I am sorry if it sounds like that, as my intention was just to provide some more data while waiting for the real case feedback. Hopefully, some users will provide their personal experiences.
At my last job Gitlab was in the stack and I had never used it before so I was expecting it to be a real pain. It was actually a perfectly pleasant experience. I don't think it'll make me leave Github but I put them at the same level now.

Merge Requests never felt right saying over Pull Requests, even though it's more descriptive of what's actually happening.
At least one expert has already chimed in.
Not sure what counts as organic, but if I find a project that impresses me on github I often click through to their repos and scroll through to look for other gems. I found bottle.js that way a week ago.

I also cross reference people from Twitter if they seem smart. And I click back and forth between NPM pages and GitHub pages to see people’s work.

Some of that is pretty doable if they switched to Gitlab... except the Twitter cross reference, just because I would have to remember to search both gitlab and GitHub.
You could say exactly the same about anti-vaxxer nonsense. The lack of statistics makes it something where you can only wring your hands and say "oh, how awful" and not "yes, but..." and consider meaningful alternatives.
I like the idea of web components. But it seems like the frameworks like React are getting more and more popular despite the constant paradigm changes. It also seems like lithtml is about to be left by google. At least it seems quiet on the site.
Oh, that's cool! I'm working on a thesis project right now and we might actually run into the same situation.
I do a great job do triple overtime and get fired so they can save money it's hard to feel sorry for celebrities when us ordinaries are trashed so hard in the course of regular work why should I feel sorry for Epstein when the industry treats me as trash disposable labor it's refreshing that people are standing up for women finally.
Eh. You have a right to say what you want, but your employer has a right to not want to be associated with it...
The Navy Says Those UFO Videos Are Real
There are graceful, helpful ways to deal with accidents, and then there are awful, hostile ways.

Ideally your service provider helps you through accidents. Both sides benefit from that.
It's 40,000kg, so about 400 heavy people or a handful of elephants. Might not be fun if you're under it, but not particularly damaging to the planet.
You never have cases where you have a list of lists? Or do you introduce a pointless wrapper type for the inner lists to "hide" the generics?
It's really comical: I paused and had a chuckle when I read this sentence too.

But to everyone else who wonders: this is an interactive fiction component/library. Like classics from infocom (Zork et al), but modern.

I tried briefly playing the author's game, "Tethered" [1] but gave up quickly because after sacrificing Judith I couldn't figure out how to summon any light or move anywhere. Supposedly I'm 'working' this morning... ;)

I can’t speak for the small town in which you’ve grown up, but I feel like if anything is close-minded, it’s declaring all of rural America as having “very little to offer anyone except cheap housing, and cheap food”.
I had only very good experiences with GitHub support (on the limited number of times I actually needed it).

> GitHub has lost its way

I've been a very early adopter, and I do not have the same impression at all today.

Working with something else than GitHub is painful for me (& I'm using a number of other hosts for various clients).
In 1950 China Per capita GDP was 612$ where Ethiopia was $277.00 thus it was well past subsistence levels. Critically as I said this was post civil war which should have allowed for rapid growth in the next few years.
What is it that Rails has that Node.js doesn't?

Node.js is missing a great ORM but other than that I don't see many things missing in Node.js anymore.

There is also Rails' admin panel but most projects don't need that.
We did some light version of this in elementary school in the 80s, at least at my little public school. There was a thing we did once per six weeks for a day, where everyone brought in some unique food they (or their parents) made at home and we discussed them with some cultural background, and tasted each others' food. I can see how in the modern world there would be a lot of barriers to that (safety concerns, allergy concerns, etc).
Nothing better than having to maintain 1000 line components. I wouldn't know, but I have dumped them on other people. It made sense to me when I frantically wrote it, how bad could it be? /s

> If you take EU 17 is age of consent in all countries

There is no age of consent in France. (However there are aggravating thresholds if there was a crime: under 18 if committed by someone with authority over the victim, under 15 for other cases.)
Oh that's odd. We've been running into CC issues on our team and we were "disabled". So we had no access to our production repos but AFAIK nothing was downgraded.
It's tough to agree with you since the tech companies of today practice profoundly more uncompetitive and monopolistic practices than Microsoft ever did.
I was just about to post the same thing. Clearly a lot of companies do negative-EV blanket podcast advertising to juice their customer numbers before an IPO. Sonos was another famous example (although I like Sonos a lot). There's no way ZipRecruiter is getting payback from their insane ad spend.
Less hand waving, more real examples please Economist.
I'm talking about the SolarCity case, as well as Walmart's allegations against Tesla.

SolarCity knew that their solar panels were catching on fire. There was NO recall issued in the past years. Period.

