Then hold them to it when something happens. Personally, I think the people who have publicly signed this, putting them a Google search away from any future employer learning about this, probably thought about it more carefully than you did.

In talking to people about this pledge --- particularly people resistant to the pledge (I have conservative friends), the most notable thing I've learned is that people do this all the time. Almost everyone I've talked to knows someone who quit a job over principle, or did so themselves.

It's time for us to stop acting like this is such a weird thing to say or do, and recognize the market power we can so easily put behind basic principles we all share. Please don't tell me that thousands of people who have --- I am not being hyperbolic --- changed jobs over the quality of the free catered lunch wouldn't do so to avoid being affiliated with mass deportation or a Muslim registry.

You will need a better argument than this to dismiss the effort.
The History of Mental Illness: From Skull Drills to Happy Pills
...aaand no more OSS!

Only half-kidding. So many big and small projects are using GitHub as their primary repository and sometimes their only homepage. And there's all those benefits of it being something of a social network as well, and an issue tracker and so on.

I'm sure something else would take its place, but it would take a while before it gets as much momentum.
This is actually closer to my original plan than Stripe. Click "Buy now" at https://www.shopify.com/buy-button and it does exactly what I need. Documentation at http://shopify.github.io/js-buy-sdk/examples/. Pricing is different than Stripe but within reason.
This has been around for a while. I wish there was a better integration with the Amazon Echo.

The benefit is that the delivery fee is included into your Amazon Prime plan.

Now, in my opinion, Sprig is a much more affordable everyday meal option when you get the membership. There's also Doordash, GrubHub, EAT24, UberEATS, Postmates... etc. You'll find some restaurants are not available in some apps.
Not really. StackOverflow is mirrored and archived everywhere, like in the Google Cache. Github is read/write, and can't be mirrored anywhere near as easily.
Where do you think people with that much money keep it? I imagine it's invested in all kinds of things, including venture capital and private equity.
Pretty cool.

As far as Neural Networks goes, I would really recommend reading Michael Nielsen's book (http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com). Just top notch content and free!
People keep bringing that up, but that's missing the bigger picture: GitHub is more than just a git host, it's also a "social hub" where people can fork repos and offer changes back (pull requests), a passable bugtracker (issues), even wiki, and even web host (github.io).

Many people have warned that using these added-value features makes you dependent on GitHub (Linus Torvalds has a kernel mirror on GitHub, but for this reason refuses to use its other features). Migrating all that metadata is hard (is it even possible?).
I think those are what determines permanency. But let's not be pedantic.
And it's actually a real problem because [professional HR hiring people] aren't, in general, competent to be screening applicants, and indeed can't be, unless they are former software engineers themselves.

Bingo. Unfortunately, in a situation where it is typically in both sides' best interests to play to their strengths and hide their weaknesses as much as they reasonably can (and sometimes more), it is hard to see how to fix that problem. I suspect the rules of the game need to change, so that technical experts are involved much earlier in the process, even if it means staff with software development or related roles have to step away from their normal work now and then to participate in recruitment activities.

Yes, they are. My point was that when you enumerate collections in Python, it doesn't matter, because it's just `for x in xs: ...` - you don't actually see the indices. This is in response to "much more common to run through every element" in the parent comment - it's just not a relevant scenario for indexing in most languages today.

But slices definitely are, yes.
Maybe they'll be the next Verizon aquisition
The DynDDOS attack a couple of months back made it hard for us to reach github at a few points during the day. Was pretty bad...
This is under the PrimeNow banner- everything is delivered under an hour.
> With one-based indexing, you can’t have arr[-1] as the last element (that would cause huge problems!)

Can you give some examples?
Another problem lies in the extreme pursuit of youthfulness, and the lack of respect for the elderly, the latter of which is opposite to what you find in "happy" cultures.

It creates a rather sad outlook on life.
America recently redefined what unemployment means.

It used to mean "the amount of people currently capable of working, who are not employed in work."

The new definition is "the amount of people who want a job, but can't find one".

Basically the difference between structural unemployment and transitive unemployment. America used to track transitive unemployment, but through a series of reforms have narrowed in on measuring structural unemployment.

Originally if you were not employed you would be unemployed. Slowly this was altered so that if you were not employed and hadn't found a job in a month you were unemployed (because you were looking and not finding, and therefore there was no job for you). Slowly that got moved out. I don't have the most recent numbers committed to memory, but an not employed person is not considered unemployed unless they've been looking and have not found for a large amount of time.

This article hits on that theme. The argument/opinion it expresses is that the jobs ARE there - that structural unemployment is low - but that workers aren't finding good work ("transitive unemployment is high").

