I think the two natures of Github as a tool for software development and Github as a social coding site are often at odds. Some ways this could be reconciled:

- greater end user customization of the UI layout

- an option to enter a different UI(contributor UI) for repositories you contribute to/own

- make the contributor UI an enhancement on top of the current UI(perhaps a new darker tab bar)

- related to the above, separating out the discovery part into a separate app

In general, I am in favor of greater customizeability in my professional tools, especially something I use as much as Github. I think one reason we as software developers don’t add a lot of end user customizability to our UIs though, is that it adds a ton of complexity to the UI code. This suggests there is opportunity to explore new UI development paradigms and libraries that have end user customizability as a primary concern, instead of a bolted on after thought. I’m curious if anyone is working on such a project.
I wish they'd bundle solar installation or something with a Tesla.
The controversy of this tool vs Google Authenticator essentially boils down to how secure your laptop/workstation is vs how secure your phone is.

Without being purely "conservative", i.e. it was first done on phones therefore it should stay on phones, what are the actual arguments for one vs the other? What do phones have that laptops don't, and vice versa?

Thanks for this!
> The two-level hierarchy split makes perfect sense for git metadata vs github repo metadata.

That would make sense, but they don't actually keep that separation. The "Releases" tab is Github metadata, yet it's right by the Commits and Branches. Also, right next to the "Branch" button (git) there's the "New pull request" button (github).
stagit-gopher can be an alternative too. Lighter than HTML over HTTP, richer than FTP.

Except I can't buy a Tesla for 26,950. So calling that the price is a lie. No amount of gas I don't buy in the future is going to get me out the door with a Tesla today.
Yes, and that's completely reasonable, but then it's misleading for their promotional copy to say:

>and then return it for free.

which implies that there's no financial loss on your end.

They should at least have phrased it in terms of "and you're only out the initial delivery fee".

Edit: I don't know what the actual status is. One commenter mentioned a delivery fee that's separate from the headline price; I was just going off the earlier discussion.

You are depressing. You are validating blanked "solutions" that harm the creative content and at what cost?

This obsession with regulating and controlling everything that happens on the internet is just hysterical. Also "Think of the kids" is the most common of the "appeal to feelings" falacies that keeps on getting hammered and hammered and it's _depressing_ to see people fall for it.
People like you are the reason we have to make system updates mandatory. Can you imagine if someone important kept an out-of-date primitive OS from updating for years? We have to be able to patch bugs in software whether you care about them or not. We are in climate change denial levels of discussion here.

You reminded me of Lonnie Johnson's "Johnson Thermo-Electrochemical Convertor", or JTEC for short. On their webpage they say they are aiming for 85% Carnot efficiency for converting heat to electricity, and it can run in reverse to become a heat pump[0][1].

Sadly, I can find no third-party measurements of how well it performs in practice, so I guess it's still in the R&D phase. I did find a nice talk by Johnson about the project though[2].

I feel conflicted. There's a value to show the log graph on project's home. It feels that the main emphasis is not really the static nature of source but the contribution you can make to that tree (as in branches history graph).
> I enjoy the low quality youtube comments

They're the solution to a hard engineering problem: how to generate stupid statements on a given topic? Not grammatically incoherent statements, but the products of true stupidity. Pretty hard to automate that kind of thing.

But with YouTube, it's easy. Just search for videos that match the topic, and pull random comments from them. A large fraction are guaranteed to be examples of genuine stupidity.
Store your TOTP secrets PGP or NaCL encrypted. I have done this for years. You'd have to get my private key (off of a smartcard) and get my private key password (out of my head) to decrypt my TOTP secrets before you could use my TOTP generated codes. I have much more faith in this approach than I do Android apps.

Lack of visual distinction is a general problem with the current design trends. Even Apple suffers from it at times—in Xcode, it's impossible to tell whether certain elements are interactive (buttons vs passive status indicators) without clicking on them.

