We have about 300+ users and 100+ repos. We moved to Bitbucket because it would be too expensive to keep using Github. Looks like the pricing change would make it even more expensive for us.

I personally also use Gitlab for private side project repos and only use Github now for open source projects.
Interesting, reminds me a bit of XUL and XULRunner from the old days, which sort-of failed. What does this have in common, or is different this time?
Actually, druid.io pretty handily beats it. I've witnessed (another team member) scale opentsdb to an obscene number of writes, but getting data out with more than 3-4 tags for a near-realtime dashboard was pretty much impossible.

Here is a comment on druid I posted recently:

My "enforcing TDD" point was rather tongue in cheek. Really, I was just saying that a rails app of even moderate complexity with no tests is a very dangerous beast, and something I would not wish upon my worst enemies.

Worth noting that for some (many) companies with large teams, this amounts to a new laptop or two in price change... and while a cost change, it really is noise (to some extent) for the value provided.

That can be a lot of money. E.g. elsevier charges $5000 / article : http://www.cell.com/rights-sharing-embargoes

And that is money that should be going to research.
It looks simple, but it actually does a lot of communication behind the scenes via JS with an add-on installed in the browser. Also, someday, this whole web app may end up embedded in Firefox itself.
No, it's like arguing that some people get into car accidents, so more people driving is a bad idea.

It's a feed based social media app. You dictate exactly what it shows you by who you follow. I curate my feed to be almost exclusively interesting photography. You can too.

Try Gitlab, it's free and partly open source and much closer to Github's UI than Bitbucket.
I found this equally true for the other side of argument too. Some people choose to ignore that Polymorphsim is a dynamic typed behavior. (Its general being multiple dispatch.) And the faith to compiler seems not come from the understanding of what a compiler is. The author of the original post doesnt seem to recognize Java is also a slow, interpreted language. Haha.
Well if you publish these cases online the hospital will lose substantial business. So it's like a canary. At least you are getting information about what's going wrong, and then you can put pressure on the management to fix it via other means like regulation, penalties, or whatever.
I guess he's not paying his employees 900% market rate, why would he pay 900% market rate for GitHub instead of BitBucket? Just trying to point that your logic doesn't check out.

I personally like the new pricing, but as a non-paying user of GitHub and BitBucket... I'll stick to BitBucket for my private repos :) I guess they don't give a damn as I'm still not paying either :)
The LA to SF bus comes to mind. Seems like a miserable existence to spend so much time couped up in a car but the self-driving option will allow more productive use of time.
I don't think the fact that wealthy people from all over the world come to the US is an important factor in evaluating the overall health system. The deciding factor should be what the average citizen gets out of it.

Otherwise Italy could claim they are building the best cars in the world by having Ferrari and Lamborghini.
Brutally true.
I do due diligence for a living and many VCs at the early stage (seed to A) do very little diligence. When you take a portfolio approach, it's usually not economical to do so for every investment.
It is highly dubious that this is some feature of the expense of medical care in the US. For example, it's generally recommended that for surgery, you actually want to see a doctor who works in the public system (in Australia, my country) because for routine procedures the guy who does them everyday, all the time, is probably a lot better at it then the guy who can choose his cases.

The US has a giant population with first-world levels of funding from the government - it's fairly likely that care quality is simply the intersection of population and experience. But you pay more from the government per person, and get less. Your system and outcomes should be so much better and you all should be angry about that. It's just at some level of size and overall budget, you get a lot despite being inefficient.
Those numbers aren't particularly compelling, especially for the countries the author listed as not having the resources to deal with an outbreak:

Nigeria: 265

India: 4,522

Indonesia: 0
The only counter to people's opinions on a political movement can't just be "they're not portrayed right!" or "you're just viewing things through a biased lens."

There has to be something substantial at some point. Throughout this whole thread this theme remains constant. There's nothing but vague, unsubstantiated hypotheticals and a general display of ignorance of the last two decades of the U.S. political history.

It's really quite irritating that this is what's passing as good discussion on HN, but I suppose every community has its downfall.
It is only idiotic if you ignore the emotional response. The author is very afraid of this strain of Zika, they recognize that world wide distribution is inevitable but they seek to address their fear by advocating an action they know "could" be taken, to cancel the games.