Another note: Walmart's dealing with SolarCity (AND Tesla, post-purchase) is horrifying.

https://www.plainsite.org/dockets/40v40ia2y/supreme-court-of...

> Moreover, Tesla's wire management practices were negligent and inconsistent
with prudent industry practices. Loose and hanging wires were present at multiple Walmart
locations, resulting in abraded and exposed wires, decreased insulation, and a phenomenon
known as arcing that substantially increases the risk of fire by causing electricity to travel
through an unintended path. Tesla also failed to "ground" its systems properly, violating basic
practices for the installation and operation of electrical systems in a way that increased the risk of
electrical fire.

-------

I don't care how cheap you make your system! The fact of the matter is, SolarCity / Tesla's reputation is in tatters because of this fire incident, and Tesla management has done NOTHING to reassure its customers that they've got the fires under control.
Your statement is pretty conflicting. I'm not even sure what your point is. Are you saying Stallmam was being sensitive by downplaying rape and sexual assault? That seems pretty insensitive to me. I'd say it's a good reason for others not wanting you to represent an organization anymore.
How so? Is it false? I know I've heard similar things before - more men raped each year, counting prison, than women in the US - and considering the state of our prisons it feels reasonable.
I still do not see how it can be taken as blaming the victim. Here's the exact quote from my inbox:

> We can imagine many scenarios, but the most plausible scenario is that she presented herself to him as entirely willing.

> Assuming she was being coerced by Epstein, he would have had every reason to tell her to conceal that from most of his associates.

It's pretty clear to me that he acknowledges the victim to be a victim, who has to deal with threats and coercion __in addition to__ sexual assault. He just argued that Minsky might not have known what was going on, which has nothing to do with what the victim actually felt.

The only people who interpreted this as victim-blaming are the media outlets who straight up lie in their headlines. Here's Vice:

> Famed Computer Scientist Richard Stallman Described Epstein Victims As 'Entirely Willing'

Stallman does have a responsibility to ensure he cannot be reasonably misinterpreted, but this headline is a blatant lie.
Honestly, I've never like Stallman. I've long argued that he was a liability. The reason I'm playing devil's advocate here (I can't speak for anyone else) is that this is at least partially in response to a viral media shit-storm which at least partially misrepresented him. I've seen a lot of these happen over the years and I never like it when they happen, whether to an actor, or to tech sector person, or to a journalist, or whomever. At the very least, someone needs to play devil's advocate if only to keep us honest in our accusations. I suspect a lot of people feel this way and you're only seeing on HN because Stallman is HN relevant and most actors aren't.
What leverage does an unorganized group of nobodies have over MIT and the FSF?
That appears to be how we got rsync.

From the rsync man page:

EXAMPLES

Here are some examples of how I use rsync.

To backup my wife's home directory, which consists of large MS Word files and mail folders, I use a cron job that runs

rsync -Cavz . arvidsjaur:backup

each night over a PPP connection to a duplicate directory on my machine "arvidsjaur".
> What does this mean for Xi's leadership and the CCP?

Few days of bad mood

> Will this threaten their power?

Who will threaten his power? Han Zheng is the last Jiang loyalist in party's higher tiers, he is under extreme pressure for his handling of HK now.

I bet Xi will come out of that even more powerful, by dumping blame on whomever may oppose him.

> Does this cement the US as the leading economy for the next quarter century?

Leading economy != leading country. The negative feedback on currency will just roll Chinese companies back few years in their market outlook. Companies that were previously aiming for selling to developed economies will thing of places like South Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe and such.

> What does this mean for up and coming rivals, such as India and Vietnam?

Not much for India. India just like Russia doesn't really want joining the global economy, and the impediment comes from within.

For Vietnam... good times to come. And for whomever will be working as fixers, bringing Western companies there.

But there is a big BUT. The moment Vietnam will get up on the economic ladder, there is a certain chance US or somebody else will try to pull the same tariff hike on them.

> How will this effect China's middle class?

Chinese middle class largely works in service sector, and that depends near solely on internal demand.

> Will we see an increase in Chinese expats?

Sure, there is always a knee jerk reaction among Chinese rich to any new wave of doomsayers.

When I was living in Vancouver I met quite a few rich Chinese. One of whom was an owner of the 4th largest scrap metal company in China. He sold his business at an insane 60% discount, and ran to Canada the moment he read "Chinese steel bubble is about to pop" in an "esteemed Western publication" in 2010.

The last time I checked on him, he was still living a nice rentier life with 3 houses in Vancouver, but was super cringy about him selling so low, and trusting random rags for making a once in a lifetime decision.

Near same was the case with 3 factory owners. Two had electronic factories, and one did clothing. You can still argue about one with clothing business making a correct decision closing the shop, but for two electronics factory owner, the decision to close their businesses made zero sense.

