A relative ran an online community. It was small, but not tiny There was some cyber-bullying (for lack of a better word) going on. My relative called law-enforcement, then was referred to the FBI. A case was filed and was told they would ci

I feel it should almost be mentioned: It seems to me that the students did this on the existing reputation of the University. The University had been contributing and were generally trusted. So maintainers were reviewing the code based on t

Yes! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAbG8Oi-SvQ&list=PL9FzW-m48f... I really enjoyed his style and he does a good job hitting all the important points.

I’ve been using Godot for the last month. It’s been so fun to get back to game development as a hobby (it’s how I got into software development). I’ve tried many other game engines in the last few years but Godot just really ... works for m

One of my first practical pieces of software I wrote was for Winamp. I noticed at the time Winamp didn't support using the Media Keys unless it was focused. So I whipped up a simple application that listens to the media keys, then forw

I had a brand new computer that i built at the start of the year. 100% new hardware. Brand new install of windows. Installed Steam, installed CS:GO. And I was unable to play because Steam flagged my system for cheating. The fix was to run s

Fair point. I guess I'm just not approaching it from the same angle as you. I am just assuming they're doing that kind of work, but are not publicly giving advice until they feel confident in that advice. Maybe I'm wrong in g

I think there's an argument to be made that we can make the cost benefit analysis with or without assuming the vaccine is a silver-bullet. The CDC is choosing to not make that assumption and make the analysis that way. I don't thi

Good to know. Thanks!

To me the justification is: we're in the midst of what we already know to be a global pandemic. The number of lives lost is nothing to scoff at. We do not want to declare victory until we know we can declare victory. Personally, I feel

I like Linus's generalization of (in my words): - If you like the idea of sharing code and want people to share code back. Use GPL - If you like the idea of sharing code, and merely want credit for it. Use BSD. Your point about patent

My understanding isn't that they're not actually "registering" anything. But rather just putting a piece of cloth they bought on amazon on their animal they and claiming it to be so. They're abusing a part of the la

It depends on the relationship the third party has with the 1st party. https://github.com/truevault/hipaa-compliance-developers-gui... was on HN a week ago. It seemed to jive pretty well with our internal policies at t

I'm really sad that Swarm didn't take off. I used it extensively at a job for deploying production replicas for developers and full-integration testing (the plan was to eventually deploy prod the same way). It was SO nice to use.

I agree. I remember years ago a friend of mine was found dead (took his own life) and a local news site reported it and had a comment section. It was beyond horrible. People were commenting about how glad they were that this person they *di

I try not to complain when proper competition causes improved behavior. I’m a fan of “the new MS”. Do I trust them? Not any more than a massive company. But do I love all the open source software they’re producing now? Yes! Do I pretend tha

This is more or less also how IBM operates. I know someone who had to interview for other teams at IBM because their other IBM project ended. After a while of trying to navigate the politics of it all they just gave up on IBM completely.

I don’t believe that Open Source == Less Secure. See also: Linux, Ngix, Postgres... Many many open source projects are secure. They’re not perfect but an argument could be made that they’re more secure BECAUSE they’re open. Software with cr

The scary part is who has built tools like this before but people didn't know they existed? At least now we all have access to the same tool. Maybe this one won't have everything the "secret" tools have. But it's a

Yeah. I’m not sure people would be okay with people protesting outside a hospital and blocking people from getting there safely. If their message requires blocking people from getting healthcare, maybe they need to find a new message?

For me it’s personal history. My kids LOVE watching videos of me and my wife when we were younger. Luckily for them, my wife’s family converted all their videos to digital and so it’s easy to watch. I’m itching to do the same to my parents’

Yes and no. Depends on tenancy requirements. I know with docker and other common Linux container strategies you would want to keep each tenant on their own VM. A container isn’t safe enough. So if this is your org’s only action. Then you’re

Sounds to me these men are victims of abusive software bugs. They have a finger print... it may not be unique or normal. But pressing their inked finger onto paper will leave a print. I assume the software is looking for common pieces of a

Could you tell me if you’re using your own domain if you can route all emails to your domain to one inbox? I’ve been grandfathered into a free GApps account and use my own domain thru there. I’ve started signing up for services using a uniq

Back in ye olden days, apps either shipped with their own updater, or shipped with no updater. If my understanding of the history is right, that's how Steam was born. A unified update tool for Valve's games. It was pretty cool tha

Sure... Also technically, I think they called it something different on the iPod Touch as well, if memory serves me right. :)
