The most surprising to me is that NodeJS says they are affected https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/openssl-november-20...


The offical NodeJS binaries statically link to OpenSSL so they have the be patched explicitly for OpenSSL vulnerabilities.


They're only affected in the sense that newer versions of Node use OpenSSL 3.x.

> Node.js v18.x and v19.x use OpenSSL v3. Therefore these release lines are impacted by this update.

> Node.js 14.x and v16.x are not affected by this OpenSSL update.

> At this stage, due to embargo, the exact nature of these defects is uncertain as well as the impact they will have on Node.js users.

> After assessing the impact on Node.js, it will be decided whether the issues fixed require immediate security releases of Node.js, or whether they can be included in the normally scheduled updates.


Might be more surprising to you that it looks like you're shadowbanned with all your comments showing up dead (last 2 were vouched). I glanced at your post history and couldn't see why so you might want to send an email to hn@ycombinator.com.


I wonder if they are built with stack protector turned on in the compiler flags.


What is difficult with ffmpeg is the sub-language in each argument, which depends on the filter you’re using. I can learn to lookup the manual, but if I have to go to the internet to learn the syntax of the filter, I’m better off googling my usecas.


And using multiple filters in one call is even more funny. Getting the output and parse it too, as it can be different in different versions and it's terribly inconsistent between filters.


There are studies that the larger the bed (at home) and the fancier the reception, the shorter the marriage. But more friends means longer marriage. Basically a barbecue with heaps of mates predicts the longest marriages.

Of course the stats above are the land of correlations-not-causations; larger bed may mean financially more stable therefore more independant and less dependent on the partner’s income, or similar. Still fun ;)


In French, no space before a comma or a period (unless want to explicitly communicate your disdain for computery things or you’re above 60) but we do put a space before : ? !

Example: « Pas de palais : pas de palais ! »

(^Quote from the Asterix movie that will be way more useful to you for making French friends in a bar than saying « I can’t speak French » in French)


This is actually a really interesting example of the "space before punctuation" thing rather than " space before punctuation ".

Also: it looks like we're using colons differently, is that right?


We use colons for the same reason as in English, but there is a space before colons in French (Microsoft Word inserts it automatically for you in French), and no uppercase after the colon.


Atlassian has always forbidden to talk about the performance of their products in their ToS and in their previous EULA. We all know why, but we don’t talk about it.

One of my customers even raised the issue with them, saying it would cause harm to the company if it came to be known, but they dodgeball’ed it with legal.


I work with beaten husbands and most often, the beating starts because of their inability to produce income for the wife. Most divorces start after a layoff too.

If you believe you have value beyond your ability to produce, it’s nice, many people transform beliefs into truth by excluding all opposite evidence. Meanwhile, keeping the wife is way more correlated with produce than other factors like weight or unmeasurable things (aka: love and attention).


or Gmail. From there, control on any online account you have.

Gmail used to be the argument to log in to their services. Now, if you use Gmail, it’s probably better to dodge the other services, by fear of losing Gmail.


But not acting could be worse, it could ruin the whole sector of Java, Scala and the JVM, be it discredit or economic irrelevance.


I didn’t give facebook my phone, my email has timed out (and facebook knows it, it deactivated my email) and I forgot my password, more or less intentionally. So the only thing tying me to Facebook is my browser cookie. I have to say, I’m surprised I’ve been able to keep this account open for years in this state, it’s almost as if they really wanted me to stay. But it’s possible to keep a facebook account alive with no accurate contact information.


Gmail itself was in beta, until recently. Everything was in beta.
