I made a similar decision when the increasing bloat of the web made my 3rd gen iPad inadequate. I considered the new iPad Pro, but decided on a Surface Pro 4 instead. Except for me it wasn't a real filesystem I wanted. It was a virtual memory system that didn't make programs discard data when multitasking.

On the iPad, opening a couple more browser tabs and then coming back to the original tab might cause the page on the original tab to reload. This could be very frustrating on sites like HN or Reddit. I might start typing a comment, and in the middle of that need to look up some things to fact check myself or get some references. Do that, go back to the comment--and the damn page reloads, wiping out what I'd typed so far.

Anticipating this, I could "select all" on my comment and copy it, then go do the research, and then come back. If the page reloads then I could just paste the comment back. If I needed to copy and paste something from the other page it was usually safe to do at that point. Just switching between two already loaded pages usually would not trigger a reload.

I never ran into anything like that on SP4. I could pause writing an HN comment and research in other tabs as much as I wanted, and never had the partial comment gone when I switched back.

I don't know if this is because Windows will use a pagefile and/or swapfile when there is not enough physical RAM for everything, or because the SP4 had 16 times as much RAM as my 3rd gen iPad so I simply never got it low enough on RAM, but for whatever the reason browsing worked a lot better the SP4.

Since then I also got a 6th gen iPad (not Pro). It's much better than my old 3rd gen was about this, but still does occasionally force a refresh when witching among tabs.

I don't think VS/GH Codespaces are open-source, and they don't seem to support GitLab.

However, if you do need something based on open-source that works with GitLab, take a look at https://www.gitpod.io

At GitHub we're pretty proud of the scan results from CodeQL. Currently, 70% of alerts flagged in PRs are fixed (rather than marked as a false positive or won't fix). We think we can get that number up to 85%+ as we gather more data and iterative the queries (which are all open source).
They moved a bunch of it to Github out of PullReminders yesterday. I would go to your personal settings in GH and look at "Scheduled Reminders", which is where the old PullReminders functionality got moved. It's possible it's only there for pre-acquisition users, but that's where it should end up if it's generally available now.
Maybe. I was in a Bait and Tackle shop yesterday that had a sign on the door warning of a $100 fine for speaking the word "coronavirus" inside.
I doubt codespaces will be free- this is how VS Code starts seeing increased monetization. It'll be interesting to see if the self hosted codespace options are no-cost as well.
That isn't the reason.

The reason is that this is a completely different use case.

The second stage of a F9 is not meant to survive re-entry, so there is no need to do anything interesting in terms of heat shielding. Starhopper is meant to survive re-entry, so the calculation had to be made to have it survive the heat.

It was deemed "better" to rely on steel rather than an ablative heatshield and aluminum because inspection requirements are pretty high.

As for the 1st stage also being steel instead of aluminum like the F9. The 1st stage booster will be much larger than the F9 and so the strength of steel is an advantage since it avoids the issue of the structure not being able to stay upright unpressurized.
Idk, I feel like we've been trained to believe this is necessary. Why you should need to know more about a dependency than its documented API? This sort of reminds me of Americans believing their current healthcare situation is the only way to do it even though it's awful.
Nice, it seems they finally integrated Semmle, which they acquired last year! https://github.blog/2019-09-18-github-welcomes-semmle/

This is the only static analysis tool I've really been interested in over the past few years; it's crazy effective from everything I've seen, and the queries are easy to write. Can't wait to play around with this beta on my own code.

In the run-up to the invasion of Iraq in 2003, CNN was seen as somewhat skeptical of the rationale and purpose of the war, but the intro to each segment about the war was so thrilling: rousing, percussion-heavy music, tanks roaring over sand dunes, fighter jets banking in formation, night vision shots of anti-aircraft fire. Their primary, overriding mandate was to make people watch, so they made war exciting and attractive. What was said in their coverage made very little difference next to that.
I do not understand, why we put emails in spam folders instead of rejecting them (as some providers do, e.g. mailbox.org, posteo.de).

Personally, just using the new Edge and a few tabs on the high-end, 8G Surface Go 1, it still lags.
Right, the members aren't the corporations; rather, the members are the developers, who happen to mostly work for the corporations that serve as vendors. That's what "corporate membership" looks like in FOSS.

E.g., in most Apache projects originally donated from a corporation, that corporation's employees usually still constitute a majority of the developers.

