> Disclosure requirements for contributions to federal campaigns are similar.

I have to publish my address and who I donated to, for every crazy loon out there to see and for any employer or other person who could hurt me to retaliate if I support a wrong one? That sounds insane.

No wonder people like to contribute to PACs. With requirements like that, it's plain crazy not to use an intermediary.

> Most states have voter rolls which are covered by open record laws

Voter rolls just says the person has right to vote, not who he or she is voting for, right?

> I'm not sure why this law strikes you as so crazy.

Complete lack of privacy in the matter which is proven to expose people to harassment, retaliation, threats and violence.

Probably because it's much safer to do it through an intermediary, I assume.
Why? Many other news websites simply force you to opt-in, which is illegal. It seems ad analytics are vitally important to their business model.

ZX Vega+: Indiegogo calls game over on Sinclair console
I compared them yesterday. There seems to be more development activity and more contributors for Gitea (check the pulse tool on github for the last month). I haven’t got a stake in this whatsoever, but I recall the rationale for the fork being that PR’s would remain unmerged for months without comment due to the inactivity of the original author, who nevertheless wanted to retain control?

gogs is mostly maintained by a single developer, and has less activity than gitea.
What’s not to like? Moving to GitLab. I actually like Github. It works and works well. Change for change sake is a bad motivation for such a critical part of software development.

If MS “ruins” Github, then I could move then right? Because it’s so easy? Right now, Github isn’t ruined, so what is so compelling about moving now? I am failing to see the emergency. What happens if GitLab is bought by someone else we don’t like? Do we move again? It’s tiring to keep up with all of the things about which we should be outraged. I just want a rock solid product that works. GitHub does that, so what is so compelling about moving to GitLab?

I agree with you except for the section above. I don't know that Microsoft has done anything remarkably "good". Today's Microsoft is centered around their surveillance, keylogging Operating System. It's centered around their deceptive & litigious forced upgrades to Windows 10.

Someone mentioned a piece of software called 'Yammer' (a freemium enterprise social networking service) a few days ago that I'm not familiar with. When I looked into it, I found that Microsoft had acquired Yammer in 2012 for US$1.2 billion.[0]

This is the current result of that acquisition: "The new integrations have implications for the way Microsoft sells Yammer. Microsoft is encouraging customers to migrate to its Office 365 plans. Effectively Microsoft will stop selling Yammer as a standalone service."[1]

I'm sure there are many more modern day examples. I'll have to delve back into Microsoft land to find out (MS refugee for a few years now after jumping ship to the privacy-respecting Linux).

To me, there is little difference between the Microsoft of 20 years ago and the Microsoft today. In many ways, with the addition of user-hostile surveillance and data-hording, Microsoft is far worse than they've ever been.

Ok, so then we could agree that the more general general topic is safety, so different options could be discussed: D, Ada, Rust, C++, etc.

The bindgen tool allows integrating C code with Rust code, which means than an existing C code base can be replaced with Rust step by step.

A C code base can be compiled with some modifications as C++ and then it can be slowly refactored to use safer C++ idioms. In this case the safety improvements will be available much faster, even if the resulting code base won't be as safe as a Rust code base. The culture shock will also not be as large for the C programmers.

These are non-negligible benefits, and a big reason why C code bases are moving to C++.

We have been following this since Microsoft launched project Natick in 2015[1]. Comupting has a large effect on our planet, data centers consume over 6% of the world's electricity (more than India) and generate over 4% of the world's CO2 emmissions (twice that of commercial air-travel)[2]. The approach taken by Microsoft is a nice PR-stunt but we think it's impractical/difficult to carry out maintenance and leads to a very expensive TCO.

FWIW we believe immersion cooling is the most practical approach to reduce energy needs of hungry data centers and still allow them to be situated where they are needed and enable the re-usage of heat. As a shameless plug, I am the co-founder of https://submer.com .

Well it had to start out somehow. The original project started off on GitHub so it just kinda stayed there. It does cost money to host these type of applications and its easier to have contributions on GitHub since it doesn't require most people to register a new account. It certainly has trade offs for sure.

Indeed, however if you will try to convince a group of C programmers that arrays shouldn't decay to pointers you will get a different reaction compared to trying to convince them that all array accesses should be bounds checked.

I would lead with the stronger demand, because that's what would IMO trigger the more interesting discussion.
One (but not both) of the coroutines need to do a return after invoking coro swap to see the advantage of avoiding the call, otherwise the additional call instruction is pretty much 0 cost.

Inline assembler does have another advantage though: you can use extended asm clobbers instead of saving registers manually. At the very least the compiler can do a better job of scheduling the instruction around (which is admittedly marginal on an OoO CPU), but in some cases (like this specific artificial test) can completely omit them. You should be able to see a coroutine jump every other cycle this way (i.e. the theoretical limit as most CPUs can only perform a taken jump that often).

At the end of the day depends on what you are aiming for: if a task is doing some reasonable amount of work between coroutine jumps (i.e. 'just' light weight threads), the canonical implementation is perfectly fine. My end goal is to make coroutines usable as generators, so probably even inline assembler is not enough there as ideally you would like the compiler to optimize, inline and vectorize across coroutine calls.

That is of course the major question :] Looking at myself though, psychedelics did definitely change something (as in, bascically from one day to the other, not only gradually, so there is something causal there)
When a system collapses when the goal is to just not have something bad happen, then it becomes a question of not if but when the system will collapse. Robust systems are those that are tolerant of negative outcomes instead of just hoping they'll never happen.

