Just don't host it on Github Pages.
already looking forward to the post-mortem on this one :)
Did you actually notice that BitBucket was down yesterday for several hours and still has huge issues?
Back when hurricane Sandy took out my employer's upstream Mercurial server for several days straight, I was pretty chuffed to be able to tell my boss, "You know how we migrated to a new source control system a couple months ago? Well, thanks to that, we can keep working pretty much uninterrupted. We should double check that XXX is getting frequent offsite backups, though."

My current company uses a self-hosted option, so this doesn't affect me. But I can't help but think that this time it's different, and we'd be hosed. The git part would still work without too much hassle, but we are heavily dependent on a bunch of additional things that GitHub offers, such as the pull request interface. That's slightly worrisome, I suppose.

All that said, I want to steer clear of knee-jerk assuming, "We don't have this problem b/c we self-host." There's a sickening sense of not really being in control of your own fate when a cloud provider goes down, but, realistically, I wouldn't be the person in charge of getting one of our self-hosted services back up, either. What really matters is % downtime. My experience has been that, compared to many in-house IT departments, folks like GitHub are generally very good at keeping the lights on.

Who says that that's what the end developers were tasked with creating? Maybe they were told they were creating security protocols in place for robberies. We shouldn't make assumptions on what the lowly developer knew or didn't know going into the project, but instead focus on the big wigs who 100% knew what this project was for.
Per my comment from a while ago, I think what they did was illegal. [1]

If they had simply kicked off users who were likely cops, that would have been legal. That’s what (some) biker bars do.

But they went beyond that and actively misled such users in a way that wasted their time. That amounts to lying to investigators and is illegal.

You can kick people out of your bar for giving off a cop vibe. You can’t keep them around and feed them fake intel on drug deals so they waste their time.

You can pull your shade down to keep people from looking in your window. You can’t make shadow puppets of a homicide with the intent to get the cop outside to investigate a spurious lead.

So the day github would really crash/lost some files, the package decency system thing is dead.
That is a very exciting scenario... as exiting as if google would forget to renew google.com and would have no legal right to get it back.

Kent Walker isn't your typical corporate lawyer. Kent Walker really does look forward to crushing his opponent in court. After Kent crushes this fool, he will probably host a company-wide Q&A where he will gloat over the bodies of his vanquished enemies.
Though in an alternate universe where somebody's self-hosted server went down in flames (possibly literally), one could just as easily say:

This is why it pays to have your own source repositories in the cloud. It is kind of shocking that many people with the awareness and means are too cheap to pay for a GitHub private repo. I personally could not risk a careless sysadmin deleting my repositories or (in this case) going down for any length of time.

The obvious answer is to have both, but smooth synchronization isn't always easy or even available.
I was under the impression that "Conservatives" were not a protected class, but then I found this as I was looking for a citation to back it up:

https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/california-employmen...

This includes "Political affiliations or activities", and other sources seem to back that up.

Google might be in trouble here.
Does anyone else see the irony in a political ideology that is against anti-discrimination provisions in law being suddenly running to the legal system when they feel discriminated against?
Eh, self hosting stuff is a hassle and I'd be willing to bet most people are more concerned about the time/reliability than the cost.

I use gh pages for the static parts of my own site even though I have a web server (which I use for quickly sharing files and whatnot) because GitHub is less likely to leave things broken than I am.
The problem with "eye for an eye" attitude is that everyone is blind in the end.
Isn't Gitlab at least as hip as Github?
If we're going to discuss it, I'd say let's all stick to facts we can cite and eliminate the charged or hyperbolic language (e.g., "bash").

> "diversity" has come to mean "bash white males"

I've heard many partisans against diversity say that, but it has not been something I've observed myself.

