Thanks for the answer - very helpful!

Other (unrelated) minor things:

- SAML support exists, but at last check was mostly broken. Universities in particular use SAML over OAuth (See http://www.incommonfederation.org/participants/)

- Resource usage seems very high for small shops; will there be a GitLab "lite"? ...would be especially awesome if it didn't need a mostly dedicated container and could drop in as a subfolder of an existing site (with minimal resource requirements).
I'm happy as well that we stuck with Github Issues, but it only ventures into Great if you happen to count its ability to effortlessly leverage Github's social graph. The rest of its technical issues drag it down pretty far: the search feature is completely useless (which is why I give my issues way-too-verbose titles like "Type inference fails to infer the type of a closure when calling a function with an argument bounded by a trait implemented for a closure which takes a reference argument", so that people have plenty of keywords to find it later through Google), and the permissions system actively user-hostile (as we were discussing today on https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/45fsbe/is_the_rust_co... ).

Run Deploy Agents on each host through your provisioning process

If that's the requirement, a serious question might be: why not just deploy code through your provisioning process?

My personal impression is that the key issue with most systems in this area is that they whitewash, ignore or blur the reality that network topology, security, service codependencies, data security, build and deployment pipelines and so forth need to be managed at some level, may not be the same across all infrastructure, and requirements in these spaces can frequently be nontrivial with competing concerns. Thus, individual solutions typically only function for a subset of cases while ignoring the fact that others exist.

A clear description of the limitations of the approach of the tool would be useful.

Corosync/pacemaker is one mature solution in this area with a focus on HA and the capacity to navigate logical topology changes (due to faults, errors, etc.) in real time to resolve service interdependencies towards a defined 'goal state'. Extremely powerful, with a huge library of 'OCF resource agents' (service definitions) already written.[0] However, it also uses the 'agent on each machine' architecture. Where a small number of services are deployed at large scale in a parallel configuration I believe an agentless configuration methodology with PXE and IPMI power control is a more efficient node management path, though it obviously negatively impacts HA.

PS. 'Features' like rollback and 'hotfix' are arguably negligible if you have a reasonable service build process incorporating versioning.

No I don't mind, I am 35. I was about 170 lb before I got into Fitbit about 3 years ago. I gained 15 lb chasing 10k steps. It might be metabolic change. But last year I stopped using Fitbit and switched to Polar watch with HRM. I am down to 177 lb now. My RHR has always been around 55bpm, it didn't really change when I cut out gym.

The thing is that I really believed in 10K steps being enough to stay healthy. So I gave up weights & running which I did not do out of joy but as something that you do. If they invent once a month toothpaste, I will switch to it. If I don't have to run and get sweaty, then I am all for it.

10K steps was easy for me. Before Fitbit, I might get 4-5K steps without any effort. After Fitbit I started going on longer dog walks (3-4K steps). Started doing house chores in the most inefficient manners (1-2K). I would walk around office a lot (3-5K). If I was still short at the end of day, I will watch TV while stepping in a place. On weekends, I preferred hiking to swimming.

I can see how extra 5K steps a day didn't require any significant effort for me. So it would have made no difference for me. I can see from this thread that many people struggle with that so it makes sense for them to hit 10K steps goal.
The Used Bookstore Will Be the Last One Standing
Gosh, you almost had me for a second there.

But no, I'm afraid you'll have to do a bit more than merely allude to (non-)solutions, or point out how paper gains are enough motivation to keep experts who could otherwise be earning 6 figure incomes, to instead work full time on difficult solutions for free.

That you've taken absolutely no effort to spell out any of this magic success formula and instead chosen to allude to altcoins is sadly typical.

Bottom line: nobody has figured out how to sustainably support open source projects with money, period. In the best case, it's the blind leading the blind. You do what works. And whose to say what works? It's ridiculously subjective.

<You're right that Prop 13 makes rent control possible>

Completely false; the Jarvis-Gann Amendment ("Prop 13") has nothing to do with rent control.

You may intend to instead argue that both JGA and rent control provide disincentives to move (and I would not disagree), but that's a different statement.
That's quite the leap. How about you check out some broader data sets and then reassess your statement. There is less demand for homes at that price point. There is a MUCH bigger crunch for "entry-level" homes that doesn't look like it will go away any time soon.
I'm struggling to understand why this is a Good Thing. Internet access is a service like any other and collecting taxes on goods and services is in the public interest. Isn't it? Have I missed something?

The Echo Chamber
Hello! I work at http://dglogik.com: I maintain all of our development infrastructure. We have been extremely happy with GitLab! Thanks so much for the work.
See, here's the thing: I don't want free private repos to exist. What GitHub has done is incentive making things open source, and that's immeasurably valuable.
Thanks a lot for the great advice! I'm so glad I have the opportunity to learn so much from such kind people on this community.
Yes, and corporate inversions are another example (and another effect of tax law enforcement).

The answer would be a Constitutional Amendment changing Jarvis-Gann protections to residences only, or even primary owner-occupied residences only. But the corrupt Legislature refuses to consider putting an LCA on the ballot to change this.
While that sucks, that sort of self-correcting market pressure is in fact required for a healthy real estate market.

Yes, people would have been pushed out as prices increased. But as areas gentrify, there is no guarantee that the farmers and tradespeople who lived there get to stay forever. That's how other markets work.

