People pay for 2fa and password management. Granted the model of payment for those is usually shifted, but there could have been a sold product on the store. I would pay for the Adblockers I use, but just donate instead (when possible.) I could see a lot of b2b companies selling their extensions.
Edit: I have maybe 20 extensions installed in general. Everything to killing websites ability to affect my ability to copy/paste to transcoders.
The CDC just said yesterday that they confirm airborne transmission, and from the case of the choir whom was 6 feet apart, it sure makes it seem beyond one table worth.
Maybe not, but manipulating emotions is proven to have happened, and that seems pretty dangerous. Then it's the next mental hop to having the gov push their agenda that way.
Only allowing one time downloads seemed reasonable to stop 1 and 2 stage payloads. Doesn't help exfiltration, but theres so many options for that anyway. One time downloads may be annoying for non-web savvy people, but seemed like a reasonable tradeoff.
I didn't think about exfiltration - good point. I guess they could just host their own instance on <insert compromised server here> like the good old days.
On other projects, we solved this by incorporating virustotal checking. Sure, a 0day or custom malware may get through, but thats a small number at the end of the day.
Good ideas - for a while, before I had to switch it for work, I seperated work/fun by which OS I was on. Queue me picking up working on a new project and it changed that.
Then you make a vm or whatnot and install all the old versions of everything. I haven't seen an open source project in a while that doesn't have old versions for download easily. Still, annoying if you can't stand that kind of stuff.
(people seem to be in two camps: either they hate it or have almost no problem with it)
I ran into this too. Rails has changed a lot in 7 years, even if you don't see it. My friend wanted to learn and somehow found the original demo/getting started page and was frustrated.
Or use the old version of Gradle? It sounds like creating a vm/container/whatever with the old versions of everything is the fastest path, although I understand not wanting to do it after some point.
This somehow brings up the fact that we say "innocent until proven guilty" but we don't really treat people like that, see: arraignment amounts/remand, police interrogation, the fact that you both have to know your rights and have the money to at least get decent representation for most things.
Are you kidding? I've had config files overwritten, x11/wayland/whatever just break after an update, wirelesss/power drivers just...change, sometimes to the point of having to recover it from a mono-screen tty, or updates fuck up the fs or something else that requires me to hit up single user mode.
Except no one seems to wear them fully correctly, and a lot of people don't have the proper rating of mask. Not to mention theres a limited supply of masks.
It depends on the person. Not everyone needs code review to strive for better and know when you're doing poorly. Collaboration is an easy way to get that, but it's not required. The same people that have the personality to learn things on their own often are the same that will improve their code over time without someone else.
I think op is saying that they were given another airbnb to replace the bad one, and in doing so, you lose the ability to review the first, bad location.
I know this is late, but a lot of us really want to hire people, but there are a lot of people out there that are overconfident in their skillset, and sometimes you have to do a quick sanity check to weed them out. I agree, though, that most you can tell before that point. I'd never make someone donate a day to a test, but 15 mins of whiteboarding can go a long way if someone doesnt have a lot of publically available code to go look at (and, a lot of devs don't, due to working on public repos)