IMHO and IME, it's the reverse: Criticism of white men is limited because it will alienate and provoke too many powerful people (white men having an large bmajority of power). Racism and sexism are very widespread and overwhelming, but many white guys are somehow not very aware of it. Look at what's been happening with women right under everyone's noses for all this time, and the #metoo movement is just bringing it to light; women are just now criticizing these men. There should have been more criticism for many years.
It doesn't matter if he is wrong or right. What matters is that Google does not practice "freedom of speech". He did not call to a violent action, he just expressed his opinion.
Interesting article, and good analogy. I've recently gone to making the comparison to physical systems. A physical interconnect can only connect so many things (think your steering column in the car) due to the laws of physics (there's only so much physical space). Software allows us to act without this constraint, each object is a point and can be connected to and connect to an arbitrary number of other objects directly. This potential complexity must be actively fought against in order to keep the system maintainable and comprehensible.

I actually thought this was going to go in another direction. When the proof for the four color theorem was published there was a good deal of controversy about it. It had not been fully verified by a person, the bulk of it was generated by computers. The method of generating the elements of the proof was vetted, but not the final output. This has some relation to the issues we have now with machine learning and systems being built based on the generated models that we don't fully understand. It also relates to more complex chain of compilation systems we use these days where each layer of translation introduces the potential for subtle errors or malicious action.
Or GitLab. That's free and easy to self host.
I disagree. I think the left has been on a killer run of cultural victories (as opposed to political and economic) in recent years . In my view, this lawsuit in particular is a "heads I win, tails you lose" for the left.

Labor protections are a major plank of the left and should Damore win it would further help enshrine those labor protections in tort and give the left firepower to say "Look, these laws protect conservatives too! Just look at Damore!" The right, historically, prefers an environment where employment is fully at-will and at the discretion of the employer: this lawsuit undercuts that view. I think some see this as the left being "hoisted by one's own petard" but it's not like liberals are going to turn around and abandon labor rights as a reaction to Damore... quite the contrary.

I see Damore's lawsuit as a byproduct of the diminished political conviction of the contemporary right. As a self-described classical liberal, Damore should, in theory, treat his employment as at-will as that is consistent with his stated political ideology. This is in large part why the left continues to win, and why the right acts more and more like the left: When faced with adversity, the right adopts left-wing views to score modest Pyrrhic victories, thus normalizing left-wing views.

The one area where the right isn't doing this stuff is abortion: an area where the right seems to be gaining ground. Women's access to abortion has been declining (unfortunately, IMO) in many states.

I wish Mr. Damore the best of luck in his endeavours. Employment discrimination lawsuits are really difficult to win in court, even if it seems "open and shut" to a layperson. Complicating matters, it looks like Google's lawyers are raring for a fight... many businesses just settle even if they feel they'll be cleared in court.
> choosing to avoid adding people to your team who have expressed opinions that make the workplace hostile to other employees -- which appears to have been the intention of the managers in question

The complaint alleges multiple instances of Google managers declaring that they would exert significant effort to avoid adding white heterosexual men to their teams, and subsequently threatening retaliation against anyone who questioned this effort. The alleged behavior goes far, far beyond avoiding people who have contributed to a hostile workplace -- unless one defines all straight white men as inherently hostile to the workplace.
It's also the issue with git, if it goes down and you don't update your local clones ~daily (or as other mentioned don't have system in place that would allow you to update somewhat locally).
Great link, thanks! I've been looking for something like this.
Legal in this context only means "The government gave themselves permission." It does not mean ethical, or right, or whatever. And with many police in many jurisdictions acting unethically (like stealing cash from motorists, bribery, blatant criminal conduct, and USA DHS duplicating phones/data), yes, you do have to take matters in your own hands.

Now, if they're found guilty, I have no problem "executing" the corporate charter as a death sentence. Just laws need to have teeth, and no piddly $10M fine is a deterrent.

I thougut this article was going to be about Appel and Haken's proof of the Four Color Theorem, as it was the first to use software and not an actual analytical proof. As a result mathematicians were split: while this proof may have shown the theorem was true, it didn't explain why it was true. Because the latter was reduced to a brute force search.