There's been huge moves in the labor market as middle skilled jobs are disappearing. The only move for the labor pool is down to low-skilled labor jobs, work that masses of the labor pool are not only overqualified for, but will be compensated significantly less for and which represent much less socioeconomic mobility.
Another approach gives each element a 'data ready' flag (ie the real element type inherits from T). This flag is set by a producer and cleared by the consumer. This would give you an empty/full indication.
We like to think things are so different from 50 years ago, let alone a few hundred. When I talk to people my age, they puff out their chests and tell me I'm a fool for buying a house. "If you had that money in the market you'd make 7%" they tell me, "What's that house get you 4?" they guffaw. What they miss is nothing has really changed, rent strangles the laborer and professional alike. Sharecropping is alive and well the only difference is we added a commute and called it progress.
Private mode wasn't enough to fix the error for us.

At least not in all cases, i.e. we tried production, staging and an instance running on localhost. Private mode usually changed in which places the login worked, but it never helped for all three.
I knew you knew it did all the other stuff.

You're right about the phone, but it's very nice to be able to just raise my wrist and sort of whisper into my watch. I don't have to make sure I'm loud enough that my phone can hear me from my pocket. It just feels easier/more natural if you don't already have your phone in your hand.

I wonder if the pricing on the Blaze was set before the latest Apple Watches came out. That would have been a decent value against $350 or whatever they were, but now that a very nice one starts at $260 it's a tougher sell.
Github brings additional value that just being a DVCS - I manage all of my external consultants through it (assign work through issues, often review/approve PR's via the UI, able to easily share a link to a specific line of code, easily share info via the wiki etc).

There are obviously alternatives but the Github UI just makes it so easy to work with others.
It's actually sort of the opposite here. Telecom's let cable companies beat them to the broadband market. So cable internet companies are the market leaders. And telecoms are ceding the market to them and just taking whatever they can get without investing too much.

Verizon Fios is a good example, they built it to compete with cable, but they still can't get more marketshare (in overlapping markets). It's barely profitable.

Telecoms don't think it's worth investing to challenge the cable monopoly.
I see now that A-IDE Web is mainly for Cordova apps... I'm probably going to run into the same problems as you. I'm using Express in development as a simple static-file server. :/
I'm a GitLab Community Advocate, so I'm biased, but off the top of my head:

- Performance, we're working on improving this for GitLab.com but right now it's slower than we'd like. If you run your own instance it'll be fine as long as you meet the recommended specs, GitLab.com struggles because we have so many users by comparison.

- Following users/social network-y things, we haven't really focused on this and don't have a way to follow another user right now (you can watch projects though).

- Third party integrations, we don't have as many third parties integrating with the product as GitHub does, though that's kind of to-be-expected.

And while I'm here, some things we do better (IMO):

- CI, we have it integrated into the product and have Review Apps plus GitLab Pages (which is better than GitHub Pages in some ways, e.g. in that it allows any static site generator and allows building sites dynamically via CI).

- Responsive design, GitHub has a separate mobile site that's not fully-featured compared to the desktop site. I browse on mobile _a lot_ so this is big for me, maybe not for others.

- Community Edition, which has a significant majority of the features of Enterprise Edition, is open source, MIT-Licensed, and anybody can contribute to it.

There are others, but I don't want to shill too hard :P

EDIT: Also I want to mention that we value diversity, I strongly disagree with the grandparent comment about how inclusivity shouldn't be rewarded.
That and their open racism (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11049067).

Hopefully, they wake up soon enough and stop this bs.
Thanks a lot. This was a very detailed experience you provided. Also, is there something I might miss from a workstation focused motherboard compared to a workstation one? Like dedicated audio cards, SLI etc.

I do plan to research before spending but want to get a general feel before going in.

Yes, you reprice labor. It is potentially inflationary though.

>The business itself may not be a great business due to the amount of cost it takes to run it -- but it's necessary for the running of other ventures.

The latter half of the statement applies to Stripe as well. The big difference between GitHub and Stripe is that Stripe's business model is more directly tied to the growth of entrepreneurship economy: the more money goes through Stripe-powered businesses, the more money Stripe makes. In GitHub's case, the correlation is less direct and less predictable.

UI.
For UI, I would take github over gitlab any day.
If they can't stand on their own feet, I imagine somebody would/will buy GitHub at a firesale rather than see it disappear completely. For all their missteps, they have developer mindshare that is the envy of everyone. If we're lucky it would be someone like Google or Microsoft, if we're unlucky it might be Oracle or SalesForce. Whoever it would
end up being though, GitHub won't just vanish.
Feature-wise it's great but the .com version can be really slow. A simple git push of a few small commits took me about 50 seconds earlier this week.

The takeaways from the article:

(2) Half the team is remote! Kudos to them for making this work.

To "request clarification" about that is, in fact, "nuts", because (a) it's off topic and worse, and (b) it guarantees a flamewar. Please stop.
Thanks a lot. Does it make sense to have more cores vs faster cores if I only plan on using IDEs and doing general development? No video editing or doubling my machine as an application server to serve my personal website.

