We still support a local Virtualbox/Vagrant VM for the "offline" case, but that's the very environment that we're actively migrating away from. Realistically speaking the thought of an "offline" environment is impossible - our users need regular updates of our repositories, which requires a network connection; and of course SO/Google is a necessity :-). Also, at our scale we're running into the limits of Apple's machines. There's just not enough RAM for all of (Jetbrains Something), (Local VM with tons of services), (some ARM emulator), (40 Chrome tabs), (Slack). We can't provide a good local dev experience going forward. Between MiFi and MOSH (a UDP, mobile optimized SSH "alternative"), I think we can support the transit use case without using a local VM.
most annoying is Google News when I dont want local news. Also YouTube
This isn't anything enterprise software companies haven't been doing for decades. John Deere just didn't set expectations. If there's enough demand for an open alternative, that's a business opportunity.

Personally I think it's stupid. Release the code under GPL and you'll save yourself a PR nightmare and future proof the company. Manufacturing and design of farm equipment is what keeps competition out, not software.
I suspect the next big thing will be to incorporate machine learning into the software development life cycle.

- Issue comments that are no longer relevant, should be collapsed by default.
- You should be able to get a "too long; did not read" for issue comments.
- Searches should be context aware. Matches should take into consideration the user, time, branch (is this a release branch, developer branch, shared development branch, etc.) and so on.
- Build logs should include a "too long; did not read"
- Builds should be context aware to prevent wasting of resources.

I guess what ever can save time, money and speed development would be next generation features.

I'm not sure what GitLab's sales engagement looks like, but if you are not, you should be asking to speak with a company's internal, tools dev team, if you can. Large companies spend an insane amount of money and time, creating/maintaining bespoked dev tools for internal use. Companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. spend millions in labour cost annually, to build and maintain their internal solutions.

GitLab's goal, should be to see if they can create comparable solutions, that can be managed by small startups and mid size companies. Having worked in tools dev for Enterprise, I knew being able to search and analzye anything, is a time saver, but I also knew, it would be cost prohibitive for many smaller companies to provide such a solution internally.

This was why I set out to develop a solution that could be maintained by companies of all sizes and this should be the thought process for GitLab, in my opinion. If GitLab wants to work on solving the harder problems, it should understand what companies are spending internal resources on creating/maintaining and see if they can't make it available for the masses.

What you learn could lead to more intelligent code review solutions among other things. In a lot of ways, you are trying to capture somebodies skill set/knowledge, which isn't all that trivial.
Vagrant is a symptom of MacOS. Move to Linux, and you get native containers for free.
this looks interesting. I have been looking to replace ubuntu as my weapon of choice for servers for some time now. I am hesitant of the rolling release idea though. I like the idea that my servers remain in a specific state, but remain up to date with security patches, and don't like the idea of spending time fixing update issues. How is that handled in Void?
We're recreating the functionality of the "Vagrantfile" through Behave (python cucumber framework) scenarios calling down into the step definitions to provision things through libvirt.

It unifies both the development environment setup and the system integration testing setup/execution into the same set of tools. It's also helpful in setting up esoteric environments through QEMU like QNX on ARM during much of the testing before extending it to getting real hardware in the loop.

We also use the Ansible Python API to keep from having to re-implement a bunch of orchestration primitives from scratch.
Anyone still remember the video of a recycling machine Apple showed off at WWDC a few years back? Turns out it was all PR
I did most of my work for a couple of years on an expensive gaming rig found out by the dumpster. The RAM had been removed but everything else was still there (including a hard drive with a bunch of porn and virus).

Replaced the dirty drive, new RAM and it was far better than any machine I could justify buying at the time.
For me, the one thing that .NET has going for it is Visual Studio. Every time I've tried returning to Java, it is not the language but the dev environment that has me running away in horror.
I wear foam flip flops at a standing desk, for comfort. Don't know the name but they're cheap ones I've had for at least 15 years.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. @jacquesm, @komali2, @LanceH, I have made many typographical corrections and given you credit where due.
I think American Sign Language would probably be an okay choice, given the extra overhead of image and video processing, and the added requirement of line of sight possibly disrupting partial conversations. It would also force a strict interpretation of multiple channels, sight and sound, in case information gets dropped.

