I try dozen of tools for a cross-platform app and finally settle on use vue.

Every time I use node and look at his insanity and get depressed.

So, I dislike STRONGLY the use of Webpack and friends. Is a chore because JS is even more nuts now, and everything assume you want node nonsense everywhere.

So, I persist and do this:

I introduce:

Using local .js/.css files downloaded from a cdn, then using cat to concat in the correct order all the deps, and finally let to build your css/js as you please for your logic.

Build time is zero after the first try.

P.D: Maybe using unix pipes I could minimify and stuff like that, but I don't need that.
I just moved here and it seems like it lacks a tenth of the soul Los Angeles has, which would make sense if we priced out everyone that brought soul to the city. The food isn't nearly as good. The music scene isn't half as good. Traffic is nearly as shitty as LA. The LGBTQ community seems to have largely been priced out. You can't find affordable housing near where all the action is happening whereas studio apartments in Hollywood can easily be found for ~$1k. A significant number of people are pretending to be other people without a very good understanding of the people they are pretending to be (it's as if aliens came to the Bay and tried to impersonate the one dimensional people they see on TV) (at least in LA when people are fake, their archetype is someone they've met and their impersonation is a lot closer to the reference material).

The only thing that might be better is: you're a hell of a lot closer to nature and it's a lot safer (I wouldn't be comfortable walking around LA past 1AM).

Ive lived in Tijuana (Mexico), near Juarez (Mexico), near Bern (Switzerland), 29 Palms (California), and Los Angeles and traveled all over western Europe and I have yet to find a place as homogenously boring and fake as the Bay Area. With the exception of Juarez I'd choose any of those places over the Bay.

I don't mean to be insulting (I'm really just upset at myself for moving to such an over priced boring place) but saying you're the only one in tech that likes living in San Francisco is like complaining that you are the only one who enjoys Mcdonalds; it's for good reason.
While I understand, and kinda agree, the idea that Volunteer only projects are not susceptible longer term and your implication that commercial products are more sustainable over a long term is provably false

Many many many many many commercial software projects, that people paid money for, are killed every single year.. Many other volunteer only projects last for decades, some of which have been critical to the very foundation of the web.

So no "if you are not paying for you should see it as a temporary shortcut" is a completely false statement
I'm glad to see Fossil mentioned here. Yet the real problem is not in the technical aspects and possibilities of project hosting migration, it's the dependence of the majority of open-source developers on GitHub's centralized social network.
For some reason that reminds me of Pascals interface/implementation split...

For those not in the know Pascal units had to declare the function (procedure) prototypes before implementing them.
> MacBook Pros throttle even on "docks". They can't magically dissipate more heat when stationary on a desk.

Given how frequently I catch my Macbook Pro leaving the fan at 0rpm even when the CPU is 180F, I suspect they're capable of getting rid of a lot more heat than they're permitted to at the moment.

Even forcing the fan to stay on with 3rd party tools just makes it bounce back and forth, once the CPU is no longer hot enough to burn your lap the fan completely turns off again and the cycle repeats.

I'd love to know why Apple thought it was a good idea to throttle and retain a ton of heat instead of turning the fan on, the end result is that the laptop is both hot and slow at the worst possible times.
That is after you include stock.

Not a bad deal today, but I'm still questioning if 1 trillion dollar companies exist or are overvalued.
So it's getting less popular over time (assuming the ranking is accurate)? That's not very felicitous.
I wonder now that Microsoft controls LinkedIn and Github what kind of synergies can form between the two to better serve recruiters looking for software developers.
Read-up on MS's ongoing Linux patent racket and you might change your tune.
One only needs to translate all that Latin to figure out most of it means a form of dance.

Classical music was pop for it's time. People danced, drank, and even had massive riots when a controversial composer came to town.
> Maybe when Ballmer is dead and buried.

That is totally uncalled for.
We've taken the steroids out of the title above.
I’m wondering if it’s a generational thing to some extent.

I’m very wary of Microsoft because their bad behaviour was front and center while I was learning about computers. I remember the lawsuits and the backhanders and the FUD and the Embrace, Extend, Extinguish philosophy.

But modern Microsoft is better behaved to some extent. There are still lots of concerns, but I could easily imagine that someone a little younger than me might have missed the controversy and think of Microsoft in much the same way others might think of Apple or Google.
Of course, it's a dump.
I never even held a gun, but, is the lack of recoil not obvious?
Good criteria. I’ve been trying to migrate away from proprietary platforms, and so far I’ve settled on Sandstorm.io using Permanote for note-taking, although it’s pretty barebones. Does Nextcloud have a better notes app?

