Gaug.es - Turns out Github sold it long ago.
It just benefits large companies, not small ones. Now Microsoft is able to slam a deal with Github in the offer (which every company is using) to sell Azure. Brilliant!
Yet they have numerous defenders on this site, all the more peculiar considering those companies' collusion to avoid paying market rates to developers. The preference to be a sharecropper on their plantations is evidently strong, for no very clear reason.

And let us not forget the EU's efforts to support incumbents and deter new entrants, with their complex, vague and punitive regulations. These also receive much approval here; perhaps a fruitful field for study by some enterprising psychologists!
I guess it's a great example of why taking funding can be bad, depending on what your goals are.

Slide 12:

> GitHub will retain its developer-first ethos, operate independently and remain an open platform

> Nat Friedman will become the CEO of GitHub

As far as acquisition news goes, this is pretty good news. I think the one thing I was hoping for was autonomous operation from GitHub, and we're getting that. Nat created Xamarin & by extension a large swathe of the Mono project -- which means that his heart is certainly aligned in the right spot. He sounds like an excellent CEO grab, and it wouldn't surprise me if this is more of the deal than it's being portrayed as. GitHub has needed a CEO for a while, and Nat at the helm is a great person for that.

I'm optimistic that, as long as GitHub remains an independent business unit (ala Heroku at Salesforce), then it'll actually be a good thing. Let's hope it stays that way.

If you're talking about a major distro upgrade, say Jessie (8) to Stretch (9) in the Debian case, then yes, there's a fairly good chance at least some minor things will break, but that's a much bigger deal and presumably not something you'd ever expect to happen automatically.

To be clear, I was talking specifically about the unattended-upgrades package, which is primarily for automatic installation of things like security fixes. In my experience, this has been rock solid: it's never broken a distro package, nor any dependency that non-distro software we had installed was relying on.
Andreessen Horowitz – Microsoft Buys GitHub for $7.5B
I agree but I don't know a better shorthand to describe the phenomenon.
Why not let things play out a little before predicting chaos? Github doesn't have the vendor lock-in that other companies have. It starts to go downhill? Just push your repo to another Git host. Yes, you'll need to figure out how to port some of your workflows, but it won't be an insurmountable pain.
GitHub might be closed source, but it doesn't matter that much in practice. The code is not where most of its value is. The value is mostly in large community of users and reliable infrastructure.

Also, for me, GitLab's heavy reliance on JavaScript disqualifies it as a serious competitor to GitHub.

I have to admit I actually swapped the K3 for an -hm- B3, I believe - the all-matte one with a circle to show the coverage of the center-weighted meter - I found the split prism was more of a distraction than an aid _for my eyes_; I realize I am the odd man out on this one.

That definitely wasn't the only alternative.

It isn't a good marketing campaign. This is just going to scare a ton of projects off of GitHub. I also imagine a ton of private companies (e.g. Google, Apple) are going to be moving their repos elsewhere if they are already hosted on GitHub for fear of Microsoft looking at their private code, which they WILL do.
Here's github's blog post on the subject:

https://blog.github.com/2018-06-04-github-microsoft/
Yup, Microsoft bought Github for 7.5B to shoot Atom into the sun.
Look at the reasons that people are dying. It's been blamed on things like the opioid crisis but the numbers in no way support such 'hypothesis', which don't even really qualify as such.

Cardiovascular disease, heart failure, stroke, diabetic complications, etc are where the big increases are coming from. And nearly all the major causes of death that are increasing are strongly linked with obesity, which is skyrocketing out of control. This is what I was alluding to early when suggesting that this change is, in turn, blamed on lethargic lifestyles, the internet, etc yet such changes are also happening in other nations yet they are not experiencing such radical shifts in lack of healthfulness.

Time to migrate off Github, folks. Microsoft has a long, long history of destroying every company they acquire. For the latest example, see how Skype is being run into the ground. There is a prevailing state of mind at Microsoft that if they own something they should be able to do anything with it. And so they will. It's only a matter of time until Microsoft starts putting their proprietary crap into Github to make it better integrate with their enterprise offerings. Free users will be neglected and things will get broken for them. For any respected open source project, it's irresponsible to depend on Github at this point. The sooner you get off it the fewer problems you'll have later.

I feel like that part at the end is very misleading. GET and POST with simple headers are still subject to CORS. The distinction between a form submit and an ajax request is that you are reading the response from javascript. Same origin policy only kicks in when you attempt to read a response from JavaScript. It's why Fetch API has a 'no-cors' mode where you can make cross-origin requests willy nilly so long as you don't attempt to read the response values. The idea is prevent "secret" background requests being sent by malicious sites. Form submits are handled by the browser and will incur a page refresh.
Sure, Fox is a huge fear monger, but the local news is too. "If it bleeds, it leads," is a common phrase to describe what stations use to determine what to present.

I am much more unhappy about the quality of their operating system. They had decades to turn it into a user friendly simple system like macos is, and failed every single time. It is outrageous that I have to delete half of the operating system to get something barely useable and the first thing when you run windows update is to put back the games and other crapware that I do not need on my devices. Is there any hope that Windows UX gets once something good or should I just give up hoping?
> Our shared values around empowering developers across the globe made this a natural fit.

Please. Do you have to start spouting corporate bs right away? I'm happy you guys got your payday but Microsoft and GitHub 'shared values' are so far from each other that I sincerely hope you won't end up regretting this deal in the longer term.
"We applaud GitHub on its accomplishments and congratulate Microsoft on its acquisition. While we admire what's been done, our strategy differs in two key areas. First, instead of integrating multiple tools together, we believe a single application, built from the ground up to support the entire DevOps lifecycle is a better experience leading to a faster cycle time."

