This is exactly the point. All they had to was use their own videos for the tests and readme and the dcma takedown would probably never would have happen. Plausible deniability.

As others have pointed out already... this is a blatant rip off of CSS Scan https://getcssscan.com/

not only is the website text copied, the look and feel of the product is ripped off as well.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was some sort of malware.

so does this mean that mcdonalds has publicly accessible api exposed to the internet?

ah.... yeah... they still will.

just cause they can't get a ransom, doesn't mean the data it's valuable as they can still sell it on the black market to carders and other gangs.

it's very ignorant to think that just because you cut off one area of revenue for these gangs that the problems will stop.

and say they do make it illegal for state entities to pay ransoms... then what? what is going to happen when a ransom attack does happen? they contact the fbi... great... now what? how do they get their data back? what obligation does the fbi have to tracking down the gang and getting the data back? what's the time line?

see... the issue i see with making it illegal for state entities to pay ransoms is that you tie the hands of the victim without any guarantees that law enforcement will help and help in a timely manner. i see this as a lose, lose situation.

is it just me or did anyone just not get what was different about them? i had a debate with some yesterday trying to justify why them over netflix or any other existing streaming service for that matter and they couldn't, i couldn't either.

yeah, no... ORMs are A LOT more than just mashing strings together to perform a query.

they are there to take care of all of the crap that you don't want or need to worry about. for instance, parametrizing string against sql injections, handling transactions properly, concatenating joins, proper pagination and sql syntax discrepancies to name a few. and let's not to forget to mention things that go BEYOND the database interactions that are built on top of the ORM like data validations, custom properties, callbacks and so on.

there are way more benefits to using an ORM than not using one. a good ORM (like ActiveRecord) will let you break out of it and write raw sql when you need the perform boost while preventing yourself from shooting yourself in the foot.

* i've written and contributed to a couple of ORMs in my lifetime

cause he is selling a product based around this and the submitted title doesn't even mention this. its a bait and switch.

ah... so now we know the really for all this fuss from the author. it has nothing to do with respect for others and all about creating a market sell his product.

"I tend to find those who feel the need to "fight against this" are the ones who are not on the receiving end."

i'm constantly mistaken for a white male. i'm on the receiving end more often than you think.

i would rather offend one person than cater to one person. if everyone else is fun loving and easy going, you do the entire team an injustice by pandering to one toxic person and keeping them on the team... get rid of them. that is what a professional does... professionals value the team more than one person. one person can be replaced easily, a team cannot.

love how you get downvoted for asking a legitimate question. this is EXACTLY why this topic is toxic and literally exists for shaming.

please... please stop. i really don't care for all this inclusive language crap and all it is is an attempt to shame people. if you get that easily offended by the way people talk you need to look deep at yourself and see what is the true reason for it. maybe you have deep down self trauma, anger issues or something else that needs to be sort out in therapy. btw... there is _nothing_ wrong in admitting that you have a problem and getting help for it.

what's even funnier is that this whole inclusive language shaming is something i only see in the tech world. perhaps this is because this industry is more ego centric than any other industry, i don't know, but i know a slew of people in the financial world who roll their eyes every time i have conversations about this.

someone explain to why if this was a commercial product for all these years and the _numerous_ (my god that list is impressive) clients that are using it, they need $100K to make it open source? Last I heard github is free. am i missing things?

i don't see what the issue is. his project is licensed under apache2:

https://tldrlegal.com/license/apache-license-2.0-(apache-2.0...

i mean, as long as they include the license, they don't have to give any credit whatsoever.

remember this, companies do things according to their legal department and i'm almost certain that their legal department said flat out that if they credit the author they could set themselves up for a lawsuit down the line. so they followed the license requirements to the book.

if the author is pissed about a big company using his project and them not giving him a props, he should have used a license that requires an attribution of the original author.

there is always the exception to the rule and i'm glad that your workplace is an environment you can share stuff like that. however, for most of us, we would get fired or condemned if we spoke freely like that.

to be honest...

i did that for almost 20 years where i previously worked. i thought of my co-workers as family and friends and it got me no where and caused lots of stress (its hard to say no to someone when they are friends). i don't know, maybe it had more todo with co-dependency than anything else.

now i've been working at a place for almost 3 years and i'm not friends with a single person here. i don't let these people know my business and have a complete separation of personal and work relationship. i honestly have less stress cause i can say no without giving a crap if my co-worker gets mad at me or doesn't want to talk to me (which i prefer). i do my job and go home to be with my friends and family.

also, if another opportunity comes my way, i have no problem giving my 2 weeks notice and packing my bags. life is a lot better now.

not trying to sound like a dick...

everyone has to get out of the house and making actual friends in life. co-workers aren't friends, bosses aren't friends, clients aren't friends, work relationships aren't friends. we all need human interaction... join a club, a gym, yoga, bike club, whatever, just interact with people that doesn't involve talking about work. and sitting home and playing video games while good, isn't getting outside.

"Why do people like the Mandalorian?"

two words... baby f*cking yoda. seriously, i have tons of friends who hate star wars but love baby yoda and they watch it for the cuteness.

if there is one thing that disney knows how to do is to create a story around a product, that product being baby yoda. netflix isn't even in the same universe as disney when it comes to content creation.

this is a great idea... tell everyone that its a simulation while really being ransonware :)

amen to this. i've tried both flex and grid and grid was so overly complicated. flex is simple and has always worked for me even on mobile.

The best tutorials I've seen for both Flexbox and Grid are from Kyle at Webdev Simplified. Seriously check out this dude's channel. He explains everything perfectly.

i do the same thing over the phone and through google meet. i don't ever have to go to see a client face to face. some clients i have are even across the country and i have never personally met them.

point being is that if you can navigate your clients through the correct questions, cut down on the small talk and have focused, guided meetings, there is no reason to have to meet someone face to face.

sorry to say, but most of the people that i know that don't like working from home are micromanagers (who have to know what every employee is doing at every second of the day), people who like to gossip (usually the people that hang around the water cooler all day) or warm bodies (co-workers who do nothing all day anyway but want to be at work so they can act like they do something)

people who are self-motivated or like to GSD, don't want the distractions that come along with an office or waste their time commuting.

can someone explain to me why you would use RH over something like Fidelity who has 24/7/365 support and no commission trades? honestly the first thing i do when it comes to a service (especially financial) is see if they have a way in getting in touch with someone 24/7/365. i would rather pay to know i can call and talk to a human then save money. seems like these people lost dollars tripping over pennies. even if a trade cost $5 a trade, i would still pay it just to know i can reach someone.

i don't know how many people actually install this extension, but it is specifically designed to clicks ads so you don't have to :)

the vscode remote extension is amazing. you can run your code directly in the wsl instance.

it's not just windows per say, the fact that you can have multiple linux installations without going through the hassle of setting up something like vmware or virtualbox (with all of their quirks) is such a timesaver.

while the concept looks simple enough, i think it would covey the idea better to have actual screenshots from the various platforms.

also, if you want to get more people using i would suggest creating a wordpress plugin since that is the platform that most digital agencies (your target market) use for SEO.
