It seems particularly galling that their response to GitHub was to essentially throw their hands up and say "We don't want to change anything, fix it for us". I think GitHub had a near perfect response to this, they analyzed

This might be the most honest thing Trump has ever said: > I play to people’s fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts. People w

As a type 1 this sounds great, but my concern is if you have this sack of cells sitting in your body that's insulated from the immune system, what happens if some kind of infection manages to take hold inside of the sack? I don't

Not quite, failing to talk to them would be not sending anything, what they're actually doing is much worse. Based on what people have seen it's sending random data to the device. E.G. I send it something like "Hello World&qu

This works fine for read only (I.E. query interface), but what about for non-idempotent endpoints? It seems like you'd need to provide BOTH a REST API and a GraphQL API, GraphQL for doing queries, and REST for everything else. Admitted

Actually it does which is kind of the point, it's just those conditions are fairly easy to meet. The TL;DR: version is that if you use LGPL code in your project you have to redistribute the source code of that LGPL code including copyr

Yeah, you could maybe argue that DMCA is kind of heavy handed but for a change it doesn't seem to be an abuse, it's actually being used for what it was intended. In particular the fact that he went through the trouble of spelling

Should probably use https://github.com/tecnickcom/tc-lib-barcode or https://github.com/tecnickcom/TCPDF both of which are mentioned in the DMCA notice.

He undermines his own argument right out of the gate. When he shows the part about which number should be used for the last element in the range there's still two valid choices, you could choose to stop at 3 with the understanding that

So, here's a question then, assuming that's true, why send it? If its been so thoroughly anonymized that nothing useful can be gleaned from it, why bother sending it in the first place? If it is possible to derive useful info from

We can't really say until/unless someone can find the unedited footage. Without knowing what's contained in the missing parts of the video it's all speculation. A number of people have speculated that the parts that got

Another piece of this puzzle might be shenanigans early on in the history of MtGox. There's been some speculation that something happened early on and MtGox lost a lot of BTC (either a hack, a glitch, or possibly a HD failed with a wal

Yes but there are degrees with these things. If you attempt to open a locked door they don't charge you with armed robbery, even if that door has a sign that says "employee's only". I'm not suggesting attempting a S

The problem is that "attempted hacking" is kind of a fuzzy thing. To go with your example is it "attempted robbery" if they catch you on camera scoping out the bank exits and camera angles? At what point does something g

My guess is that either his story is BS (entirely possible) or else they were trying to get him to incriminate himself or possibly other members of Anonymous. I know the charges against him were trumped up, and based on what he was arrested

I remember reading about this case around the time the charges were originally filed and those are pretty much the charges. The guy ran nmap (or equivalent) on the website, and submitted some attempts at SQL injections in a few forms. That

Nope because MS doesn't create .doc files, they just make the software that saves/loads them. The issue in this case is that the Minecraft textures and item geometry are created by MS (by way of Mojang) and hence MS has the copyri

Open source doesn't mean it HAS been reviewed, it just means it CAN be reviewed. The same can not be said of closed source products. I rather trust the product that at least has the option of being reviewed by an independent source ove

The good news at least, is that the Nexus 6 seems unaffected by whatever this is (and may in fact be at the core of this). Nexus 6 shipped with 5.0.1 and I'm not aware of any Nexus 6 owners seeing this problem (when running stock 5.0.1

Right, that's the way you're supposed to use angular, but some people are lazy/bad/whatever and do crazy things with jquery either out of ignorance or because that's the way they're used to doing it. The though

One of my friends had an interesting thought concerning the new syntax. He suggested the changes from the old syntax are based primarily around making it nearly impossible to work with jquery. E.G. how do you even make a jquery selector for

It isn't really about efficient, it's about making it simpler to reason about. Functional style is a different way of reasoning about state than OO, but they're both fundamentally about abstracting state and making it simpler
