Hi. GitLab PM here. I'm really sorry that this is your experience. Can you point me to this policy? I would like to propose a change to it given that's not reflective of how most teams do planning and prioritization.

We care very much about support issues, regularly prioritize a large portion of each release to addressing them, and can not do it effectively without ongoing involvement and feedback from the wider community.

I will say that it is sometimes hard to separate the signal from the noise, given my team currently has 3k+ open issues. Please ping me (@gweaver) on issues that are relevant to you and I'll do my best to provide a status update / more information or bring in the relevant PM who can.
Yeah, if he has a history of saying things like that, it's a much more understandable reaction.

However, as a university it still seems like dangerous territory. I think communists are just as sickening, in light of the horrors of the twentieth century. Should I fire them if I'm making those decisions at MIT. Like if a professor said the gulags are a worthwhile evil on the road to socialist utopia? Is it really necessary to end a person's career when you disagree with them on matters unrelated to their work?
I wasn't writing about this specific case so much as commenting on the fact that cops are far more likely to be nervous and twitchy in the US because of the very real threat that the prevalence of arms represents. Re-run a scenario 100 times and the more nervous people are, the more bad things will happen in some % of cases.

Cops aren't saints in Italy where I lived for many years, not by a long shot. And yet this stuff happens less.
I found that the hardest part of cold applications was identifying companies. In any major city you can probably think of 20 companies off the top of your head that exist there. Fewer with your expertise or interests in mind, fewer that are currently hiring.
Additionally, identifying companies (without references or a network to pull on) for job search is a labor intensive and often boring process.

Since I would rather be "always learning" it is far more fun to watch technical talks at conferences and track any company that sponsors a speech I enjoy. I am doing this constantly (not just during active job search).

Since it is the norm for technical conferences to post to youtube, this strategy only costs time.

When you have a list of companies large enough, then it is easier to find competitors or get appropriate suggestions from networking platforms like linkedin.

I never track large or obvious companies, because I probably already know their name.

Now I've been in the field long enough to pull on my network, but don't really find it necessary. I have a list of 300+ companies that I can pull on reflecting my interests/expertise at different points in my career.

The only downside to this is it doesn't usually grow proportional to your geographical region, but there are ways to bias your results with other strategies.

I might have come across this without HN, but it definitely would have happened later. People post things that interest them on HN, and I find things interesting that others do.
I don't see any reason why they could not teach all of those. It's a bit like saying that you should learn English instead of your mother tongue (assuming that's not English). There is utility in knowing more than just a few things because they have commercial value or immediate use.
So cool a space to be celebrating their 10yr.
If releases are painful, then something is wrong with your development cycle and deployment process. If you spend the effort to make it painless, then it makes no difference whether releases are 6 weeks or 4 weeks.

Of course, you need an extensive battery of unit tests and integration tests, and lots of user testing in beta. But actually if you're only deploying smaller self-contained changes then there's less moving parts at any given time. You'll have stronger guarantees of less interactions.
There are also some people who have tried to make the argument that the 3rd amendment could protect privacy as well.

Little tip....

You should ensure your HN username doesnt show up with a background check on a google search because when I do that and I see comments like this you dont get a job.
sorry, not currently. I should have added that option. By now please send an email to contact@bytevitae.com and I will delete it for you. Sorry for that.
Seven of the eleven prosecutions under the act since its passing in 1917. It was intended to be a rare power. We shouldn't try to diminish that.

That administration also grossly misused their Section 702 powers passed with the 2008 FISA ammendments as well. https://www.newamerica.org/oti/blog/history-fisa-section-702...
Edward Snowden showed us that the NSA can and does access our webcams remotely. So they are watching you even when you don't know your data is leaving your house.
Given the way SWAT currently seems to work, you should know that a fake SWAT call is going to cause serious harm up to and including death, in which case 15 months is far too little. It is up there with “lock someone in a cage with a lion”; sure, technically you didn’t kill them but you knew they would die because of your actions so what is the difference?

Also, let us take a serious look at every other charge in existence in cases like this. If 15 months is the sentence for something resulting in death, every other lesser offence should be capped at 15 months. Illegally voted? Caught with drugs? Why are those things “5 years” then?

