Yeah, I run Gitlab-EE internally and am aware of gitlab.com being a test bed but I can definitely see how others less familiar with Gitlab aren't aware of that.

Taking a quick glance at their site I can't even find anything about it basically being the test bed. There used to be some lines last year that said something along the lines that gitlab.com was known to be unstable and they recommended important projects to be self hosted. Maybe it was in the docs, I forget.

They should probably emphasize that somewhere if that's still the route they're going, although I feel like I did read they're working on major stability/infrastructure upgrades to solve those issues.

I don't pay much attention to gitlab.com since I use my own ee.
In my experience reading the Phoenix source code is much simpler than Django or Rails so less need for stack overflow or help. There is much less to go wrong as well.
I do quite a bit of event passing and processing from physical sensors and devices. It is proving quite useful there. I probably won't do all of our system with elixir though.

>they need some kind of permit to change jobs and sometimes they are actually forced to work somewhere.

Your information is outdated. China is changing rapidly. Things that were true 20 years ago are not true anymore.

It used to be that people had to be part of a work unit. In return people received free housing and were assigned a job. This is not true anymore. People can move around the country relatively freely, they can pick their job and buy their house. On the other hand they may have to live in the street and or go on without a job.

Big companies like Foxconn provide housing etc. and may try to control their workers, but people can quit and leave. They even have strikes. Chinese workers still don't have right to organize, but sometimes collective bargaining is allowed at factory level.

Chinese government still restricts workforce moment into some areas to prevent formation of slums in the cities.
What We Learned from Adding 10 Tb/s to Our Network in 18 Months Flat
The US constitution states otherwise. It says that Congress is allowed (not required) to grant limited time copyrights to promote the useful arts and sciences. That seems to make it quite explicit that copyright is granted by the government and not just recognized by it.
Or switch to a less pragmatic distribution.
I was reading Twitter financials.

The income from operational activities is growing a lot (The news usually don't comment this), really good numbers, but as also the expenses. Selling/General/Admin. Expenses doubled, I suppose they are trying to find a way to make money, and they are doing it, but the expenses needs to stop growing.
It also seems years ago they borrowed a lot of money to invest on firm, now they are paying constantly.

Impossible to know if this will be a good company to invest or not, but it is still very risky, as major disruptive IT companies.

I think, in a sense, Twitter is living up to its potential -- and it has a lot of potential.

What happens, however, when it doesn't live up to its benefactor's expectations?
Let's say that for some reason POTUS decides to start using facebook instead. Then what? Yes, I'm not denying the impact of those tweets, all I'm saying is that is just only ONE user driving the impact.
You'd likely see performance improvements but not much else.
> things can pass testing but fail in production if the staging environment provides an imperfect simulation of the production environment

Your staging environment should match production, or it's not really staging at that point. It doesn't have to match it in _size_, just structure and process. Ignoring data loss, if you can't quickly switch staging to production it's not really staging. It's just a dorky test environment masquerading as a stage environment. It's also surprisingly not that difficult (the variation of difficulty depends on the type of data you're interacting with, and how isolated it needs to be) to "forward" a slice of real word traffic to your staging environment and monitor it for some duration of time.

>For example, your staging environment servers should be connecting to a different database with a different password.

Handled by proper CI/CD pipelines. Completely irrelevant to deploying new features, configuration for production specific users/passwords happens on the sysadmin/devops side of things.

All those netbooks (atom processors; 1 GB or 2 GB ram; 32 GB hard drive) would be great with Linux (once the drivers get fixed) and really benefit from 32 bit because of the ram limitations.

The first time I got rear-ended I was coming to a stop at a red light, the second time I was in the left-turn lane and came to a complete stop at the blinking red light. At no time was there any "flow of traffic" to speak of. The only way I caused those accidents was by not zooming through the light that was changing to red and not driving into the middle of the intersection on a blinking red light.

It's not my fault other drivers don't expect me to follow the law.
The switch to the 'python' command running python 3, as a non-arch user, put me off Arch forever. It just broke everything, which had long assumed 'python' would run python 2.

Not installing python 2, and just python 3, with the name python3, would have been fine.

Arch put us in a situation where it was basically impossible to run python 2 with a #! line, as some distros hadn't yet introduced a 'python2' symlink yet.
Might be best solution for government if Facebook starts blocking 'alternative facts'.

Why don't they just put ads on their page like every other company? With all the embedded tweets as well as what the user subscribes to they know who the user is so they can show them relevant ads.