The thing that drives me up the wall is when text inputs are not made obvious. Google in particular is notorious for not giving any indication that something is a text box, as opposed to just static text. I can't count the number of times I have tried to focus and type into something that I thought was a text field, only to discover that nothing was happening.
> mostly a concern for folks who already know how to code, who wouldn't necessarily use it anyway if that specific blocker were removed

Yes, I think that's right. There's a lot of folks who have strong feelings about this but who aren't necessarily our target user. I know that's going to cause a lot of problems but what can you do :-/

Yeah, this very much isn't what we're trying to build, or the business we want to be in :)

> In terms of a community, I guess I meant more in terms of getting developers to create libraries for data processing

Gotcha! Yes indeed, there will be a package manager very much like npm/cargo/rubygems, for just this sort of thing. We plan to make it extremely easy to create and share packages.
It doesn't matter.

Youtube videos are a business to some people so anything that has _potential_ to harm revenue will go straight out of the window.

"Is it worth to include this kid in my skit if it will reduce the revenue by 10%?"

Combine this with 10s of other already existing hypotheticals and you have yourself a neutered vlog machine that is today's youtube.
I don't know about cities, they're usually not the ones running the taxis. But taxi companies most definitely have mobile applications.

In Singapore, the largest taxi company has an application that's much better than Grab. It's faster, doesn't force you to rate the drivers, and doesn't bombard you with ads in the notification area.

(yes, I know Grab doesn't force you to do it anymore, but it used to be that the only way to not rate the driver was to hard kill the application)
I like a lot of these suggestions. For instance, it's true that I never get anything out of the commit messages in the file browser (though "how recently has this file been updated?" is often useful).

One other thing I've never understood about the GitHub UI is why the issues search defaults to open issues. I have literally never wanted to restrict my search in that way. Maybe it's just geared towards maintainers? As a user of a project, I would rather land on a closed issue with a solution to the problem I'm seeing.
I think the author describes the problem with the redesign the best: its noisy.

Your point over how hierarchy helps programmers use GitHub feels lost on the designer. It feels as if they're designing for a different user.
Bitbucket has had CI too, with bitbucket pipelines. I think the innovation here is the UI not the idea of CI.
I'd suggest that heating the water first would be a good idea. Heating water gets rid of a lot of the disolved air (all those little bubbles on the way to boiling).

Probably better if you don't expose the water to air after heating it until it is frozen.
And, it's also faster/easier to copy and paste a command from the internet than to download, install, and run a standard program. Probably not the most security-conscious thing, but it gets the job done.

Furthermore, it's often quite easy to slightly tweak a command I found online, even if I don't understand much of it.

The first loaner confirmed they couldn’t even process a new loan while the old one was in limbo. They even put my case in for special review and apparently part of the wait was ensuring the check wasn’t being used.

I even tried going with a different finance company to secure the exact car I wanted (it was an excellent offer I had driven the dealer to) and they came back with a flat no.

Among other things. Don't forget the duality.

I'm not sure if the bright side is justification for the rest, but regardless, we are what we are.
>The finance has already written you a check, they’ve already done all this leg work.

Oh boo hoo. Finance does a little more work.

I feel for the people doing the refurbishing, sure. They're probably squeezed to death non-union wage labor.

But the Pinstripes in finance? The likelihood the work they do for your loan involves "legs" at all is nil.
I experienced a modern heat pump in action for the first time about a year ago, when I was visiting family in the very cold US state of Maine -- creaky old [and ill-insulated] house in the woods heated up in a jiffy! Hats off to the engineers who work on this stuff.

p.s. even though the refrigerants are bad, still a mile better than the old oil heaters everybody used when I was a kid
Pretty much. It just gives you an unstructured blob of text. From the RFC:

Since the information on a file may vary widely from system to system, this information may be hard to use automatically in a program, but may be quite useful to a human user.

It works by convention and people writing piles of hairy code to over the years to make it behave. FTP is a really ancient protocol with many problems beside that. Much like short people, it got no reason to live.

