Interesting, happy about the performance gains. Some other news are critical corrections to awful JS faults (bigints calculations ...), some other items look to be helpful. But I've so far not been happy at all about the cognitive mess which is async/await and promises, just to avoid callback hell AFAICS. Maybe these changes could alleviate that.

“Why would I care as an investor? I still want the stock to go up quickly.”

That is not what investors want; that’s what speculators want. I am saving for retirement in about 15-20 years; I want my investments to appreciate a reasonable amount over that period and show a stable pattern of generating good returns - I don’t really care what their prices are like in the next few months, except for that if they’re down in price for a while, I can buy more to enjoy later.
Seems like the Maven registry is susceptible to artifact hijacking.

Say I wan't to install artifacts from two GitHub users. I would have to add these two Maven repositories:

- https://maven.pkg.github.com/USER1
- https://maven.pkg.github.com/USER2

In that case USER1 can publish an artifact with the same groupId/artifactId as USER2 and my Maven will happily install it without suspecting anything.

Another case - someone deletes their GH account and another user takes it:

Hey, love projects like yours, keep it up!
My favorite is How You Make The Sale by Frank McNair
https://www.amazon.com/How-Make-Sale-Frank-McNair/dp/1402204...

I came from a technical background as well and this was the only book that really explained the process to me without a bunch of "closing tricks" or other gimmicky sales tactics.
I guess that's their way of telling your bean counters that you don't want self-hosted and instead want to put everything on their servers (<Jedi mind trick wave>). That way, they can increase lock in.
There’s a vast middle ground between those two extremes. Some history is worth keeping, and some is not. Noise commits are of the form “forgot a closing paren,” “comment/uncomment section while debugging,” “finally got it to compile,” “checkpoint,” “fix typo,” or “going home for the day.”

Code and by extension history should be easy for humans to read. For that reason, the signal is very much worth keeping and polishing, but the noise is not. Documentation of false starts, appealing but ultimately problematic design choices, and “why” information belong in comments, commit messages, or design documents — explicit rather than implicitly littered around the history.

I took the recent fastai course that had two lessons about S4TF taught by Chris Lattner and walked away excited.

It’s not ready for prime time yet but the roadmap looks great. Building auto-differentiation into the language and having an easy way for anyone to experiment with core architecture changes (without killing performance) will be a huge win for everyone.

I expect lots of prototyping will be done on S4TF (because it will be easy for developers to keep things on the GPU with XLA and MLIR) and then the things that work will be back-ported to other ecosystems.

I'm 33 and probably thought similar to the original thought at some point in my life. I've only grown sympathetic after seeing the transformation of my dad as he gets older. Without having to make sense of how a profoundly patient and caring man could slowly morph into a slightly short tempered form of himself, I would have never tried to rectify it.

I think the original comment actually unintentionally hit the core of it. The younger poster exalted imdomitability. A lot of people grow up enjoying and expect themselves to be technically, personally, and professionally indomitible. Any regression on those fronts is understandably infuriating.
> It will mean the death of Maven Central, about which I have mixed feelings

I don't see it as such. A key reason that this offering from GitHub (and the corresponding one for GitLab) is useful is that it simplifies the enterprise stack - things that will never get posted to Maven or npm or DockerHub in the first place.

From the announcement:

> Packages in GitHub inherit the permissions of the repository, and you no longer need to manage third party solutions and sync team permissions across systems.

This impacts locally hosted Nexus repositories. The artifacts that I build for my team that currently get pushed to internal systems can now live along side the source code repository.

From the "What our customers are saying":

> GitHub Package Registry has allowed us to spend more time solving hard problems, and improving patient care. Since it uses the same permissions and security as the rest of GitHub, we spend less time managing multiple accounts, ACLs, and on-premise infrastructure, which leaves us with more time to code what matters!

That is exactly where it is useful.

For maven central, I am pleased to have the governance and management of those systems be part of my deployment chain for third party libraries and I will continue to prefer to pull something from Maven Central rather than somewhere else whenever possible.
Will this have a container registry built in ? it mentions Docker, but not sure about the details. What about Docker image builds ?
> every for-profit company that runs a package registry, eventually stagnates, and ends up implementing things that are not for the users, but for their own profits.

