>If the price then drops (because the initial offering price was too high) those preferred clients lose money.

Unless these preferred clients are active traders, this isnt a problem. Remember when government nixed fiduciary resposibility?

Just slide a soon-to-drop, over-valued-at-IPO stock into say,... someones' retirement account? Wouldnt it be weird if a bunch or Morgan-Stanley-managed 401Ks were shifted to include that?

Especially if the bank managing the IPO gets a cut of the cash, there's no downside to such. At least for them.
If you have $1 and I give you $1, but you now only own half of the total of $2. You did not "make" $1.

The more general takeaway from this is that you can redefine (some of) Ruby's unary operators. Their naming is unfortunately less consistent than Python's dunder-methods, but each of these work: `+@` for `+`, `-@` for `-`, `~` for `~`.

Given this price (and the likely downward trend to come if Lyft is any predictor), I wonder if Uber and Lyft are really just an act of philanthropy from SF VCs + SA to hungry/drunk/tired city-dwelling folk. If so, thanks guys! (* and you mostly are guys). Next ones on me!

Any investor who limits themselves to the "long-term" is doing nothing more than allowing execs to get away with bad behavior.

There is absolutely zero evidence that current stock prices don't price in the long-term. Indeed, if there were, savvy investors would arbitrage for that... and then it would no longer be the case. This is pretty much by definition, just Econ 101. (Also, somebody who thinks stocks are biased to the short-term... please explain AMZN's valuations over the past two decades.)

The only people calling for limiting investor ability to sell are executives of companies themselves, who are afraid of accountability from investors. Because sometimes CEO's would rather be lazy or work on their fun (yet unjustifiable) pet projects, than actually build a profitable, sustainable business like investors want. (It's just human nature.)

A "long-term stock exchange" is one of the greatest cons ever played by execs. It is good only for management, at the expense of investors, customers, and everyone else generally. It is simply the removal of accountability, which can never be a good thing.
This is not my point here, but the galaxy you refer to is consistent with MOND:

It's somewhat rich for Gitlab to passive-aggressively complain about Github releasing a feature they released first.
I have the opposite view: the success of GitHub and the growth of code being open by default with everything running through git has probably brought more people into the git ecosystem than would have otherwise. I primarily use GitHub, but whenever I need something that I need to run myself I know I can fairly seamlessly switch over to something like GitLab.

For example, if GitHub ever started using a very proprietary application, I would just switch over to using regular git, and I'm guessing many others would too.
That's because it isn't "better", it's just different.

The unspoken assumption is that two different types of evidence are generally better than just one type, not that one type is better than the other.
I believe this was true at one point, but isn't any more. Whilst you cannot allocate executable memory, you can use VirtualProtectFromApp to remap memory as executable [1]. UWP does enforce W^X though. You do need the codeGeneration capability.

(Disclaimer, work for Microsoft - made LuaJIT run on UWP in my free time, this definitely works :) )

Yes and no. It affects software that's installed via things like Kubernetes pod definitions. You need to "relocate" images to the correct registry in that case.

This is a sufficient hassle that one of my colleagues maintains an entire tool devoted entirely to this purpose: https://github.com/pivotal/image-relocation

they are suggesting improvements. The code as a whole is problematic due to a number of reasons and they are offering improvements. If they had prefaced everything with add the namespace to the definitions, I doubt most people would have had as much of a problem with it. From what it seems, they didn't though because the developers don't seem to be worried about library namespace collisions.
Being a Bitbucket user is pretty distressing right now. We're invested quite heavily into it, but moving to Gitlab would really address some of our major pain points (having to run Sonatype Nexus, and some Bitbucket Pipelines restrictions).

I hope they can catch up before it becomes too tempting to bail.
Good question. Technically speaking just running HPL on a cluster is sufficient to get it ranked on top-500.

In reality, most HPC sites use high performance interconnects, such as infiniband or a proprietary high performance ethernet. They are also less likely to use virtualization, and every node looks 'bare metal'. The software stacks are very different, from everything between the distributed memory model, compilers, to the system schedulers and diagnostic software.

Nevertheless, there is a great deal of convergence happening between HPC and hyperscale data centers, particularly as hyperscale uses more machine learning, which has a similar flavor to HPC. Many believe that the FANG companies have exaflop capabilities already, but they just aren't well optimized for scientific workloads.
How can you invest in real estate intelligently?
The newer or smaller projects will always take in a good pull request. Take a look at any number of “issues” and see if they are legitimate bugs and try and tackle those. What this means is don’t expect to submit a PR right away to <insert hottest project we’ve all heard of>.

When submitting a PR, mention what it’s for, it’s written in the style conventions of the project and language, and that it’s got tests!