7 Best Practices for Winning in Today’s Sharing Model
I have a major question about self hosted software like GitLab.

As many of you know, I am a huge proponent of open source and the collaboration economy.

I have put my money where my mouth is by reinvesting over half a million dollars from our startup company’s revenues into building the open source Qbix Platform, in the hopes of leading a revolution in all SAAS software, including the stuff where you need profiles, permissions, collaboration, notifications, realtime and social features on top of whatever you’re doing (git, editing a document, planning a trip).

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ1O_gmPneI

Having built v1.0 recently, we began making backwards compatible changes to eventually turn the Federated model (communities = landlords) into a permissionless, end to end encrypted and secure model for everyone. It may take us another year:

https://qbix.com/blog

We are even making our own browser because the current browsers don’t have all the features we need to pioneer the whole vision:

https://projects.invisionapp.com/m/share/TKHYMVSJNW2

BUT here is the question I have. What is the best way to UPDATE the software on the back end?

We want this thing to be secure. Discourse, Wordpress et al tell you about updates. That’s fine but how do you actually install them? By entering a password into a web interface you can get the web server user to replace all the core files of the installation? Isn’t that a vector for serious attacks?

All the attacker has to do is somehow get your password or password hash, and it’s game over. They can send the right request to do arbitrary code execution.

On the other hand, if a developer signs the new payload, this may mitigate things. It is what app stores do.

Still, how do back ends get upgraded in self hosted open source software? In SAAS you just don’t worry about it. This is one area where we could use some professional consulting :)

I have this one static page that uses their API to list all pipelines across all projects. Like 50 API calls at once. It's usually terribly slow (1-2 mins to finish, sometimes more).

Plenty of people in Microsoft use open-source tech running on Apple hardware. It's not rare or unexpected anymore in this current decade.
People get confused because it's two requests, first the options one, then the normal one. Their web frameworks are largely built on single connection handling, but because CORS isn't used by many people it's often a tacked on afterthought. For example, in Rails they briefly made it impossible to manually handle Options requests (something that I fixed).

Then there is the core weirdness of subdomains and security headers in general. Most developers don't really care about security. They'll do what they're told and like to do a good job overall, but deep down they don't enjoy spending time thinking about how to pwn the app they're building. They just want someone to use what they've built and love it.
RHAT is about making money too. They do a good job of it.

Unlike Microsoft, however, they can't seem to make GUIs where the font metrics are right (eg. can you read the text properly or does the text overlap or end up being too big or too small for the space?) or scrollbars.

Linux is a winner for server apps but on the desktop it seems to get worse over time, not better.
We can assume Microsoft's motivation is money, they have a long history of selling professional solutions to development teams, I'm a developer with a team on GitHub in need of solutions, and I have money. It's Microsoft's to lose.

I think you're mistaking your blind hate for my blind hype

Apple needs to figure out what Pro means in each of their computer product categories: tablets, laptops and desktops. These "pros" are developers, physicians, fashion designers, graphics artists, musicians, photographers, videographers, et al. - do they even know how these pros use these products? Their needs and expectations? There's a lot of money to be made chasing the consumer but ultimately it's that consumer envisioning themselves as a pro or becoming a prosumer that's going to really drive your sales.

What is CNCF?

CNCF is an open source software foundation dedicated to making cloud native computing universal and sustainable. Cloud native computing uses an open source software stack to deploy applications as microservices, packaging each part into its own container, and dynamically orchestrating those containers to optimize resource utilization. Cloud native technologies enable software developers to build great products faster.
What I didn't see in the comments is that CarMax has probably the best selection of vehicles in a given area.

To those who know exactly what they want, it doesn't matter as much, but for those who want to compare a RAV4 to a CR-V from the same lot, it's unbeatable.

That said, the recently reported glut in used cars probably negates some of CarMax's advantage. I bought my last car from a curbside dealer.
I get 45mpg, and I typically put 11-12 gallons in at fill. My commute to work is 23 miles each way, so a Leaf would have to be charged every day (newer Leafs would last longer).

If I got a 200-300 mile range I'd set the battery charge to max life and charge daily, which I understand is the way to have the battery last the longest.
The Surface RT was discontinued in 2015, and was manufactured in 2012. Is this an six year old anecdote?

Their "endgame" was six years ago and hasn't come back since..?
It's not totally ridiculous though. Patent valuation is a bit of a black art at the best of times. And on top of that, a new opinion from the Supreme Court or the Federal Circuit could instantly cause wild swings in value. There's no simple way to account for that.

The thing is, above certain age it would be very easy to get kids into a challenge and make them to wait. Not to mention that marshmallow may not be a treat for anyone.
That might have been true in certain cases, but the article makes it clear there were other situations:

>Facebook acknowledged that some partners did store users’ data — including friends’ data — on their own servers. A Facebook official said that regardless of where the data was kept, it was governed by strict agreements between the companies.

Furthermore, why would they be putting an end to all these "partnerships" if they were "fundamentally necessary for the app"? Manufacturers can turn to the normal api that any other app dev uses.
Nadella has worked at MS long enough to have been there when the company was all-in on SCO vs Linux.

He's been there since 1992. That means that if he was so ethically challenged that he could sit through that without piping up that I have very little hope that there is a real and sincere change happening. Most of what I see is just very clever PR whilst under the hood not much has changed.

They just got a lot smarter about keeping their nastiness out of the public light. The reason why the 'trope' gets trotted out is because this could very well be the part where Microsoft finally gets to 'embrace' the open source world where they can hurt it for real. Keep in mind that nothing comes close to threatening Microsoft at its core business as open source software does.
