sure, but I imagine they have already removed those forks too.

Have a look at this list https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2020/01/2020-01-2...

Here is the terminal output of what I did to remove the file from the git history:

Protected commits -----------------

These are your protected commits, and so their contents will NOT be altered:

WARNING: The dirty content above may be removed from other commits, but as the protected commits still use it, it will STILL exist in your repository.

If you really want this content gone, make a manual commit that removes it, and then run the BFG on a fresh copy of your repo.

This is essentially what I did using bfg tool. They still took it down.

Well they said, I had 24 hours to remove the offending item according to the "remove sensitive data" link which I abided in a matter of a few minutes. They still took down the repo - that is the problem, not sending the notice.

"We're giving you 24 hours to make the changes identified in the following notice:

https://github.zendesk.com/attachments/token/BqByLyvvRzOAmVy...

If you need to remove specific content from your repository, simply making the repository private or deleting it via a commit won't resolve the alleged infringement. Instead, you must follow these instructions to remove the content from your repository's history, even if you don't think it's sensitive:

Lack of communication and courtesy - disrespect to public good. I am happy to remove the mention per his request.

GitHub Turned into an Enterprise Under Microsoft?

I was requested to remove a training file from my Deep Learning Language detection repo (only 64 stars but still). The repo used Deep Learning to detect programming language of a file or snippet. The files and snippets were harvested from public files and snippets of github and stackoverflow. The repo was taken down even after I removed the file from the git history. More info and screenshots...

My understanding is that they hand just off the payload to another queueing mechanism. So it just returns ACK and done.
this is yet the "more detailed" post. Here is the original story https://customers.microsoft.com/en-US/story/raygun which I objected to https://twitter.com/aliostad/status/849186214045528064
Re:Azure Cosmos DB, a globally distributed database on Wednesday May 10, 2017 @01:09PM (#14309788)
We just did a benchmarking for a PoC on DocumentDB side-by-side Cassandra. It does the job, I have not yet seen anything revolutionary. Cassandra benchmarks seemed better.
Re:Azure Cosmos DB, a globally distributed database on Wednesday May 10, 2017 @01:07PM (#14309773)
DocumentDB is KV.
Thanks for taking the survey. And bear in mind after all it will be your data :)

Help this #OpenData survey to find key drivers in software

Yeah, yet another survey, but this one is short (only 10 questions) and all the results (along with raw data) will be published for everyone to use #OpenDataPlease take 3-4 minutes to fill this short survey: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/XWYWXXGIt is designed to get software community's opinion about key drivers in software.Raw data and results will be shared on github:...

Re:A Protocol for Dying on Friday April 22, 2016 @05:31AM (#11547997)
For those who had the opportunity and pleasure of meeting you personally, the day the news broke out was a black day. You are a person who makes a deep impression, your thoughtfulness and very balanced view and how you articulate them. I now read your writings and find them even more compelling: sharp observation and bravery to spell the truth out.

Death is coming to all of us. We all die. Death of some, however, will be a big loss. You, sir, are among them.

I was exactly where you were. I felt I was solving problems that look almost trivial to me. Of course there are lots of hard distributed computing problems at the scale that Facebook and Google operate but not anyone is to work on them.

I found scientific programming: i.e. using Machine Learning and related disciplines to solve hard AI problems. I can guarantee you might get frustrated by lack of success and hardship of challenges but never ever bored.

In case you are interested, this is my blog post when I got inspired by this: http://byterot.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/future-of-programming-...
