Yandex.Robot is probably a food delivery robot.
Probably it's just a search bot like Googlebot.
Yandex.Robot is a delivery self-driving robot. The crawler bot is a part of Yandex.Search.

Using stolen code in an open-source project seems like a bad idea.
Someone could still get the uncopyrightable ideas out of it though.
Sort of. There may also be pantents involved. It'll be specially hard to defend against it when your inspiration came from the patented code itself.

#243Ukrainians probably hacked Yandex, because they thought, it is a Russian engine, but it is actually from Netherland/EU. They should be careful, otherwise Netherland will stop helping them with weapons pretty quickly.
it's just in Netherlands for tax evasion like many Russian Oligarchs ( https://www.deondernemer.nl/politiek/oekraine/oekraine-houth... ) We don't care. burn it to the ground
It's not even tax invasion, it is for sake of European legal system.

When I've been there arcadia was the primary SVN monorepo where everything was stored (and built by custom flavour of cmake). From what I heard it's still SVN and git was completely eradicated in the company.
This is pretty interesting to me. Usually companies will gradually switch over to git. This is the first time I've heard of a company using git and ditching it in favor of older technology.
Google also uses something close to SVN and explicitly avoids git. I don't think there's any sense of progression between the two. I think it comes down to which one fits your processes better.

I tend to think that it's not the govs tracking us that we should care about but the big tech. Yandex is one of them.
There are multiple levels of tracking... Governments being the top levels, then maybe global communication companies along with big tech titans... etc... AkA a complicated forest and/or tree of data?
That's complicated indeed. When I start thinking about who can track me (wi-fi, bluetooth and RFID scanners and surveillance cameras everywhere, my telecom provider, banks, public transportation, gmail etc., browser fingerprinting…) I just don't see any practical way to ultimately hide. Add the fundamental lack of trust to any device using ICs (evidence-based, field verifiable) and it becomes just insane.
In practice I just use a dumbphone and turn on my smartphone only to get a taxi (Yandex) or maybe see if my bus is coming (again Yandex). But my wife has her smartphone always on spying on us, not to mention all my colleagues. Also on my laptop I do use Yandex market, maps and read articles on Zen…
I can imagine that deep awareness of digital security issues may make one's life better in some situations but there's always a risk of becoming too much of an activist here. I think I'm quite geeky already.

#246This whole "build in the open" stuff has gone too far.
Some intentionally publish sources for audit and compatibility purpose, still proprietary though.

Then the governments requesting from the big tech your infos (and getting them). Same thing in the end.
This is true. But 'the government' (I'd rather say agencies and services) mostly doesn't care about us unless we do something 'special' and you basically can't hide from them. The big tech is always interested.

Lingua franca with all their contractors most likely.
At first I wanted to give a serious reply, but then I saw your (very aptly chosen, given the context) username and found myself wondering if HN rules allow parody accounts... However, I'll give one for those who've missed the irony: It's considered gauche to have ubiquitous non-english comments. Pretty much the only kosher use case is when you have to warn people not to modify otherwise bizarre looking code because o…
In many places I worked at in Brazil people will just write everything, even variable names, in Portuguese. That came down to the developers not speaking English at all.
Who considers it gauche to have software written in non-English? The Russians you mean? I certainly find it perfectly acceptable and even desirable depending on the contributor's English fluency.

In case of centralized development git creates too much friction, svn works better there.

#250Has anyone found the FSB back-door portal?
I imagine it's just an old good admin panel with a normal login.