The building could be thought more of as a maker-space instead of a hacker-space, so encouraging other forms of creativity (writing, cooking, etc.) which might draw in more folks.

What about hukou?

In November 2005, Jiang Wenran, acting director of the China Institute at the University of Alberta, said that the hukou system was one of the most strictly enforced apartheid structures in modern world history.[56] He stated, 'Urban dwellers enjoy a range of social, economic and cultural benefits while peasants, the majority of the Chinese population, are treated as second-class citizens.'[56]

Kam Wing Chan (陳金永 Chén Jīnyǒng) and Buckingham's (2008) article, "Is China Abolishing the Hukou System?"[30] argues that previous reforms have not fundamentally changed the hukou system, but have only decentralized the powers of hukou to local governments. They conclude that the hukou system remains active and continues to contribute to China's rural and urban disparity.[31]

In March 2008, over 30 leading intellectuals wrote an open letter to the Government, asking for the "immediate abolition of the rural-urban dual hukou system." In 2008-09, web posted essays remarked the Hukou system as a "caste system" of China, and "China a great country of discrimination."[32] The system is currently only partially enforced, and it has been argued that the system will have to be further relaxed in order to increase availability of skilled workers to industries.[33]

I understand that there has been some reform, but it still exists.
Most of what the EU passes is regulations that the member states have to put into laws. The member states can create laws that are stricter.

For instance the EU mandates at least 14 weeks of maternal leave (http://ec.europa.eu/justice/gender-equality/rights/work-life...). All EU countries except Germany actually mandate more than 14 weeks: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_leave#Europe_and_Cent...

Similarly countries can also have stricter laws regarding pesticides.
I've heard about ageism (like racism, but for people of different ages) since around 2000-2001. Really around the time baby boomers started getting close to retirement age and some companies decided it was a better deal to fire them or lay them off than pay the pensions they had earned, and also with the DotCom boom where startups would only hire 20-somethings. It's not really a new term.

This is good advice, but I've seen huge successes by authors and article writers who violate these rules (the recent trend of long literary fiction such as 'City on Fire', which is 900 pages). Nowadays, the trend is towards longer, 'epic' fiction with post-modern themes, whereas in Vonnegut's day (along with Heinlein, Asimov etc.) 'short' was better. Up until as recently as the 90's, 'short' was ideal, but all that changed. Look at Harry Potter and other popular books...all very long. It also deepens on the audience and the purpose...if you're trying to convey technical information , fluff is undesirable

This is not so different actually, and has been done in the past by other auto manufacturers (some may even still be doing this today). The Ford River Rouge plant is the best example I can think of with literal Iron Ore going in one side and finished cars rolling out the other.

Musk may have been inspired by this plant.

Correct. Unless we're talking about extremely specific software, new performance typically just comes from newly learned skills. More efficient database calls, removal of long running loops, yada yada. I've revisited software I wrote for a company in my school days, only to decrease SQL calls from one minute to less than a second.

"But...how hard is it to cut it down to real bare-bones staff"

I'm sure you'd lay off the right people but it's much much more difficult than you think because everyone appears to be doing stuff. Let's say 3/4 people need to go - reviewing that individually is a nightmare for morale and very time consuming.

It also never seems to happen - instead companies take the easier road and keep doing a small minimal amount of layoffs because the big one is almost impossible and might lead to whole pieces of the site stopping working.

Do you find opinionated essays by persuasive writers to be "manipulative"? I view Adam Curtis documentaries as "intellectual essays in film/narrative form".

There is another kind of documentary, e.g. the Ken Burns style, that seems to take no position, similar to a piece of journalism. This is simply a different style of documentary.

You should check out Werner Herzog's "Lo and Behold", which may be at the center point of these two styles. In that film, Herzog is clearly stating a point of view, but the visual structure -- its scenes, setup, cinematography, and structure -- borrows from the journalistic style. If you put these three styles on a spectrum, perhaps then you will find the style itself isn't worth debating, just as George Orwell vs Jorge Luis Borges may have been writers of very different styles, but very (nonetheless) interesting content.
I'm the writer of the article, I'll answer any questions you may have on here!
To sell cars in California manufacturers need to get credit for selling a certain number of electric or hybrid cars. I believe Nissan sells leafs at a loss to meet those quotas. BMW and Fiat certainly do. Most of the other big manufacturers are buying credits from Tesla to meet their quotas. The credits were the only reason Tesla made a profit on a recent quarter.
Twitter probably gets more free PR (with the news about famous people tweeting) than just about any tech company out there. It's sort of found its niche as a nano-blogging platform for people others like to listen to. It's never going to get to the true social network like Facebook and others have achieved, but that's fine.

