I have three personal reasons for preferring Github to Gitlab. I'm not going to talk about the community edition of Gitlab, since Github Enterprise is a separate topic and frankly I think most individual developers couldn't be bothered to download, run, and maintain their own Gitlab instance (as evidenced by the fact that Github.com is so damn popular).

1. Gitlab themselves admit that Gitlab.com is bad[1]. Making a cloud-based software development platform is hard, and Github has some of the best engineers working on scaling the service. Gitlab doesn't have nearly as many resources.

2. The community is thin[2]. Almost all of the largest projects on Gitlab.com are Gitlab. Gitlab CE is maintained by only a handful of people. Go through the list of top contributors on Gitlab.com and you'll find that they have almost zero "personal projects" hosted there. If the developers of the service don't even use it, why should I?

3. The UX of Gitlab is honestly quite poor. At best, it's a clone of Github's UI. At worst, it has way too much scrolling thanks to inconveniently placed whitespace, poor performance, a confusing information architecture, and oodles of low-contrast text. I personally find getting around Gitlab to be tiring and confusing. Here's an easy example: from the Contributors tab of a project [3], how can I see more about a contributor? You just can't. There's lots of little papercuts like this scattered across Gitlab. Not to say Github is without papercuts, but it certainly has far fewer.

Hm, there's a meta-question of whether the purpose of HN is stories or comments. I think the story itself is worth the hacker community reading, regardless of the quality of the comments.

A specific flag for "the comments will turn into a flamewar, but we shouldn't let the threat of a flamewar silence the story itself" might be useful. And in this case, 'dang manually did take action to curb low-quality comments. Having a user-initiated flag that restricts posting by users postdating the story, increases the waiting period on replies, etc. (and alerts moderators) might be more useful than simply removing the story from the front page (but allowing people to come in via external links).

Turns out I was compiling to 64bit which changes the ASM.

I compiled to 32bit and then ran IDA-free version using WINE on OSX (Hopper's output was too different).

Output is now identical.
Cloistered by the filter bubbles. Though Twain's essay suggests it's not a new phenomenon. People tend to group together with those who believe similar things, each confirming preconceptions of the others. From inside of such a group it always looks like everyone else are sheeple that need to wake up.
Arguably, many of the "slide" images aren't directly relevant to the content, they're just there because you're expected to have images in a tech conference talk.
Makes sense. I look forward to that. Curious, could you post what a 28nm run cost you for what percentage? Might be enlightening to people wondering about the real-world cost of such things outside of confusing $/mm2, etc on many sites.
Symfony Benchmarks: PHP-FPM vs. PHP-PM (on PHP 7 and HHVM)
One frustrating part of attempting to transition is that not all libraries make it clear which Python versions are supported. Usually it's Python 2-only code that isn't clearly labeled as such, but it happens with Python 3 code as well. Sometimes a library doesn't work under specific versions of Python 3. The result is that library research takes longer than it would.

Please include this in the README for any project, even if it seems obvious.

This seems pretty ridiculous. Why do you need a completely separate API?

The rendering is just business logic. Run a normal web app and it pulls the content from a database and does whatever transforms you need and still serves up HTML.

Yes but the few social media sites get to control how a link to anywhere else appears. For example, try updating your Facebook status with a video. If you upload the raw mp4 directly, the video will autoplay in your friends' news feeds, generating more engagement & likes. If you instead post a YouTube link, your friends will see one screenshot in an ugly embedded player.

Facebook, intentionally or not, gets to control part of YouTube's fate and relevance. It has every right to, but that's a bit scary when it's the only way to share a video with my friends.

An observation ... Soundcloud's "samples-over-time thumbnail" actually serves a useful purpose in these side-by-side comparisons: You can see before listening that there is a difference or something "missing" in one versus the other.

I appreciate the feedback. This...

"I think the real key to creating a simple and low cost reliable system is to have this in mind when you design your application. I could have used a database just as easily as a flat file approach, but this would have made things much more complicated to replicate between the nodes."

...is a great point. It echos the comments and thinking of Bernstein in his paper on lessons learned from Qmail.

Particularly, section 4.5 "Reusing the filesystem."
He seems like a gifted writer, so I am sure, over time, he will make these platforms work for him, perhaps in greater ways then he could have ever imagined just using blogs.

People I know use the "big-3" because it allows them to easily connect to their real-world friends and share tidbits with them, not because they are looking for a publishing platform to reach the entire world.
It's been quite a discussion on Reddit on the article. Feel free to ask questions here as well and I'll answer as best as I can.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/3z0fmv/how_i_learne...
Our company blog is like this, I left a comment on the related LinkedIn post (that links to our own website using some URL-shortening service!) saying "this doesn't really make any sense without citations and providing links to the services discussed" and received a request to remove my comment shortly after.

The marketing team believe linking to sites other than our own drive people away. Instead they internally link to product/service pages that are often barely relevant and rarely (if ever) what anyone reading the post wants to see.

It makes me want to throw the whole thing away and start over.

> it would be nice if an online course site allowed searching within all the subtitles of all the videos it hosts,

Yes it would. But a lot of the videos I see are not subtitled. They should be though, for accessibility purposes.
That's a good point. Spammers know everything about ROI, if a platform isn't worth it spam won't be found there.

