Vague infringement allegations considered harmful
Ensuring that software copyright allegations are specific and actionable benefits the entire developer ecosystem. That’s why GitHub submitted a “friend of the court” brief in the SAS Institute, Inc. v. World Programming Ltd. case before a Federal Court of Appeals. ⌘ Read more
Docker is Updating and Extending Our Product Subscriptions
Docker is used by millions of developers to build, share, and run any app, anywhere, and 55% of professional developers use Docker every day at work. In these work environments, the increase in outside attacks on software supply chains is accelerating developer demand for Docker’s trusted content, including Docker Official Images and Docker Verified Publisher […]

Snikket: Improving Snikket’s usability in collaboration with Simply Secure
One of the primary goals of the Snikket project is improving the usability of
open communication software. We see usability as one of the major barriers to
broader adoption of modern communication systems based on open standards and
free, libre, open-source software. By removing this barrier, we open the door
of secure and decentralized communication freedom to many vulnerable groups
for which it was previously inaccessible or i … ⌘ Read more
A screenshot of a very tiny c program written on System7
I’ve got to use macOS by nature of my work. Lately I’m increasingly down on this. Here I will not re-hash anything about the current state of Apple’s hardware and software ecosystem. I don’t care.
Wanting to take a trip down nostolgia lane, however (to when I was 2 years old) I thought I’d install Mac OS System 7. What follows is a quick guide for doing the sa … ⌘ Read more
Building a healthy and secure software supply chain
Securing the software supply chain is now an everyday concern for developers. As attackers increasingly target open-source components as a way to compromise the software supply chain, developers hold the keys to making their projects as secure as they can be. That’s why Docker continues to invest heavily in our developer tools like Docker Desktop […]

Why is it so common for help sites of software projects to have no links back to the main site? I always have to change the URL manually.
don’t get me wrong, I love the power of emacs. but it’s a very complex piece of software, which is inherrently brittle. not a problem in the short term, but for some of my more long term tools it’s a consideration.

CS programs encourage the idea (already common among students) that software engineers are professionals. First contact with the industry demonstrates that to the extent that folks have grown since graduation, its in their ability to delay the inevitable collapse of ugly hacks.