The issue is just that's it's a very bloated company. I still question why Twitter isn't just like 100 people in a basement somewhere. Their revenue isn't great but it's also not terrible--it's their costs (which is mostly people related) that's complete out of whack. In my interactions with the company they always felt very bloated relative to what they do.
I'm 57. I've been programming since I was 19 and I'm successful.

Never made pots of money, but it's kept me in comfort. Success for me is having a lovely wife, great kids, roof over our heads, food in our tums, enjoying time together, doing some of those bucket list things, and laughing every single day.

I still love programming and solving problems for people. You won't have heard of anything I've written, but much of it is still in use and (I like to think), makes people's lives a bit easier and hopefully helps them have the same kind of success I enjoy.

We can't all be millionaires, but maybe we can all improve humanity a bit by the things we create.
It really wasn't that bad and the AUR + official channels had patched packages with the correct shebang line. The worst offender for a while was the node-waf builder, had to patch it manually to get any packages to build, otherwise you needed a command line arg every time. This was like 5 years ago tho... These days I have never hit an issue w/ a properly installed python package.
I find that as a developer, freelance becomes extremely difficult to manage client expectations with cost. They always want all of the features, without breaking the bank. However, I could see if you take that leap, then there could be more time to manage that. I have yet to have the guts to take that leap.

5 Tips for Startup Branding on a Budget
Well no, it's a portmanteau of "regular" and "expression".
The thing is, and Rust advocates seem to consistently plug their ears when they hear it, is that most software written specifically in C++ is very highly specialized stuff with a small specific client set, where security is just not an issue.

According to the poll that JetBrains did when it started working on CLion, about half of C++ usage is in financial software. I will tell you first hand that in most applications in financial software, C++ servers will be talking to other internal servers, exchanges, reputable data distributors, etc. The idea that memory = security risk is just not a connection that people around here generally make.

I also know some game developers and my strong sense is that games are similar. Video games may talk to a specialized multiplayer server, an update server, and that's mostly it.

I could continue, but you get the idea. For most C++ developers I've ever encountered, memory issue == bug, != security risk.

Browsers, which operate on maximally complex data (a Turing complete programming, JS) and are by nature exposed to the entire world, including malicious users who want to harm other browser users, are simply not the typical domain for C++. I think there's every chance that Rust is a good fit for writing browsers, but outside of that things are much less clear (at least, at the moment).
It was supposed to be thought provoking due to the widespread dismissive nature of the lack of accountability in the US government.

There's a trope in several topics where saying murder when you really mean "premeditated killing" can derail a conversation simply because no law currently supports the action in question as an illegal killing.
Good for Arch, I guess. Still, there's plenty of uses for 32-bit platforms. Also, much of the attractiveness of Linux (the kernel) and the GNU software has always been in their excellent support for various architectures and platforms.

Incidentally, wouldn't the exclusive use of 64-bit pointers (and size_t) prompted by the inflated need in large address spaces lead to an ever more increasing demand for memory (due to in-memory objects being now bigger in size)?

> Do you find opinionated essays by persuasive writers to be "manipulative"

To be honest: Yes. I kind of avoid columns for that reason. I get very little out of that kind of stuff. The same goes for those lengthy "long read" opinion pieces that have come into fashion. They're basically just very long columns.
Isn't a Giffen good then just something where one infers quality from price? I've seen that happen many times with my own eyes, so hard to believe they've never been identified. It's possible to price something so cheap, people assume there's a catch.
For sure and that's one of the reasons I think they have a chance of at least getting to the same level as Github. I've actually worked at two fortune 500 companies that are using the self hosted Gitlab which to me says a lot, I just wish the hosted option was a bit more... stable.

What if he had a legit reason for connecting mass storage, but just abused the privilege while connected? Network admins know he's connecting it, know what he says he's doing, has approved it and thus overrides and ignores any warnings...

Equally, what's to stop them being in the know of exactly what he's doing and abusing their privilege to allow him to do it? You assume he's acting alone... what if he wasn't?

The best lies contain elements of truth... or are almost entirely true. Find a legit reason for bypassing security and while you're bypassed, abuse it without getting caught.
I don't think growth necessarily means growing the user base.
319 million monthly active users. Say roughly half are bots that's still 150 million users and if only 83 million we converted to pay a dollar a month for a better experience (no ads, no bots, and some other value ad) it'd be another a billion in almost pure profit every year. I don't know. J just want the service to stay around though it could improve.