Any other recommendations for fully open source Notes solutions?
He created it to be “stra-tee-ka-ry” (after George W. Bush’s infamous ‘stragegery’) but no one ever pronounced it right. Over time, he admitted that “stra-tech-uh-ry” was better anyway because the site covers technology.
Bubble.is - I can code all the languages needed to code my own site but Bubble made my latest project (sigparser.com) way quicker to develop than if I had tried to use one of the existing frameworks. If it was a really large project Bubble might not be what I use but for something smallish needing users and calling some APIs it was great.

I wrote this about my experience.

Is someone doing this for the entire website?

Give it 7-10 years before it is riddled with advertisements or has a subscription fee for 'premium' downloads.
I trust Microsoft more than I trust Google these days. I don't remember when that transition happened in my mind, but Microsoft has been actively working at being better, while it seems Google has been actively working at being worse.
Two big ethical problems that can be hard to prevent and address if they happen in business in my experience are:

- Unethical person is critical to survival of company. Do you fire them or not? (and it's clear they won't change).

- Big company doing gray area things (say, anti-competitive policies or attitudes) where most or all individuals are acting ethically. Are there any viable options other than full on whistle-blow or silence? (that actually work?).
>>Eh? It’s literally three shell commands to install GitLab

It was not always that way, they have made huge improvements on the install path over the last couple of years.
Lots of people use RLS, and AFAIK that's created by folks working at mozilla, though no doubt now it's mostly a community effort.
You can set whatever address you want in your commit, it doesn't have to match the one in your account.
It doesn't matter how much the city or its taxpayers care, it's a cultural problem. These people have embraced transient and drug-addled lifestyles, there is nothing to "fix."

They won't magically become respectable and self-sufficient individuals if you provide them with unlimited quantities of accommodations, they simply don't care. It's a cultural problem where they're not compatible with their host population.

They want to live in squalor and drift from day to day higher than a kite.

There is definitely value in having a mirror that is always live and updating.
How is this news? Yesterday’s immigrants make life tough for future immigrants. Likewise, yeaterday’s startups make it hard for new startups. It’s a circle of life. Evolution at play. Capitalism at play.
Marx is relevant? Socialist intellectuals have been moving the goalposts for decades, after failure upon failure to achieve their stated goals.

http://www.stephenhicks.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/hicks...

To put it bluntly, Marxism has failed dismally in every place and at every time it's been tried.
> Embrace, Extend, Extinguish

Hmmm... Windows Subsystem for Linux... the 1998 Microsoft-vs-Linux report... hmmmm.

While I'm currently picturing a pacman trying to eat a dot a bit bigger than it expected, I do wonder what kind of hilarity Microsoft have planned for, presumably, 5-10 years from now (I'd presume they're in the Embrace/Extend period if my conspiracy theory is right).

[Small edit: currently at -1; interesting | Edit 2: Now at -4! Anybody care to actually comment? I'm interested in why people disagree!]
Fostering a Web Performance Culture
It sounds like an ocarina to me. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DHecFcDhbw
It's a concept from the book "Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution"

> Access to computers—and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works—should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-On Imperative!

Hacker News is a prime example of the Hacker Ethic. Wrapping Hacker News and putting ads on it is the opposite.

Building useful software and selling it is fine, but following the Hacker Ethic would mean improving open source libraries that you consume or maybe open sourcing components of your software.

Microsoft has been a prime example lately - developing .NET and many other libraries in the open these days. They are still making plenty of money but are also winning the approval of developers who like open source.
I still use Wunderlist and probably will until they forcefully shut it down. Tried the ToDo app, and I don't get why they basically tried to rewrite Wunderlist. The ToDo app was so buggy and crashed all the time not to mention it's lack of features. Hopefully Microsoft learns from this mistake of trying to do a crappy useless rewrite.
That is a shame because it looks like Medi-Cal covers mental health services as well.
Please don't take HN threads on generic ideological tangents. The parent dipped a toe in that tarpit, but that's no reason to jump in.

John McAfee Releasing a Physical Cryptocurrency
What? That has been know for a long time? How is that news?

This has been changed because of the change in the contract with NASA. NASA no longer wanted to have propulsive landing and SpaceX prefer to focus on the BFR. This made space tourism less valuable and also lead to the choice not to human rate the Falcon Heavy. The same reason that Red Dragon was cancelled.

SpaceX simply shifted all its focus on the BFR. That's their long term goal and other things are a distraction.
I don't see how it relates to Github but sure, link me to someplace I can read up on it because a Google search of "Microsoft Linux patent racket" only led me to an obvious troll bait blog.
> relies on selling those investments for a profit.

