Why do you feel you would need to review the entire codebase to deploy Gitlab? It is an apt-get installation now that they ported to Omnibus. The days of debugging gem errors on compile and migrating by hand are over.
OMFG it looks like that guy is working on a plant.
Isn't this the same concept as Microsoft's Continuum?

As it's been noted, there are a handful of other projects like this, so I don't mean to say it isn't special. But a big criticism for Continuum is that it's practically not very useful...when are you ever going to have your phone, monitor, and keyboard available but not a laptop?

What's a practical use for these things?

In other words, the new video shows that Uber executives lack the self-awareness to understand that they just made their company look like Walmart, Exxon-Mobile or Altria.

Why would they not want to do that? Those companies are huge and successful.

And at least Exxon and Wal-Mart have instantly recognizable, sensible-looking corporate logos.

I don't use Github. I do use Bitbucket. Now my stuff is mostly single dev, for fun projects. I've never particularly liked the Github forced social presence. And I prefer mercurial over git for my vcs.
My iTunes library has made several round-trips across platforms and I've never encountered anything like that. My music, apps, books, and podcast files all have consistent, readable naming schemes.

Why are they scary? The fact that the wordpress code base can be exploited in ways the developers didn't think is not scary, it is stupid. If there was ever a code base that needs rewritten I give you wordpress.

One possible answer is that near-perfection (the perception of "Job's" products), including recognition (widespread adoption), is attainable at any given moment in time, but typically unsustainable long-term...given human and technological constraints...

It could be entropy, as some have suggested, or simply the difficulty of maintaining a level of quality one has become associated with producing...

Maintaining the (high) level of quality one has reached is difficult enough...

Incremental gains on a level attained become much more difficult...opportunities become infinitesimally smaller...
On the Ubuntu side it really comes down to what you want from your operating system. If your desktop is primarily for development, and you want to be in control of your environment then it's viable. I say that as someone whose been using Linux since 2000 though ;-)

I consume all the walled garden media stuff through Android and iOS - they're devices like my fridge. My desktop is the centre of my creative world, I don't want someone telling me how to do it there. And yes, I'm willing to trade-off my own time to obtain that control.
back at the times Sun made a separate Sun Federal to firewall those activities from the rest of the company. I think GitHub can do the similar trick, ie. create GitHub Enterprise.

That seems like a pretty fickle data source to build a product around.

I have multiple credit cards. I only use one of them for online purchases. It happens to be my oldest card, the one I got when I was 18 years old. Therefore it qualifies as an "introductory" card available with little/no credit history. Would you assume anyone paying with their oldest card has a low credit score?

There are so many factors that go into a credit score that it seems asinine to base an estimate of it on the specific card used for a particular purchase.

Sure you can get the "tier" of a card and know that the issuer only grants that card to someone meeting a minimum credit score. But you know nothing else. Some people have a 750 credit score but have never applied for a second card. You don't know how the age of the credit line, its utilization, its size, its payment history...

This "reverse credit score" estimate seems like complete snake oil. If credit checks are actually an important part of your business, factor them into your costs and just pay the $50.
Or how something deflationary that can't handle refunds is supposed to innovate payments.

> Why do you feel you would need to review the entire codebase to deploy Gitlab?

I already answered this. Quoting my post above:

> so I can deploy it with confidence

Emphasis is important.

Background: I do application security consulting. Do you expect me to trust the code that other developers write without verifying that it's not a pile of lacey Swiss first?

Also, if I do find any bugs, I'll report them upstream (since they are open source) so my paranoia is probably going to be beneficial to other GitLab customers some day.

This is an extreme interpretation of what I said. I had a good time, they were my friends, but absolutely everyone was male and introverted. I could elaborate, but do I need to or do you see how that could get stale?
Samsung built an ICE RINK right next to the courthouse. They did that because they thought pouring money into town would help sway the jury pool in their favor.
FYI this isn't anything new. The networks (at least Visa and MC) have been routing payments to other networks for years, so that their customers don't need a separate integration with each network (or to use a middleman processor who has integrated with each network).
I think the bigger problem with this is the Skype message deliverability problem. Everyone uses battery-powered devices (laptops and cell phones) now, so it's possible that days or weeks could go by before the app could wake up and rekey the data.
I use "hoodie culture" to mean generally introverted male programmers. That there are obviously exceptions is a little missing the point I think.
From wikipedia, emphasis my own: "Six degrees of separation is the theory that everyone and everything is six or fewer steps away, by way of introduction, from any other person in the world".

This does not mean that any two randomly selected people will, on average, be separated by six degrees. It is the (theorized) maximum of the separation between all possible combinations of two people on Earth.