The problem with that line of reasoning in relationship with the WWW is that the WWW is the platform and it is vast, federated or republic doesn't matter to the spammers, as long as there are forms and buttons to click spambots will come because the similarities between federated sites are still large enough to take advantage of them.
I think they know what is "wrong" in the sense that they ought to be punished for it, and they see themselves not being punished for it (except for "free vacations"), hence they see their personal (not incredibly developed) morals above that of the morality enforcement mechanisms society puts on them. They probably override what we see as decency by simple reasonings ("those people have no idea what it's like on the street"), and they're addicts trippin' on that power and moral superiority.
Out of curiosity, what do you mean by that? I'm not sure I'm following your metaphor. If anything, the opposite would seem to be more likely.
Sounds like a great initiative.
Google does the exact same thing with queries. Plenty of queries will be answered with data harvested from the pages that those queries originally led to. Now google shows a box on the side with the facts collected from the underlying pages. No more need to go visit any of those.

Then there's google images, which shows the images on the google site itself (a vast copyright infringement, unlike the search engine result pages these are copies of the images at quite high resolution).

Every web company, as soon as they get large enough will stop playing nice and will start trying to lock their users into their own ecosystem.
If, like me, you didn't know what corn-pone is, it's a type of corn bread.
Where did he say that locks make it easier?

> but a properly-locked-down system will not let you modify the code even if you can look at every single piece of code and data on the system

I think in the quote you used Doctorow is simplifying things for a general audience. Please give an example of a "properly-locked-down system" that can be protected from someone with physical possession of it. It's not the iPhone, as he said iPhones can be "jailbroken," (I don't know if I would call it "easy" as he does).
> Someone has to keep the developers busy for the 40 hours a week they must be in their chairs to get paid.

I thought Hacker News and Reddit handled that. :
> the "anger" stage will just make us (me at least) leave Python behind

By switching to Perl 4?

If you're hobbled by dumb policies that prevent an upgrade to 2.7 how are you going to transition to something "better".
Is there any public dataset related to fashion objects?
> writer with experience

Ok, what experience? That's what I'm asking. A deep interest is not experience.

> What kind of credentials he needs to have for his opinion on those issues to be "valid"?

Usually actual experience in the matter. The EFF does good work because it is an organization of lawyers, not Science Fiction writers.
would seriously consider it if there were a "100% fewer ads" option.
This seems like a good idea. Well, there are numerous people using ad blocking software. The percentage of blocking ads is really high. So, why not have another plan for people that uses blocking software.

Some people use blocking software that I know like blocking software so they can block all the other terrible ads that come from other ad providers. Those other ads are really intrusive. So, if some of the funds are going to the contributors of a site. Why not have another plan meant for blocking higher amount of ads.
I'm in Stralsund and it straight-up won't play the video in Chrome. Just keeps spinning. Downloading from youtube works as well, even though you have to resort to youtube-dl, and i like having youtube track what i've seen so i can refer to that later in case i forget having seen something. Plus, the CCC org is not any more trustable than youtube.

Why size_t exists in C/C++ and could/should it be replaced?

There are some things you simply can't do on GitHub:

* block trolls from interacting with an organization, short of filing a support ticket

* install pre-receive hooks without using the pull request infrastructure

* set up status checks (the PR equivalent of pre-receive hooks) for pull requests that require force pushes, allowing some external check to replace git's usual fast-forward check

* have status checks apply to individual commits, not trees, so that you have style or copyright or whatever checks on each commit

* disable pull requests

* enforce rules for creation of new branches or tags

I admit that none of these features are dealbreakers, but they all have legitimate use cases, and they'd all be trivial if you were using a regular UNIX-based git server.

On the other hand, the usable interface of GitHub wouldn't be available to you if you were using a regular UNIX-based git server, and that is a dealbreaker. :)

First, please discontinue implications that I'm seeking to remedy outcomes I don't like by censoring or somehow attempting to seek advantages over those who are responsible for those outcomes.

That's not the argument I've made, nor will I make it.

The argument is one of trust.

Massive amounts of dollars in the process simply isn't trustworthy. There is no way it can be trustworthy.

Secondly, if we are to keep the dollars involved, and we need to trust the process, and I submit we do need to trust the process, then disclosure is the minimum needed for that trust to be meaningful.

Your comparison of anon dollars to comments made by people online is quite frankly, laughable. I won't address it further.

"Winning in the realm of ideas" and "If your ideas can't win on their merits alone, then maybe they don't deserve to."

Some how you have attempted to make this about me. Please reconsider that as well. It's not good form.

Censorship and intimidation?

LOL

Really, these are the framing used by people who want to speak loudly and frequently, while not being spoken to themselves.

Linking that to a "merit" and "market of ideas" argument is also, frankly, laughable! A debate goes both ways, and it's a contact sport for a reason.

If I were to say, like Trump has, "All the fat girls just gotta go." that's deplorable! Right? Or, it's laughable too, depending on how it's all taken and presented.

But it's not an idea with any real merit.

If I can say that, loud, over a sustained amount of time, with complete impunity, what else can I say and get away with? Anything?

What that is is a shouting match, not politics. And it's not healthy, nor meaningful discourse.

On the other hand, if "ddingus" says we need to get rid of all the fat girls now, and that's linked to me, and I spend a lot of money on it?

Now, I'm the asshole, bat shit crazy nut. People can see that for what it is, ignore it, and they can take my reputation and rub my face in how shitty my advocacy really is.

Good, that's how it should work, and that's one of the primary reasons the First Amendment does not have a shield in it too.

Prevents really bad ideas from even taking root, as it should.

Linking anon comments to the need to "balance" that with large amounts of money because someone got butt hurt over some stuff they found on Reddit makes no sense at all.

And I'll leave it there.
Pet peeve: pdf links on google. When you want to mail someone a link to a pdf you search for the pdf, then copy-and-paste the link from the results page and boom a whole screen full of garbage and a link that is next to unusable instead of the actual link to the document.

Super annoying.
Great article that sums up the reasons why I am not using any of these social networks anymore. I am going to point this to anyone who asks me why I don't have a Facebook account, thanks.
