Didn’t someone create this same thing a few weeks ago? 🤔

For anyone who cares, you can get this same behavior of a normal line break by holding shift while pressing enter as well.

Yeah, depending on the branch I’ve found that method not to be too reliable. openrss offers branches for RSS feeds for commits on every branch though: e.g. https://openrss.org/github.com/octokit/octokit.rb/commits/main

Ooh that reminds me. Been cranky all morning…

This is 👍. For those wondering, RFCs have been around for years in software engineering–since the beginning of the internet, practically.

As a software engineer myself, I can confidently say they’re a great way to build complex software in a more democratic way.

They require a certain level of agreement and consensus, which makes them take a while to ratify. But you almost always end up with better software in the end.

Take that, Stack Overflow! Programming.dev on deck!!! Let’s gooooooo

Yeah I think this was hastily done to prevent the XSS injection attacks that were happening IIRC. They implemented encoding for content, but looks like they never got around to fully decoding it.

Issue could’ve been avoided by just restricting the encoding to when the user types content in (and before database insertion), and decoding when showing the content in the UI.

Yeah they’d have to maintain upgrades security patches etc and could get pricey depending on how much storage and bandwidth is involved.

My comment is in reference to the UI. Auth and APIs require a different set of tech and have nothing to do with the UI.

I appreciate improving the UI, but why all the frameworks? Building simple static pages using the native web platform would give you a super fast site without all the cruft. Using Rust in place of JavaScript? This just sounds like we’re trading a “frankenstein’s monster” with something that will eventually end up being another version of it.

I often wonder if FAANG’s determination to find who can write the best algorithms backfires, and may be the reason a lot of the work they produce seems so over-engineered.

Does anyone know what the author’s point is here? Failing to see it