I actually think Github might be different, because they have a pretty solid monetization model already: companies paying per user for private source repositories. This easily extends to companies private artifact repositories.

Github benefits from the network effect of providing free source repositories to open source projects, so this is probably enough incentive to start and keep providing high-quality free artifact repositories to open source projects.
Ah, I see. Thanks for sharing.

I remember spending some summer days like that from time to time.

> Loud restaurants are torture. So, more and more, my wife and I select restaurants by their noise level rather than by their food quality. At home while watching TV, whether shows, streaming events, or movies, we always turn on the captions, which often block critical parts of the image. Even worse, when a film shows someone speaking in a foreign language, the film often translates the words, but so too does the closed captioning, and the two are placed on top of one another, making both attempts to help the viewer completely unhelpful.

I'm (only) in my 30's and every one of these applies to me and my friends, as well.
I think that they might be making wrong conclusions. For example, they say that USPS is losing 80 millions dollars on delivery from abroad. But USPS is delivering letters and goods to Americans, so you should also count how much they save on getting cheaper goods, how much they save because prices lower due to competition, and maybe the total balance would be in favour of Americans.

Also, they mention that the last mile delivery is expensive, but often goods are delivered only to the post office, not to the customer's door so the expenses are not that high.

Hey everyone, Eric Ries here, founder and CEO of LTSE (and also you may remember me from such roles as the Lean Startup guy). Day one of approval has been kind of exhausting with all the attention but I wanted to stop by this thread and say hello.

Have questions? Happy to answer as best I can. Keep in mind that this is a highly-regulated startup so we are sometimes limited in what we can say publicly. I’ll do my best to give you a straight answer if I can.

Thanks for all the support over the years, this project has been a true community effort,

I mean, the answer's not all that complicated: Unions are made up of people, and different people have different levels of ability.

Some unions elect people to lead them who are corrupt, and want to simply hoard the power for themselves and those closest to them.

Some unions elect people to lead them who are incompetent, and no matter how hard they try, they can't achieve the union's goals.

And some unions elect people to lead them who have both the desire and the ability to genuinely achieve the union's goals, and make things better for the workers without crippling the business(es) they work for.

Looking at long-standing unions, the problem is multiplied further by entrenched attitudes, cultures, and even rules that differentiate them, built up over more than a century. Some of these will likely increase effectiveness, while others will hamper it.

All of this is, incidentally, a big part of why most anti-union rhetoric is so frustrating to me: it paints all unions as being one thing (and a bad thing at that), when it's painfully obvious that there is no fundamental requirement for unions to, for instance, make sure that terrible employees are un-fireable. It's just something that's built up in some of the old, crusty ones.

Exposure to content is the reason HN exists and why you're reading it at all. If it wasn't posted on Twitter, OP may never have found it (even if a link to a private blog was posted to Twitter) and never shared it for you to read.
Yeah, today that's so. The problem with for-profit companies is that there is nothing keeping that from staying like that, except the goal of earning a profit.

The moment the outlook of earning a profit changes, the company has to adjust and sometimes that doesn't affect the users. But sometimes it does, and it's those cases Open-Registry is trying to prevent from ever happening.

Let's say the community comes up with a feature that would be great for the GitHub Package Registry to provide, but it would make the earnings from private repositories lower. Since GitHub rely on earning from private repositories, the decision will probably be to not implement that feature, even though it would be good for the Package Registry users.
I think so too :)
> A Joe Average is legally allowed to invest his 401k in the riskiest penny stock one can find.

Most 401ks do not allow individual stocks. Some do, but often with only a small % of total account value.

IRAs typically act more like a general equity account, but by that point I would argue a person is already a bit more financially savvy. If they have taken the time to either open an additional retirement account or roll a 401k over from a prior job, then they have some idea about penny stock risk.
Making “Root Maker” – My First Experience with Ludum Dare
I was really sad to hear about NIMBY being pushed out of Oakland too, because it's another example of how areas get absorbed and change (and a little bit more of SF maker culture affected).

