The problem with Gitlab is that in the current state it is a dead product walking. Its existence is entirely based on VC FOMO. It has no enterprise growth to justify company valuation. And it won't have real enterprise growth either.

Github had to be acquired my MSFT because it had no path for real enterprise growth if it could not lean on an organization that already sold a pile of services and products in similar or complimentary space. MSFT was the only strategic buyer of Git hosting company. MSFT is the only circus that could use that monkey to fill the gap in its product line up. Of course it picked Github rather than Gitlab. Which is why Github would be incredibly successful, which in turn means that Gitlab in its current state won't be. Hence they would have to massively change the product to justify valuations. It would be interesting to watch.

SourceHut is in the exact position Gitlab was before VC FOMO. It can provide decent service that people and companies will pay for but they would never get a billion dollar value. As long as it works for them, it will work out just fine. I wish them well.
"Use tor for everything" is a bad answer, because the question specifically said "I'd really like to be able to access [...] everything else directly as usual"

"Use tor for everything" might be good life advice, but it's not a good answer for "how do I avoid using tor for everything" :P
His software is fantastic and he's an exceptional engineer. But I also personally know people that were turned off of Sourcehut because of the way he interacts with the community in some cases. When your project is a one man (now two) show, that kind of thing matters a lot.
I think something that needs to happen isn't just to legalize it, that's just a small first step, the more impactful one would be to moralize it, make it normal and acceptable, remove all stigma around it.

If you did the latter, you would change the market for it, and open up the door for non exploited workers in the field.

When others give you strange looks, when families disavow you, when people demonize you, shout you names, refuse you work in other fields, look at you with disdain and pity, etc.. It's no wonder the only people who still go through with getting in the field are exploited. Why would anyone do it otherwise? Making it legal doesn't change that.

And that goes for the customer base as well. The stigma is high, so who ends up being the target market? A bad crowd of people, that's what. The people who aren't affected by the stigma of seeking sex and drugs for money. And again, that doesn't change by making it legal.

Yeah, I found it very amusing that this thing concluded I was highly republican. First, I am not from the USA, second I am strongly for social programs/socialist, and third, current USA republicans amuse me (in that, what they are doing is funny to see from outside).
I do agree with you completely and HN is an awesome platform which I solely use as my main portal to the Internet even to not tech related things (to search for a training routine as an example).

It's hard to trust VC backed enterprises nowadays because even if founder is nice it is pretty challenging to go against investors. It's not asways a bad thing because it creates many opportunities for us, small/solo companies, when we can exist to provice stellar services for our customers.

Most of QT is LPGL.

A few points I saw:

Pg. 8: Alzheimer's Disease caused deaths for both males and females increased a fair bit! And for males, Unintentional Deaths also increased recently. Note that the Y-axis is in a LOG scale; any movement upwards is a lot.

Pg. 10: Yeah, Juul and the like really are hurting children. Grades 2 & 3 Obesity are increasing too. Both are not good.

Pg. 11: Asthma in black children has gone up a fair amount.

Pg. 14: West Coast and Virginian essential vaccination is under 2/3 babies (3 years or younger). That is WELL below herd immunity. New England, Deep South, and Plains states are above 3/4.

Pg. 21: Ages 15-44 have seen an uptick in mortality. Note: The y-axis is in LOG scale, so it's been a fair bit of an uptick.

Pg. 22: A big uptick in infant mortality due to unintentional injuries.

Pg. 23: ... Jesus ... a huge increase in child suicide rates and an increase in teen homicide and suicide rates. Note: The y-axis is in LOG scale.

Pg. 24: HIV deaths are WAY down (!), unintentional injuries and liver cirrhosis are up.

Pg. 25: Alzheimer's deaths in the elderly are up a fair amount.

pg. 26: Holy shit ... overdose rates are just ... wow ...

pg. 27: Appalachia and New England ... good Lord ... I mean, you hear things about it all, but wow.

pg. 29: Cirrhosis deaths in middle aged men are really climbing. The booze, it ain't good.

