because he changed the repo permissions to allow the UnrealEngine organisation write access, and github automatically watches repos for you when you're granted write access.

exactly, but one wrong doesn't excuse another. just because I didn't have my firewall configured correctly doesn't mean software that I use should a) have insecure defaults and b) …

antirez added that section after I mentioned that it was lacking on the comments section of this article, see http://www.antirez.com/news/96#comment-2351969000

Just been hacked through this method and cannot believe how redis can ship with such ridiculously insecure defaults, and that they don't even MENTION the security concerns from the…

"If anyone feels this strongly about a certain group (like Elia), they will find "devil's advocate" (for a lack of better expression) reasons to disagree with them simply because t…

There are two reasons someone would make the non-utilitarian answer to the questions: - They wouldn't feel that they could bring them self to cause someone's death (but they could …

Ah, I completely misunderstood the original commenter and in my mind conflated "outright aggression since prior to WW2" stuff with the black money, I was probably confused because …

Empire is of no relevance to British citizens today, or for a long time, whereas this is. Also, I've never read anything about this mexican/bangladeshi/indian/russian/saudi black m…

This would be more of a story if the ruling went the other way. Someone threatens to kill people at work and loses his job, no shit. Imagine working with that person after you've h…

and what is wrong with that?

don't see how this is any different from the educational backbone infrastructure in the UK like JANET. JANET has been around since (and before) I was at school 15 years ago, and ha…

You got burnt out, no need to turn it into a sob story or a bitter industry rant. You couldn't manage your time effectively. By all means if you're unhappy change your lifestyle --…

I don't think it's unprofessional and I wouldn't want to work with anyone who did, so if that's the effect it has for some people, then it's self-fulfilling!

My immediate gut-feeling after reading it was the same (though perhaps less strong). Through the author's journey, the article seems to suggest there's either guilt or blame, and n…

You cannot cry propaganda without providing some evidence as to what is misleading or factually incorrect, because otherwise anyone can say anything is propaganda.

if that's the case, it's the job of the 'informed' guys to write similarly illuminating counter-arguments, because I've not found any yet.

Any output like this, unless maliciously fallacious, is contributing in some way to the general understanding of the software concerned and benchmarking best-practices, even throug…

The former :)

I don't care how involved he is in the case, I read his writing and I found it to be illuminating -- far more so than anything else I'd read on the subject. You can happily take th…

That FOSS Patents piece is the best commentary I've seen on the subject, thanks for bringing to my attention.

This is my deep learning enlightenment moment. 22/05/15

Yeah, I should've added the caveat that I'm not so good at that ;). Maybe this article is targeted at already outgoing types.

Can't say that this has been my experience. I moved to the other end of the country 2.5 years ago and still haven't really formed a social group. I started off heading out and doin…

Yet more programmer/tech industry denigration propped up by completely unproven assertions. Firstly most of this is based on the idea that as a programmer you are only either great…

I care not for provenance!