Anyway, recontextualizing existing languages often works well against adversarial humans, and probably would find some effectiveness against computers, since computers are rarely permitted to deviate from commonly understood norms, because when they do it is often an error.

Consider humor in foreign languages. Puns and punchlines often just disappear when you cross the language barrier. People wind up laughing at jokes that only a fluent speaker acclimated to local norms could ever understand, and you often find yourself reduced to elementary school conversations, unable to deal in the sophisticated sense of humor adults develop as part of culture. It takes a special person to immerse and bridge cultural divides like that.

Every single law or solution you can make up for this problem (and many other similar ones) has one big flaw. That is the people who make the rules will ensure their properties are excluded, and every single lawyer and accountant will then follow these same rules for their clients to ensure they are also excluded.

My native language is Mandarin. My interface langauge is English.

Being in a tech job, when resolving issues with interface with international user base, taking screenshots in english, for example, has the most far-reaching benefit. More people can understand it.

Also many companies (including Microsoft) have poor translations. Using English interface bypass this issue.

Very nice LOL here.
Same here.

I've wanted to be a lot of things growing up, but writer and programmer are really the only two that have stayed the course of time.

Here's some advice toward that: Don't combine your hobby and job like I did and build a writing app, I spend more of my free time now developing, debugging and adding features than I do writing.
The techempower Benchmarks are related to ASP.NET core, that one you can use on Desktop too.

The coreclr is only maybe 10-15% faster than Desktop, but not a magnitude or more compared to old ASP.net.

I don't think that the clr is slower than the jvm, but quite a few basic frameworks are compared to their Java counterparts

Even were it not a matter of privacy and principle, I should be avoiding most of Google for this kind of idiocy. On the rarer and rarer occasions when I am somehow forced into using their services, they invariably insist on force-feeding me my native language, however much I may be running a thoroughly English language computing environment, including an English language browser with a purely English Accept-Language setting.

Same went - until recently - for Play Store access in Android, and I believe it still does if I access the Play Store web interface, at least as far as comments are concerned.

Google is not the only offender, but by far the worst that I know of.

I have closed my account and do not know the answer. Also, please if someone would be able to confirm in the affirmative in this or any other Penson site, then please start a new round of responsible disclosure.
Honestly, the existence of Linux (and other open source software) is a miracle after seeing all the bullshit around copyright and licensing these days...
Interesting. Can I ask what field are you in now, and did that come after the souring of faith?
I perfectly know how to do that and I speak a language that isn't uncommon, but generally translations introduce minor/annoying bugs, like text overflowing textboxes etc., and the quality of the translation can be an issue too (spelling errors, technical terms translated in strange ways,...).

Also, the material found on the web for that software (help, tutorials, etc.) also come in English as well. Trivial example: in multiplayer games knowing the English name for items, locations etc. helps with communication with other players.

So I tend to set the interface to English even when it is auto-detected correctly.

What is this ad doing on HN?
If you read the old literature on how controversial it was at the time, those supporting the dam said it would increase the leisure use of the site, giving it a great lake to camp and fish at. They literally believed it would improve the natural surroundings.

Even modern say SF offices still use that line: "They were eager to show us how, they say, the reservoir actually enhanced the beauty of the valley,"

I didn't say it was the motivation of the project, just that it has been claimed and used to buttress other arguments.
Since having kids I've had to let games go. The last thing I played was skyrim when it came out. I miss them sometimes.

On the other hand there are more books on my to read list than I'll ever have time for in life. If I left my job and family and lived alone in a library for the rest of my life I might just manage it, but probably only if the rest of humanity stops writing more books I want to read
What about replacing only the software? Or will they claim it's illegal and you still don't own the hardware?
I doubt that's true. Birds probably live away from coal plants like humans.