Two points specifically on Facebook:

1 - The extensive profiling and datamining of Facebook is not necessary for their core service. Third parties can of course always datamine what people voluntarily put out there on their own (https://www.snoopsnoo.com/ is a great example of a very primitive platform exploiting what users say on reddit - even that is disconcerting), but much of the nastier stuff that Facebook does is first party only - cross matching devices/fingerprints, tracking non-registered 'users' through various means, quantifying response to various categories of information, and so on.

2 - I would think it's becoming increasingly clear that people connecting easily is not necessarily as good as it seemed like it should have been. Instead of becoming a more diverse, varied, and embracing world - people have instead just sought out people that confirm their own biases and we're becoming more segregated into our own bubbles than ever before. And as people surround themselves only with those with the same biases of themselves they rapidly slide further down the path to radicalism in their own biases. Lastly it's also creating systems of groupthink as individuals fear that expressing views outside the social standard of their group could result in social expulsion.

In times past your friends were whoever you ended up being thrown together with. And it resulted in relationships that would never form today, often to great result. And even this 'great connectivity' of society has had a paradoxical effect as depression and loneliness are at record levels. Clearly there's far greater implications to 'connecting with people easily' than the kneejerk reaction to such a marketing point.
Counterintuitively, cooling is really difficult in outer space. It's cold, but there's no air or water circulating to remove the waste heat by convection. Instead you have to rely on radiating the heat away, which is much less efficient.

You could open a well-worded issue for it (“Gitea code base should be hosted on gitea instance”) and track that. There is a chance that the developers will close it as a WONTFIX of course.

For companies who are already complying with laws in whatever jurisdiction I'd have to agree with what you are saying.

But if the economics in the future make sense on some level, I could see criminal enterprises interested in exploring things like this. If narco's are building/using submarines now, I could see them managing/tracking/monitoring a global logistics from their sunken data centers (they'll need to find other ways to power and transmit/receive, because I doubt they could just hook up their cables directly onshore anywhere, setting aside being an easy choke-point to cut access).

Maybe future narcos, illegal EU personal data miners/brokers, pirates or who else for whatever could be interested, esp if the fixed cost of operating stuff now/future > operating/ future sunken data centers and probability/cost of seizure now/future > probability/cost with future sunken datacenters?

I have a Ryzen 1700 at home, and I am very happy with it. The fan that came with it runs very quietly even under heavy load. On workloads that utilize all cores, frequency will drop to 2-2.5 GHz after a while, but for those, the number of cores/threads tends to have a bigger impact on throughput than clock frequency / performance per core.
I realise your general point is correct, but Football Manager 2018 is pretty mainstream and will eat as many cores as you throw at it.

JWZ's take on the sale of GitHub
Git is a distributed version control system. Every repo can be the master repo. 'Master' is purely a function of convention. It is worth stressing that you need no software to 'host' git. Every git repository is 'self hosting', by design.

Tools like this primarily provide a web client to a repository not intended as a working copy, with some optional non-git code collaboration tools, such as issues, and an inbox of pull requests (i.e. suggested patches). These are not unique tools, there are many options for issue tracking and email.

I make this point because these solutions are trying to replicate smaller or larger chunks of github rather than provide alternative ways to use git.

That said, Gita/Gogs is pretty. And might hold the hand of people only used to github. It is great that it is self-contained as a binary, so can be used with minimal configuration, like other front-ends.

But I worry that the emphasis on tools like this suggest we have accepted that github-flavoured centralised version control ('gitversion', maybe, or 'gcs'), rather than git, is now the de facto standard for version control. Am I paranoid? Does it even matter?

No, you could not. You would gain nothing over having a datacentre in London and a datacentre in New York and a low latency link between them.

You can note, for example, that there is no data centre half way between Chicago and New York, even though that area has cheap accessible real estate and billions of dollars have been spent on low latency communication links between the two.
Why it's considered to be an alternative? Github is all about social networking for developers, not code hosting, or am I wrong?
Oh yes, this stuff drives me nuts.

I view 'imply' as 'suggest' and 'prove' is 'this is a fact'. Correlation does in fact imply causation (which is why correlations are investigated). It just doesn't prove the causation. It may be that the two things you're looking at are both related to some other cause (e.g. ice cream sales and murders increase in summer, supposedly. This does not mean ice cream sales has a direct relation to murder but they probably both have a relation to outside tempature), it may even be pure coincidence. But if you see a correlation you see a place to begin your investigations.

That's the big issue.
They could be pretty interested in shifting it away from Chromium an V8-based Node to something that uses platform webviews (Edge on Windows) and a platform-specific JS engine backing Node (ChakraCore on Windows). I believe they have posted open-source experimental forks in that direction in the past.

That's very different from killing it, but it could make developing or supporting Electron apps more difficult - plus the fear that it could then start sliding down the slope of the Windows version getting more investment, eventually leading to the classic "it's best on Windows" embrace/extend platform lockin. I'm not betting on that being their play, but I could see how people would worry...

IIRC they have an active bug/feature ticket to that effect so they are on the case. The issues holding them back are not core features of source control but the other integrated features that a significantly sized project finds useful: CI support, certain discussion features, and so on.

So for small projects I wouldn't let this put you off, and for larger ones or those where for some other reason you want more than just good source control take a judgement based on the features you expect to need.

Of course it is git in the back-end, so if you start needing just an interface onto source control but later desire missing features that gitlab/github/other has, migrating the repositories should be almost no effort.
