11 543 employés de Microsoft se retrouvent submergés par une chaîne d’e-mails indésirables RTBF - 25 Janvier 2019

Jeudi, le personnel de Microsoft a dû faire face à une avalanche de courriers électroniques. Des milliers d’employés malchanceux ont été pris dans une chaîne d’e-mails indésirables.

Tout a commencé quand un employé a envoyé un message à tous ceux qui aident à gérer le compte GitHub de Microsoft, révèle le site Business Insider ▻https://www.businessinsider.fr/us/microsoft-employee-github-reply-all-email-storm-2019-1 . Ironie du sort, ce message original avait pour but de prévenir le personnel comment changer leurs paramètres GitHub pour obtenir moins de notifications.

GitHub est le site très populaire de partage open-source de codes pour programmeurs. Même avant son acquisition en 2018 pour 7,5 milliards de dollars, Microsoft utilisait déjà régulièrement ce site. Étant donné que Microsoft est le plus grand contributeur aux projets open-source sur GitHub, il n’est pas surprenant que ce message ait atteint plus de 11 000 personnes. 11.543, pour être. Ce chiffre provient d’une vidéo qu’un utilisateur a publiée sur Youtube pour aider ses collègues.

Selon des messages Twitter, il n’a pas fallu longtemps avant que le message ne se transforme en un véritable fiasco. Certaines personnes ont commis une erreur capitale : ils ont répondu à tout le monde pour demander d’être retiré de la chaîne.

Ce n’est pas la première fois que ce genre d’incident se produit. En 1997, le géant américain de l’informatique a déjà été confronté à un problème similaire. Microsoft avait créé une liste d’e-mails comprenant environ 25.000 employés, le groupe Bedlam DL3. De très nombreuses ont répondu à ce courriel commun

Que faire si cela vous arrive ?
Si vous êtes également ajouté par erreur dans une chaîne d’e-mails, le site de The New York Times a un simple conseil pour vous :

« Si je suis ajouté par erreur sur une chaîne d’e-mails, devrais-je cliquer sur » Répondre à tous « pour demander à être retiré ? Non ».

Si vous répondez, vous allez alimenter la chaîne qui risque de se transformer en une véritable apocalypse. À bon entendeur…

With a user base of over 28 million developers and more than 1.8 million businesses and organizations using its platform, GitHub is considered the most popular project in its category.

GitHub is one of the best places for developers to store their #projects, collaborate with other colleagues, and learn from other open source projects as well. These type of projects are written in different #programming languages, usually using different frameworks.

How GitHub became the nexus of software automation | ZDNet
▻https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-github-sneaked-up-on-us-to-become-the-nexus-of-software-automation

To call GitHub a website is to call Italy a place to eat. GitHub is the leading practitioner of an emerging marketplace — and yes, it may legitimately be called a “market” because it does generate revenue. It earned, by several estimates, over $200 million in revenue in 2017, and was evidently valuable enough to Microsoft to prompt it to purchase GitHub outright, in a $7.5 billion all-stock deal last June.

It is accurate and fair to say that GitHub created a market in the supply of open-source software, and the automation of its deployment. There are other competitors in this market, most notably GitLab and Atlassian’s Bitbucket. It’s the presence of those players that legitimizes this market.

What GitHub has become is the most effective example to date of a web service that absorbs the function of an entire industry’s supply chain. Open-source software has been shared online in the past, with SourceForge being one of the most effective practitioners. But the distribution of software through SourceForge, and sites like it, takes place using a content management system — a platform best suited for folks using web browsers.

What does deserve further scrutiny as time goes on, however, is how this deal, by legitimizing the open-source delivery pipeline as a top-tier industry, will alter the character of the open-source movement. If it was ever truly a counter-culture, it certainly isn’t one now. Although GitHub’s profitability may not be directly due to the popularity of sharing code, it is indeed tied to the automated, pipelined supply chain to which open source gave rise. If that model is truly as influential as open source proponents assert it to be, then nothing Microsoft would do to change it one way or the other, in the long run, should have any noticeable effect.

Par contre, dans sa grande amabilité, le gars de chez Microsoft a donné la raison pour laquelle ils ont mis autant d’argent sur une structure si peu rentable. Ils ont loupé le tournant de l’informatique mobile, ils reconnaissent que leur OS est trop pourri pour les serveurs au point de préférer utiliser du Linux, ils ont vu arriver les réseaux sociaux sans comprendre ce qui arrivait mais c’est bien là qu’ils ont choisi d’attaquer. Laissant à Facebook et Google tous les aspects vie privée et monétisation des données personnelles pour le marketing, ils misent désormais tout sur les profils professionnels (rachat de LinkedIn) et les compétences de développement grâce au vivier représenté par GitHub. Comme il le dit, l’important ce n’est pas le code mais les interactions entre les développeurs et le fait que la plate-forme est devenue pour eux plus parlante qu’un CV par leurs participations et commits sur différents projets. Ils sont pris au piège s’ils veulent avoir un avenir professionnel dans le milieu. Et que les libristes à la petite semaine s’en aille en fulminant, il n’en a cure, ceux-là ne travaillent de toute façon pas pour des projets bankable.