Ethereum's Constantinople upgrade: a success – developer and community reaction
Can your comment help anyone?

It seems to be within the set of concepts and suggestions that cannot fully sink in and be truly appreciated until some degree of failure or experience relating to them has occurred.

Yeah, they read it. they get it. But they still don't get it, if you know what I mean.

But wow - this one sure does take on some laser etched permanence once it does get through.
Agree 100%. From the paper:

"Second, [the final training algorithm] adds Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) maps, which robots use at execution time, as a source for building the roadmaps. Because SLAM maps are noisy, this change closes the “sim2real gap”, a phenomenon in robotics where simulation-trained agents significantly underperform when transferred to real-robots."

Very nice work. They are using simulated environments to train the navigation system (in a very sample-expensive regime already), and on top of that, going to the trouble of using the noisy maps from SLAM in the simulator, to mimic real noise characteristics.

Although I have done work in this domain, I had not heard the "sim2real" term before. It sounds like a generic phenomenon for systems trained on models but later used in the real world.
The output of ls can be whatever the server wants it to be. djb's publicfile infamously returns a list of files that doesn't look like other servers, which confuses various clients. (The irony is it was supposed to be easier for machines to parse. But nobody was expecting it.)
Hi I'm from the Bitbucket product team. We're looking into it, but as a workaround if you refresh the page it should load properly.
Agreed. I had a 2016 A4. Went to Austin for a conference, was in a 2016 Model S. Road noise was better in the Audi.

And in my current car, compared to a friend's new S? No comparison, mine is far quieter, despite being a V8 (Jaguar XJ) thanks to in cab active noise cancelling and others.
> it's missing the core features that tickle fancy of Tesla buyers

Can you clarify what you mean here? I would think that the "core features that tickle fancy" would be things like autopilot, but that's an expensive add-on package regardless.
Manual everything tends to be popular with the "I don't want a bunch of shit breaking when this vehicle is old" crowd.

If I had ~40k burning a hole in my pocket I'd get the base spec with the big battery and all the self driving bells and whistles.

I can see the most basic model with the biggest battery being popular with the kind of people who buy an accord and put 200k on it over 8yr.
Why the Left Can’t Stand The New York Times
Why you called it "Dark" and not "Light" or something more optimistic?
I think there is a design flaw with step 9: The code tab has been changed to "overview", but an overview is supposed to be a glance of something, not an authoritative source of data. So where's the authoritative source of files in the repository now? Are we supposed to be using the "overview" as a file browser too? I don't really want to see all that stuff on the right if I'm just trying to traverse some directories to get to a file.

I like all the changes prior to that one though.
Sounds like an issue with Chrome, then.

The OS handles its own state. That should be invisible to applications. Applications handle their own state. That should be invisible to the OS.

As I said, Firefox offers a choice to restore or discard tabs after a bad start or shutdown of the program.

If Chrome doesn't have good fail-safe mechanisms, I'm confused about what that has to do with Microsoft and what it has to do with me being shortsighted.
Unfortunately, this happens and is one of the main reasons companies don't like to take about changes in price in public.
I have a Model S and I used to own several BMWs. Honestly, what luxury does an entry level BMW or Audi even provide ? BMW 3 series is a joke with it 4 cylinder engine, soft handling, and a tiny screen where you have to visit the dealer to get a map update. Teslas are way more luxurious in the sense that they provide a 21st century car.
Universities in the UC system are definitely not getting $150k from each student. Tuition doesn't even cover the cost of educating each student.

You can see UCLA's financials here: https://ucla.app.box.com/v/acct-pdf-AFR-16-17

Tuition and fees netted $833MM in 2017. The cost of the undergraduate schools alone was well over a billion dollars.
Hey congratulations ! Funny enough, I had offers to write a book on WebAssembly, almost 2 years ago, after writing an article[1] on that topic that somehow ranked #1 on HN for a day :) Had to decline but never doubted someone more experienced would write one!

> I'm not sure what a good way of distinguishing between the two would be.

