That would definitely piss me of too. Enough so that I wouldn't do it and just throw it in the wrong bin, or just dump it somewhere. If I were to clean it that much, I would expect to be payed the full value of the materials, plus cost of labor and water.
It wasn't really the only player; BerliOS and GNU Savannah appeared right around that time, and Launchpad isn't much younger. That said, they weren't really any better, in my opinion. At least SF had a bunch of mirrors, which was helpful back then.

I agree that there's a lot of worth in having a turn-key solution that's fast, especially if installing dependencies is required anyway (e.g. Ruby isn't necessarily on the user's system, neither is Java, so since you have to install a dependency anyway...).

While it's not like the JVM will never be a source of annoyance for Gitlab admins, speed/user-perceived latency is more than just a feature when porting from an offering that's as polished and good as GitHub. This is especially true for people that would have to rationalize cutting over from GitHub to Gitlab in an enterprise environment.
They should have done that then made it retroactive. Then the heirs of Shakespeare, Mozart, and Grimm bros. can sue them into the dirt for copyright infringement.

Just because you can throw a stone into a storefront and steal stuff, does not mean you are free to do that.

Or are you arguing that just because it's the evil CIA, it's fine to hack them and leak tons of personal info (which potentially puts lifes in danger)
When this sort of defense is given of rapists it's rightfully called victim blaming.

I don't see why the CIA's apparently lax security means a crime isn't a crime. Just because the security guards should be fired for falling asleep and leaving the door unlocked doesn't mean that the burglar isn't guilty.

Sure, I don't think a kid trying to show off should face the same punishment as an adult doing something purely malicious, but "it was actually a surprisingly easy crime to carry out" should never be a reason not to prosecute.
> Most incomers are young people, but not all are graduates — many come from Eastern and Southern Europe and work low-skill jobs. I put "British", but probably meant someone one would expect to live in London for a long time. I got to know a few construction workers from Poland and Romania, and none of them had any intention to stay — they were in London to make money, and several had wives/children 'at home'.

There's always been people coming to London for a few years to make money. Ten years ago maybe it was the Australians coming over here to work in bars and restaurants. I think construction workers would always have been moving around (certainly my dad did); there are probably more of them now than ten years ago but more construction is hardly a bad thing. I certainly don't think there are fewer skilled jobs for graduates than there were: the City has been adding more and more jobs and sprawling down to London Bridge, tech has boomed in Shoreditch, Bloomsbury and elsewhere, there's that huge new medical campus effort around King's Cross. The BBC has sadly been driven away for political reasons, but I don't think there's ever been a better time to be a graduate moving to London.

Where is cheap has changed. Music, indie theatre and groundbreaking art have been pushed further out, to Camden and Highbury and Shoreditch and Hackney and Brixton and Clapham. Soho is halfway to being Knightsbridge. But that's always been the way of these things.

> "of the 430 music venues that traded in London between 2007 and 2015, only 245 are still open"

I have no idea what the real numbers are, but I can tell that's a line designed to mislead, to make you think there has been a decline in the number of music venues without actually giving any evidence for it. How long did those 430 last, on average? What proportion of the music venues that traded between 1999 and 2007 were open in 2007? Indeed, how many music venues were open in 2007? What's the betting it was less than 245?

> The other part: I was working for a scientific charity, with charitable pay. I wasn't saving much money, even with living in a shared house, so decided I needed a new job. I wanted to continue writing software for science, so there weren't all that many jobs that interested me in London.

You pays your money, you takes your choice. Some jobs and some people are surely getting priced out of London. But the city as a whole is doing very well thank you.
hell.. seriously.. if a 15 year old can hack your systems.. your systems are shit
I think here is the key point.

Sure you can be productive after a month or two, but having the same in depth knowledge of a product will take a lot longer. My last place claimed they couldn't afford to give me more money, yet they are now employing two people to do my job (and I doubt they will be as effective as me).

> And in Ethereum the cost of a transaction is determined by its 'gas' cost, which is based on how computationally expensive the transaction is.

Right, but the gas cost cannot be distributed over _all_ nodes, I would think. Which is why I was wondering if it all goes to the node that is the first to announce that it has done a certain computation. Which leads me to wondering how "the first" is determined.

I'll keep looking around for more info, but I do hope Ethereum people realize that YouTube videos are not the same thing as proper documentation...
Who are these people and why is Twitter trying to tell me about them?
I use GitLab on CentOS 7, self hosted, from source.

It works great, I really like this project, I think it beats any alternative hands down.

I really like the accurate documentation for upgrading between versions from source (keep it up !).

I think there is a very good balance between EE-CE features, I find that the availability of the features is well thought of.

I don't use GitLab-CI at the moment (running buildbot), are there any plans to integrate support for builtbot ? or on the other hand, edit history of the CI (in jenkins you can simply delete any entry you'd like).

Keep it up ! besides the CI, GitLab offers me everything I currently need.
Thanks.
It was a natural transition. A Github solely running for "the community" would result in an unsustainable product which can only survive at the scale of Wikipedia-donation cycles.
Really 'good of the people' is a very dangerous concept. And what exactly is a special interest? People interested in copyright reform is a special interest just as people interested in copyright preservation is a special interest.

Lenin was obstesibly starting a revolution for the 'good of the people.' Cuba did as well.. The good of the people there has resulted in an average monthly income of $20.

Don't knock the special interests.. EFF and Wiki are both examples of special interests just as much as the special interests of the publishing industry.

The book Economics in One Lesson is certainly worth reading..
How to Check Whether Spacetime Is Foamy
True, for a start they have to through out all food at the end of the day where I work (we get free food for lunch), rather than save any of it for the next day (even if it would have been perfectly fine).