Medium Just Took Down A Post It Says Doxed ICE Employees
▻https://www.buzzfeed.com/carolineodonovan/heres-why-medium-and-github-just-took-down-a-post

https://img.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeed-static/static/2018-06/19/18/asset/buzzfeed-prod-web-01/sub-buzz-2070-1529446188-23.png

Medium, the blogging platform, and GitHub, a code repository, just suspended posts containing the LinkedIn information of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) employees. Both the post and the database, which was first removed from Medium and then from GitHub, were created by data artist Sam Lavigne.

Twitter also suspended Russel Neiss’s bot account, @iceHRGov@github.com, that was automatically tweeting information from the database.

Lavigne scraped and downloaded the names, job titles, and city-level locations of ICE employees, and posted that data to GitHub (a website that hosts code repositories and was recently acquired by Microsoft). He wrote a blog post about the project on Medium, which linked to the database on GitHub.

Lavigne’s project was in response to the increasingly explosive situation at the US–Mexico border, where news reports are emerging daily about how children who’ve crossed the border into the US are being separated from their parents and detained.

“Medium’s Rules don’t allow posts that name specific individuals for the purpose of targeted harassment or shaming,” the company wrote in an email to Lavigne, which he provided to BuzzFeed News. Specifically, Medium said the post violated its rule against “doxing,” or the “aggregation of publicly available information to target, shame, blackmail, harass, intimidate, threaten or endanger.”

GitHub said in an email that it “removed the project because it violates our community guidelines,” which include “policies against use of GitHub for doxxing and harassment, and violating a third party’s privacy.”

Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment from BuzzFeed News.

The data has since been copied to a publicly available Google spreadsheet; Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment from BuzzFeed News.

In his original blog post, Lavigne said the dataset he downloaded contains the names of 1,595 people.

“While I don’t have a precise idea of what should be done with this data set, I leave it here with the hope that researchers, journalists and activists will find it useful,” he wrote. “I find it helpful to remember that as much as internet companies use data to spy on and exploit their users, we can at times reverse the story, and leverage those very same online platforms as a means to investigate or even undermine entrenched power structures.”

On Twitter, supporters of Lavigne’s project spread the link to the data; one said the list should be used to locate ICE employees and deny them “employment, services, and friendship.”

But others felt the scraping and downloading of LinkedIn profile data was unfair to the workers.

LinkedIn, which does not provide an easily accessible API, has sued individuals who’ve scraped its data.

In a statement regarding the ICE employee data, a spokesperson said, "We do not support or condone what immigration authorities are doing at the border, but we can’t allow the illegal use of our member data. We will take appropriate action to ensure our members’ data is protected and used properly.”

Previously, a US district judge ordered LinkedIn to allow third parties to scrape publicly shared data from its website.

LinkedIn, Medium, and ICE did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Microsoft has reportedly acquired GitHub - The Verge

Microsoft has reportedly acquired GitHub, and could announce the deal as early as Monday. Bloomberg reports that the software giant has agreed to acquire GitHub, and that the company chose Microsoft partly because of CEO Satya Nadella. Business Insider first reported that Microsoft had been in talks with GitHub recently.

GitHub is a vast code repository that has become popular with developers and companies hosting their projects, documentation, and code. Apple, Amazon, Google, and many other big tech companies use GitHub. Microsoft is the top contributor to the site, and has more than 1,000 employees actively pushing code to repositories on GitHub. Microsoft even hosts its own original Windows File Manager source code on GitHub. The service was last valued at $2 billion back in 2015, but it’s not clear exactly how much Microsoft has paid to acquire GitHub.

MICROSOFT LOVES OPEN SOURCE NOW

Microsoft has been rapidly investing in open source technology since Satya Nadella took over the CEO role. Microsoft has open sourced PowerShell, Visual Studio Code, and the Microsoft Edge JavaScript engine.

To monitor your code and show its quality in your #github Readmes you can add badges, such as for Travis CI (to show build status and test reports), Coveralls (code coverage reports), and Code Climate (code quality, a measurement out of 4). As well as seeing the status of your project’s code, clicking on the badges allow users to see detailed reports on these websites.This tutorial shows you how to set up your project with these code reports. As well as this, it includes instructions for adding SimpleCov for code coverage data in your terminal and how to configure #rspec to print out more verbose test reports. This example is for #ruby projects, but can be easily adapted to other languages. My Ruby tic tac toe tech test is one project where I used this setup.PrerequisitesA Github  (...)
