company security at least) that we don't have supply chain vulns on the Node/JS side.

We have a very small compost bin in the kitchen that is frequently (about once a day) emptied into a garbage can with lid in the garage, which is then infrequently dumped into a compost pile.

I view recycling schemes for plastics as a way to make burning the stuff more convenient. Which is not necessarily a bad thing.

After fossil fuels are done, the reduced carbon in the waste stream (including plastics, but also cellulosic materials) will become more valuable as feedstock for various chemical processes. Garbage refining will be a thing. It will be an aggressive chemical endeavor, more akin to petroleum refining than to recycling.

I mean... I live in a dense neighborhood in a city, and since you know everyone, the feeling of 'owning the place' still exists. We're lucky to be an older neighborhood (for the area), thus we have smaller roads, which are easy to navigate for kids.

„Used“ means as long as you rent them / as long as they’re assigned to your account / as long as you have access. Dedicated servers are physical objects in the real world, contrary to virtual servers they don’t stop „to exist“ just because they’re no longer yours.

Previously you could only rent physical servers for an entire month. If you’re doing this the price is still the same. But going forward it will be possible to rent for a portion of the month only (x amount of hours).

This isn't a particularly good way to learn RSA, and Javascript isn't a good environment to teach it. It's better to use Python, which at least has bignums. And obviously, seeing a wrong implementation of RSA isn't at all essential for implementing secure systems, contrary to the article's claims. Few people will actually need to implement RSA, and for those people, all those details that the article gets wrong really matter.

The code here doesn't even work, partly because it calls euclideanAlgorithm when the author means extendedEuclidean, but also because Javascript only has 53-bit integers and the modular-multiplication code uses [edit] 60-bit intermediates when N is 30 bits long.

While we might think that much of the world's plastic waste is recycled, only 9% is. Half of the world's plastic still goes straight to landfill. Another fifth is mismanaged – meaning it is not recycled, incinerated, or kept in sealed landfills – putting it at risk of being leaked into rivers, lakes, and the ocean.

I misworded my first sentence, I meant that 80% either goes to the landfill or it's not recycled, but apparently it's more like 70%.
I’m willing to bet this has nothing to do with recyclability and everything to do with less expensive manufacturing.

> This may sound callous but I think parents are much more OK with their oldest son/dqughter taking bigger risks if there are other 4 ones at home than if that's your only child and losing him/her is the end of your lineage. Not saying that more kids work as a genetic backup, but I think that for sure that creates a subconscious effect in the parents' risk assessment.

Well, actually you're not totally off. Having more kids (we have three, more on the way hopefully) definitely lowers the pressure on individual ones. But moreover, and more importantly, seeing our friends with large families (5+), the biggest reason the kids can play is that the older siblings are there. When we get together with a few other families of that size, the oldest kids are like 8 - 10 (i.e., old enough to let us know if the littles are in serious trouble). It's really easy to let your kids go play in the woods by themselves if you trust the older ones to run and tell you if something is wrong. Bonus points for having multiple families with the same arrangement so one can tell you something is wrong while the group is still 'supervised'.

My eldest girl (one of the youngest in the group) is convinced that the older kids are still 'kids', but she also naturally listens to them despite having a dominant personality herself. Thus, she gets to have fun with them, while we are happy the kids have some sense in the group.

So from my perspective I think the following is true:

1. Most people have one or two kids. This makes the child density very low. Parents today have to actually work to get their kids around other kids.

2. The way cities are set up makes it hard for kids to interact. While we live in a walkable neighborhood and some of our friends with large families do too, they're unfortunately not well connected except by car, so my wife or I have to make an effort to see them. Luckily, we're good friends with the parents, but otherwise this would make it difficult.

3. Schooling artificially limits the age range kids are exposed to. Obviously, you only get kids your age in your class, but because of (1), even if you got to know their siblings, you still only get one more age, and siblings are likely to not be super far apart.

4. Yes, parents certainly feel more trepidation when they've invested everything into one kid, versus investing everything into multiple kids. I don't see how anyone can honestly doubt this. I don't even think it's callous. Just reality.

I mean, I saw it with my grandparents, who had more kids than my parents did. They were easily taken care of in their old age by the multiple children they had, whereas by choosing a smaller family (not totally their choice), my parents put a much greater burden on my brother and I (mostly me, since I live closer). That's just the truth of the thing.
