Been following Gitlab pretty closely. At raintank we run a fairly large open source project on Github: Grafana. We're pretty frustrated with a lot of limitations on Github.

These limitations are becoming more painful as we grow our team, and deal with more issues across more repos.

Gitlab seems to be iterating pretty quickly. Github glacially.

For us, the killer feature that Github has is the network effect. We want to make it as easy for people to contribute code/collaborate on Grafana, and Github is where all the action (developers and code) is.

I suspect that many medium/large OSS projects have the same mindset.
Amazing!

I am wondering how much extra time it will take for 3D printing as we add support for 10 minute time interval, 1 minute interval and then seconds (extra set of digits HH:MM:SS).

Also will it be practically possible to have second-level granularity?

I appreciate the work that went into this. But as a Python guy, this really seems like a solution in search of a problem--a problem that was already identified by the language and addressed.

Negotiating compensation you're comfortable with isn't an "emotional vagary". Sounds like the programmer was working for a measly amount equity in something that will most likely be worth nothing in a couple of years.
How do you know if this isn't March 2000 all over again.

A tech bubble would look different than in 2000 because companies didn't go public the same numbers as last time. That blunts the impact a bit. But it also hides the impact. If VCs go into panic mode you won't know about it until start ups start failing in high numbers from running out of runway.

This takes such a short-sighted, illogical view of the underlying mechanics that tax expenditures and tax breaks rely on.

In the case of SNAP, you are eligible for those benefits if you are below a certain % of the federal poverty limit (FPL) based on your household size. If you earn more than a certain amount, you no longer qualify because presumably you should be able to pay for food on your own. This very directly says, "We will give you something of monetary value, if you remain poor."

In the case of a tax break, like contributing to your HSA or IRA, you don't have to pay taxes on that income (or at least not now). You can contribute up to a certain amount each year but beyond that you no longer receive that benefit. This very directly says, "We will give something of monetary value, if you save money."

Both are using government funds to encourage behavior "We will give you something of monetary value, if you [perform some behavior]." I would suggest that the intended behavior is fundamentally different and is where the real difference in these two lie.

Perhaps I'm jumping to conclusions based on the tone of the article, but the author seems to indicate that both scenarios are equally problematic, when I think there is a very logical difference. Both achieve a similar short-term net output - $X in potential taxes not remaining in the government. The difference is about whether the $X creates long-term value that exceeds that value and she seems to gloss over that to drum up a controversial article.

Edit: I'm not suggesting that either breaks of expenses are inherently better than the other. For example, an earned income credit, to me, seems to encourage a behavior that would be in line with the motives behind a tax break. I just think this is a very short-sighted analysis of both ideas and serves only to create controversy.
I work at a small academic database as a developer. We charge a pittance compared to what a lot of the larger players in this market do. And I'm conflicted.

We are a registered non profit, and are actively losing money. Developer costs, of which there are only two. Building costs--I also shovel snow!, marketing costs, hosting costs, and much more. We have the workload where we would benefit from a staff 3 times the size. Currently we are at 12. Years ago we had a fully functional publishing operation too.

But here is the thing. These open access places often are pay to publish. This is built into many grants today. Publishing costs. But not so much in the field I'm in. The social sciences. So sure, the result of that work should be open access. I just cannot help thinking this takes away from what you could be paying one more lab or research assistant.

a lot of these pay walled sites are struggling to survive as library budgets dwindle. Maybe there isn't much room left for the little players. Many are bought up or have folded over the last 20 years.

Hello,

I am currently very happy with my self-hosted GitLab instance for my personal projects. But I would love to have some of the EE features (both for my workflow and experience working with enterprise tools) and I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is. However open source is very important to me so my question is do you think it would ever be possible to purchase a personal use EE instance without license keys, calling home, and under an open source license?

4 Things Science Could Learn from the Cuttlefish
STL is maybe a bit missleading because it doesn't seem like it is a drop-in replacement for the STL.

However, this is certainly interesting because the emphasis on speed (and thus also on simplicity) is what I'm sometimes missing in the real STL or in Boost. That's exactly what you need in a game but also in much other performance critical code.

As far as I remember, Chrome has used the STL earlier. But I looked now and I see this:

It doesn't make any sense to blame the garbage collector. During startup you're loading classes, allocating structures, and verifying byte code. There aren't things that involve garbage collection (allocating with a tracing GC is generally by bump-pointer so is very efficient).

I work on a large Java project (JRuby) and for us the largest component of time spent is on loading classes. Also, startup code is likely to run in the interpreter rather than being JIT compiled, which is also slower.

The solution we're looking at is ahead of time compilation. This avoids class loading and interpretation, and it does seem to solve the problem (we're back to ms startup time).

In V8 (Node.js) the majority of the core language and library features are effectively already AOT compiled as they're implemented in C++. In the OpenJDK (and most JVMs) a lot of this is implemented in Java, so that has to be loaded and interpreted rather than executed natively.
There's not really any way to know. Because of WordPress, PHP is still by far the most popular back-end language for the web (in terms of raw number of sites running on it).

Because JavaScript is the only language that runs in all browsers, it's by far the most widely-known language. Anyone who touches the web, which is most developers, tends to have at least a passing knowledge of it.