Aside: On the increases in 'unintentional death'. I get a whiff of the issues that Colorado Springs had with their teen suicide cell a few years back. The coroner, in deference to the religious families of the deceased, would label the deaths not as a suicide, but as something different. The problem became that since these deaths were not recorded properly, CDC officials were not alerted and the suicide cell was allowed to fester. There were a lot of kids that died as a result of that. The increase in 'unintentional deaths' may be something similar, where the coroners are recording the deaths in deference to the wishes of the family. I've not a shred of proof on this, but I get a strong smell of it from causally looking at the data.
I posted it for three reasons:

- directly related to another huge topic

I have a boy that is soon to be three years old. I enjoyed my life before I became a father, and I enjoy it even more now. I like my work, but I always look forward to leaving early and pick him up from daycare and spend the rest of the afternoon together with him. And he’s the best things with my weekends.

Of course I don’t train as much as I used too. And most of my old hobbies are on hold for a couple of years. But I haven’t regretted a second that we got a child.
Businesses say that taxes make a huge impact because they don't like paying taxes.

But they do business where they need/want to do business, regardless of the tax situation. Complaining about taxes is just an attempt at leverage to get tax rebates/concessions/exemptions/etc or to structure the final holding company in a way that artificially shields profits so the executives can pay themselves larger salaries and bonuses.

Source: I was a former tax/legal advisor for a number of multinational companies. Out of a few hundred tax structurings, I can count on one hand the number of times that tax rate differentials affected material operational decisions.

Spivak's Calculus.

It's "just" calculus... but it's also everything else leading up to it.

It's a wonderful book, written in a very engaging style, and it shows you how mathematicians think and how they play. It shows you why we have proofs, why things go wrong, and all that had to happen before we came up with a definition of derivatives and integrals that we're happy with (and of course, all of the things we can do with our newfound definitions).
Simple economics: expensive legal prescription drugs drives people to source cheaper alternatives. Unfortunately, the cheaper alternative is also much more lethal.

Don't use plaintext, use LaTeX. Since paragraphs are separated by an empty line, you can have each sentence on a separate in a paragraph on a separate line and have it still formatted as a paragraph in the final document. This allows for better diffs. Here is an example:

Score voting? Is that how they're calling it now?

However it is called, there are many reasons for why it is so bad, but they all boil to one point: it's asking voters for information they do not have while ignoring the human realities of the vote. As we code monkeys say: GIGO.

99% of humanity doesn't have a 'Score' for politicians* , but the reality of the vote is that whatever choice the voter has, the voter can push effectively by giving min/max scores - or at least is very likely to think it can be helpful, and feel guilty when they don't do it - imagine losing an election because you merely gave your preferred candidate an 8!

A Range Voting election where everyone gives min/max scores de facto may look mathematically identical to Approval Voting, but it is far worse in reality.

That's because voters will then convince themselves their choice is deserved - their politician is a 10 and the other is a 0, an enemy. The problem in other words is that voters will mostly not partially abstain, but be pushed into a false polarization beyond what is useful for society. Psychology, not math.

There are other points, but this message is long enough. TL;DR: "Score" voting is the triumph of mathematically optimized voting methods that ignores too many human considerations.

But look, I am willing to go half way: Approval voting is a perfectly good method and I can accept Borda. Both are strictly better than the current method even according to the weird measurement "The Center for Range Voting" uses. Approval can even be seen as a (sane) version of RV, so there's no reason at all for the center to object.

* Oh, and the 1% who actually has a score? That's almost worse, because these scores are nearly always the compilation of single issue organizations which tend towards the extremes and never look at circumstances.
Personally, I have vi mode enabled for anything that uses readline. Some of my friends, though, have been reluctant to use it since the prompt doesn't indicate which mode it's currently in.

But... That changed with recent versions of readline, which introduced 'show-mode-in-prompt' [0]. It's somewhat limited - it only prints an indicator at the beginning of the last row of the prompt. You can, however, change what text is displayed. I use it to emit escape codes that change the shape of the cursor (similar to vim itself) [1].

of course they did! Ring's PR strategy heavily involves law enforcement: they feed LE juicy surveillance in order to get softball quotes that play on people's insecurity about how infrequent crime actually is, thus increasing their incentive to buy Ring stuff, increasing Ring's market share, surveillance collection potential, and making law enforcement more and more supportive.

getting a permanently funded government agency as an advocate for your thing is a great startup play: you'll easily crush competitors and roll your way into an enshrined monopoly because "we cannot possibly lose this valuable tool against criminals everywhere"
Fifteen years ago, one of the Microsoft fanboy arguments against both Linux and LibreOffice (then OpenOffice.org) was that neither worked exactly like Windows / Office.