Finally, clearly SWAT itself needs reform. If you’re going to pack a dozen armed guys in a truck and drive over to somebody’s house to blast down the door, YOU NEED a system of double-checks and triple-checks to assess the damned situation first! Given such checks, it should be literally impossible to assault someone that is not actually a threat.

I feel the same when I see Gitlab posts on HN, always seems to be a lot of apologetic behaviour after the fact, it’s a bit cringe worthy.

I don’t see it from competitors nor do I see the long string of terrible complaints, handle your business in advance this doesn’t have to happen.
Can you point an originalist to the constitutional clause or amendment that grants such a right?
> should the state implement mental health screening for police officers?

Yes, for a very good reason. Currently, incentives are such that police are rewarded with long careers and large pensions for avoiding mental healthcare.

Despite having excellent access to healthcare, police notoriously avoid accessing any type of mental health resources. They're afraid that they'll lose their jobs for it, which makes sense.

A cop's testimony is pivotal to most criminal cases, and if it is called into question because of the cop's mental health status, that can be a liability. Many places have strict policies concerning mental health and policing, as well.

It's absolutely necessary that the state implements mental health screening for police officers, because they refuse to implement it themselves.
A faster release cycle done right mean fewer features are added per release -- you are releasing 4 weeks of engineering work instead of 8 weeks or whatever. This can make bugs less likely if done right. It also makes it a lot easier to react quickly to bugs that do get released, and if you have to roll back you are rolling back fewer new features.
Is you site down? I am unable to access it right now.
Don't be overly pedantic, verbal attacks are a thing.
Let's assume he's on the spectrum for the sake of argument. If you miss some indirect signals, that's one thing - but when you're explicitly told specific behaviors are inappropriate, and you keep doing them anyway, being on the spectrum is not a defense.

A few comments up I admitted that I'm torn on how he was ousted as well because I, like you, am not a fan of outrage culture and exiling people who make a remark someone else may find offensive.

That said, I don't think it's reasonable to have this discussion about RMS in a bubble, pretending as if he's never done anything else to contribute to what happened.
If I entrust data to Google, or my possessions to the safe of a bank, I am still injured when that trust is broken. I gave conditional access to one entity, not to everyone, and not to the government.
What China really wants is Hong Kong’s reputation. They want to take over the city and wish for all those pesky Hong Kong people to leave.

They think by doing so they can continue to uses the reputation that Hk has build over the years to do business globally. At least that’s they impression I am getting.
Doctors. And by extension: their patients too.
Are there any sources you can cite on this? I've never heard of HR chucking resumes because they have a headshot of the person. If companies are that paranoid about bias, I'd think they'd go as far as to never use LinkedIn.
GDP growth rate is reported after subtracting inflation, but the GDP number itself does not subtract inflation.

If you have a GDP of $1 trillion, 2% inflation and 3% GDP growth, you'll have a GDP of $1.05 trillion after 1 year.

I have a very bleak outlook on coding after moving to the bay. The companies that win and get big do not put stock in writing good code. They want to move fast so they can beat people in the market. So you end up valuing people who can do whatever it takes to scale and keep things working while ignoring your tech debt until you’re so big you can just hire 20k engineers to clean the mess up over the next two decades.

With this approach young engineers learn that clean code and everything people like Martin Fowler have been saying isn’t going to get them promoted. So people learn bad practices and we all get collectively worse at coding.

I’ve spent so much energy trying to get people to care about code quality and qualitative improvements, but at the end of the day the people who got these companies were they are can just say there method works and there’s no proof it would have gone better with better code or that they would have survived at all.
Not trying to plug Andrew Yang here, but this is a big part of his platform. He's advocating for a right-to-data bill that would make any and all data collected and transmitted yours.

If that goes into place, your data immediately becomes subject to these amendments. It does away with some of the legal grey area that surrounds data.
This is one of the most important points to me, and I rarely see it discussed. Defenders of killings by police usually point to the officer's feelings of safety and right to defend themselves using what seem to be the same standards as any average civilian. If you gave me a gun and put me in a dangerous situation I might pull the trigger when I didn't absolutely need to out of fear, and it might be totally reasonable for me to do that. That's why I'm not a police officer. We have a profession where part of the job description involves the possibility of shooting civilians to death, and we are somehow unable or unwilling to get tough and establish a bar of professionalism commensurate with such an extraordinary job description.
Yes, but (frustratingly) it is not illegal within the US jurisdiction for the US government to violate a non-US person's privacy. The US constitution's bill of rights only protects americans.