Actually, there is a vast surplus of MBA's.

An MBA largely has value because it acts like a cult promoting the networking between MBA's. It's arguably a great hack to extract value from organizations as opposed to customers.

"I don’t view it as hypocrisy to judge people by their personal qualities, rather than their background and appearance" nether does James Damore this was largely excatly the point Damore was trying to get across in his memo. I strongly encourage anyone who had not had the chance to read the full memo. I don't agree with all the analysis that is contained in it but the deliberate misrepresentations of what he said and the "logic" of what is contained in this article are far more damaging to our society then anything contained within the memo.

I agree. The gun commentary triggered my skepticism, but this is what really pushed me over the edge:

> And US teenagers are twice as likely to die in car accidents than their peers abroad.

As of 2013, the average driver in the UK drove 7,900 miles[1]. The average driver in the US drives 16,550 miles[2].

It should be no surprise that people who drive twice as much die twice as often while driving.

As for guns - I'm interested in figuring out what the actual per capita and absolute numbers are, but don't have time to dig that up at the moment; I know from experience that it's very difficult to find and verify information about "gun deaths" in the US. In the past I've found that anti-gun groups have lumped in people as old as 24 as "children", while pro-gun groups have excluded justifiable homicides including those occurring during law enforcement activities. I may come back to this, if anyone is interested and I have the time.

Google was not like this before, it started changing to 100% PC after Eric Schmidt was demoted from CEO position by Larry. I would be much more interested in what Sergey would have done as CEO, as he was always much more open, interesting and fun person.

Where I grew up, yes that is a crime, at least in the sense it's something to be ticketed for, they're not going to haul you to jail.
I think you can reasonably substitute "developer" for "person" and the grandparent's point still stands.
What I'd like to know is if lucid dreaming attains the same quality of rest as normal dreaming. I doubt long-term effects of lucid dreaming have been studied.
do you think apple is motivated out of the goodness of its collective heart?
I have it the other way around. I use gitlab with github as backup.
most of this sounds like good practice for any company that stores large amounts of sensitive data.

perhaps the features were used inappropriately, but I would hope Uber can remote wipe a laptop, log users out of company systems, or centrally enforce encryption policies.

this line is just silly.

--"Later versions of Ripley gave Uber the ability to selectively provide information to government agencies that searched the company’s foreign offices. At the direction of company lawyers, security engineers could select which information to share with officials who had warrants to access Uber’s systems, the people say"

What is the alternative? Giving law enforcement access to all data without any discretion? Querying ride data for 1 person is technically "selectively provide information", but that seems perfectly acceptable.

This wasn't a PSA, it was "first to post grabs the karma".
Apple protects its profits. Encryption that enables privacy protections for consumers also stops cops investigating crime.

Apple is not your friend and does not have your best interest at heart. It is a company like Facebook, Microsoft, Ford, Boeing... They all just want the money. If making hard to break encryption sells more units, then that is the only motivation.
Most of my dreams aren't lucid, but I've had a few lucid dreams, so I can compare.

Typically in my dreams it feels like normal life, except that for some reason I'm gullible to dream logic. If something strange happens and I try to make sense of it, a bad explanation--one that I wouldn't accept in real life--will perfectly satisfy my dreaming brain.

However, occasionally dream logic totally breaks down and I realize it's a dream. In that instant I gain full control. But it doesn't take long before the control slips away, forgetting the revelation that happened moments ago.

What about you? Are all of your dreams always lucid?
If you think about it, there's no particular reasons why the metadata can't live in (and be tracked by) the repo itself.

Issues could live in /issues. Simple command-line (or GUI) tools could edit them. I'm thinking in particular of how password-store[0] makes tracking history in a git repo invisible: it Just Works™.

Discussions could live in /discussions, stored in something like RFC822 format. Again, simple CLI (or GUI, if you swing that way) tools could manipulate this easily.