GitHub Pages makes it easy to create a separate website for the first use case, which you can link to on the very top in the description. Then the README can contain info aimed at (new) developers of the project, build instructions and the likes, which you likely don't have to go to frequently (your 2nd case).
The first several changes, which stick firmly to the principle of “design is how it works”, would help noticeably. The last step, where it starts to try restyling, is no longer “how it works” and that goes too far for me; contrast is lost, things that aren’t too important are suddenly loud and distracting, etc. (i.e. everything I hate about many “modern” web sites).
Sexism.
Because This: https://youtu.be/YJg02ivYzSs?t=125

That seems like a great idea in principle, but for most small projects the GitHub page /is/ the documentation. If that weren't the case, you wouldn't see half a dozen links to GitHub pages to show off projects on HN each day.

It's all very well to talk about ideals, but you can't ignore reality in the process.

You're right, though, that you shouldn't have to scroll past it every time. I don't really know what the solution is, but having it there but going undiscovered is the worst of both worlds.

I agree with the author, the last commit to touch a file or directory isn't very useful. A single white space change will replace the message for a large refactor.

The commit message is a proxy for freshness, but only if you are familiar with the commit log. It is a proxy for related changes, because a commit will update the details for many files.

'Freshness' indicated by color that is more washed out the older the file achieves the first use case.
A sparkline showing changes over time would indicate recent changes, hot files, related changes, and freshness.
This is why I discourage Free Software projects from using hosted issue trackers entirely, especially ones that are proprietary (such as GitHub). Mailing lists are the best solution for longevity and meaningful discussion. If you really need to, you can organize things in a file that is in the repository alongside the source code (Org mode is great for this), which has many significant advantages (and downsides, like not being point-click for PMs, but if your Free Software project has PMs, you have bigger problems that software cannot solve).

> Think of how many windows you have open in the taskbar, and yet somehow you know exactly where to go to find the one you need.

That's not the same thing at all because 1) you have a visual indicator (app icon) to help you find what you need, and 2) you are likely switching between windows (thus reminding yourself of their position) much more often than switching between tabs on GitHub. What you're saying is true for power users, but anyone who doesn't use the UI very consistently will still need to scan the tabs to find what they're looking for, because there is no distinct, visual differentiation between them.

That said, I agree that it solves the usability issue you mentioned, I just don't know if this was the best way to do it.

Just wait for the used tesla market to kick off.

Once people start having issues getting parts, these cars will be joining the market for cheap.
https://cleantechnica.com/2018/04/16/tesla-batteries-have-90...

"Actual Tesla owners report about a 5% drop in battery capacity by the 50,000 mile mark but after than, the rate of degradation drops considerably. On average, cars with 160,000 miles on them still have 90% of their battery capacity remaining. Projecting forward from the real world data available, a Tesla battery should still have 80% battery capacity after 500,000 miles of driving, the group claims. The vast majority of internal combustion engines would have stopped functioning long before then."

Assuming a conservative usage of 20k miles/year, it will take you 25 years to reach 500k miles.
1. $37,100 Tesla with a free one hour dealership test drive.

2. $35,000 Tesla plus a $100 rental payment for a 24 hour test drive.

You honestly prefer the first option?
For an absolute base model. Most of the models start in the mid 20s, and you can find a $33,000 Civic (as in one that's available to buy, not "I clicked every single option in the Build menu") easily enough.

The redesign looks awful, IMO. Way too busy. Too many tabs at the top.

I rarely care about the contributors or the commits in a github repository. I care zero about the stats. All I want are the files.

The last commit is incredibly important to me, since it lets me see if two files changed at the same time by quickly comparing descriptions.
I'd rather use my own cellphone plan & wifi than pay for that kind of stuff indirectly.
Yes, you do want the bad voice samples precisely because they correspond to actual input that a model might receive. A dataset with only clear samples would likely have a stronger "signal" overall meaning it might be easier for an academic testing a model to get higher test accuracy training on that data. The bad data makes the model more robust to non-ideal input types