Saddens me that we still cannot find solutions to bring them back to healthy. Instead of spending too much time on how law can understand it, we should find way to remove hurdles for medicine to progress.
bitbucket still sounds like a better deal as far as money goes, though github somehow catches all the eyeballs. bitbucket has been providing similar service for less since long time ago.
Ah, the agony that I can only imagine. The many Linux distros are bad enough...
gitlab.com runs EE though doesn't it? You only need to pay if you want self hosted EE.
Malpractice limits exist in some jurisdictions in the US. Studies have shown that they do not have meaningful effects on the cost of liability insurance or the practice and cost of healthcare. (Which kind of makes sense: the limits are always adopted to prevent what are seen to be "extreme" awards which are awarded -- from the perspective of proponents of the limits -- by runaway courts/juries, or -- from the perspective of opponents -- for the most egregious incidents of malpractice; these make up a very small share of all awards and have a negligible effect on either a practitioner's or an insurer's exposure. You'd have to limit malpractice awards at a level that would affect common and uncontroversially warranted awards to have a meaningful effect.)

Today's HTML, CSS and JavaScript is a much more powerful and mature platform than XUL ever was.

The number of developers with the skills to build a native-quality interface using the web platform is hundreds of times the number of developers who ever learned XUL.

Using HTML and CSS for desktop UIs is a proven pattern now. Even Apple used WebKit views for iMessage on OS X.
That looks like a really handy feature. I'm assuming you still have macroexpand, macroexpand-1, and a macroexpand-all available?

I imagine that you could implement a similar feature for tracing, and if you were careful writing the tracing code, you could then use that code for this feature, as you could say "trace the complication e.g. (trace (eval (read ...)))" and then maybe feed in an optional list of functions to elide . This would be super handy to have as a toggle'able feature, for both macros and normal user code. I use clojure.tools.tracing a lot, and it's a life saver.
What happened? How did they piss people off?
Shell scripts are even more miserable to write than perl, and are missing a lot of features you want for most applications
If Google believes that these companies charge too high interest rates, why doesn't Google (or someone else) offer the same service but charge a lot less? They would end up helping poor people that need emergency money while driving the "predatory" lenders they so dislike out of business.

By banning the ads they do not eliminate the need for emergency loans. It just means that those that need the emergency loans will not be able to get them anymore, or not be able to find the best deal for themselves, ending up worse off.
Are you confusing Fortune with Forbes?
On the surface that's not a bad argument. It becomes a bad argument at certain scales though -- the difference between a 1% and a 100% increase matters. The point at which it matters depends in part on the transmissibility of the disease, which is low for zika.

* I meant 100MB memory footprint. Office doesn't have a 7GB footprint.

* Office being a behemoth doesn't give a right to other apps to be whales.

* 100MB is just the runtime. Then you've got your application running on top of that, using whatever memory you want. The C/C++ runtime is not 100MB.

* Those 7GB probably include examples, layouts, whatever. Actual content. As opposed to Electron apps which are rarely more than just pretty interfaces making requests to a server. (With some high profile exceptions, like Atom, VSCode, ... Although they do send data to outside servers anyways :^))

* The Office suite is infinitely more complicated than anything done with Electron. That means features, technical debt, everything.

* Office isn't running in fucking Javascript
I think that people just need some time to accept this big change. The old logo was totally old fashion.
While it is true that end-of-life care costs are indeed out of control, to say that there is a "strong profit motive" for keeping terminally-ill patients alive seems to me a very, very cynical view.
That's an excellent point. Obviously we do know sometimes.

But GP's point was that we don't observe bad consequences from the laws in Switzerland, all I'm saying is that it wouldn't show up when someone commits suicide.

For example, it's generally recommended that for surgery, you actually want to see a doctor who works in the public system (in Australia, my country) because for routine procedures the guy who does them everyday, all the time, is probably a lot better at it then the guy who can choose his cases.

While I agree that this is the case, the people who are willing to travel for medical care are likely not traveling for routine cases; they are going to see specialists for complex cases. The quality of care varies substantially across the US, and I do think the top tier facilities in the US are some of the best (if not the best) in the world. That says nothing about the average level of care across the country however, and it is typically difficult to get access to these premiere hospitals unless you know someone with connections in medicine or have money.
I believe it and know that sucked, but unfortunately in Rails 3 we got caught with our collective pants down in terms of security. Nobody competent was really auditing it (as was demonstrated against Github) to match the amount of momentum that it had. I see that as more of a Black Swan event than any inherent problem with the framework (yes, I'm basically blaming its users). This wasn't typical of the Rails 2 to 3 upgrade path and doesn't look like it'll be the 4 to 5 path either...and certainly not for incremental updates.