In the U.S., you do. "Real" media do it all the time. There are laws against making slanderous or libelous statements against individuals and entities, but every American has the right to say, "the moon landings were faked and greens are smarter than libertarians" if they want.
Some other country? I'm fairly sure all countries have developers relying on github.
We'll just move the code to gitlab. Git allow us to do it almost painlessly (well, with a missing issue backlog). It's not a big deal.
Designing Typography Insight for HoloLens
I would actually recommend people to give amateur ornithology a try. When I was 12, my grandfather gave me a pair of binoculars and an ornithology guide and since then, every summer I go on hikes to watch birds. It's a wonderfully relaxing and fulfilling activity, my brain is weirdly active while watching birds and I end up doing a lot of reflection on those hikes. It's also incredibly satisfying to spot a rare bird.

I know you might think you will never be into it, but give it a try. It's also a great activity to keep doing well into old age.
And that's why exceptions have no real world usage in C++, except for a few local functions here and there.
Assume that on average,

* delivery time = 30 minutes

* minimum wage + minor benefits = $10/hr

* cost of vehicle, gas and other logistics = $5/hr

...then they must charge $10 per delivery. If you squeeze and wiggle may be you can bring this down to $7 or so likely not considering downtimes in between peak hours. I thought this was the reason why most door-to-door delivery services eventually failed or switched to catering. What is the new business innovation here?
Thanks for taking the time to write that - I'm going to recycle several of your points in future conversations. This is a frustrating topic for me as I've been through not acknowledging to myself that I had a problem, getting therapy, trying many different medications, investing time and effort to change diet and exercise habits and so on. Many things have led to incremental improvements but it's still An Issue, and explaining things to people from scratch really gets old.
Please don't introduce generic controversy like this with such a tenuous connection to the discussion at hand, especially with an unsubstantiated causal implication. We're just so unlikely to learn something in the inevitable flamewar that follows.
The problem is social hubs add very little real value and are easily replaceable, especially among technically astute people.
Thats a good point. If the US did a "no drive" list, there's no way it would standup in the courts. Counter point would be a "no firearm" list which runs counter to the 2nd amendment and may standup in the courts.

Hi hobofan (funny name btw), really good questions:
1) BI/Data analysis for non-developers: It's not a feature we're providing yet out of the box but it's on our roadmap for the upcoming months. For now we're focussing on the best possible DX.
2) FAQ link: Yup, you're right. That's broken right now. We're fixing it.
3) Competitor matrix: Good point, we'll try to make this more clear/objective.
4) Dedicated "features" page: I agree, we'll consider it while restructuring the page.

Again, thanks a lot for your great feedback. And I'm glad you enjoyed using Graphcool so far!
The US unemployment rate is based on people with zero jobs actively looking. It doesn't include people who've given up on their career and are looking after their kids, hermits in their parents' house, homeless, etc.

That's why you have to include other data, such as the Labor Participation Rate. The LPR which shows how many of the working-age people actually seem to be doing so:

So what do you see when both graphs are together:

It seems safe to assume a large part of the drop isn't because satisfied people are finding jobs, but because fewer people are trying.
Are you saying that VCs are investing because they see companies like GitHub as being public goods? That's contrary to normal investing principles, unless there's some reason to think that a VC investing will result in their portfolio companies having superior access.

That's clearly not true, when the votes of California residents are worth significantly fewer electoral votes per capita than in any other state. Until the electoral college is replaced with a straight popular vote, we will never have the right to equally-weighted votes.

If you are an investor, you want to invest $1 to get $2 back (aka shareholder value). If your dividends are not growing, you divest and invest somewhere else.

Now, the thing is very competitive, and many companies offer "exponential growth". If your growth slows down, if the perspective is not good, divestment starts and that is a downwards spiral.

To stay competitive and to prevent an investor run, companies are forced to take massive risks. And risks materialize into huge disasters... like this one apparently.
Right. That's why we never find out we were wrong about anything in science.
99% of the value of github is the user interface, not the mere fact that it's a hosted git repository.
The emails between kim and the other staff discussing it were part of the court case and are in most news articles specifically about the case.
Because we should be cheering for Gitlab, and Github, and any other major competitor in the space to perform well and be stable (and independent, ideally).

Competition & long term stability means that they can focus on the features that are most meaningful for their user base. If their revenue stream continues to be poor, they may begin making short-term decisions to prop up revenue, which ultimately will lead to a much poorer product over the long term.

Not unusual. Many orgs are still lagging on Win10 as well. They have contracts with things like cough anti-virus providers of ill repute cough and they cannot upgrade because these tools don't work.
Yep, it works not for all accounts.
I'd try the plugins then. I like the separate IDEs because they tend to optimize workflows for the language in question without any extra JVM-configuration cruft, but the plugins really do replicate 99% of the functionality. For the other 1% (or if the plugin is lagging behind some killer feature release for a week or two) fall back on the separate IDE.
