(In other words: don't take my word for it.) They have some specific rules about what code can be posted and how.

If a copyright holder wants to exercise their copyright and have the code removed from the site, they can file a "DMCA Takedown Notice"

Q: CipherCloud DMCA notice

CodesInChaosCipherCloud just filed a DMCA notice with stack exchange to take down the question How is CipherCloud doing homomorphic encryption? (now deleted by stackexchange). Since I obviously can't post the full question+answers here, a short summary of what it contained: The question itself asks if/how...

^^ this is the only time that I know of that a DMCA notice was filed against SE
there's only two overall copyright violations filed against SE in the lumen database FKA chilling effects clearinghouse
interesting... a maths prof had some homework questions removed from SE ...
 
Thanks @Vogel612 :)
 
interesting.... codility filed two DMCA notices
both against posts on SO
 
6:59 PM
@Vogel612 got more info on that?
We're planned to start using Codility at work
 
@SimonForsberg see lumendatabase
 
@Vogel612 Oh wait, I think I'm confusing it with something else.
There's some kind of static analysis program called something similar
 
codility is a challenge site that explicitly claims copyright to their challenges
 
yeah, realized that
 
Well by sorting with newest you can have some surprise that are NSFW.... (on the lumendatabase link)
 
7:08 PM
huh?
 
On your link, you have a sort by option
I choose Newest
And the date is in the future and there's lot of not safe for work words in the takedown notice
 
Lol

possible answer invalidation by Belle on question by Belle: codereview.stackexchange.com/posts/180901/revisions
 
I changed my question some. Is it on topic now? :) codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/180901/…
 
@Belle Welcome :)
 
Thank you :)
 
class BaseException extends Exception
{
    public function __construct($message, $code, Exception $previous = null) {
        parent::__construct($message, $code, $previous);
    }

    // various functionalities that all my exceptions have
}
That comment implied that there is more code that you're showing us

I'm in the middle of an enourmous refactor to my code and what it's currently saying doesn't make much sense, that's why I didn't include it.
 
From the link in the on-hold reason :
> If your question contains stub code, then there are significant pieces of the core functionality missing, and we need you to fill in the details. Excerpts of large projects are fine, but if you have omitted too much, then reviewers are left imagining how your program works.
 
It says something along the lines of:


private function _response($data, $status = 200)
{
header("HTTP/1.1 " . $status . " " . $this->_requestStatus($status));
return json_encode($data);
}
Formatting failed me. Can I edit here?
 
how about here...

1. All code must be posted here directly. 2. This isn't an appropriate question for here. This may be ontopic on Code Review if anyehere, but I have my doubts. — Carcigenicate 24 secs ago
This question belongs to CodeReview. — Daniel 15 secs ago
Stack Exchange questions have to be self-contained. Links to external sites may be used to enhance a question, but a question must be understandable from its text without referring to the links. However, SO is neither a code review site, nor is it the best site for security advice, there are other Stack Exchange sites which focus on those areas. — PM 2Ring 20 secs ago
 
@Belle I think you could include the code and specify that this piece of code is being refactored. It would give a better perspective on what, why and how you're doing things at the moment
 
I would argue that this is more of a code review question and not a issue for stack overflow. — Mike Tung 40 secs ago

@Belle You're talking about Duga? She's checking comments from SO to see incoming questions which could be close here but are sent our way.
 
Yay another downvote... Nvm... I shouldnt have come here.
 
@Belle You;re working hard on your question and it's all that matter. A downvote is not worth a lot, so don't worry too much. I think we're close to have an on-topic question :)
 
Sorry about that, I had a very nasty experience on SO and Workplace SE once. I hoped it would be different in this community. Seems like I had a bit of bad initial contact, but you guys/girls seem nice.
 
@Marc-Andre to clarify, did you mean "that's all that matters" instead of it's all that matter
 
8:11 PM
@SamOnela Yeah probably, English is my second language so might be a rough translation of what I would have said in French
 
@Marc-Andre d'accord (I don't really speak french, but know a few phrases, partly because my wife studied it)

@Belle Yeah I can understand that :)
 
@Belle FWIW you already gained 16 rep from that question overall ...
 
The last thing I can think about your question is that Update part does not fit in the question anymore, might be a better way to phrase that, but I think your question is mostly on-topic now.
@SamOnela Ahaha that's a nice touch either way :) !
 
8:14 PM
I could probably just remove the update, since it had to do with the previous version of my question (silly phpstorm bugging out)
 
Yeah might be better that way
Your question is now in the queue to get re-open :) thank you for your effort @Belle
 
My programming instructor advised me to use Exceptions instead of my many many if's. I can program, but writing good code is an entirely different thing. Thanks everyone!

Would it be on-topic to ask a question about how to avoid a warning about a property relying on magic methods in php possibly not existing when the property only gets filled when the magic method has been called?
 
This example does not work when you have to go through code review via pull request — Nickpick 37 secs ago
 
For those not familiar with php (the way I understand it at least): language gives warning about a variable possibly not existing that I've made sure would exist at runtime when the code gets there.

Would that be on topic?
 
@Belle If you have written code that works as expected, then feel free to ask about it, for the purposes of feedback, suggestions of improvement, etc.
 
@SamOnela Alright, I'll give it a go! Thanks :)

hello again :)
the Code Review Community on GitHub (for which I'm still one of the admins) has seen two membership requests this month, a bit unusual. github.com/CodeReviewCommunity/CodeReviewCommunity.github.io/…
My instinct is to close them since that GH community doesn't currently serve any real purpose.
Before I close issue #11 without adding membership, I'd first like any confirmation by other experienced users that this is the right decision. I'm not currently active on Code Review and may be missing some important context.
 
current consensus basically says to kill the github community
welcome back, btw :)
interestingly the requestor posted a competing answer, soo ... I'd hold off for now...
 
yesss killing is good (with respect to useless cruft like unused GH orgs or duplicated code. people are fine)
if it's being discussed by the community I can sit back and do nothing, that's fine by me :)