Lastly, I realize that these types of questions that a true rookie asks because once they realize how obvious it is and then will move on.
I'm sure this all depends on use-cases, but I'll chime in to agree. I work on web services that do high (not Google high, but you've-heard-of-it high) levels of traffic, we run on the JVM, and GC pauses are not something that cause us to lose any sleep using out-of-the-box settings + explicit heap min/max.

What I notice is that the nest does a really great job managing the temperature in my house and keeping it comfortable. It just works and it became a default expectation. We had to go back to the old thermostat after an issue with our furnace, after which I started getting a ton of complaints from everybody about too cold/too hot. It's a great example of a technology that works really well.
I think all of human civilization falling into a new dark age is much more disruptive than 3,000 civilians dying in an act of terrorism.
Gitlab might want to rethink their PR strategy. Every knee jerk reaction they toss out there in response to things like this makes me want to try their tech less and less.
I would personaly much rather they fix backup and restore rather than removing the feature. I do not understand why an application can opt-out from an encrypted backup. The lack of good backup/restore for Android sucks.
To be fair, if you cure aging, you drastically reduce (or make non-existent) the incidence rate of most diseases, since they tend to appear as you get older. I think curing aging is the ultimately smart thing to do.

That's the thing - git was fundamentally a tool borne with an asynchronous workflow in mind: I work on X, Alice works on Y, Bob works on Z, and the eventual merging (which might happen days or weeks later) should be as simple as possible - without worrying about who checked out what. Git was dropped in the "distributed VCS" bucket, but decentralization was a secondary effect of the workflow Linus wanted to achieve.

GitHub then took the server-side bits of git, and effectively built a web-based interface with social features on top. Git itself is still very much a decentralized tool (just add a new remote and off you go), only the social GUI is centralized.

It would be cool if somebody could build "Github over P2P" (I guess with a bit of blockchain, because hype). At that point the entire stack would be fully decentralized.

A typical week of cheap work lunches for me might include:

- 2 lb chicken breast = $4
- 1 lb white rice = $1.00
- 2 lb canned black beans = $2
- 2 bags of frozen vegetables = $3

That's a decent amount of food, pretty healthy, and only takes about 30-45 minutes to cook and portion out.

So, ok, it's $2 a meal instead of "a tenth of $10" - but it's still a significant savings.

Gitlab is like the most open source company out there. It sets examples in transparency that even Mozilla should learn from.

Calling what it open sources "non-essential" is so ridiculously misinformed that I'm really wondering what your goal is here.
That is, indeed, a fair point of concern. But in practical terms, I would place Github very high in any ranking of good things that happened to open source.

It's possible many people have forgotten, or are to young to remember, how the ecosystem worked pre-Github. There was sourceforge, which wasn't quite the disaster it is today, but also not very good. But mostly I remember every project using different, often hand-rolled systems. PRs had to be sent in by mail. Every project had their own conventions of where to send patches, what formats to use, what additional information to provide etc.

Just try figuring out how to get a patch into Debian, which is still where most projects were ca. 2005. I won't wait.

I never contributed to OSS pre-Github. These days, I routinely send in a patch for smaller things I encounter a few times per week. Over time, I have also started becoming a more involved contributed to two projects. I doubt this would have happened without the flat learning curve that Github provides.

I wouldn't be surprised if both the number of contributors and total contributions to OSS have soared by a factor like 5x even above just the growth in OSS usage, and Github is the obvious reason for it.
Gitlab isn't entirely open source. Many of their features require a commercial license. For instance, in order to use the NPM package registry, you must be on a plan (managed or self-hosted) at the $19/user level or above.
“Strong” refers to to the level of passion with which you will defend the opinion.

The point is that you are willing to passionately argue for your side—as opposed to passively avoiding debate—but that you’re not simultaneously ignoring the arguments presented by the opposing side.

The original article here is seemingly little more than a straw man argument against the quoted philosophy.
As a former Fuel Band owner, I wouldn't trust Nike and "tech" in the same room. I'm still ticked off about the "we'll support Android in a few months" bait and switch they pulled. The tin foil hat on one shoulder says it's because Tim Cook was on the board, but the more rational side says its because we developers are fundamentally lazy, and its easier to support one platform than the hodgepodge of Bluetooth implementations across Android. The deceit is what gets me.

On the flip side, car owners make traffic worse for Lyft and Uber users.

If you are OK with stackful coroutines (that libmill provides) then an RTOS (like freertos) would mostly be the same thing. Context switching for those isn’t as expensive as for PC Threads and processes.

If you can’t afford the memory for a dedicated callstack per thread then there are the other event driven models that had been mentioned here. However one loses out one real-time capabilities and priority handling by using those compared to a preemptive RTOS.
Uber and Lyft have "network effects"? How? Explain that.

