I got contacted by a security's researcher about one of the Lib I wrote years ago for NodeJS.

He enlightened me about a catastrophic recursion in one of the regex used in the Lib.

Not only did he provide a full explanation of the problem with great reference but also to help test the fixed regex.

I love the open-source community 😄

Hi,

Good new bad news,

Good news, I'm on the final step for a position at Simple!

Bad news, my unemployment got pulled again and it will anywhere from two to three weeks until it kicks back in and even if I get lucky enough to land the position at Simple, I probably won't start anywhere soon enough that it will fix this gap. Any help is seriously appreciated, I'm not even sure if I can pay rent (and food and other bills are another thing entirely). I know I've already asked a lot and I'm really sorry to be asking again but I'm hoping this will be the last time for a while, even a boost helps

Advice from a good friend, when I commented that I feel especially stupid and incompetet today, when I'm debugging my own code:

It's normal that the hardest to find bugs have the dumbest causes.

My wife suggested we vacation in Belgium this year. All I know is: good beer and good chocolate. I'm sold.

I’ve declared today to be Hawaiian shirt day. So you can, umm, wear a Hawaiian shirt if, umm, you want to.

Better security training: watch season one of "Mr Robot", then burn all your electronics and move to a cabin.

These are LimeBikes. You rent one for $1 per 30 minutes through a phone app, then leave it wherever you happen to hop off so someone else can use it. They’re all over the place in my town and I love it.