A wiki can, again, live in the same repo.

PRs are a little different, since they really do need to live outside the repo. But what is a PR other than someone saying, 'hey, please pull my branch into yours'?

BitBucket was down most of yesterday
People name internal programs badly all the time. That shouldn't be an instant "they're unethical" flag. Furthermore, the developers working on these projects could have easily been told they were building something completely different than how it was used. We shouldn't make assumptions about the developer when there are people that we know knew what was going on.

And is the last line necessary?
It exist! Not a whitepaper, but at least a Medium article: https://medium.com/@alexberegszaszi/mango-git-completely-dec.... Ethereum + IPFS/Swarm as backend for Git.

Not a Bitbucket user, but this surprises me given the seemingly constant downtime issues that plagued Hipchat when I used it on a regular basis, but maybe it was just isolated to that one product.
Blockchain is so 2017--block lattice is the future.
SIA coin is a similar concept. They even have video hosting/streaming on their development roadmap.

> The lawyer is a woman, born in India. She should be very vocal against Damore, right?

No, you can't predict a person's opinions by their ethnicity and gender. Nicky Haley is an Indian-American woman, and is a leading GOP politician and supporter of President Trump. Clarence Thomas is an African-American male, and possibly the most partisan conservative on the Supreme Court.
I don't think there is any different value to that of Bitcoin. However I think they provide a service (money transmitting) better than existing competitors.

I also think that altcoins don't compete with Bitcoin because Bitcoin is unable to saturate the market.
Again, the GitHub is down for 5 minutes and everyone rushes the "who will post first on HN" thing.

The "right" isn't any more or less "reasoned" than the left. You can make arguments either way.

Also, this idea that finance is a cult of old stodgy conservatives is hilarious and patently untrue. Finance folks are usually comprised of wealthy and well-educated people living in major urban areas, particularly NYC, inline with the demographics of coastal liberals. Most are some form of libertarian, and generally progressive on most social issues. Blankfein (CEO of Goldman Sachs) is a registered Democrat, Jamie Dimon (CEO of JP Morgan) is a democrat, James Gorman (CEO of Morgan Stanley) regulrarly gives money to democrats and contributed to Hillary Clinton (1), as does Michael Corbat, the CEO of Citigroup.

By sharing black lists of employees with 'wrong' political opinions. This I consider a sacrifice of reason.

To broaden the discussion a bit, I think that generally there is a trend of the 'progressive-left' censoring things they don't agree on.
It's one of them irregular verbs, innit. I liberate, you intervene, he/she/it invades.
I do both. When I dream lucid I'm aware of it being a dream and can think and choose. When I don't dream lucid, I'm not aware and instead of choices I have reactions to what is happening. I wouldn't consider it being on rails, rather you act without thinking or having a long internal monologue about it.
I would have to search for that, but limiting your total cumulative dose makes sense in light of research showing adverse brain changes in longtime and/or heavy users.

The 6 weeks number is more a rule of thumb. For some it's longer, for others shorter. In the beginning, it may not matter, but if you browse drug forums for a while, you'll see the pattern 'don't do it too often' emerge.

6 times over a 5 year period looks quite safe. I have some friends who have used MDMA more than that and some of them started to have longer 'sad' or 'depressed' periods, sometimes stretching into months. Again, it would be great if there was an authoritative manual for all of this, but I don't think something like that exists.

As well as being higher pitched, contra-rotating designs also produce more noise.

The sound field is non-uniform (mostly axial), and there are claims of being able to reduce it through special phasing of the two rotors, using different numbers of blades on each, etc. But I wouldn't be particularly hopeful.
Right, that's the scary part. A double edged sword.
> And yet Apple regularly receives praise here for thwarting law enforcement.

That wasn't my takeaway from the Apple/FBI interactions.

They said pretty plainly: "We'll help however we can, but even we can't get into our customers data. We're also not going to break that so that anyone, including you, are able to."

Isn't that a big difference?