‘Moonshot’ Metaphor on Cancer Is a Failure to Communicate
I won't even begin to discuss how horrible of a scam this stuff is. I will speak to the Rubik's cube for a moment though. First off, we know that a Rubik's cube has 43.25 Quintillion possible starting combinations. Any one of these combinations can be solved in 20 moves or less (we know this from a team of researchers who used a super computer to calculate all of the possible moves). So while you could memorize a set of musical cords for each possibility, it would be an insane number of things to memorize. Interesting scam premise though.

At any rate, learning to solve the cube is actually a very enjoyable and relaxing activity that I believe helps my brain, at the very least. There are a number of systems for solving the cube. I use CFOP. With it I can solve any cube in under 30 seconds. Much of it is intuitive with the memorization about 100 algorithms (technically there are 119 total: 41 for the f2l, 57 oll's, and 21 pll's. I use all of the oll's and pll's and only a few of the f2l's. I mostly finish the f2l by intuition). Don't get tricked into buying some neat system for the cube. Ask the experts. You can get all of the algorithms for free online for numerous systems. Grab a cube and just have fun!

Its because a lot of windows users are just plain dumb. Not all of them of course, but barring a few users, most just don't care about adware as long as their work gets done. I know too many friends and relatives whose laptops were riddled with all kinds of adware that shipped by the courtesy of download.com, CNET and similar others. When I mention it, they just laugh about it, such is the divide between power-users and noobs of the windows world.

What is needed here is providing them education and information. I try my best to bring them to Ubuntu/LinuxMint after explaining some basics, but its only a small minority that gets converted. But the ones that do switch, never look back after that!
Consider the size of the sun: it's not a point source. Even if it was, the "seeing" (astronomical term for sharpness of objects in the sky) is usually on the order of arcseconds at night, probably much more (due to convection) during the day. So even with image-forming optics, 1 sec temporal resolution is very tricky. (earth turns 15 arcseconds in one second)
The binary search of distributed programming
> In Python land packages with a C++ module normally have a pure-python fallback anyway.

Completely not true in my experience. Running pip install and finding out a dependency is native code is the worst feeling, because now I need to replicate a dev environment for building the damn thing, on windows I don't even bother, on linux I'm left hunting down the right linux packages, which if someone bothered to specify was only specified for one of the distros.

> Why? You don't back that statement up with anything. What makes it better than `pip`?

I'm not super familiar with the python ecosystem, but my biggest gripe is above (randomly, dependencies will fail to install). My second gripe with python is that so many things need virtualenv.

In this regard I've had a lot less pain with npm (but I've also done far fewer things in node), and I've never had an issue using a library in the java ecosystem, I just plug the appropriate deps into my build system, and it works, no installation required.

Beyond "can I use the packages easily", Maven also supports artifactory so that we can have org-wide libraries rather than needing to rely on git to avoid duplicating files everywhere. Beyond that Maven is also the Grunt of the Java world; it compiles your code, it invokes JUnit, it runs your fancy code rewriting modules, it does your jar/war packaging, and runs all the other modules you want.

Maven has it's own issues sometimes, but having too much XML is so far down the list of things I care about, but Gradle is nice too and the syntax is much more terse and I try to use it for my own non-work projects.

In contrast to the general "install a pile of things not in your dependency manager" approach of pip/npm, I just setup a java project to use webkit (with no prior experience trying to do this in java at all) in 5 minutes by adding 2 entries to a pom.xml file as described on https://github.com/ui4j/ui4j/

> Why should download.com be held responsible for hosting crapware when we don't hold stores pushing goods liable for selling us gold-painted trash?

There is a vast amount of difference between download.com hosting a binary and Walmart hosting a product. In the latter, there is a due process whereby any defective goods could be returned to the manufacturer. More importantly, a manufacturer's guarantee/stamp is involved.

If the binaries are signed by the original developers' public key, then I can agree somewhat to your analogy. Otherwise, its download.com who is 100% responsible.

Judging by your previous question I figure you don't ship games, do you?
"In 2015, the average household in the top 1 percent received pensions subsidies worth over $13,000 while the average benefit for a middle-class family was only $1,000."

The reason is that the top 1% made and contributed probably 10 or 20 or 30 times more than any middle-class family.

In addition to this, they all pay employees, which contribute even more tax money to the system (which is never discussed in articles like this).

This article paints the false narrative that the 1% aren't paying their 'fair share'. In fact, they pay the majority of federal taxes every year and corporate taxes are some of the highest in the world...and you want them to pay more?!

The majority of stories I see about companies paying $0 in taxes, etc are nearly all reporters purposely preying on the ignorance of the average person that has no idea how corporate taxes work.

For instance, I got back thousands of dollars last year and if you took it out of context, you might think that I paid no taxes that year. However, it's only because corporations have to pay estimated quarterly taxes, and if your sales are down and you don't make as much, you get the extra money back (that you over-estimated based on current sales).

So we could change the system, where the government takes way more, in an effort to be 'fair'. But the problem is it won't be the same. The government doesn't create anything.

The 1% will leave the country well before this happened, and the middle class will be be the next one in line.

Except that there is no adware, malware, spyware, or anything else bundled into a Linux repo. The end user may not know what is up, but Debian (and the whole community of package managers) is doing a lot more to protect the end user than CNet, Google or Apple is doing to protect the end user. It is de rigueur that if I install an app from the app store, it will try to spy on me, export my contacts, etc. This is far less likely with a Linux repo.
