That does not sound like they were working in the main trunk. I do not believe you can run any production code that was self signed like this.

The worry is not about ML. It's about bot farms in India/China with real people behind the wheel. That's why CAPTCHA needs to be able to evolve without maintenance from the website operator.

The issue with that is so much of the software industry is propped up by advertising. There is nowhere to go without being involved with ads, so why fight it?

I'm a developer who uses Steamworks. Keys are free for us to generate and sell at will. Valve reserve the right to say no, but from what I can tell, their only policy is to not take the piss (selling millions of keys), and not to charg

How would you do it? If nobody sells your software, and nobody is donating.

It's not really possible to prevent that. E.g. a well crafted image can easily trigger an RCE on some older versions of Android: https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2019/02/08/android-vulnerab... Issues lik

The definition of assault rifle is very poorly defined. There are dangerous weapons on both sides of the definition.

I agree. Social distancing + vaccination is pretty much the only effective strategy so far. Lockdowns do enforce that, but they also create vast damage beyond what's needed.

It's become a politically charged subject. Conservatives are barely touching it because it's not a polite topic, and Labour outright are pretending it's not an issue. Also, this happened: https://metro.co.uk/w

Sorry dang, have no intention of spamming the website with different accounts. I'll pay more attention to the rules next time.

> Why use a gendered pronoun here? It’s a bit unfair that the only non-specific gendered pronoun relates to a bad programming practice. Spoiler alert, but making mistakes isn't just a male issue. Real representation means taking the

FAANG. The chairs at the office were super good. This is partly why I'm part of the pro WFO crowd - because then I don't need to spend thousands on getting a similar quality setup to the office.

Isn't the whole point of WebView that Firefox et al can provide it as well as Chrome?

Well I'm glad things are going good for you. Some of us are still struggling. Many people are too poor to splurge 1K on a luxury office chair. This article is about those people.

Exactly. I consider coffee breaks and the like to be a healthy part of work life balance. They stimulate new ideas and learning in a way that video conferencing does not. Software is not like back breaking warehouse labour (which I used to

Sorry, but no. Work is supposed to work for me, as well as me working for it. Some people might be fine with perfect compartmentalization of work, but I would find it soul crushing to just be a corporate machine for 8 hours a day.

Because WHO/WFH has become a zero-sum political game rather than an actual debate.

I'd argue China needs to engage in proper sanitation and stop treating citizens as disposable.

Thank the media for slandering the company, accusing it of perpetrating genocides, political strife, Russian election hacking conspiracy, etc... The reason they do this is being scared of liability, not a top-down desire to control.

This is exactly where I am. I'm a uni student who also works at a software company (apprenticeship) and my personal learning has cratered during lockdown. I went from being the happiest I ever had (finally, I was setting out to achieve

Eh... SQL is like the steering wheel in your first analogy. I'm not compiling or writing SQLite from scratch, simply operating it.

Yes, they do. Google doesn't use fingerprinting for ads. Go look at the privacy policy.

This is nothing to do with "Google's algorithms". The simple fact is, people do not subscribe without being prompted to. The reason all the top YT'ers are annoying about it, is precisely why they are successful. Things w
