Git repo hosting really doesn't cost much unless it's super popular and needs a lot of bandwidth (at which point you can probably get some hosting company to sponsor).

At minimum, a Raspberry Pi and an internet connection will do. If you want something a bit more reliable, you can get a virtual server for $5/month and host many repos on it.

It's a lot like the US really, except that the country's rulers basically choose each other directly, instead of being chosen in a public election with rigged choices. Also, it has much more direct state control and ownership of certain industries and companies, but that's not completely unlike what happened with, for instance, the big auto bailout a decade ago.

To be fair, the leasing companies may well be more inclined to give them a pause on their payments now than normal. If they repossess the aircraft for lack of payments, what other customers do they have for them in the short term?
I have a deep distrust of the financial system as well. How much can you just keep repackaging debt until it looks palatable? After all, that's what most financial instruments are, and the financial system has enormous incentives to trap people in debt.

The pattern is the same: years of deregulation allow financial giants to go on a feeding frenzy. They feed on ill-informed consumers by enticing them with deals that are too good to be true. They feed on each other by giving each other loans. The numbers look great for a while. Individuals within these firms get enormous bonuses because the numbers are so good. Then there is a moment of reckoning where the financial giants realize their credit exposure to each other is too high and furiously backpedal. They then try to obtain safe assets at any cost, crashing the market and decimating IRAs (but who cares about those).

This has not been caused _by_ coronavirus. Internal data from my company (sorry, no details) have been foreshadowing a recession for months. Coronavirus just came at the most inopportune time, with a financial house of cards primed for collapse and a USFG administration that's too inept to handle it (and which encouraged the feeding to begin with).

The banks are going to be hit by this, but they'll survive it one way or another. Those of us who are invested in the financial system (read: almost everyone) will get screwed. Then the financial giants, freshly bailed out with taxpayer money, will go purchase real assets at rock bottom prices and further consolidate wealth in time for the next bull market.

This is when we could use an FDR to break this cycle. Instead, we have the choice of Trump, Biden, or Sanders. Yikes.

"They have done incredible and useful things with it and in my opinion have been extremely responsible about it"

It's impossible to know everything that they've actually done with your data, so I don't see how you can maintain that they've been responsible with it.
That's a good observation. I think however at that point we're onto worrying about how to educate future persons or peoples unknown.

Also, I'd be wary of thinking (as others down thread have done, you are not guilty of this) that the general person thinks the assassination caused WW1. It's clear that many people are in fact taught that it merely triggered it. It is arrogant to assume it's not a well known fact, a case of "Well the masses are stupid and think X" without evidence that the masses do in fact think that.

Indeed I am not a specialized historian, it was part of my (and all my peer groups') general education (GCSE history).

Does being able to apply pythagoras make a "specialized mathematician", or knowing "Dos cerveza por favor?" make a linguist? No, it's part of a rounded education. Not everyone achieves even a basic standard (as my attempt at Spanish likely shows), but as long as the specialists do exist, then they can write the text books for the general education and correct the record.
It's confusing. RubyCentral pays for hosting and "ops" (not sure how much 'ops' staff time, if any?), but I think not development? And RubyTogether hypothetically pays for development (some but not neccesarily all that's needed), which can include new features but also required maintenance (we all know software requires care and feeding, it's never "done")?

But I could have this not right?

It has been confusing for a variety of reasons.

And I think there are mixed reviews with how well it's going overall, especially the RubyTogether part.
Yes, they almost own the entire JS ecosystem at this point.

They lost a decade of battles for the web, but it seems they just found a way to get back in the fight.

Now at the IE 6 times, that meant monopoly, and it was terrible news.

But today, it means more competition between the giants, which is very good for us.

> I feel bad for the Fed folks

Don't. The entire financial structure is based on parasitic and immoral practices that people have known about for thousands of years now (charging usury, aka "interest", comes to mind). The unfortunate thing is that the average person is going to end up paying for all this, while the very rich benefitting from it are barely affected.
Exactly, especially given the instability over at NPM. Hopefully MS / Github can be a stabilizing influence both financially and culturally.

I don't think the intent is to make everything go smoothly for the average American. Instead, it's to keep the gears of the economy turning.

People who have money saved will just dip into their savings and keep spending. At a reduced rate, but not at a rate that falls off a cliff.

But people who live paycheck to paycheck will just stop spending. Because they can't spend. And the money they didn't spend means reduced cash flow for someone else. Which means that other person (or business) won't spend.

In many cases, it will be a huge domino effect. Enough people take the paycheck-to-paycheck approach that there are essentially large numbers of people who have been moving synchronously, in lock step with each other. If one stops moving (spending), they all stop.