Facebook calculated a different metric: the average separation. And at this, they only calculate it among Facebook's own users - not all living people. Yet they present their findings as if they are directly applicable to the initial problem statement, which they aren't.
It's shit like this that brings down the reputation of the entire industry.

You can establish a floor of a cardholders historical credit score.

With the introductory card you can't eliminate a high score, and with a premium card you can't eliminate a low score, but you can assume that at some point in time they had a high score with a premium card.

> What is superior about poorly-paid drivers,

There's a labour market for that.

> lack of labour rights,

That's for the government to deal with.

> surge pricing,

Surge pricing is awesome: at least you can still get a cab if you are willing to pay. As opposed to no cab at any price.

> lack of disabled accommodations,

Yeah, that's annoying for those in need. I propose giving disabled people more money, so they can then vote with their newly enlarged wallets. (And perhaps there's something more efficient for them than enticing taxi drivers.)

> no guarantee of service in all areas,

Why should city dwellers subsidise those yokels?

> lack of fare caps,

As long as the fare structure is known before I get into the cab, no problem.

> no concessionary travel,

Just give poor people more money. No need for concessions. (I've never seen any regulated taxi with concession fares. Only in public transport.)

> having to use a smartphone to pay,

> unaccredited and unknowledgeable drivers,

Not less knowledgeable than most `normal' cabbies, as far as I can tell. But, depends on the area. Eg London has some pretty knowledgeable cabbies.

> generic unmarked vehicles, etc.?

Who cares? You can pay more for an UberBlack, if you want to have a non-generic car.

Four more invites here. hugo@barrera.io. CHeers.
Speaking for myself, not OP, and as someone who's criticised G+ strongly on numerous grounds:

Google+ started, at least, with a rather strong professional cachet. Its inaugural user cohort trended very strongly to Googlers, Xooglers, their immediate contacts, techies, and a number of folk with aligned interests.

And, unfortunately, SEO and marketing types. A very nearly fatal disease in a content-sharing community.

Google had a number of tremendous mis-steps. Privacy and confidentiality were very large among them, and I've little confidence that Vic Gundotra's G+ of 2012 could have executed on a professional-networking G+ successfully.

I think that with many of the very, very hard lessons Google's experienced, and I very sincerely hope has learned from, it could today.

Google could offer a G+ professional network which, at the very least, would benefit Google itself as a recruiting device. Possibly paired with other activities (women in STEM outreach, summer of code), and platforms (something Github-esque).

Google offering a general interest recruiting platform is probably a non-starter, in that it's a direct conflict of interest (Google would want the best candidates for itself), and in light of the illegal anti-poaching collusion case (still ongoing IIUC). Pity.

Google also don't need to directly monetise G+, an could avoid many of LinkedIn's more obnoxious practices.

Any study looking for long term health effects of specific behavior, no matter how good the methodology, is going to wind up looking stupid in the end. There are simply too many variables to account for.

With so many variables to consider, of course the scientists will be able to wrangle some explanation from the data that fits their hypothesis.

This kind of study makes a mockery of the scientific method by following it in name only.

I'm sure you could come to the same conclusion for dozens of factors other than cell phone radiation. How about hormones in the food supply? Work, sleeping habits? Changing life timelines? Social media?

You could attribute literally any new phenomenon from the past century to a correlated observation.

This seems like such poor science it makes me angry my tax dollars are paying for this so-called "research." What a waste of time.

We welcome all the paranoia we can get. Please be informed that multiple organizations have done security audits for GitLab and we have paid external parties to perform them for us. That doesn't mean there are no bugs anymore.
PaiMei was a pretty good toolkit, but it doesn't even work with anything after 2.4, at least not out of the box.

> GitHub raised $250 million last year and, as you mentioned, there's nothing externally visible to show for it

I completely agree, I've never been able to take github seriously as a GUI -- (e.g. there is still no way to search commits).

> All this gets back to a bigger trend we see these days: closed platforms are like governments (google, apple, github, twitter).

I don't think it's the same to include Github into these, the main facility provided by github is simply a centralized host for your git repo, Git is FOSS and there are a number of alternatives.
The world needs less discrimination based on credit score, not more. Count yourself lucky that you didn't grow up having to deal with the bullshit related to that idiotic number.

There is a survivor's bias here that concerns me. Currently the world values the tech sector because we're perceived as potentially making people a lot of money. Once it catches on that we spend most of our days cutting through the red tape of entrenched spaghetti code and making pixels blink, this could all change.

It may swing back to valuing farming/construction/industry or shift to even higher speculation (space exploration etc) and we could find ourselves ostracized. I would prefer that we had more open immigration policies and worked towards solving the root cause of mass migration, which is hundreds of years of colonialism and capitalist imperialism that led to global warfare and suffering. The people have a better shot at accomplishing this than either the market or authoritarian governments.
I don’t know what you’re talking about. “Once/twice/thrice removed” means “removed by one/two/three generations”, where “removed” has the sense of “separated”. “From what?” is the wrong question.