The trend of interesting innovation / culture / community starting as a movement and turning into a zoo (in the sense of people not part of it wanting to pay to have a look) is kind of how everything happens.

Settlements of humans that are now cities, gentrification within cities, hacker spaces and makerspaces ending up full of business people and less technical people...

I'm not saying this is a problem, although I know it's often sad when you're a part of the community, but that the cycle of interesting bits of culture kind of being absorbed and in some ways killed but in other ways captured into the world happen all the time.

It's really interesting to watch. I'm currently living in Amsterdam which is trying to reduce tourism (local politicians do things like remove the famous Amsterdam sign). I don't think it'll work. Too many people benefit from the money and the world wants a piece of it.

I think for some Brexit is a futile attempt at trying to hold on to British Club even though Britain will inevitably evolve and change with migration, technology, tourism, knowledge etc.

The HFT can't just know that you're going to place a market order, and then jump in front of all of the other limit orders that you're going to match with, without offering a better price than the other limit orders.

The only way that could work is if the lowest price you can buy on exchange A is $100, and the HFT knows that you're about to submit a market order, so he buys up the $100 orders until the best price is $101, and then he lists what he bought for sale at $100.99, which your market order matches against. OK, in theory this works.

To avoid this, you can just submit a limit order at $100 instead of a market order. You should always use limit orders for exactly this reason, anyway: even in the absence of foul play, the order you're trying to match against might get matched by someone else in the mean time and you could get a worse price than you expect.
I cite this fact all the time when talking to people about how capital markets have changed dramatically. But even I find it hard to remember the actual numbers. They are so mind boggling by modern standards. It wasn’t that long ago!

Constraints can be a virtue. The barrier to entry for making a Tweet is very low, so there are a lot of people who do it. To get the features you've listed, you may need something like Wordpress, where the barrier is much higher. You also know everyone who reads your tweet will consume it in largely the same way for as long as Twitter exists.
Being Afraid to Change a Working App

My rates are already high for outside London (UK), but I hear you. They're the wrong type of clients, so I've optimised for extracting every last dime (as you wrote in a sibling comment).

Thinking about it, I have a mental block around not billing. I want to see the balance tick up, hour by hour. Any non-billable time is wasted time. Not being paid = no self-worth = I'm wasting my time & got to try harder.

So billing for value, where I haven't "earned" the money by working for it, or putting in a speculative 2-weeks to scope - I'm fighting myself.

[Corollary: I'm very (too) risk averse]
Vegans do not necessarily _actually_ care. They only _feel_ that they care. And that's what is important to them; their feelings. Just like people fight over religion, vegans and non-vegans fight over righteous feelings. Nobody actually cares about animals lol.

Looks like it's common thing in interviews too. Even recruiters will tell you: "never say you don't know the answer, try...". Not sure about the others, but if I don't know something I go and do my reading/digging in, instead of trying to guess it or bluff it, not sure why it has to be different in any other situations.

This isn't too surprising. Microsoft's DevOps in Azure does the same thing (or did I haven't looked at it in a few months). There was literally no point in using it until, as you've pointed out, a user can leverage cache. If I have a multistage build with an SDK that weighs in around 1GB why would I ever want to use a tool that pulls that down every run?

I think, as many have said, that this is going after GitLab more than anyone else, although I can see a lot of users migrating away from Docker Hub given 1) the latest snafu/breach and 2) why keep my container repo over here and my container build pipeline over there? Doesn't make any sense and Docker Hub doesn't come with the pedigree of CDN baked in. I'm sure the same arguments work for other technologies in this consideration, but... Docker seems to continually be behind the 8-ball on the shifting field. My guess is Microsoft buys them in the next 3 years at a discount anyway. It fits their pattern of getting in front of the modern ecosystem and since Docker has leverage with containerd right now it would be an unsurprising move.

For example, I am working on a SaaS product that can be optionally self hosted. I want to provide docker images and maven artifacts for the self hosted portion but since they are closed source I don't think they belong on Maven Central or Dockerhub.
