I also had a bad experience, but I'm willing to throw all that out of the window after seeing that it had 128 unified memory on a CUDA enabled device. This is an AI native dream machine from what I can tell. I'm almost obligated to buy one.
You mean there's no excuse for cooldowns? Yeah, there is. Security consultants have for years been saying that you need to always keep your dependencies updated. This is often parroted without any context of whether a package needs to be updated or not.
And what's a proper cooldown? 1 day? 3 days? 1 week? 1 month? If you have a vulnerability, now you're exposed during that cooldown period. There's no straight forward or easy answer here.
I am speaking from my own experience here with having to sit in during these discussions where security "advice" is provided to the development team without understanding what it entails or any tradeoffs. I found that keeping things relatively secure is hard work and needs to be a part of culture.
It's stuff like this that honestly makes it very hard for me to take anyone working at Meta seriously. How much communication had to happen to enable this feature? It really casts doubt across the organization at multiple levels, don't tell me a single engineer caused this.
Yeah Intellij is incredible, and I believe it's Swing. And Eclipse is ambulatory, but the SWT/OSGI frameworks are fighting yesterday's battles. All of this aside, I yet to find this level of IDE/Debugger in any other language.