Then Microsoft comes along and changes everything. The Ribbon instead of the pull down menus. Now which office suite works more like what users have used for a couple decades?

Windows 8 comes along with a totally different UI. So different that ordinary users don't know how to do the most basic tasks like print, or even how to shut down the computer.

Windows 8 UI (no matter what you call it) "fixes" things by adding back a start menu, but not calling it start.

No search box in the start menu -- you just have to magically know that you can start typing.

And magical key combinations to type in commands.

IMO, it really is change for the sake of change. And generally change for the worse. The interface we had with classic Mac, and Win 95 was pretty usable. And stable. (Nevermind the underlying tech it ran on top of, no real kernel, etc.)

First, it should be emphasized that no warrant or even probable cause seems needed for LE to obtain video from Amazon directly when a customer refuses or ignores a request.[1] Secondly, there is valid reason for concern if a customer declines compliance and is identified/profiled as a result.

This absolutely is bad for San Francisco. South San Francisco is building lots and lots of offices, but not building nearly as many homes. While San Francisco is harmfully negligent at building homes, it is at least building more than its (painfully low-ball) estimated need for high-priced housing. The rest of the peninsula isn’t even building that much. All the counties are far behind at building less-fancy housing.

The effect of moving these high-income jobs to San Mateo County is that Stripe employees will now live in San Francisco and commute to San Mateo, increasing the pressure to gentrify communities near the transit infrastructure, while freeing Stripe’s former office space for another high-tech company that can make even more profit per employee.
After Github started being kinda gross, we were trying to decide between switching to Gitlab hosted or going self-hosted. Self-hosted was a pain but turns out it was a good choice. I'm sad to see Gitlab going down downhill like their predecessors.

It seems completely absurd to me to blame the Chinese for fentanyl use in the US. Comparing it to the opium war is even more ludicrous.

Where there is a black market, criminals (of any nationality) will step in to fill the void.

If you want someone to blame, I'd suggest looking a lot closer to home: pharmaceutical companies made false claims about the addictiveness of their opioid drugs, as well as about the duration of effect of their extended release variants; many US doctors and dentists were prescribing large quantities of opioids where paracetamol/ibuprofen would have been more suitable; and of course there is decades of futile and harmful US drug policy.
I'm not sure what customer service policy is about telling customers but in store at least we definetely had a notes section of every account with breakdowns of what internal usernames accessed the accounts and when.

Yep. I don't mind Ghost or Automattic charging so much for managed hosting. That also pays for development. I don't want to assume other managed hosts charging more for WordPress without doing anything more is just greed, but it has the look.

That's why I want Ghost to offer a lower tier. That way I could get started at a price I can afford where I'm at, support the development of Ghost, and have an easy upgrade path if I need it. It's the curve, not the price, that I don't like.
These frameworks should be architected to support async/await scenarios natively instead of all these convoluted workarounds. Promises/async have ben around long enough.

EDIT: JS is already dynamic. If a function returns a promise then it should be awaited and render blank or nothing in the vdom. This is obvious, except in JS where architecture prefers synchronous-only design with async being an afterthought.

I think this is where Apple's walled-garden approach is actively harming the growth and resilience of their operating system.

Unlike GNU/Linux, only Apple's in-company devs get to work on the proprietary code base, to build features based on a small number of decision-makers, and test them before release. Questionable decisions in the core don't get questioned by a wider community of devs before they get released to the public.

In Jobs' days, this approach might have worked better due to (maybe smaller code base and) higher quality and dedication of their internal dev teams.

Open-sourcing macOS maybe wishful thinking, but it's not an unreasonable idea, considering it's not their main money-maker (anymore?). In my opinion, this would vastly improve its future development, active participation by motivated community, and quality control.
At least in this case, it wasn't a parent.

$241 million from a budget of over $12 billion from a city that with businesses that collectively make hundreds of billions every year. Doesn't seem like that much. Same as 1 SoftBank funded startup that inevitably wastes it.

Little to show for it? The money is going to help people in a awful situation. Just because they haven't disappeared from the streets doesn't mean it's wasted.

The number is more like $3800 per person per year.