If spending stops, that means economic activity stops. Which is close to saying the same thing as saying recession.

Putting cash into people's hands counteracts this. The people who operate paycheck-to-paycheck are the main problem area that needs to be addressed to achieve the goal of keeping the gears turning. And when they receive $1K, they will spend every cent immediately, which is exactly what you need them to do. (People with savings aren't the main problem area, but they will also spend some of it.)

Economically, this is going to be very ugly for a lot of people, but putting $1K into people's hands could make it a lot less ugly compared to the alternative of not doing it, and I think that's all this is aiming for.
Obviously yes. It's called a correction. We've had over a decade of monetary-policy-fueled asset bubble. VCs were spending money just to litter the sidewalks with easily-purchasable consumer goods, in hopes of renting them out for some kind of income. It has to pop some time.

There is also the issue that economic annealing has optimized all of the slack out of supply and financial chains. That should have been dealt with during the good time (similar how USG should have kept domestic mask manufacturers alive). But it wasn't, and the only way forward is for that risk to be re-priced-in.
Definitely this. I have lived through two (one major) restarts.

Be gentle to yourself. You probably will need longer to recovery emotionally than financially.

Let the process take its time. If you're unsteady emotionally or under pressure (need to make a business to regain income) it is very difficult to make pragmatic decisions.

Good luck.
What Life Is Like in Rome Under Coronavirus Lockdown
First of all, I made this suggestion in the other comment and I absolutely did substantiate it with numbers.

On the contrary, the responses I've received were
1) Point #2 below. That is fair.
2) Failing to read my post, e.g. saying healthcare will collapse while I already include that assumption.
3) Appeal to emotion like (literally) "[you are] not human" or "shit HN says"

If you have something better, I welcome you to comment on my other post.

Two new pieces of information I got since then:

1) Medical supplies are in danger because of the local disruption (e.g. local blood drives are cancelled in King County so they say the supply is collapsing), factory closures, and shipping disruption - again, the cure is worse than the disease and it just reinforces my point.

2) People noted that sudden death spike would cause economic disruption due to panic too, however I argue that
(a) without the media and govt attention at the early stage, the panic would be brief, (b) even after healthcare collapses, the panic and impact would be much less significant than now, as evidenced by Italian doctors on FB/Twitter being unhappy with the common reaction of reading the horror stories and then going out with friends.
Well, I recently switched from a sedan to an SUV, so let me help:

1. There are rows of SUVs parked at most residential intersections. This way I can actually see what's going on at the intersection, and if I can safely enter it.

2. Less headlight-in-eyes issues.

3. More storage capacity in the trunk. Yay! I don't live in Madrid or London; I can't just stop by the nice little corner store on my way home and get fresh produce. I have to do trips to Costco and haul back a supply. This makes a big difference.

4. More room for fitting the kid's car seat in the back. Since car seats in close proximity to a driver's seat are dangerous (if they should impact during an, uh, impact), this is safer.

5. Better stability in our regional weather.

That's why I switched. Please be so kind as not to eat the serpent's tail: I don't care that if fewer people bought SUVs 1 and 2 would be irrelevant. I care that they -do- buy SUVs and this is my safety-oriented response to that reality.

For how much money I wonder.
Partly choice, partly company pressure on project's key developers (in terms of influence, not code quality or code contributions) to move to GitHub.

Companies love GitHub because they think it provides metrics. Mediocre developers (the kind that gets influence in OSS projects) love GitHub because they appear productive.
Good luck with Gitlab, they have to follow the same laws.

Member of the Backstage team here. Sorry if the messaging is unclear; we'll work on it.

Allow me to tell you about Backstage in the form of a story. Assume you're at a medium-to-large-sized company, in a team tasked with boosting developer productivity. You've developed a kick-ass pipeline to calculate test flakiness based on historical build logs and some data from your internal userinfo service. Problem is, userinfo has suddenly started exhibiting p99 response times in the 10s of seconds. It's not feeling well.

You go to backstage.yourcompany.net and search for userinfo. You reach the overview page for the service. It shows a ton of information, some of it pertaining to who owns and operates the service. Apparently it's the devcore team, they're on #devcore-support on slack according to the page but they're in the US west coast timezone so they're asleep. Well you are using the PagerDuty plugin in Backstage so there's a big "page us" button right there.

So now you've got the issues solved and you need to expose the pipeline output somehow. Cool, you go to backstage.yourcompany.net and click "Create", and select one of the templates. It scaffolds a Go service in your GitHub org, according to your company's best practices. All the builds and deployments are already set up and hot. You add some code to your service and shortly it's up and running and serving the pipeline output with caching out of S3. You check backstage.yourcompany.net to see how all aspects of your service's runtime status is looking. All good. Now, how do you actually get that useful data into your company's other devs' hands?

