Indeed, gitolite doesn't support anything except permissions on raw git repos, plus all the customisation features you may have seen in the docs.

There are plenty of good tools if you need issues, reviews, comments, etc.; no need for little old me to jump in there!

In fact, at one time I changed the topic of #gitolite on freenode to "Social coding. Without the social" :-)

I totally agree. NASA is definitely not incompetent, they are just saddled with bureaucracy and the wrong incentive structure. It's an inherent problem with public institutions, and that's why this public private partnership is so important.

Agreed 100%. This should be the #1 answer.
Yes, your opportunities dramatically expand if you earn $400K. So unless you want everyone except the company shareholders to be poor, I don't see what your problem is with people being fairly compensated.
I'm still dreaming about a world where OpenID is the norm. Just think if Apple forced all apps to use that instead, that would be a great move for privacy and security.

But no. Instead they make more proprietary shit without having the basic skills to do so. Then they force that shit on their users.
And once again you're taking remarks out of context and ignoring the half of the story that doesn't fit your preexisting beliefs.

Here are some other remarks Trump made along with "very fine people":

> we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America.

> The driver of the car is a murderer. And what he did was a horrible, horrible, inexcusable thing.

> I think the driver of the car is a disgrace to himself, his family, and this country.

For (2), yea definitely threw this all together a little too quickly. I have updated the README in https://github.com/Nintorac/NeuralDX7 to give a little explanation of the specific code used for this site.

Hope that helps and feel free to get in contact info@thisdx7cartdoesnotexist.com or create an issue if I can help to make anything clearer

I'll try to take your comment seriously and explain what I like about his stuff. I personally find wrapping the Reichstag to be great. I live in Berlin, and see the building regularly, and it's just such an entertainingly absurd thing to do to a very important building such that looking at it gives me joy. (There's a lot of modern art that does not do that for me.) It's just fun to look at. For me it's something like watching Monty Python -- the absurdity is a lot of what makes it interesting. (I don't mean to imply that that's the only reason anyone could like it.)

I am a musician, and while there's a lot of "new music" that I don't get (or enjoy), there's a lot of it that I do. Mostly in the area I know things about (i.e. jazz). As you get into more more abstract art, often it does become "specialist" because it requires catching references and constructs that are used elsewhere and hearing how a piece uses, extends or intentionally avoids those. A casual listener won't catch that stuff, and a lot of the music may not be immediately appealing on a raw aesthetic level. But that's not specific to high-art. Pretty much any sitcom contains cultural references that are only funny in context.

Mediterraneo10's comment about Ligetti though reminds me of something: I've introduced a lot of folks to "new music" (the snooty term folks mostly use for "classical" stuff that's come out since around the 1950s or so). I do that by taking them to the symphony. I almost always pick concerts that have at least some "new" pieces, and everyone I've taken has enjoyed them. There are some things that I'd find almost unlistenable on a CD at home that make sense even to the casual listener in that format. I think a lot of music is written for a particular type of space -- like trying to understand techno without ever setting foot in a dance club would be backasswards. I think it's the same with classical music, and a lot of jazz as well.
This is the number one reason I can come off as inflexible in terms of sanctioning remote control or backdooring of user device features, or the implementation of anti-features.

Once you accept something controversial can be done be highly in situation X, the fact you allow it in situation X eventually gets used as a point that it should be allowed in situation Y, where Y was the controversial thing in the first place.

One of my favorite aspects of Diablo was the randomly generated levels. Imagine a space strategy game, where your "civ" is randomly generated giving you a random tech tree, with random ships of random attributes.

That would so much more depth and replay-ability and make it much much harder to over optimize.
Except that never happens. The accountability part. Police act up over and over and face no meaningful consequences, hence the rioting.

There's no question in the ability of the police to abuse the civilian population, we see it every day. Punch a police and see what happens, and then if they punch you again watch what happens.

I mean I'm pretty sure that hitting someone with a fucking rock in the head with full force qualifies as "violent". I'm sure you wouldn't like it, sword or no sword. Nor would you like to protect your property from looters unarmed.

I did not take that as implying its somehow any better. I took it as a cultural separation that allows for an excuse to forgo morality in inflicting harsh threatments. (easier to bash someone's head in when they aren't your nextdoor neighbour).

Stop assuming the worst of others as the default. Unless of course you're doing it in bad faith.

Wikipedia says 2: "the countdown timer reached zero and ended 2 months and 4 days after it had begun"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Button_(Reddit)
When I went into uni, I thought I was the shit. I had also programmed and done client work for a few years before that and had a lot of real-life work experience. What I didn't have though, was patience and the ability to sit through and do the work. The first two years I scored full marks on everything and I had basically already done work projects that I could directly apply for all of my course work. When I ended up in more advanced classes, despite already doing very well academically, I was totally and utterly lost. I struggled for a few years, barely finishing classes and dropped out.

