People keep adding whole tmp/ directories or output binaries to repositories, accidents like this stuff just happening. It is not a workflow, but for a scenario: people trying to run some test, on real service, to debug some weird issue, will temporary put credentials and forget to remove them before comiting the fix. Sure, someone probably will notice it in code review but it is too late if repo was public.
That isn't so obvious to me. For all intents and purposes this is no different from crack. I am not sure if DMCA is right tool but I totally understand why Microsoft wouldn't want to host it.
My understanding was that `revanced-patches` contained just that: patches. The patches themselves are applied to the target apps on the end user device, so revanced doesn't need to host prepatched binaries that they don't own the copyright to.
Other moral or legal issues aside, this is a pretty clear abuse of the DMCA as far as I understand it.
No, Revanced only has the patches themselves in the repo, there's zero source code or binary or anything copyright related belonging to Google here, the DMCA is invalid.
The part of Coursera I find valuable are tests/exams/assignments that verify what you have learnt or at least require some activity over passive watching of video.
How exactly "Let it crash" solves whole class of bugs in code, that cause the application return wrong result but complete without any errors? That is the stuff I will be writing unit/integration tests, no matter the language/platform.
Let it crash does't solve these problems. Let it crash solves random disconnections, machines dying and being replaced by others, unexpected network partitions and processes being killed because OOM.
I would be surprised if you write unit tests for these cases.
Weapon smiths might be gone but weapons manufacturing is as big or even bigger than ever in history. So until humanity does a fundamental shift and stops all armed conflicts, it is as safe job as any.
Nowadays it looks like we are getting close to autonomous vehicles - but it was the same 20 years ago - I predicted then that drivers as a profession will disappear soon - and it still didn't happen.
Like many people have already noticed: we overestimate what can be accomplished in the short term and underestimate what can be accomplished in the long term.
Doesn't matter for b2b, company needs to stay complaint. Anyway experimented with similar unlockable CPUs in past, I wonder what the results where, since they are only now going back to the idea.