Well you COULD make an entire microsite, or some CLI tool orrrr... Come to think of it, they are already all using backstage.yourcompany.net, and there's already an integration in there showing all builds for all services, and it has all of the utilities and auth and bells and whistles already in place for you. So you make an internal backstage plugin. You find that it's pretty much a matter of cloning your internal backstage repo, running a create-plugin script, and boom you are up and running. You add a data source feeding off of your new Go service, you add a column to the builds table ... and you have your own team review and merge it because it's covered by CODEOWNERS. And everybody rejoiced and told you how useful this new column was to them. You start getting a bit famous on your internal Slack, actually.

Now you are getting greedy. You feel that actually, this plugin could be useful to the general public - as long as the build logs are in a known format, you can eat them. You start open sourcing the pipeline, and the service - and, critically, also the backstage plugin.

This is how things are internally at Spotify today. What we released here today is not this entire story yet, but we are lifting more and more out into the open at a rapid pace. Check the repo and microsite for more info, and hold tight.

More is coming.
Let's assume he did. Now what? Does it make the situation better for Microsoft? User is banned, repos are lost, comments and issues are lost, with no explanation whatsoever. Microsoft is covering its ass, while we all are at loss.

There's no reason for you or me to be supportive of Microsoft in this situation.
The whole point of the null pointer example is that "you are checking for null yourself" doesn't work in that situation, because the compiler optimizes out the check. It becomes impossible to do the right thing.

Yes, investors have to accept the loss, not the govt. A new budget carrier will arise in a few months, buy any IP they need from the liquidators for a small fee, and re-hire 50% of the old staff straight away.

Provided COVID-19 doesn't get going again next winter.
Before coronavirus when a company missed earnings it was battered on the public markets.

With Coronavirus 90%+ of companies will be directly affected in reduced revenue. Either directly like companies that are focused on retail, or indirectly, companies that are affected by challenges in logistics.

Was the market perhaps inflated, in my opinion yes, but I don't see how people can say this crash wasn't caused by coronavirus.

Could we have had a crash or reset in the future without the virus? Most likely. But that unknown reality didn't happen. Instead we have a global pandemic, where the only real working solution is to institute various levels of lock down and social distancing, which will slowdown economic spending dramatically.

If the entire global market has to take 2-months off from generating revenue, that is a huge blow to the system. Then you have the secondary effects. Job losses, businesses closing, rent, evictions, closures, etc.

The economic impact of this will take 6 months to play out to see where the bottom is. Not all companies and industries will be affected the same way, but generally speaking only a small handful of companies will really get through this without some sort of impact to their business.
Interesting! In C/C++, optimizing to imul would be correct since if a was negative it would eventually underflow, and signed integer underflow is UB. Therefore ignoring that case is fine.

Presumably the same is true for LLVM IR, which would mean that it's Rust's responsibility to emit code that checks for that case since in Rust under/overflow is defined. Very interesting compiler bug! I noticed that they haven't fixed it for the latest version. Did you submit the bug report to Rust?
You don't need to be "employable in the field" to be an amateur programmer. And plenty of people learn to program in their spare time to a level where they would be employable. Often while they're still in school.

Calling it "corona crisis" is an attempt to get the debt crooks off the hook. After 9/11 and the Great Recession, we should know better and prepare for bleep happening rather than run up debt in order to brag about the economy (in the short term).
Even doubling times of deaths has issues as a measure. For example, the double time before you're forced to triage is going to be better than when your health system is overwhelmed.
Does this mean using alternatives (GitLab, et. al) is not an option?

The worst option has been Elm's system where the whole package system requires you to not only use GitHub, but when GitHub in down (which isn't uncommon unfortunately) packages that weren't cached locally were inaccessible with no mirroring options.
It's worth noting that this is a COMPLAINT, not a RULING (e.g. as opposed to the fine that Google just got in Sweden, which is a ruling). The allegiations that Googles browser competitor Brave is making will have to be actually proven first.

I've got an old 4Runner. It was $1400. It does great in snow. It doesn't get hung up on dirt roads like our minivan does (there are dirt roads where I live). I can fit the whole family and all of our ski gear. I can tow a trailer (van can do that but the car can't). It's body on frame construction like a truck and handles tons of abuse. Granted, it's actually more like a car than modern SUVs, which are huge...the 4Runner is narrow and can fit in my tiny driveway. Anyway, there's a lot to love about SUVs, they're practical for a whole lot of things.