Hence why the key point is that the US intelligence agencies spied on US citizens without warrants. I agree that they shouldn't be spying on anyone in this way (get a warrant!), but spying on US citizens in this way is super duper illegal, and therefore most clearly shows that the program itself was illegal.
I'm on a large corporate network right now and I get responses back from `ping www.google.com`.

But also this technique doesn't depend on ICMP that is just what the example happens to use. Pwnat itself uses only UDP for outgoing requests.
How much more apocalyptic can you get? Do you think painting an apocalyptic picture and then blaming some parts of the population on the bad parts of your picture will do anything good?
It absolutely is. That's what we do at company I work for. We use free gitlab mintues and when it runs out we use runner running on one of our own local machines.
The law has been set to prevent children from being taken advantage of by adults. Being capable of making the decision and being able to make the decision properly are two different things - the law is there to protect you even when you don't think you need it. At 17 I didn't think a lot of things were good for me. It would have been easy for someone to trick me into doing something I shouldn't - that benefits them way more than it does me. What you are suggesting is that we should be okay with this. The law, precedent, and public opinion all disagree with you.

This article for me fails to provide the number one key comparison why I use wordpress. The availability of plugins for nearly everything, almost always free. The community aspect is the most important factor for most people selecting wordpress I feel. Especially in the non-commercial context.

WordPress gives me the perfect mix of control and easy extensions on demand, without effort.

As you've said: done right.

Done poorly, or even in a mediocre fashion, and we've got more half-baked features and insufficiently-tested changes.

Now, which scenario is more likely?
He didn't pay him. The guy did it for free because the kid didn't believe anything would happen. He said he loves to do it for free when people don't believe anything will happen.

The guy got 20 years. When he was in the temporary holding jail he gained access to the internet and was still tweeting about swatting people. This was BEFORE his sentencing. Absolutely moronic and showed zero remorse.
Would you still need a lawyer if you went to small claims court? Or would that be extortion?
Yeah, pretty much every part of this was mishandled.

With all the blame being placed on the person who placed the call, I don't have any faith that this same situation won't be repeated in the future either.
Why is that worse than corporate governance over communication via email or other instant messaging?
He's broken the law in more than one ways. Regardless of his motives, he broke the law. We can't expect to hold Trump or anyone else accountable if we cannot hold responsible those who are entrusted to protect confidential information.
TalkScript Podcast Episode 45: Declaration – CSS, Music, Components
When I first got on the internet 20 years ago, moderators were all teens, too. But I didn't notice because I was also a teenager. Then I grew up, and those mods for too, and we all went on to different things. Going back to the forums, it's just a different set of teens. It was always immature. What changed was that I matured.
It did: https://stallman.org/archives/2019-jul-oct.html#14_September...

It looks like it was just an ignorant thought from a decade ago that had long since been corrected. Not a strongly-held viewpoint.
You can also do this with Buildkite without having to drag along the rest of the cruft that is GitLab. It’s free for individuals, if I recall.

> Almost certainly, the video glosses over (read: ignores) the likely fact that the 47.2bn is over that 15 year average, and the 3.4bn is over the 15 month average, so this doesn't necessarily represent a shortfall in the long term.

$47.2bn/15 yrs = $3.15bn/yr lease obligation
$3.4bh/1.25 yrs = $2.72bn/yr lease revenue

So, if they can manage to continue leases at their current rate, they'll be losing $400m/yr.
"Well, as it turns out, your Hollywood career promptly ended and you were blacklisted by every studio for saying, in the middle of the 50s Red Scare, that Karl Marx had some good ideas about the sociology of capital. But a court ruled that none of that treatment violated the First Amendment, therefore no one is allowed to be worried or have any negative emotion about what happened you, and hence no one's speech could have been chilled into silence by those events."
I played this at PAX West and it was a blast! The developer is very friendly and a pleasure to talk to.
IANAL, nor have I read the NDA's (I'm hoping they will be publicly released as part of discovery) but I doubt NDA's with either the NSA or CIA will have an expiry date.