My point is that the article is actually good on history (although I disagree with how the author interprets history). You however, are nowhere close to historically accurate.

No, the OP was not trying to fix anything. The OP was complaining about "personal responsibility". They were simply trying to make themselves feel superior for nothing being unlucky enough to get caught in one of those situations.
Shorting ETFs is expensive. You need to borrow the shares from someone in order to re-sell them, and you pay them for the privilege.

Futures work on margin with relatively low fees so if you wanted leveraged short exposure to the US market that's what you'd naturally trade.

One of the posters below who describes buying a put and selling a call at the same strike is describing a roundabout futures trade. The put/call method would have far higher transaction costs, though.
"There does not need to be demand: Steve Jobs (in)famously said that where there was no market, "create one"."

What people forget is that Steve Jobs was a repeated failure at doing that, got fired, did soul-searching, succeeded with NEXT, got acquired, and then started doing what you describe. Even he failed more than he succeeded at that stuff. A startup trying to one-off create a market just for a non-competitive chip is going to face the dreaded 90+% failure rate.

"But the most important point was, and still is, and always will be: it has to cost as much as the competition, or less."

That's why the high-security stuff never makes it. It takes at least 30% premium on average per component. I totally believe your words fell on deaf ears at Sun. I'd have bought SunBlades myself if I could afford them. I could afford nice PC's. So, I bought nice PC's. Amazing that echo chamber was so loud in there that they couldn't make that connection.

"I for one would absolutely love to be able to buy an illumos-powered A4-sized tablet which ran a SPARC V9 instruction set"

That's actually feasible given the one I promote is 4-core, 1+GHz embedded chip that should be low power on decent process node.

The main issue is the ecosystem and components like browsers with JIT's that must be ported to SPARC. One company managed to port Android to MIPS but that was a lot of work. Such things could probably be done for SPARC as well. The trick is implementing the ASIC, implementing the product, porting critical software, and then charging enough to recover that but not more than competition whose work is already done for them. Tricky, tricky.

Raptor's Talos Workstation, if people buy it, will provide one model that this might happen. Could get ASIC's on 45-65nm really quick, use SMP given per-chip cost is $10-30, port Solaris/Linux w/ containers, put in a shitload of RAM, and sell it for $3,000-6,000 for VM-based use and development. It would still take thousands of units to recover cost. Might need government sales.
I don't think Microsoft deserves more for being more successful in the desktop game. If anything, they would deserve more because they have a larger social responsibility because of their success. How do you take many of these companies recent publicity surrounding wanting to better protect users (see: Apple vs. FBI or Microsoft building their own data centers to protect against NSA compromised data centers). Do you feel this is for show?

That's the entire point of their post, is that the status quo is fine, and it's other people's fault for not being able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. It's their fault for not being able to get an education. It's their fault for not being able to up and move to another area.
> I don't really think there's debate that the US gives the best medical care if money is no object. My understanding is that, with very few exceptions, the wealthy all over the world come to the US if they have a serious medical condition.

There's a number of individual places in the US and Europe (and possibly some elsewhere) that attract the rich from all over the world, based on reputation as providing the best care for particular conditions. But the US as a whole does not provide the best overall quality of healthcare (outcomes are about average for the developed world) even before considering overall cost, and has overall cost (whether looked at per GDP or per capita) much higher than the rest of the developed world (per GDP, government spending on healthcare in the US is at a fairly typical level for a developed world country where the vast majority of all health spending is by the government, and private spending on healthcare in the US exceeds government spending.)

The inefficiency and wastefulness of US healthcare compared to the rest of the developed world -- most of which have considerably more government involvement in and control of healthcare -- is quite notable.
The assets pipeline can be tricky, sure, but it's tackling an issue that is really hard to get right. Routing in Rails on the other hand, I don't really see what's so complicated about it. You define resources, you have namespaces, constraints, the DSL is extremely nice and straightforward, I think it's actually one of the huge successes of Rails as a framework.

If you boldly state you can cut the cord for most mobile devices, you're going to get a lot of VC attention, this is no surprise.

What is (to me at least) is the shocking realization, that due diligence apparently is not always what it is cracked up to be.
How many startups have a non-core-dev-advisor who they will now pay $9/month to get occasional comments from? Or not?

One downside of this change is if you have a private Github org, you are now incentivized not to add advisors/randoms to your org/repos. I wonder how much scurrying Github sees to remove errant users from orgs.
