Pnpm has a new setting to stave off supply chain attacks

news.ycombinator.com Zoltan Kochan 2025-09-24 23:12:56

There have been several incidents recently where popular packages were successfully attacked. To reduce the risk of installing a compromised version, we are introducing a new setting that delays the installation of newly released dependencies. In most cases, such attacks are discovered quickly and the malicious versions are removed from the registry within an hour. The new setting is called minimumReleaseAge . It specifies the number of minutes that must pass after a version is published before

Condor Technology to Fly "Cuzco" RISC-V CPU into the Datacenter

news.ycombinator.com Jeffrey Burt 2025-09-22 13:48:01

Once a hyperscaler or a cloud builder gets big enough, it can afford to design custom compute engines that more precisely match its needs. It is not clear that the companies that make custom CPUs and XPUs are saving money, but they are certainly gaining control and that is worth something. Arm made a push based on the power-efficient nature its architecture, and Nvidia has become a key player in AI with its powerful GPUs and now its “Grace” Arm server CPUs.

European ant is the first known animal to clone members of another species

news.ycombinator.com Sophie Berdugo 2025-09-25 02:27:01

The same Iberian harvester ant (Messor ibericus) queen produced the hairy male Messor ibericus (on the left) and the hairless male Messor structor (on the right), despite them being members of distantly related species. Queen ants in southern Europe produce male clones of an entirely different species — tearing up the playbook of reproductive biology and suggesting we need to rethink our understanding of species barriers.

One Token to rule them all – Obtaining Global Admin in every Entra ID tenant

While preparing for my Black Hat and DEF CON talks in July of this year, I found the most impactful Entra ID vulnerability that I will probably ever find. This vulnerability could have allowed me to compromise every Entra ID tenant in the world (except probably those in national cloud deployments). If you are an Entra ID admin reading this, yes that means complete access to your tenant.

“What this whole debate comes down to is who controls the skies,” Republican representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia told the audience at a House Oversight Committee hearing on Tuesday. “Do we believe in God and that he has dominion over his perfect creation of planet Earth? Do we believe that he has given us everything we need to survive as a civilization since the beginning of time?

Alien: Earth just dropped a chest-burstingly good episode ahead of next week’s finale (read io9’s recap here), but fans are just as eager to learn what’s next for the sci-fi series on the big screen. One who would know is Fede Álvarez, who helmed last year’s Alien: Romulus and is closely involved in its sequel. He’s not directing it, but he’s helping choose who does—and he co-wrote the script with a bit of important Alien history in mind. While some fans (ahem) think Alien 3 is actually pretty

A MacBook Pro touchscreen? About damn time

It's somewhat ironic that Apple, the company that popularized the use of capacitive touchscreens with the iPhone and iPad, has been staunchly opposed to bringing our fingers anywhere near MacBook screens. Meanwhile, Microsoft and PC makers jumped at the opportunity to build touchscreen laptops years ago. The tablet-focused Windows 8 was a failure, sure, but touchscreens led to excellent convertible notebooks and hybrid tablets like the Surface lineup. Now, according to a new rumor from longtime

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR iOS 26 is out now for iPhone users, and many have been reporting problems with Liquid Glass dark mode icons looking crooked. The system renders these icons with a highlight around the edge, and at the wrong angle, an illusion can make them appear tilted. In motion, the effect should be far less noticeable, but screenshots can still look very off.