The corporation(s), in such cases, aren't sponsoring the project in any strict technical/legal sense. Rather, the project is steering and constraining the corporation(s) in their development efforts on their forks/extensions of the project codebase, determining through the project's core maintainership's decisions, what will be accepted/upstreamed from those corporate forks/extensions into the open core, vs. what will have to remain in those forks.

See: Redis vs. Redis Labs; CouchDB vs. Cloudant; Apache BEAM vs. Google Cloud Dataflow; etc.

This article somehow forgot to mention their influence in the most commercially successful German rock band of all times: Rammstein, which made a cover of their song Das Modell.

Edit: As pointed out the english-singing rock band Scorpions from Germany is far more popular.
If its such a long shot I would be very happy with simpler laws that just address those issue. Let say:

If data a company collects about a person end up being used by scummy call centers or data identity theft, then any victim should have the right to compensation equal to 10x of any monetary losses, and for every 100 victims the legal person responsible at the company that authorized the data collection should get 1 year in prison. No consent needed, no exceptions allowed. Just simple damages and jail time.

Sadly laws are not written like that and companies would not want to exist with such sword hanging above them, so we end up with laws like gdpr that tries to have enough threats to push companies in the right direction, with mixed results.

Opinions please.
I think Flat UI can look absolutely awesome, the problem for Windows is that Microsoft hasn't done it well. I don't know what it is exactly, but their new UIs look bloated, yet barren. It feels like there's a lot of noise, yet no functionality. It's certainly not helped with the serious UI layering MS has been doing for the last decade (take all the basic functionality, create a new UI for that, create a link that opens a dialogue for the old functionality). Nowadays you have to enter 4 dialogues to access anything slightly advanced in outlook.
It's still there, page 27. They just refer to the browser as software providers, which is probably better, as it now covers internet software that is not technically a browser.
couldnt the CDN issue be fixed by just having a little closer relationship with the CDN? - i am no expert but maybe with a dns record or similar. that way it is another host you are pulling from but within the same domain or something maybe?

I don't know, overall i just wanted to say that i totally agree that it doesn't seem like a good feature you go to site X and your browser loads data and makes connections to wherever based on site x's instruction.
Microsoft is really the best at the slow strategic burn.

* You host your project in github

* You fund your project using github sponsors

* You develop your project using github codespaces

* You compile, test and deploy using github actions

* You cloud host on azure

Each individual feature is definitely great. I'm not trying to be critical of Microsoft trying to turn their investment in github into a profitable business. This is a kind of vertical integration that is guaranteed to lead to some efficiencies.

One prediction based on this stack is the next piece could be some sort of subscription payment architecture. I wouldn't be surprised to see some kind of Microsoft Marketplace integration coming, but maybe branded under github. Some kind of SaaS subscription enabler.

It is when everything works!

Kidding aside, one thing I like about DevOps work is that it doesn't get the same kind of scrutiny that other development work involves. Your manager and product manager can see and interact with a client app, but the infrastructure component is opaque to them unless they have experience in this area. In my experience this helps keep the pressure off of you and allows you to work more autonomously. The downside is that you may not get as much recognition when brownie points are passed out.
But you’re not talking about a risk that only an engineer can understand. You’re talking about a risk that somebody else in the organisation is trying to hide from their own boss. Which is a completely different thing.
Well, the web app is interacting with a host system too — the host just happens to be different than your web browser environment.

I mean, yes, there are some differences between the two (and keep in mind you can also access a Codespace via a locally installed copy of VS Code in a remote development environment, where the remote dev environment is the Codespace VM), but as far as I know, there are very few differences between how a remote environment locally works vs a remote environment using the browser-hosted editor.

You’re correct when you say there are differences, but I still feel like “full” experience is accurate. Full doesn’t have to mean 1:1 copy. To me it just means aren’t losing out on something.

I work at Microsoft on Azure but not on VS Codespaces or GH Codespaces. I’m just a fan/user of both.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Here are the facts: Companies following these accelerated growth trajectories now make up a total of 4 trillion in market capitalization depending on how you count it. That's really just the FAANGs, not the smaller companies that are profitable or on the road to profitability [1]. If you count everything you can safely say the number is closer to 8 trillion.

Every year, VC in the US _as a whole_ invests roughly 100B [2]. If you cut out non-growth and non-tech sectors I'd guess that number total goes to around 40B, and roughly 100B (very rough number) globally.