There are more ways to make money than selling out
Except now they have billion dollar data centers they need your servers on and don't care if you use their software as long as they turn a profit from the hosting. Bill G is probably kicking himself for not renting servers decades ago.
This seems a little off-kilter. If you're that concerned, set a dummy email address in your "~/.gitconfig", or your project-specific ".git/config". I mean, I could just clone the repository if I wanted, and if I wanted to scrape it I could certainly do that too.

You can have multiple addresses associated with your GitLab as well, so you can add the dummy one to make sure your profile metadata still shows up.
While true, I find that data lacking. Unfortunately, those statistics aren't broken down by area.

No, most Californians cannot really afford to live in San Francisco Bay Area. And most Illinois residents can't afford to buy a place in Chicago. And most New York residents can't afford to buy a place in New York City.

This likely extends to other states too... Arizona has a per capita income of $20k and Phoenix rent is about $1000 for an apartment. So, nope, average person in Arizona can't stay in Phoenix. Missouri is right after arizona and also at $20k per capita... and rentals in Saint Louis aren't that much less.

https://www.fatherly.com/news/map-average-cost-house-each-st... suffers the same problem - statewide data.
Going from http://harvard-cga.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapSeries/index.html... ( http://www.jchs.harvard.edu/ARH_2017_cost_burdens_by_metro - data by metro) there are very few areas where the there isn't a cost burden (renter spending more than 30% on rental).

San Francisco is at 45.6%. San Jose is 46.3%. That puts San Francisco at #317 when sorted by cost burden percent. San Hose is at #281. That's a long way from Iowa City (62.1%) at #5 (#2 in the list for severely burdened renter share at 43.0% meaning 43% of the rentals spend more than 50% of their income on the rental). For that matter, Redding is at 61.1% (#9) and Fresno is at 47.5% (#24).

This isn't a uniquely bay area problem... and the bay area is in much better shape than Flint Michigan (#66) at 53.6%.
We're currently rescaling the monitoring box to accommodate for all the extra traffic. We ran out of RAM which caused prometheus to crash.
That hasn't been a thing in a long ass time
Creating Success, Together
People base their expectations on past performance. And for MS it hasn’t been stellar. But there is no need for speculation; we will wait and see.

The problem is deeper than that though. Unless you were developing an Editor or a Git hosting service, you were not in direct competition with GitHub. Suddenly a lot of startups will find their private code hosted by a direct competitor. I wouldn’t feel comfortable if I was them.
CarMax was originally created under Circuit City? I had no idea! Interesting that they were able to succeed when CC crashed so hard.

Today I also learned, via wikipedia, that Circuit City is attempting a comeback.
Vitamin D is still going strong, recent studies about the benefits to every thing from fetal babies to lower belly fat to reducing mental illness.
Decentralization is a wonderful idea. It brings with it benefits that are technical, architectural, and social. Yet is also carries with it its own set of costs and risks.

Bluntly, I doubt this will shock the world of software development into being less centralized. The practical benefits of centralization are, apparently, too large to be readily overcome.
Master DASH at GWU
This, at least, is honest rather than conflated science. We're all much better off discussing policy based on facts rather than distorting facts.

This way we can actually discussing the balance of helping offspring vs social immobility rather than endlessly debunking un-facts.
> But if you use an @gmail.com email address and Google decides to ban you, you're screwed.

You can loose control of your domain too. And if someone else snatches it up they could even read your newly incoming email. I'm willing to bet when gmail bans an account, they don't recycle it.
How a Hacker Proved Cops Used a Stingray to Find Him

ANY VIDEO CONVERTER ULTIMATE 6.2.4 FULL CRACK WITH LICENSE KEY [LATEST]
If you do not see things getting better in less than a year and you cannot mentally stand being there it is better to get out early and find some bigger golden handcuffs. If you are a great engineer there is a ton of money waiting for you at other companies, especially the closer to Silicon Valley you get.

If you stay just for the money, you will mentally and technology wise suffer in the long term as you loose your drive, motivation and willingness to keep improving your skills and capabilities in software engineering. You will soon find yourself not caring about the work at all (hard to get out of bed and go to work), will not find much to talk about with coworkers (conversations will get shorter and have less content, just smaller and smaller small talk) and worse you will no longer be getting anything out of being there, barely contribute and your growth as an engineer will stop.

One thing many people do not think about when just working for the golden parachute is how not being engaged, growing and having fun affects your overall mental health. Your mental health is the most important thing you can maintain, once that is gone, any money you had or have coming will be blown through trying to get your mental problems fixed in and out of different levels of professional help options. Plus, you will no longer be able to have fun outside of work because you would be too drained mentally to do anything else which will start to affect your after work social activities.

This will eventually take a toll on your physical health too, and may put you in a state to where you are just too tired to look for something new and just stay where you are for the next 30+ years where you are no longer growing and challenging yourself.

