    As long as there us incentive to do so, malicious actors will exploit the source code whether it is open or closed…

    Making something open source does make it easier for malicious actors, but it also allows honest actors to find and fix exploits before they can be used - something they won’t/can’t do for closed source, meaning you have to rely on in-house devs to review/find/fix everything.







  • The rest of the world got the right version of the man’s work

    Which is (or at least should be) “Aluminium” because that’s the internationally agreed IUPAC spelling.

    We gave up the cooler spelling of Sulfur to be consistent with IUPAC - if we can do that, then surely giving up on “-num” should be a cakewalk.


  • Except it’s not clickbait - I’ll cite Wikipedia so you can look yourself, but they’re not the same thing.

    Rose Gold is a proper alloy of Gold, made with Copper.

    Purple Gold is an “intermetalic” (which have a different molecular structure to normal alloys and thus are more brittle), and is made with Aluminium.

    Due to it’s brittleness even amongst intermetalics, it is considered hard to work with, much more so than a proper alloy like Rose Gold. The only similarity they share is their colour ranges can overlap dependent on how they’re made.