So yeah, some money gets "wasted" but it creates huge market capitalizations that are around two full orders of magnitude larger than a single years investment, and growing strong year over year.

This is based on Semmle, which they acquired last year. According to their docs (https://help.semmle.com/lgtm-enterprise/admin/help/sys-requi...) it supports C, C++, C#, Go, Java, JS, TypeScript, and Python; no Ruby. (Edit to add: Woops, missed that this list is also literally on the page. I had even looked first.)

It's really hard to do any kind of static analysis on something like Ruby or Perl where 1) you need a ton of context just to parse it properly, and 2) tracing calls is a nightmare. Given that, I'm completely unsurprised they haven't supported it yet.

Only in the same way that Led Zeppelin sounds "obvious".

Desktop development is a complete mess at the moment on Windows. Core 3.1 definitely has many good improvements and is good for class libraries but adding a GUI currently has few desirable options
1)Winforms designer doesn't work with complex or 3rd party controls
2) WinUI doesn't work on Win32
3) WPF works but lengthens development and will soon be out of sorts with this WinUI
4) Really everyone wants cross-platform GUI but not much forthcoming except Uno or Avalonia but these are risky for large projects
5) Blazor could be interesting but only works as Desktop standalone using Electron.NET which seems a horrible dependence.
6) Old Winforms on defunct .NET framework works but looks horrible
7) Old 3rd party Winforms on defunct .NET framework is expensive
I pay for the full JetBrains subscription. While I still use vscode for typescript and rust, I use JetBrains for anything else. It's one of those no brainer purchases that pays for itself within a month.

Programmers create enormous value. If you can get even small single digit percentage improvements by leveraging better tooling, it pays for itself almost right away.

I estimate conservatively I produce $500,000 in value a year. If I can eke out a 1% improvement in productivity that's worth $5000 a year.

I think it's a big blind spot that developers don't invest enough in.
I don't think anyone would suggest this a full time replacement for your dev environment and IDE
Then it brings with it a whole list of different problems, like being incredibly susceptible to buyer fraud, the cost of which everybody then has to eat.

Meanwhile it causes the payment processors to not want to do business with merchants who get a large number of chargebacks, even if the problem isn't with the merchants but with their customers. In other words, it discriminates against merchants who do business with disadvantaged clientele who are more likely to have payment issues.
This has been a cultural difference I noticed between Windows and Mac since the 1990's. List of features but somehow forgetting to show what it looks like. A few screenshots go a long way to get a feel for it.
We (GitHub) absolutely plan to expand the list of languages CodeQL supports, and Ruby is a language we'd love to add (we're heavy users of it internally). In the meantime, because code scanning is extensible you can plug in third party analysis engines to scan the languages that CodeQL doesn't support.
> Yes, restricting access when users do not consent to data collection is generally illegal.

So, if sites can't provide users with anything in return for consenting, doesn't that make consenting not a valid contract? Or does the EU not require a contract to have an exchange of value?
Yup all the free stuff is ultimately to lead us into using and paying for Azure. Need an open source alternative to GitHub.

I think we need to be clear that Uber is basically a payday loan on your car's title. People are bad at understanding depreciating assets.

This is simply untrue. Cars do depreciate, but not so much to make the whole business unprofitable.

A double digit percent of the Uber drivers (probably even close to half of all) drive in rented vehicles. Hertz for example has a program[1] where you pay $200-300/week for renting a practically new vehicle. This makes the depreciation costs explicit to the driver. I think Hertz has some pretty good experience with valuing vehicle depreciation. Assuming Uber drivers do 1000-2000 miles a week, Hertz rate translates to something like $.10-.20 per mile in vehicle depreciation & maintenance. A non insignificant cost, but hardly a deal-breaker.

Maybe if there were a stronger social safety net there would only be a labor market for drivers for whom Uber is actually a good fit?

Maybe now there are drivers for whom Uber is actually good fit? Have you talked to your drivers? In my experience, most of them are pretty happy about the arrangement in general, and the only complaint is low rates.

"Over the Southern Great Plains, we found that when the wind brings less moisture, dry soils are associated with increases in rainfall amount; and when the wind brings greater moisture, wet soils are associated with increases in rainfall amount. In the current study, we find that, actually, in many regions, the opposite is true for the likelihood of afternoon rainfall," Welty said.

I'm certainly surprised that it's _so_ nuanced as to be completely the opposite in different areas.