It sucks to those pushed out, but eventually taxes increase to the point where demand for the area diminishes. Further, since you'd have increased liquidity without Prop 13, people could actually afford to move to other areas so there would be more inventory. As it stands, that isn't happening because people can't afford to move, so the market is locked up. If we didn't have Prop 13, my gut says that the broader Peninsula would not be impacted to nearly the degree it is now (although perhaps SF would because it is so much smaller).

People being forced to sell because their areas taxes increase substantially is an unfortunate, but very necessary thing.
I'll just jump in to vouch for Gitlab CE, in a self-hosted setup.

@sytse: it is one of the best documented and well packaged pieces of software these days. Specially in the Ruby world. Thank you for that. Gitlab really makes a difference.

Where others just distribute Docker images or directly nothing (because omg it is too hard to do proper packaging), Gitlab has nice packages for CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu (the distros that usually run in production servers).

We had an old install from git using mysql. Migrating to Omnibus and converting the DB to postgresql was painless. Surprisingly, it was a perfectly documented process without any pitfalls, or any outdated info. Omnibus packages are just wonderful. apt-get upgrade will just do all the necessary, DB migrations and restart all the components with almost zero downtime.

This proved to me that Gitlab actually gives uttermost care to the CE edition and that it is not just marketing.

So thank you Gitlab for being so awesome.

Reviewable founder here. Yep, Reviewable is a heavy client-side app, and I make no apologies for it. Mobile devices are getting powerful very quickly (you can already use Reviewable pretty much fine on modern phones/tablets) and the target audience of developers generally needs reasonably powerful devices anyway. I'd rather miss out on some users in the short term than lock myself into an obsolete server-centric architecture in the long term...

That said, performance is always an issue, it's just a question of where to set the target.
I agree that this has been a very positive effect. On the other hand forcing people to make code public when they might not want to might lead to problems when people are haunted by code they didn't intent to be read by others.
Chornas – A chronological and cartographical view of historical events
I'm optimistic that packaging will be greatly reduced in the near future.

Much of current packaging is for retail presentation and theft prevention. Completely unnecessary for online shopping.

In fact, I just learned about Amazon's Hassle Free Packaging option, which I imagine is motivated by reducing shipping and handling costs. That package should be arriving today. I have the impression the product's original box is used, vs putting it into another, larger box for shipping.

The American diet is transitioning away from processed foods, which uses a lot of packaging. Kids, old and young, don't need every single thing to be a pretty cereal box or single serve container.

Please don't... Github is an institution and the only thing replacing it should be something equally global but based on a new protocol of sorts enabling truly decentralized and distributed sharing and collaboration on a higher interaction level.

But meanwhile, again please let's not fragment needlessly - that's certainly not something worth the price to pay for an (admittedly great) "alternative" service be it self-hosted or otherwise...

Edit: I'm strictly talking open-source projects here - Gitlab is a fantastic solution for private repos!
Thanks for your concern. But I am not sure where you got the idea that I said I was unhealthy. I just assumed that I can skip gym and get all the health benefits of it by taking 10K steps.

But yes as a geek I love data, and I really enjoy charts and numbers. And yes if I go to gym and find out I left my heart rate strap at home, then I might feel discouraged and not workout as hard. Perhaps I will make a habit of working out without HRM once a week.

As I tell my friends, only health device you really need is yourself.

Interesting.

Beverage waste is huge. My locale recycles aggressively. Including a separate waste stream for compost (for better or worse).

Seeking to further reduce their waste stream, my local university assessed what's what. Something like 50% of the waste by weight is fluids. From sodas, lattes, etc.

Since attending that talk, I was trying to imagine a trashbin that would puncture beverage containers, letting the fluid drain out the bottom.

> Without a consumption tax, they can spend all of it without paying any taxes.

But even with VAT they almost don't, that's the thing. Because they can afford not-even-that-fancy accountants (or just one), they can simply reclaim the tax as business expense or shuffle most of it downstream to whoever is buying their services (there are bazillions of rules, of course, but they are not that hard to bend). People without accountants and company ownership cannot do that.

Say a "normal" guy buys car X, paying £1000 -- 200 of those go in tax. A "vat-savvy" guy buys the same car through his company, pays £1k, then claims VAT as a business expense. In practice, he's just bought the same car for £800. This is widespread, and obviously frowned upon by tax authorities, but it's like emptying the sea with a spoon. (Note: cars are actually more regulated than other items, exactly because of this sort of trick happening since the beginning of time on a well-known expensive item, but there are plenty of equivalent items that go undetected).

> The theory is supposed to be that the rich spend less of their income than the poor.

It's not just that, it's that in absolute terms the exact same thing is taxed in exactly the same way for rich and poor alike. That is regressive, like all flat taxes. It wouldn't be if and only if rich people only ever bought more expensive luxury items, which is not true in practice: they buy a lot of stuff in the same malls working-class people use, but they pay the exact same flat tax on each sweater.

> So which one is the regressive one?

It's a false dichotomy -- you can (and should) use multiple types of taxation at the same time. It's pretty clear that personal income taxes are not sufficient, but the answer is not removing those to introduce flat consumption taxes which are even worse in real terms; the answer is to increase taxation on capital profits, rent and property, which is where the real wealth lies.

Tax theory is old and fairly well-understood from a systemic perspective, but obviously nobody wants to piss off their political donors, whereas little people are easily gamed.