A breach of contract on the plaintiff's side could but not necessarily will nullify the NDA.

The best outcome for Snowden I think would be if he can demonstrate a greater good, IE: that breaking this contract prevents a larger crime, that would be up to the court to decide.

I find it interesting to see that the DOJ is not trying to prevent publication, just trying to intercept financial gains based on the premise that he didn't submit copy for review. At this point they are not claiming that he is actually publishing any confidential material.

Somehow I doubt Snowden's main motivation for publishing this book is financial, so I don't know if this will hurt him much..
Honestly, with bountysource and all that, I'm not too upset with the state of things. The way I see it is that you're just free agents acting in a universe with other agents. It is valuable to make open-source software because other agents will also share those with you. If someone wants a support contract or wants a one-off fix it's going to cost some amount but I'm not going to sweat my balls over trying to make it for them without money.

I'm not going to hide any software I write from big companies. They can take if they so desire so long as they adhere by the licence. The magic of software is that this community has realized the incredible value humanity can realize by open collaboration, value we realize personally. So I don't really care that the Internet relies on people working for free. It's like the government kinda relies on my reporting a pothole to fix it. But I get a fixed pothole out of it, so we gucci. It doesn't matter if someone gets more value out of it if I get sufficient value out of it. I'm all for chasing Pareto improvements to my life.

When I really really want something I take a risk to get it with money, like when I had to go fund a tiny piece of `neovim` in the beginning or when I fund a Kickstarter thing.
of course, these people pay a lot of the taxes. the rich don't, and poor just don't have the money to pay.

Can I just rant for 5 minutes about how the majority of the time when I pull up social media and open a trending topic or what have you, 90% of the posts are just people trying to come up with the perfect reaction gif and zinger. I often just close the page without ever knowing what happened, but just seeing the same five images trying to be forced into the same melodramatic reaction joke over and over.

No I really don't need to see the universe mind exploding guy in response to a story about some minor medical survey again. It's been done, thanks.
The government generally can't restrict publication in the US no matter what is being published: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prior_restraint

But once something is published, they can take action against the publisher/author.
GitLab employee here.

Yes - if you bring your own runner to GitLab.com you can run unlimited build minutes on it - the build minutes we count are only those on our shared compute (2000 minutes for free, etc.).

The other huge benefit is that you can put that runner behind your firewall without poking any holes - itbjust needs access to GitLab.com and it can run your builds.
But was it illegal? And how would you know that such a warrant didn't actually exist in a court, particularly the FISA court?

It's possible that with FISA, everything under the so called warrantless wiretap program might be legal -- you just don't have access to prove it is.
Wow, that "Inbuencity" bug is a weird one O_o, just tried it myself and same happens. Don't even know how it is possible, something about the font maybe?

Open source represents open source contributions (aka repos).

Well that looks cool and apparently its spot on!
Stallman has pissed off enough people and has been misogynist and creepy to too many people to get away with such stuff, he only has himself to blame. As for Minsky, if you have to rely on your creepy friends to come to your posthumous aid then it would be better if those friends kept to themselves. Minsky does not need this kind of defense. Stallman's misguided crappy little piece got tons more airtime than the statement by AN EYEWITNESS that the whole thing did not happen. As a result Minsky is now forever tainted as though this is an established fact when in fact it is anything but.
And the really scary thing is that anything above +8℃ has a very real chance of flipping the planet into a Venus Scenario.
Recent work has shown that the Earth sits at the very inner edge of the solar system’s habitable zone. As the sun has aged across billions of years and burned through its fuel, it has heated up and moved the zone outward. As such, the planet could have had higher greenhouse gas levels in the past with life still surviving, but it cannot have such levels now without life dying and the planet becoming a second Venus.
At +8℃, equatorial cloud cover becomes impossible to generate, and the amount of oceanic heating accelerates. Methyl Hydrates begin boiling off everywhere, and it becomes too hot to live between the 60th parallels - humanity (or what’s left of it) must pack itself around the poles to survive. At some point, the amount of greenhouse gas creation exceeds the ability of life to counteract said gases, and things heat up until all life on the planet dies.