I couldn't tell you what car sharing service any of my friends use.

When I was in Malta earlier this year, there was no Uber. I downloaded an app called Taxify while sitting at a cafe, and called a car from it. It's not a huge barrier to download and install another app, even when trying to call a car.
That's certainly a tricky question which essentially is connected to their "insider information", but the answer certainly doesn't rely on limiting others' ability to sell.

Solutions to that generally involve long-term vesting periods for executive shares, e.g. executives can't sell their shares for some extended period of time that is sufficiently "long-term". If the board really made sure incentives were aligned, ideally it would be some period of years after they left the company, so they could never sell while they were in a position to influence the value of shares.

But again, there is absolutely zero reason that should ever apply to someone without insider information, i.e. investors generally.
I don't understand why they don't just replace the Uber vehicle with a "normal" driver then draw conclusions from that. How much worse do they make traffic compared to a "replacement driver"?
Check out Imre Lakatos. "Falsifiability" is too strict since "every model is wrong". Lakatos calls that Popper0, which is not what Popper ever advocated.

In a nutshell:

The real thing going on is you are supposed to use Bayes' rule, where you normalize how well your explanation explains the observations ( p(H[0])p(H[0]|D) ) to the sum of all known explanations ( p(H[0:n])p(H[0:n]|D) ).

Thus if you have a vague explanation that can fit anything, it won't be much better than a million other possibilities so who cares. We only care when someone comes up with an accurate prediction that would be otherwise surprising. There are many more interesting ideas too (eg, "degenerating research programmes").

Edit:

I should also emphasize that my main point above is that there is a misuse of statistics going on though.

For your web apps / services / APIs, check Dropwizard, it is not what I would call "bleeding edge", but it provides a reasonable base and has always allowed me to easily work with the rest of the awesome JVM ecosystem. My Dropwizard projects are usually cruft/magic free, start in less than 5 seconds, consume predictable resources and is easy to reason about, troubleshoot and improve.

I used to be a big fan of Spring(-boot) with MVC, but since I tried Dropwizard I never looked back. I'd still do Spring but perhaps for non-mvc/web needs.

I agree they open more than the non-essential parts. It's worth noting that what we are currently talking about isn't an open source innovation however. It's a proprietary offering by a company that does a lot of open source: in both cases. Github opened Atom, contributes significantly to Rails, etc.
Their behavior is better than people circling endlessly looking for parking. If traffic is worse, but more people are getting the places they want to go faster, isn't that an improvement in the transportation system?
No, a crasher stage can do a flip and burn after separation, allowing the crasher stage to put itself back in orbit. And empty stage with only itself as a payload requires just a tiny amount of fuel to do this.

...and this would all be easier to reuse than the descent stage here.
So, we consider people being able to do something in a way they would much rather do it as a negative? If you have the choice between walking and an Uber, and you really want to walk, then just walk. If you have the choice between walking and walking, but you really don't want to walk, then you're worse off.
Less technical and more political. Python has a bureaucracy that can take let’s say “a while” to decide things. If GitHub approached them about this it wouldn’t surprise me if they’re still debating whether to condone it.
Bitbucket is currently lagging behind Github/Gitlab in pretty much all areas. Usability-wise, even in its most basic features, it is simply terrible at the moment. And there is no social effect whatsoever - in fact, placing your stuff on BB right now is practically a declaration that you hate talking to people. It clearly is not a priority for its new owners (Atlassian).

Not necessarily. Making car-pooling easier can reduce the numbers of cars while also making it more convenient to get places by car.

If your hosting email on a residential ISP, your gonna have a rough time. Comparatively, hosting on any of the notable VPS providers (DO, Linode, OVH, etc) has had fine deliverability in my experience, though emails may occasionally get flagged as spam.

Beyond that, the only insidious behavior I've seen has been Outlook.com hosted addresses accepting email, but then not delivering the email to the Inbox or Spam. Mysteriously, this issue disappears whenever I start going up the IT chain on the reciever's side. If the MTA is going to drop email, it should reject it rather than accept it (as otherwise the Outlook MTAs are falsely accepting mail that they will not deliver).
Gitlab's CI is really great, so if Github's Actions are at comparable, that's pretty nice.
I'd expect Google or someone comparable to buy them (you know they are already having those conversations)
Stop disruptively? What does that even mean. Do taxis also stop disruptively according to your definition?

> Uber and Lyft drivers will loop until they get a ride

I ride Uber almost every weekday twice a day. I'd say about 80% of the time the driver has their next trip queued up before my trip ends.

What Uber has done for cities is reduce the number of people who drive in to work and then spend 15 minutes looping around looking for a place to park, possibly multiple times each day.