This is a fallacy. You're putting words in my mouth, because I did not make that argument.

I do not use any software WITH CONFIDENCE that I haven't reviewed the entire codebase of.

I still use software I don't feel confident about using every day.

Use it, just not with confidence. I'm ready to wipe this computer's hard drive at the drop of a hat if it lets me down.
>somehow cloud customers have decided that by being in the cloud everything is redundant and durable and has several other magical properties

To be fair the point of the cloud is that they deal with redundancy, HA, distributing to multiple datacenters, etc. through their services - but you need to use and understand implications of said services to leverage that.

You might want to reconsider what you said because it makes no sense. Bernie most certainly isn't against "trade". Maybe FTAs that sign away our rights and jobs, sure, but not all such treaties are bad.

You have to remember he's coming from the perspective of holding customers hostage. In his world, his customers CAN'T leave Oracle, which means Oracle can dictate when and where their software is hosted. If Amazon starts getting traction with Oracle in AWS, Oracle will simply double the licensing costs of AWS vs. their own cloud. It's worked for them countless times before, it'll work again. Because unfortunately, there are way too many really REALLY big companies that are so tied to Oracle they aren't willing to switch, regardless of cost.
Better security should be a good selling point for anyone who wants to use containers at all, especially when money changes hands or privacy is a concern.
So... I know not a lot of people know about this but... Microsoft is already doing this really, really well. And their execution of it, while early, is at least competitive with most Ubuntu mobile efforts I've seen.

From the front page it says python and gcc is included, but I don't see anything about the gcc (or python, but python isn't gpl) source on their legal page:

http://maruos.com/#/legal

Did anyone have a look? Do they distribute the kernel, or run on top of Android? At a glance it appears they're playing a bit loose with the licenses - but maybe they have a link/offer of source in the download?

I'm not quite sure what you're doing. If you have that level of hardware I don't know why you're running out of memory. Our tests with 100B points split across 1M series ran on much more modest hardware than that and didn't have a problem.

There's something different with what you're doing than with what we're testing. If you can give more detail about what your actual data looks like, I may be able to help.

Are you doing this on v0.10 (beta1 or greater) and you're seeing this problem?

Not to speak badly about any of my peers in particular, but I've come in after other security auditing teams and found really obvious bugs that they've overlooked.

Though I usually give them the benefit of the doubt and omit my feelings when I write my report. Maybe it was a time constraint or a scoping issue that prevented them from seeing it? I have no way of knowing.

So, kudos for not having a single point of failure.

The brand is what makes the brand valuable. Customers like their service, and go to the Uber app first when they want to buy a ride. On the supply side, Uber has relationships with many drivers. Both of these would cost a lot of money to attempt to replicate. The code is a small piece of it.
I've never enjoyed using LinkedIn. Especially running into its constant "add more people from your address book" prompts when attempting to use the site. The UI is extremely cluttered. The blog/status posts I find mostly useless. I am constantly prompted to "update/complete my profile".

> How will someone from Canada send mail to a US address?

Can't the USPS translates it when it hits their jurisdiction? The Canadian post isn't delivering mail in the US. The USPS is.

> We had a scale, and a price list.

If you're selling on Amazon, replace your price list with typing the address into Amazon and receiving a response. If you're selling on your own, you can collect traditional addresses and use those.

> While in Hawaii, we still want to use Amazon. But our son, who lives next door, will handle any bills or other things. So we want to change the address for Amazon ONLY.
> How do we do that? I can't just update the USPS address because everything will be routed to Hawaii, which I don't want.
> Nor can I tell USPS that when Amazon sends to special code XYZ then to instead ship to an address in Hilo.

Sounds like in that case the proposed system is as bad as what we currently have--you still have to update things on a mailer-by-mailer basis. That's annoying, but it's exactly the same as what we have right now. In some cases this is not an improvement, and in other cases it's better so...

> You don't have to be "clear", only accept that it's true.

No, I have to accept that it should be true. If it's an anachronism of days past, losing it is good. Even if it's not, it's not a given that the tradeoff isn't very much worth it.

> How do I change an alias? Do I go online? What if it's been 10 years and I've forgotten the account details? Do I go to the post office to get access again? Can my spouse change the information?

We currently have mail forwarding. Copy that and streamline it.

> What level of privacy will there be on the alias? Can companies share or sell the information? Can the alias-to-physical address be subpoenad? Is the subpoena filed in state or federal court? Does the other side get to file an objection before that information is released?

Yup. It will take time to nail down all the details of how this would work. I'm certainly not arguing against that, so I'm not sure what this whole thread is about at this point.