I went into the work life and did very well considering my lack of degree and continued working for some 6 years or so.

What I'm trying to say is that even if you know programming, you might lack specific pieces of knowledge or a certain way of understanding concepts if you haven't had formal education before. You should do the work and clear even your 101 courses diligently. I don't know what the opposite of imposter syndrome is, but it'll be your undoing if you let it.

Now, at the age of almost 29, I'm a freshman at another university and I've finished my first semester with full marks, but instead of coasting along and doing the minimum I can foe the grades, I actually learned to value the process of learning and doing instead of just caring about creating the necessary work I need for the classes.

I have no idea if this resonates with you at all, but you're always welcome to hit me up if you have any questions. I've done a lot of different work in the IT sector and will gladly share my takeaway with you.
Hopefully it doesn't come to that...

PingCAP’s Experience in Implementing Their Managed TiDB Service with Gardener
The level of idiocy required to believe that 'demanding ethical behaviour from software engineers' is at all a reasonable request, enables other idiotic ideas, such as 'demand ethical behaviour of all people' because why stop at software engineers, which naturally leads to eugenics if you believe some people are born with unethical tendencies that can't be corrected past birth, due to genetics.

Now I understand that you don't think demanding ethical behaviour is an idiotic idea.

What you don't know is that this idiotic idea has been rebutted a billion times already.

We have an entire branch of philosophy dedicated to it, called moral philosophy.

Let me save you some time:

Go ahead and define ethical. Define how you plan to demand. Explain how you make sure those enforcing the 'demanding' themselves don't become unethical and how you make sure you don't end up in a worse spot than where you started by attempting to demand something you can't even define or even if you could, you could never get everyone to agree with your definition because gasp, people thinks differently.

Here's a last kicker for you - suppose in your fairyland that cannot be, you did demand ethical behaviour and people listened, you know, because you're a violent dictator because nobody would listen otherwise. Another country goes ahead and does the unethical, gets ahead of your little ethical country, comes and crushes you, enslaves your ethical people and puts your head on a stick. How do you propose to win a zero-sum game of power if acting ethically dooms you to losing, or are you ok with going extinct in your noble ethical fashion? Good luck convincing the rest of your little ethical country to live ethically in fear of getting pillaged, raped and enslaved by the neighbours, in the name of ethics.
Thanks for the feedback!

1. For sure, I was thinking something along the lines of a multiview VAE that gets as input either `f(z|audio, midi)` or `f(z|dx7_parameters)` and must produce as output `f(audio|midi,z)` or `f(dx7_parameters|z)`

The housing vultures
My advice is to keep in mind that CS doesn't directly get you a job. Software engineering (e.g. coding on a project) will get you a job.

Thus, it's important from day 1 that you work on projects, whether it be a project at a company you work for during school, or a project for your own personal interests or portfolio. Do some tutorials online, explore some languages and IDEs that pique your interest - make sure that you dedicate whatever time you have outside of school to this.

What CS does give you is the abstract theory that allows you to be a great software engineer. The more you code, the more you'll appreciate the abstract concepts that comprise CS. And if you're coding from day 1, you'll explore the implementation of some of the CS concepts you've learned, which will truly make you love CS!
I'm not sure I'd make that assumption. I'm sure lots of people have made a split-second reflexive decision to avoid hitting a person/people/deer in a collision that still carries some danger to themselves. I wonder how many have made a deliberate decision to drive off the road to considerable hazard (e.g. off a cliff) in order to avoid hitting someone at no danger to themselves.

It has always struck me as strange there is no 2FA function on HackerNews along with no real delete function.

Also some of us have noticed for a while Hacker News is hosted differently than the rest of YCombinator. While YCombinator uses AWS, which makes sense, Hacker News uses a small San Diego firm called M5 Computer Security. They have commented on here from time to time.

M5 Computer Security, also known as Cloud 5 Hosting and a few other names, has popped up on other forums too. The IPs that are owned by them (at least according to WHOIS) wind up holding very strange other websites that aren't say hosting customers (like how to weld underwater, how to get a foreign visa, etc). Some of their name servers also hold data for websites that are definitely not supposed to be there, like the regional government sites of a foreign country (could be part of the Sea Turtle DNS attack we have thought [1]). Also for a security company they seem to have strangely out of date websites [2]. Copyright 2003?

