Both languages have approximately the same problems for debugging. Explicit memory references are hard to follow, lack of overflowing protection requires a lot of extra caution to catch the errors, and failures lead to an unforgiving stop with at most a core dump. C++ is much better for statically catching errors, but templates and copy/move semantics make it even harder to debug.

And yes, I imagine C++11 is much better. Unfortunately, I didn't write anything big in C++ since then.
For example: you have $1000, borrow another $500, and use the whole $1500 to short Apple.

Icahn has a much more complex position, but essentially, he's borrowing and using derivatives to get a $1,500 return for every $1,000 drop in value.

They were not overexposed militarily. After conquering and integrating the whole mediterranean basin they only had two rivaling neighbors: Germanic peoples at the north and the parthians-sassanid-persians in the east. In times of integrity they managed just fine. The only reason the germans survived history to hurt the empire was because the Antonine emperors didn't want to genocide them.

Then the empire had a stint of epidemics and bad luck that degradated socitey and the political system, leading to constant civil war.

You add "for investors" as a slur, like it's a bad thing. Every company, public or private, has investors -- even if it's just the founders.

> but spin it as a freebie "Hey! Look at the cool unlimited shit! No, no! Don't pay attention to the fact you're gonna be charged 3 times as much as before for the same service".

Except not everyone will be charged 3x as much. Many will be charged much less. It totally depends on the setup.

I have heard countless times over the years what a pain it is for orgs to be charged per repo. It incentives monolithic repos.

Equally important: from the perspective of a company trying to maintain budgets, it might actually make more sense to _them_. Factoring Github as a per-head charge, similar to everything from Slack/Gmail/Photoshop to laptops to food and other perks to healthcare benefits, might make things easier than worrying about whether your employees are structuring their repos in a way that minimizes costs.
I'm not sure about that. I think Trump gets a lot of play as a product of New York, compared to the rest of the republicans. /r/The_Donald rules reddit; often times every 5th story comes from that subreddit. These thing have contributed to his success.

I've got my problems with Rails: routing is overly complicated, the asset pipeline can be tricky, and so on.

But Rails is very good at producing HTML and, in particular, partial chunks of HTML. As the current thick-clients-in-javascript trend cools off (it's happening, this was at the top of /r/webdev yesterday: https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/4iphv4/12_year_of_p...) people are going to migrate back to HTML as a transport for web apps, using libraries like http://intercoolerjs.org. (Disclosure: I developed it)

Rails is well positioned for that.
Five private repos were more then enough for me.

When I ran out of them, I noticed that there's at least one that either does not need to be private anymore or just does not have to be on GitHub since I ditched that idea. It was a nice way for me to keep my GitHub profile nice and tidy.

Yes.

For professors, there is no "University time". They don't clock in and out. The only times they are required to be on campus is for classes, office hours and meetings. Otherwise they are free to do what they want, so forbidding them from reviewing wouldn't work.

This change was beneficial to me.

Before upgrading, a grand total of 4 users had access to our private repositories, of which we were only using 7 out of 10. I was nervous about running out of repositories moreso than the cost of adding people.

(If we grow our team, it's because we have a lot of client work that's outside my immediate strong suits and we had to hire. If we do that twice, I'll gladly pay the extra $9/month.)

Only if you treat all beliefs as equally valid a priori.

Some beliefs are demonstrably harmful.
From the perspective of a customer: repositories should be cheap, users shouldn't be. This is a positive change and one that will make me strongly consider moving from BitBucket to GitHub.

I've worked at places with two developers and 150 repositories. I've worked at places with 12 developers and 5 repositories. Who do you think gets more marginal utility out of another repository?

Every place I've worked that hasn't used GitHub either did so because of a regulatory reason (HIPAA and not wanting to do on-premise) or because the per-repository pricing model made it absolutely stupid expensive, or dumped you straight into Enterprise.

If you make a lot of money off a single private repo with many users, you'll move from "so cheap you don't even need to think about it" to "market rate." If you make a little money off of a lot of repos with a handful of users, you'll move from "don't even consider it due to cost" to "let's try it out for six months and see how it goes."

I work for an academic nonprofit.