That is most of the food waste, but not the part that is mostly visible, which can't really be avoided, because few people have chickens to feed it to.
It should be a criminal offence to have such lax security if what you are protecting is so important.
I currently have 2 computers with SFX power supplies. One is a 300W from Silverstone and the other is a 350W from Be Quiet. Both of these are quiet. I suppose if you need lots of power (like 500-600W), then the smaller fans on the SFX power supplies could be a problem, but I haven't tried that.
There most certainly is still space for amazing discoveries to be made by the next generation of brilliant young minds.

YaNoIt Social Opinion Polls with a Simple Ya or No
I assumed all companies did this actually. The company I work for (it's a relatively small one, ~60 employees) does this.

Although, the actual interviews and results are kept secret from the rest of the company—apart from higher-ups—I got insight into them because I was asked to filter out through some final candidates by interviewing them. I realised that they kept notes from past interviews, and based on the fact that one of the interviewees progressed a lot in a 2 year period, I was inclined to put him on top of the list of my recommendation.

I feel like the ability to change is more important than just plain knowledge. More importantly, be mature and accept you "sucked" because {reasons} and work on yourself to improve, rather than be immature and "pridefully" (for a lack of better word) refuse critique.

It's called victim blaming not only for rapists; but the analogy is flawed. In this case, the "victim" is an institution, which really should know better to defend themselves. In fact, the institution here in question is often on the offense.

I'd much rather pay someone else to sort out garbage. Ideally machines would take over the task and reduce the cost to a minimum.
But if you spend all your time working on infrastructure and don't make any new features then you end up with something worthless too. So it doesn't make sense to "tax" employees more for doing one than doing the other (or rather, if you want to tax them at different rates you'd do so based on measurements of how much of each was getting done, not some a priori number).

It's also discouraging that they support their finding by saying "The significant replicated association of Neandertal SNPs with mood disorders, in particular depression, is intriguing because Neandertal alleles are enriched near genes associated with long-term depression (5)".

"Long-term depression" (LTD) has absolutely nothing to do with "depression". LTD is a mechanism of synaptic plasticity, where the strength of the synapse is reduced ("depressed").

FWIW: They were in the previous coalition government, so they got very good representation for their votes. Unfortunately their voters hated what they did, so their vote collapsed at the next election (and the party they were in government with grew in votes).

I am currently in the situation of playing the HR role for hiring a developer in our start-up - for which I am actually working as a Data Scientist.

I not just almost always give a reason for why we decided against a candidate - I even often give advice which might be relevant for future applications.

Why am I not afraid of a law suit? B/c the hiring process I designed is based on a couple of quick tests directly relevant to the position - so it's pretty clear and objective why we decide how we decide.

Most companies though actually base those decision on unsound and subjective information ... of course, those are worried about being blamed for that.

>The choice of version control system isn't especially relevant.

Actually it is, Distributed revision control has alot do to with GitHub's success as does the rest of their site. With out

CVS,Subversion, the other Centralized systems are just not as good by the nature for open source, peer-2-peer development models that SF was catering to.

To believe GitHub could have been just as successful it is was called SVNHub is to deny reality. GitHub owes most of its success to the underlying technology of Git.
The number of package managers is exploding. Every distribution, every programming language, many virtualization/sandboxing solutions, text editors, programs with plugins...

Even Darwin had noticed this, when he described the differences between groups which (unbeknownst to him) had Neadenthal origins and those who don't.

"There is however no doubt that the various races when carefully compared and measured differ much from each other as in the texture of the hair, the relative proportions of all parts of the body, the capacity of the lungs the form, and capacity of the skull, and even in the convolutions of the brain. But it would be an endless task to specify the numerous points of difference. The races differ also in constitution in acclimatisation and in liability to certain diseases. Their mental characteristics are likewise very distinct chiefly as it would appear in their emotional but partly in their intellectual faculties. Every one who has had the opportunity of comparison must have been struck with the contrast between the taciturn, even morose, aborigines of S. America and the light-hearted talkative negroes."

And to think, some fundamentalists want to ban discussion of Darwinian evolution.
Do you have any plans to provide some lightweight project management options in GitLab? I don't even want anything complex. Maybe, just a Trello-Kanban-like view of Issues and a simple burn down chart. With CI and Git/VCS and code review features GitLab could become the only thing a small team should install to go independent.
SQLite suitable?
But that's not the only logical reason, it's just the only one you happen to agree with. It's not illogical to suggest that a person being tried for an offence should be tried in the jurisdiction where the injury occurred. Disagreeable to many perhaps, but not illogical.
Sure, but again, just because something is possible and seen daily around the world does not mean it's legal or should not be prosecuted. Like someone else said, that is like a rapist blaming the victim for making it too easy.
As is the person that actually stole them.

And yes, I also think that the weight of criminal penalties should generally place more emphasis on deterring people from trying to steal stuff rather than deterring people from working in infosec or security cleared professions. Not that I don't think there are potentially people who should no longer be working for the CIA as a result of this.

It is hard to find obvious real world comparison for this kind of thing. Perhaps it should be thought of like food hygiene.

If you sell dangerous food you should take responsibility for that and not just blame the bacteria. But if someone intentionally infects food they should also take responsibility. Those two perspectives are not incompatible.

But the lesson is that bacteria and hackers will always exist!

Pics or a demo (if the project is functional) is one of the first things a project should do if it wants to gain traction. The fact that this project hasn't (yet), to me is a big factor in predicting this will never gain any traction. Software that doesn't think about end-users fails. Software developers that don't think about end-users from the beginning will fail.
Yeah... Most of personal systems suck, especially old people's personal systems... Like in this case, it's their own personal emails got hacked.