Using Docker for Clojure and JavaScript development here. I actually don't have these issues. There is a performance loss, sure, but not nearly as much as you describe it.

I have quite the opposite experience.

1. In Taiwan and Japan, phones and pc comes correctly configured UI language for us. But I switch it to English anyway.

2. UI Language is usually not something people can just try to use and "get by". Languages are almost always immediately switched user's prefered one upon recieving product in my experience.
As the creator of Vagrant, I just wanted to say thank you for using the software. 5-6 years is no joke! I'm glad/hopeful that the project had a net positive impact for you during that time. :)

I won't attempt to hijack this thread or use it for personal motives to convince you to stick with it. I understand technologies change, requirements change, and choices change. The only thing I ask is if you can find the time to email me (mitchell@hashicorp.com) with your pain points so we can look to see how we can improve things in the future.

And the only other comment I'll make is that at HashiCorp we have full time staff on Vagrant and have continued to drill down issue counts through the year. So if you are a Vagrant user: fear not, it is something we continue to deeply care about.

Thank you!
Only when those apps haven't been pulled. Try and buy some of those apps from a fresh account. Not possible. One can literally not install GoodReader on an Ipad1 at this point.
Just FYI, I use the uBlock Origin extension for Chrome and I believe it solves all this for me.
This is pretty clever. That's a really nice write up too.

A middle solution here is in order. If you buy a John Deere tractor or Cisco router you should be allowed to do whatever you want with it if you remove all of that companies branding from it. Leaving their brand on it confers a promise of a certain level of standardization/reliability compromised by DIY repairs/mods.
I'm trying to be at least somewhat rational. A better way to respond, would be with data.

However, you talk about letting the market decide. But what your asking for is the opposite of letting the market decide. Apple have decided, that it's better for them to request the recyclers they work with shred the laptops.

So what's the alternative? Regulation that forces Apple to not shred laptops?

Thank you for putting this argument across so succinctly and with such good research behind it. Everytime I hear the arguments in favor of systemd, I wonder when these people actually come down from their ivory towers to do some real life work, where the rubber meets the road.

The argument of "lines of code" in a startup script is such a stupid strawman, it defies belief. I design and build large scale production system, and have exactly zero interest in the size (or complexity) of a startup script. I am interested in being secure in the knowledge that a control script handles all possible cases, including edge cases, that might present themselves during the forseeable lifecycle of the service/application in a predictable and understandable manner. If it takes a bit more time and work to understand these scripts, so be it - what are a few extra hours (which, incidentally, force you into a better understanding of the thing your working on - always a good thing) when seen across the timeline fo the service lifecycle?

systemd does a few cool things, and many blindingly retarded things. It is probably really nice to have on your laptop, what with the fast boot times and all, but many of the things touted as "advantages" really do not hold up for server work. What do I care if my boot time is a few seconds less on a server? rebooting a prod server is usually a scheduled event, with (depending on the context) can call for anywhere between a 30 to 120 minute maintenance window.

The systemd people should be made to work building and maintaining a real-life backend environment for a while.

Penson created the system that multiple brokers use for multiple branches.

Torrents (often just googling "[book name] pdf" works) and https://sci-hub.cc/ have largely solved that problem (certainly for a high schooler).
Okay, so if you're an architecture/design/materials nerd, this is a cute concept and it's probably not easy for you to get these specific materials at your local home depot.

However, If you have the time, I really recommend you build something like this yourself. It will probably be 10x cheaper. It is not difficult to build something generally like this, and this thing is so tiny it might not require any permit at all. The real fun of this is you could actually use traditional Japanese timber framing methods to build it. You could do more with it too, like make the false floor double as storage, build in a murphy bed that folds up to be a desk, add sliding panels to act as a privacy screen, and a flip-down storm shutter (with solar panels on top!!! let's go crazy) so you don't need to use glass doors. I would also replace that ugly interior plywood with pretty much anything else (even bamboo) with goza mats for carpet.