I asked them separately why they exchanged life in Canada for untold millions to come. None was able to give an answer, saying simply they don't understand their own rationale back then.

To them, people of peasant background, life in the West looked as something near mythical. They grew up thinking that "getting to the West" was something like a once in a lifetime chance, something what exceeds just anything on the list of ones personal achievements. To such people, parting with a few million buck a year business for a house in Vancouver and steady life genuinely looks like a good deal.

The new generation of entrepreneurs of course don't hold the West in such esteem, and some actually thing of it with some degree of contempt.
"what is already well known and understood via Chemistry, and sure some of that is inherently just fronting quantum mechanics behind the scenes."

This is actually my main point. I'm not intending to reduce or dismiss (bio)chem through the lens of applied physics. I'm saying that anyone competent in biochem understands these properties on an intuitive level, and further understands that the root of these systems' behavior lies in quantum mechanics, even if they're not crunching wave equations on a daily basis. (That said, discussing s and p orbitals are a pretty routine part of figuring out organic reaction mechanisms.)

The field considers the quantum effects on these systems as a matter of course - as with your example about ion channel flow and caveats on bulk properties versus a single ion. There's still no question that quantum mechanics affects these systems, it's just a question of when it needs to be factored in to not throw off the calculations, and when the scale is large enough that its effects can be considered negligible.
Ive never heard of this either. Yes, they use your data to offer you cards and they get a kickback for you signing up, but data mining?
It's not punishment. The "most plausible scenario" is that he resigned "fully willingly".
Compare to the constantly expanding massive subways of Tokyo, Beijing, Shanghai, building the subway in sinking Jakarta, etc. After looking to these Crossrail is not that big and complex.
In the US at least almost all 4G is LTE. Sometimes I'll see mine drop to HSPA, but rarely.
> Amazon allegedly spent “years” deciding whether or not to do this, which is definitely not “high-velocity decision making”.

To be fair, the reality could be closer to "we decided not to do this at high velocity numerous times over the years"
Hm - honestly, I'd wonder about the motivations of the sort of person who signs up for that type of job. Especially the ones who are saying "no, no, no need for automation, we have to look at each image individually..."
> the scientists behind the project say they don’t fully understand how things will change for future generations.

This should be illegal. We as a global civilization are not anywhere near close to the point where we can begin terra-forming flora or fauna with the expectation of a direct increase to quality of life, no one can yet predict the amount of variables altered or impact their changes have on the biosphere. And I directly recall reading many articles on how our antibacterials will soon stop functioning efficiently because resistant bacteria will have more opportunity to multiply, I assumed the same principles apply to bugs like roaches and mosquitoes, but seems that wasn't factored in here..
A cynic might note that they're essentially selling pickaxes in the gold rush, so would be expected to do well in a tech bubble, even when their customers aren't :)
Every single success I have right now is due to my wife's support. She is my partner in everything. When I worked at a startup, she suffered. When I am successful in something it's because she's there sacrificing with me. The reason that Bill has a flat line in marriage is because of his relationship with his wife.

Do you think he could have taken that hate without her support? Do you think she didn't feel awful because of the change it brought in her husband?

An equal and supportive marriage means that every sacrifice is made together. Don't trivialize how much she took on even though she wasn't the "face" of the company.

You're making marriage into a "competition" and it's not. It's two people working at a team, and no not every marriage is like that, my hope is that Bill and Melinda have that sort of marriage.
She's not an entrepreneur by any stretch of the imagination.

The IT department moves in mysterious ways, its wonders to perform.

I think we moved from Slack to Mattermost because our infosec people weren't happy about Slack's handling of our data; there's a line in an email about "discussions with Slack over the past year regarding their data security and AI initiatives". But then Slack sorted that out to infosec's satisfaction, so we moved back, because running your own Mattermost installation is more of a hassle than paying Slack to do the equivalent.

I guess we disagree both on that this article was misleading and that Equifax doesn't deserve the blame.

Equifax had a lot of say in how this settlement played out. My guess is their legal team is trying to reduce the number of cash claimants so they don't get the bad press when $.02 checks get mailed out--or there's some other benefit in adding more steps to this silly process. Their legal team is representing their interests. Drawing attention reduces the likelihood this happens in future settlements. Focusing it on Equifax makes the story way more clear.