Pollster on Sanders’ general election argument: He ‘makes a very fair point’
There's not much commentary in the article on why Thiel feels compelled to do this, so I'll make a more general comment.

For me, Thiel is a healthy reminder of the dangers of being a very smart person, who knows a lot about one thing and has been successful with that one thing, but then thinks that means you know a lot about everything.

I'm thinking of three things in particular: 1) his childish libertarian fantasy, 2) his surprisingly narrow worldview of education, and 3) his experience with Clarion Capital, where he went to NY and promptly got his ass handed to him.

So anyways, while most articles I see about him induce a bit of eye-rolling, he does remind me stay vigilant to seeking out blind spots in my own decision-making.

It's the same empty argument that started being thrown at PHP six or seven years ago.

> There is no quality journalism online, there are a bunch of crooked people trying to push different agendas, and an unfortunately large group of people willing to pretend whichever trash rags are pushing the agendas they like are "quality".

I don't know if I'd quite go that far.

I don't remember when the phenomenon started, but a lot of online platform shifted from news organizations to news orgs with blogs. The first instance I noticed was some years ago when the WSJ, Bloomberg, or some similar organization had a noticeable decline in the quality or articles that had been shared in my circles. It wasn't that the quality was down. They had integrated user blogs that required no clout to contribute. The only way to distinguish between an actual article and the no-name blog contributor was a /pages (or something similar) in the URL. At that point, you may as well have been reading a Medium post.

I do think there is plenty of quality journalism online. I think one of the main issues is that the blog side of organizations has been deeply intertwined with the actual news content. We are so used to blog spam being passed as an official news story from the companies we trusted.
This is awesome! I have wanted a different pricing structure for personal accounts for a long time.

And for those who have issues with the organizational changes, did you see?

> I am an existing organization customer and prefer the per-repository plans. Can I remain on my current plan?

> Yes, you can choose to continue paying based on the number of repositories you use. You can also upgrade or downgrade in the legacy repository structure based on the number of repositories you need.

This is a real problem, I agree. That said, there are some online news outlets that at least try to offer a better class of journalism. The Intercept is one such outlet:

You can still remove a repo and keep backups yourself. Allowing it through GH makes it very easy to exploit this by archiving/unarchiving repos constantly.

I totally understand why the library has to make such a compromise, but that's not a very strong bargaining position.

Rails codebases do not age well, and are always unpleasant to work on. I never saw the same issue with django codebases of a similar age. Nor even ones from Perl or PHP frameworks either.

No. It is a special combination of the shiny insecure magic of Rails, mixed with the happy meal mentality and abilities of most Rails developers.
I wrote enough patches to ZFSOnLinux that I have the distinction of number 2 by commit count. It was a hobby for me at first and quite frankly, I never expected it to make a difference for more than a few hundred people. Now ZoL is on millions of systems through Ubuntu in part because of my work and there are far more places using it than I can count.

Open sourcing those patches rather than keeping them to myself made a difference that was greater than anything I imagined. Similarly, the impact of making ZFS open source far surpassed the expectations of the original team at Sun. I think that making any worthwhile piece of software open source will lead to adoption beyond the scope of what its authors envisioned. All it takes is people looking for something better than what previously existed.

As for closed source being inherently evil (your words, not mine), how do you fix bugs in closed source software that a vendor is not willing to fix? How do you catch things like a hard coded password that gives root privileges? How do you know that the software is really as good as they say? It is far easier with open source software than with closed source software. Closed source software is a bad idea.

This is absolutely fucking atrocious news for any company who wants to run an agile operation.

I always framed the "Github vs Bitbucket" as an "agile vs enterprise" mentality -- BitBucket made you think hard about adding new people, and air on the side of limiting access -- ie. conceal by default. That's perfect for enterprise, but the worst fucking incentive ever for an org that wants to make as many projects as possible accessible to all company members. GitHub (in times past), removed this cognitive burden of thinking "does this person /really/ need access....?" -- ie. transparent by default.

But now they've fucked up.

I was always in favour of avoiding self-hosting when there was a great hosted service like GitHub available. But I would now never advise any company that I cared about to use GitHub. It will contort and twist the openness you wish to imbue in your growing company
