Old issue, so why post it now make it sound like MS demands something?

It’s a regression, so ffmpeg should fix a regression.

Just not in Java…

I think you’re biased against Java. Amazon was started in C/C++ and Java J2EE during times when to configure a webserver required writing like 300 lines of XML just to handle cookies, browser cache and a login page. Until recently BMW had their own JRE implementation. It’s not a secret that simcards, including these in Tesla cars run JavaCard too, even government issues sim cards in EU have to run Java Card, not C++. Everything was always fine with Java until ECMA Script appeared and made people iterate on software versions faster. New programming languages and team organisation methodologies left some programming languages in the dark, but this included C# too. All are quickly catching up. If Java was so bad, it wouldn’t be here with us today, like Perl.

There are two schools:

1. the best stack is the one you know best
2. the best stack is the one designed for the job

Remember that Google was written in Python and Java. Facebook in PHP. iOS in Objective-C. GitHub in Ruby on Rails.

After doing it for 15 years, I must be good at it and everything should be easy.

Heres the blog post about the change dated in June this year

Half year too late for that outrage anyway :)

Fantastic way to start a shitstorm. You people don’t even use search function logged out, because if you did, you would know they changed it in 2016. Microsoft has nothing to do with it.

Yeah, fuck Microsoft. They haven’t changed at all.

GitHub changed that a few months before acquisitions talks even started lol

I’ve thought of doing pen testing (later on in my career), but I’ve come to realize that it is better if users just started using privacy-respecting FOSS software like Signal, because if you give a hacker enough time, patience, and the right resources, they could hack into anything.

Your idea of pentesting is so far from what it looks like in reality that it’s probably not a path for you, at least not now. Let me explain: how am I going to protect my banking app using Signal? How will I know if our JSON unmarshalling library used by transaction service isn’t vulnerable or exploitable? What FOSS software shows me live dashboards of deployed software in container and their security risk?

everybody still needs them and they’re not going away any time soon.

Bank is a civilization old concept, it has always been here and will be. Banks are so durable, they will run after our civilization ends.

Being offline doesn’t mean not using a computer. I still had IDE and https://devdocs.io/ for better ctrl+f experience.

Learning from a documentation. Got a book, went offline and finished the book and training exercises without looking for anything online.

It doesn’t make the content in any way out of date

I didn’t mean this as IDE thing, there is an extension to postgres and server configuration for mysql/mardiadb. Posted the links above

It’s supported in MySQL and MariaDB out of box:

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/mysql-command-options.html#option_mysql_safe-updates

In Postgres there is an extension for it:

https://supabase.com/docs/guides/database/extensions/pg-safeupdate

All (doesn’t seem like MsSQL supports it, I thought that’s a pretty basic feature) databases have special configuration that warn or throw error when you try to UPDATE or DELETE without WHERE. Use it.

To shreds

I have this on my to-do list, but sorry, can’t promise when I’ll make a working demo. afair the trick was to use something like “podman in-podman”, like dind works in GitLab runners and then some env-vars manipulation so TC thinks it runs in docker, something like

DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock and I use alpine as gitlab-ci helper image:

        image = "docker.io/alpine:3.17.2"
        helper_image_flavor = "alpine"

not sure if that matters, but i had lots of strange problems running with Ubuntu helper images, most were DNS propagation issues

Seems like you have some organizational and technical debt in the company that would be worth addressing before agreeing to be on-call

thats a really good deal, thanks for answering
