OpenSSF creates Project Security Baseline

The Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) has created a Project Security Baseline that helps open source projects of all sizes ensure that their efforts are secure. The baseline defines a minimum set of requirements for application security that developers can do to enforce secure development practices, such as how they need to configure their tools and infrastructure to ensure the integrity, confidentiality and availability of their work. According to Chris “CRob” Robinson, chief security architect at OpenSSF, there are three tiers to the baseline, depending on the number of contributors and maintainers. “Dozens of open source projects, when you think

Ask HN: What are things to work on that are not AI or QC?

Ask HN: What are things to work on that are not AI or QC? 3 points by babuloseo 31 minutes ago | hide | past | favorite | discuss I am working on a trademark and some IP that I started way back in 2020 for my own AI and looks like I made the right choice considering the paywalls and having to pay for API access and what not. So my question to Hackernews is what are things that you think we should focus on for the future? I really liked the /r/selfhosted project that someone made to diagnose

Introduction to Backend Development – The New Stack

Overview of Backend Development Backend development, often called server-side development, involves building and overseeing applications that run on computers controlled by developers rather than by users. Backend development focuses on managing data and applying business logic, whereas frontend development focuses on user experience. “Front” and “back” are taken from the perspective of the user. From the user’s perspective, their web browser is the front. The code executed behind the web app is at the back. As they control the entire environment, backend developers have the flexibility to use whichever programming language they prefer. In contrast, frontend developers are restricted to

How are sandwich generation developers dealing?

When you think of context-switching as a problem for software developers, you probably think of bouncing between your chat platform and your IDE, getting distracted by constant alerts, or changing gears from code review to performance review. At Stack Overflow, we’ve certainly given these challenges plenty of thought. But for many developers, these aren’t the biggest context-switching challenges they face. They’re also parenting young children while simultaneously taking care of their aging parents. These are the developers in the sandwich generation. Having family or other non-coding responsibilities competing for your attention isn’t a new problem for developers, of course. And

Full exposure: A practical approach to handling sensitive data leaks

This post originally appeared in Infosecurity Magazine, and is republished here with permission. In the fast-paced world of software development, accidents can happen—even to the best of us. One such unfortunate event is the accidental leakage of sensitive data such as private or internal source code. When this occurs, companies often find themselves in a frantic rush to assess the situation, leading them down the rabbit hole of trying to determine just how exposed their sensitive data really is. However, this quest for degrees of exposure is a futile endeavor. There’s no such thing as “just a little bit exposed.”

Using Third-Party BSD-3 and MIT Licensed Code in My Open Source Library – Best Practices?

Hi everyone, I'm developing a public open source library and plan to incorporate some code from existing libraries licensed under BSD-3 and MIT. I'll be modifying the code slightly to better fit my needs and to avoid relying on dependencies that aren’t frequently updated. What steps should I take to ensure I’m in compliance with these licenses? For example, is it sufficient to include an acknowledgment in my README that credits the original libraries and provides links to their projects? Are there any additional considerations or best practices I should follow? Thanks in advance for your guidance! P.D. My open