From those above situations are from personal experience with previous/current coworkers, friends and family. The bulk of people that just stayed where they were and did not look for more fun and engaging work opportunities or start their own business to have more control of their software engineering physically look horrible. To those outside (friends, family, coworkers) you will eventually sound like a broken record of failed I want or should do x,y,z instead of someone that tried to do something new to better themselves work wise to improve.

Just remember if you find yourself asking yourself that same question over and over again, but are actually doing good at the job it is normally just a case of not being challenged enough at work and it is no longer fun and time to upgrade to a newer more challenging job.
I'm not sure you know what you're talking about here.

If you want to see what OO-in-C might look like, look at golang's object model.

You lose some bits of OO design, but many folk just don't need/want them.

Exceptions, deep inheritance, etc.

Don't get me wrong, I'm well versed in C++/C#/Java, but you can quite easily paint yourself into a corner if you're not careful.

C programming requires much more careful thought, and that's probably why Linus isn't too keen on the OO crowd, as that's where, in his opinion, the sloppy programmers have wandered off to.

I recommend gogs for its much smaller footprint.
I've evaluated D for games. It's good in terms of giving you a palette of data modelling options from "I don't care yet" to "I need to track every byte", and having the support of multiple compiler implementations gives it a trustworthy "not going to disappear" feeling. You really don't have to lean on the GC given all the other options for memory management, but it is the canonical default and is likely to stay that way unless everyone keeps piling on the -betterC train.

However - it's another big language with a lot of accumulated history to it and a lot of stuff that isn't immediately needed in the day-to-day. That makes it intimidating to learn and more geared towards "megacorp" codebases when I really want something small and suitable for hobby/education projects that go near the metal. So I've also searched for a dedicated "better C" which led me to Zig. It's still in its early stages so it doesn't face the tightrope act of D development. And the language is uncomplicated, polishing up pretty much every wart and major source of error that's in C(even manual memory stuff - not by eliminating the footguns, but by making safe usage idioms easy), while playing really well with existing C code.

Getting a 502. I feel sorry for the Gitlab on-call right now; the rumors came in a day too early to fully enjoy the weekend.
Adding to this, it now seems that monitor.gitlab.net that's linked in the top post is sending "502 Bad Gateway".
Yesterday's young (and today's old) make it hard for future generations. Are you defending that?
Do you feel the same about IBM?
I'm just wondering what the atmosphere will be like on Gitlab compared to Github.

Github in general to me seems very bubbly and emoji-filled, or to put it into a word - _fun_. For better or worse, it won't be the same. This is not to say that Gitlab would be bad, just that it would be different.

I'm just incredibly curious to see what it ends up looking like.
You're absolutely right! That's exactly what open source developers used to do. In some cases, still do.

Is it perhaps possible that there are non-trivial advantages to the ecosystem that's grown up around GitHub?

I know I've written and released code that would have stayed closed-source forever if I had to manage my own listserv, wiki, and CVS around it.
Horrible news. Swear MS does not want us to have nice stuff.

Wonder where the big tech companies will move their projects to? GitLab?

We finally has a single, neutral site for code and which everyone uses and MS messes it up.

I do hope once and for all we can put to rest this idea MS has changed. Clearly these actions show they have not change.
I think we all trusted github because of git: we know that worst case was that github disappeared overnight, erasing all repositories, and in that case we all would still have distributed backups to restart it.

So we had limited trust in the centralized missions we gave it: communications, issues, pull requests.

I am sure that as soon as a good tool allows to do that in a decentralized fashion, we will switch to it.
Looks like Gitlab needs statuspage.io
It's fortunate for France that the revolution came to nothing. Marxist policies have destroyed every country that has embraced them.

USSR.

North Korea.

Cuba.

Vietnam.

China.

Those that have recovered have done so to the extent that they have abandoned Marxism. Economically speaking, even fascism (e.g. China) is better than Marxism.

It's probably better from a human rights perspective, too. This was first published in 1988, but is still highly relevant:

How many died altogether? No one will ever know. What is certain is that the Soviet Union has been the worst reeking charnel house of this whole awful twentieth century, worse even than the one the Nazis created (but then they had less time). The sum total of deaths due to Soviet policy — in the Stalin period alone — deaths from the collectivization and the terror-famine, the executions and the Gulag, is probably on the order of 30,000,000.

The same people also host their deployment with some of these corporations, who doesn't use either of AWS, GCP or Azure? Do you also have the same concern that a direct competitor possibly has access to your deployed code, API keys and is also in direct control of your production environment?

Not that because it happens, it is nice; but at-least at this point the source code access concern is more of a conspiracy theory if anything.