A few weeks ago we wound up calling the FBI's Cyberstorm hotline after we saw something weird with a government in the United States that traced back to M5 and American Internet Services, LLC (they often appear alongside M5 in the hosting records). A week later I had someone from DHS interview me at length (they just showed up at the door) for about 30 minutes. They seemed to be around organized crime, but near the end of the conversation it was mentioned "well they also do a lot of Department of Defense stuff". Uh oh. This seems to be true as they mention it on one of their websites actually [4].

Hopefully someone a few months from now will pick up the case and find out / connect to one of the many other DNS mysteries out there.

I would agree with you if I were able to find any members of the Democratic Party calling the media "enemies of the people". As I am unable to, I must unfortunately conclude it is, in fact, a political issue -- or at the very least an issue stemming entirely from one side of the political aisle.

Additionally, you may be suffering under some misunderstandings with regard to the Stanford Prison Experiment -- long story short, the methodology is largely understood to be flawed at best (Source: https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2019-45337-001) -- and therefore the conclusions as well. That may have contributed to misapprehending the fuller picture (nationalism) for the narrower one (tribalism).

I remain open to any new evidence that authority figures within the Democratic Party are also describing the media as "enemies of the people" -- but until that arrives, I think we can agree that in this case tribalism has been subsumed into nationalism -- since tribalism is just the low-level building blocks of nationalism anyway.

You're going out of your way to rationalize innocent people getting hurt because some people in an entirely separate city and incident are looting or causing property damage.

All of the videos and incidents I linked showed 100% from multiple angles that the police were the ones instigating the issue. They shoved a woman out of the way because she was just standing there and sent her to the ER. Journalists were blinded because they were simply doing their job and the police decided to take potshots. You're arguing about 'legal immunity' when we're talking about cops blatantly breaking the law and abusing their privilege as police officers to get away with it. And the reason why this entire incident occurred was because of police murdering someone so obviously that people couldn't look the other way. Maybe you should start by blaming them for instigating this whole mess.
But then as soon you click the back button you lose all the state and have to do a lot of craziness to keep it in sync with the server. That’s the problem you’re trying to solve, trying to keep the server-client data reliably in sync.

And no one wants to wait around for all that state to load, that’s why those websites were so slow. Plus, then there’s the challenge of scale and traffic

It’s just not about the back button. It’s not about fashion, there are real problems that an SPA fixes. Sure it’s more complex, but the problem is more complex

It looks like you and a lot of people in HN work on super small websites that don’t require React or any SPA but yall don’t have to shit all over it and people who choose an SPA to build their web apps. In fact, more often than not, it’s the right choice

Alas. It was a good anecdote, past tense.
Thanks for the kind words.

Honestly, regarding 3, I've been really impressed by how positive people have been. When this was near the top of Reddit about a month ago, I really spend about 48 hours frantically coding and moderating. Those 48 hours taught me a lot about content moderation though.

On the whole, it's been an _incredibly_ positive community of people writing letters. We've received over 115,000 letters, and they've been read over 15 million times. Many of the first 75,000 letters were spam and highly moderated content. But I've been able to read most of the past 35,000 or so, and an astonishing number are kind, thoughtful, or heartbreaking.

We've also had a lot of positivity coming from non-english countries, which I've encouraged and enjoyed seeing on social media. It's been a bit of an excuse to brush up on my French. I'd eventually love to have a better native experience for non-english speakers, but there are only so many hours in the day.

Thanks again for the kind words.
You already have skill and hopefully passion in one discipline, use college as an opportunity to explore a different one, and get an edge up on your peers. Don't major in CS, major in something else that you care about for its own sake, even if that doesn't come with an especially marketable degree. You'll probably want to take classes from various disciplines to see what really drives you.

You'll want to do something that demonstrates that you have good coding skills. Try to get a part-time programming job or internship, or get involved with an open source project, in particular one that's likely to be used at companies that might hire you. You should also make sure that you pick up the fundamentals that you would learn in a CS program that you don't already have. Make sure that you know how to teach yourself math independently. Maybe pick up a Math or CS minor.

I took roughly this path with a Philosophy and Math double major from an average school and started working at a FAANG the Summer after I graduated.

Yeah exactly. I had no issues in getting top marks for courses that covered things I had worked with before going into uni, but as I lacked a formal education, I had a very advanced skill level in specific areas but lacked the primers to other very relevant areas. This meant I either flunked my classes totally or I got an A without doing any work.

Dropping out, mental issues and life happened, I'm now back at the Uni and now I understand how to do the work. In my advanced programming class of 400 people, I managed to score in the top 1% solely because I put in almost double the required hours and tried to expand and extend every task and homework we were given. For the first time, I also feel like my grade was actually earned and I might not actually be totally dogshit at programming after all.
They seem to get quite popular, also reaching out to folks i know to hire recently.