Also, like someone else mentioned, you don't need that whole porch. It could be extended forward up to the glass (or whatever), with a small cross-section of bamboo as a baseboard where the drop-off occurs, giving more of a natural flow from the inside to the out. The left-hand side could be reserved as the genkan for removing shoes, lowered to add to the aesthetic.

Personally I think this whole idea would have been better served with organic architecture features, rather than looking like a weird ikea shed moved to Japan.

I run all of my production services in simple *nix chroots. It's fairly simple to rsync these onto my dev machines to get the hi-fi local versions for testing. The only proviso is that you use similar environments, so in my case Ubuntu, for both production and development.

Couldn't they have proposed a neutral party that would store and manage all the books? Just like the Books Rights Registry was going to handle most of the money. I suppose that Google didn't expect all that backlash. And, now that I think about, that was out of the scope of the lawsuit as well...

Switzerland has 3 official languages and geoIP is not good enough to determine in which part of Switzerland you are. I always get pages in German despite being in the French-speaking part of Switzerland.

Even when traveling abroad I get the problem since mobile connections are now tunneled to your home country. In France, I get German pages!
Open source also comes with all sort of string attached. Licenses that either force you to share the code or restict it in certain applications, etc. It's not a free world (as in you downloaded it you do whatever you want with it).
JetBrains IDEA, Eclipse and NetBeans are all pretty good and comparable IDEs. Visual Studio has no unique selling point per se, if you are into C# its a very good choice eecially with the Resharper plugin (some of its features got cloned).

Oh, I didn't hear that one before - any more info?
Thanks for understanding. I was writing this up and wasn't sure anyone would really connect with the story or care about one line of code against a now non-existing broker. I'm so happy to hear this support.
I have been running English language interfaces for as long as I have owned computing devices, somewhat more than thirty years.

A lot of software gets poorly translated. And worse: A lot doesn't get translated, but relies partly on the interface language of the OS. You get horrors in the pattern of "Would you like to answer this question? Ja/Nej".

Windows up to and including 3.11 in my local flavour (Danish), I could deliberately crash from various selection boxes, because someone hadn't bothered to think the translation procecess through.
Eclipse is a lot better than it used to be but still has hallmarks of open source applications (confusing UI, giant feature pile). IntelliJ is great but it costs money for the full version. It's closer to a Visual Studio style experience.
The disruption is probably not in the form of traditional hardware. You'll have to attack a different problem that tractors or other heavy farm equipment solve.

For example, can you bioengineer bugs that keep plants safe, but eat weeds or pests? This is part of the tractor's job: chemical spray. Can you create a swarm of planters to efficiently distribute the seed? Can you do either of these or more with an open platform? Can you survive the onslaught of legal attack from the megaliths you're trying to topple?

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
Yes the app creator can pull an app or not allow older versions to be downloaded.

In my case, I came across my old iPad recently, reset it and was able to install Hulu, Netflix, Crackle, Google Drive, Plex, Spotify,and the CW app

Edit:

I was also able to download Apple's productivity apps -Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
Maybe in another 10 years. Good summarization is hard, especially over books with illustrations.
Signal is GPLv3 and readily available on Apples App Store. So no, you are mistaken.
Open source project plug!

How about considering a change in paradigm? Instead of trying to spin everything up locally you instead have a shared development environment and bridge to it from your local laptop or desktop. Consider a large microservices environment with twenty or hundreds of services and the need to develop not only against those services but ones your coworkers are working on as well. Telepresence (http://telepresence.io) allows you to develop locally on your laptop and expose a process locally that can talk to Kubernetes resources in a remote cluster and vice versa.

Look at the older techempower benchmarks where they include the regular .NET framework. It's slow as hell compared to java.

And yes that's the problem. The CLR itself probably isn't slower than JVM but most of the .NET stack is. It just wasn't written with performance in mind.