Saying "Equifax Data Breach Settlement Administrator" (taken from equifaxbreachsettlement.com) instead of "Equifax settlement team" (used in the article) doesn't seem appreciably different.
great read , say is your revenue is from ads only ?
So does Apple.
I imagine arresting the Equifax Board of Directors, or similar, would have only have the effect of forcing security breaches back underground.
When you say "right", you need to distinguish between "accurate" and "reasonable". The OP has correctly described Amazon's approach to commingling (claimed) SKU's. And you have correctly concluded that policy is likely to lead to bad outcomes for both buyers and sellers. Whether it's a bad policy for Amazon as a corporation remains to be seen.
"What if the answer is to kill social-media-as-we-know-it?"

I know someone who was fine until he had to help select/edit news footage (unfiltered audio/video footage of wars etc) for the BBC. After a few months he needed counseling for intrusive images, lack of sleep, depression. So, no news either?
The goal(at some point) is to order something on a whim, at work, and have it waiting for you as you get home.

Or order something at night, and have it waiting for you when you wake up.

Is this luxury ? sure.

But they also give you a certain feeling of power.people crave power.

And less uncertainty, on those 2 days of waiting. And people dislike uncertainty.

And with delivery robots on the way - the price difference between 1-day and 2-day might be pretty small.
Equifax should have been flat out shut down and liquidated.
He was in a leadership position for a long time while also having very poor soft skills. His value was primarily symbolic, and that symbolism has been pretty much destroyed at this point.

He could try to rebuild his career, but he is 66 so unlikely he will try.
It definitely used to be. I think it tailed off when it turned out they were attempting to throw stones from inside a glass house.
Reading through the comments I'm honestly a bit torn on the outcome for Stallman. Like most here, I think we are too quick to exile people for off color remarks. On the other hand, this isn't the first time Stallman has done something embarrassing, and given his relationship to this guy he should have been smart enough to just keep quiet. He's not just some programmer; he's a representative of MIT and the FSF. I understand why they want to disassociate themselves from him.

Far from it, plenty of staunchly liberal people use the acronym SJW. Getting riled up by the term is analogous to people on the right objecting to "white privilege" and complain that it's categorically dismissing white people's opinions.

The bigger irony is that your comment claims that the term is used to categorically dismiss people, while simultaneously categorically dismissing the above poster's commeent.

Yeah, but what is mind-boggling is not so much his comments but the content of the Guardian article itself:

> A Dutch study published in 1987 found that a sample of boys in paedophilic relationships felt positively about them. And a major if still controversial 1998-2000 meta-study suggests – as J Michael Bailey of Northwestern University, Chicago, says – that such relationships, entered into voluntarily, are "nearly uncorrelated with undesirable outcomes".

> Most people find that idea impossible. But writing last year in the peer-reviewed Archives of Sexual Behaviour, Bailey said that while he also found the notion "disturbing", he was forced to recognise that "persuasive evidence for the harmfulness of paedophilic relationships does not yet exist".

I find even thinking about these things disgusting, but if we want to be fair, he just repeated what the article says. If the SWJs feel outraged (why now? his page has been public for decades), they should attack the scientists who presented the findings of these studies.
> While I personally wouldn't feel much better about a friend having sex with someone a third their age even if that person is an adult

Why, if it is 2 consenting adults? As I said in another comment, some people are into BDSM, tentacle stuff, toys, etc. If they're both into it and happy, it's none of my business.

This agist view towards sex that you are prescribing is certainly no better than someone who would stop being friends with someone because they found out that their friend is gay.
The irony is to see the SJW movement spiraling out of control. I was reading an article of Stallman's on how to name a non-gendered individual where he proposes all kind of fake pronouns and goes on and on as if it was a new fusion reactor technology he was working on. He's not Chomsky I tell you that.

The thing with him is that people were just so frigging fed up and didn't know what to find to get rid of his ass. One day, he decided to write about the moral definition of rape, the next day he was out :D No need to be a Stallman-level genius to see what happened, he could finally be fired without all the frigging free software extremists yelling censorship... Stallman is now the SJW devil incarnate ahah
It seems no one is happy except me

That sounds ok to me. You're only responsible for your own happiness.
I can't imagine Aliexpress is that big an impact on China's economy. The bulk of orders, yes, the bulk of sales, no.
Yeah, that's not even remotely true.

Have you ever worked with a PR firm or talked to folks that work at one. Have you ever worked at a large company, or talked to people who manage social media at one? They are very far from this level of coordination. Most can't even manage to deploy a properly measured ad campaign, much less some kind of op sec driven Reddit content campaign.

The same is true in the USA, sex trafficking is always illegal, but the additional charge of rape will be added if the provider is under 18. Think of it as an add-on that makes the crime worse.

This whole thread has gotten side tracked on statutory rape, when in reality the criminal charges hinge on sex trafficking with age only as a modifier.
This is very interesting, as means of finding talent before its larger competitors do. The discussion about how Google has a “deep bench” to deal with shifting and departures seems to apply here conceptually.
