I'm not a pro dev by any means but what is stopping orgs from simply self hosting such a thing? Git is merely version control which supposedly does not take a lot of resources so you can go ahead and buy a dedicated server and host it in your office. Is the question more so about expanded services like CI/CD that may take up more computational resources to continuously build binaries and other deliverables?

I find your use of "illegal" interesting.

To me, it means "against a law", and laws are made by countries (sure, parliaments of those countries or dictators or...), and generally apply only to that particular country (some things attempt to get a wider reach, but they are usually unenforceable unless there's a local company to pursue, most famous example being GDPR).

There are international conventions and the UN, but countries do not have to be signatories or members to any of them. And I've never heard anyone use the term "illegal" in that sense before.

So what do you mean with "clearly illegal"?

(fwiw, I am very much against the US acting as the "policeman of the world", but sanctions are a political tool to make someone less powerful comply; beats an invasion and bombing that USA has frequently resorted to)

“This project emulates the sound of my old faithful IBM Model-M space saver bucklespring keyboard while typing on my notebook, mainly for the purpose of annoying the [heck] out of my coworkers.

Bucklespring runs as a background process and plays back the sound of each key pressed and released on your keyboard, just as if you were using an IBM Model-M. The sound of each key has carefully been sampled, and is played back while simulating the proper distance and direction for a realistic 3D sound palette of pure nostalgic bliss” — https://github.com/zevv/bucklespring

Yeah, it seems odd that the former employer doesn’t just remove the account from their org and thus remove the MFA requirement.

I’ve had really positive experiences with GitHub support, but you can’t ask them impossible things.

There’s a GitHub user with my org name, they’ve had it for a long time and aren’t active. I asked GitHub support to see if they were active and if they’d be willing to transfer the account. GitHub confirmed they were active but just with no public activity and they passed along the request.

I like that they were human and didn’t try to force the user to give up their account.

I’ve had multiple colleagues say that we should try to force the user and I don’t support that line of reasoning. The user has a legitimate use of the name.I like that GitHub took the high road,

Do we need a new word to describe democracies which prioritise equal opportunities, social safety nets, protective regulation, etc..? Socialism is too loaded a term, and in its classic definition doesn't reflect many societies considered to be some level of socialist. Social democracy comes close but is there some better description of what many people are aiming for? Humanitarian? Ethical? (Although ethical depends upon who defines the ethics!)
I do agree with you, I'm part of a visible minority, but some may argue that if the company have already a toxic environment I'd rather be off. This is especially true for small companies that media don't care about.

Ask HN: I'm a programmer and I hate my teammate. Should I change my job?
There is a man in my team who I don't like very much and I have to work with him a lot. He is a dozen or so years older, but he has less programming experience than me and, unlike me, he did not study computer science, which can sometimes be felt. From the very beginning I have the impression that I do not fit him. Every code review looks like it criticizes my code very strongly and often makes unprofessional and unpleasant comments, e.g. "I got a headache when I read it". Often these remarks have no substantive justification, but I do not have the strength to argue with this man all the time. I am non-conflicting and I am an introvert. I am very demotivated by the vision of working with him, I stop liking the work of a programmer.

Other team members are fine and I like them. The project is very cool (we rewrite the monolith for microservices), financial conditions in the company are great. But working with him makes me sad.

Should I quit?
I agree with you that Office 365, AWS and Github are great products. Hard, if not impossible, to catch up as a competitior, especially when you have trillion dollar companies backing them.

However, if you cannot trust those products then you cannot use them.

Remember, this thread is about Github blocking an entire company due to one employee due to American politics. If a non-US company risks to lose it project management/code management (Github), its infrastructure (AWS) or its documents (Office 365) on a whim due to American policies then they cannot use those products.

If a big enough chunk of the world can't use the American offerings, then there is a market for alternatives.
Is the author debating a strawman or something? Actually, they just seem confused. At the start, they state asset price increase is not inflation, then, at the end, agree that there is some inflation going on in the real estate space.

So the author is agreeing with the people they're supposedly countering. I don't understand the point of this piece.
Nice. I guess that this only increased the spike.

I'm not saying the article is wrong in general, but I don't get this last bit:

> The government isn’t suppressing the “actual” inflation number. And if they were, they would also be suppressing reported economic growth...

Surely by suppressing inflation they are increasing reported economic growth.

If the dollar value of the economy increases 10% with no inflation, then that's 10% growth, but if inflation was also 10%, then that's 0% real growth. So if the economy grows at the same dollar rate, but you manipulate the inflation number lower, you get more apparent real growth.
I would recommend avoiding any language in production environments until they at least hit version 1.0, unless you're able and willing to contribute by dealing with issues you encounter as you go, and fixing backward compatibility breakages as the language is updated.

It's an unfortunate effect. I feel conflicted about blocking all the tracking and stuff, as I believe most cites will ignore browsers such as mine in their statistics, where everyone has javascript, because analytics says so, and most will have webgl, webasm, canvas, webfont, notifications, whatever...

They probably don't count private browsers even when I am a logged-in paying user - who parses server logs these days.

When you serve traffic at this volume, it's no longer the requests per second that matter.

You can easily have static content on lots of metals, but the new problem is saturation of peer links on egress, or unintentionally triggering DDoS mitigations along the path that the traffic takes (or on your own or the CDN services).

That the content could be placed on enough metals to serve it is the easy part... but a nicely designed solution for serving the requests isn't as impressive as keeping the network solid and operating smoothly.

This is also why in the tweet thread that performance, optimisation of resources, etc is called out explicitly... fail to do this and you kill your network.

Fastly did great here, but the gov.uk people and GDS also did great in making the job for Fastly a lot easier.

Oh please, these reporters can't even get the story of Dr Li Wenliang straight, and still call him a whistleblower even though the timeline happened as follows:

30th December 2019 - Li Wenliang, an eye doctor sent a wechat message to colleagues warning there might be SARS going around

31st December 2019 - Wuhan made public statement about a "pneumonia of unknown cause", which was subsequently picked up by WHO https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2...

2st January 2020 - Li Wenliang was invited to the police station and asked to not spread rumours about the new illness

Let's review this timeline. Wuhan had made public of a "pneumonia of unknown cause" on the 31st December 2019, yet Li Wenliang is still called a whistleblower by many media news outlets https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-51403795

If anyone also want to mention Taiwan warning the WHO earlier than 31st December 2019, one need to just look at WHO's official statement here https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/transcr... (just search Taiwan).

What's my point in all of this? Well, from what I am seeing is that we are constantly presented with manufactured fake information wrapped in well articulated articles that is bought by the masses. How can we trust what any of these guys write when the evidence is circumstancial at best? I mean it's like me saying "gee, this Nicholson Baker claims he is not a satan worshipping paedophile, but what if..."
Watched 30 minutes and pretty much didn't get what he wanted to express, which is pretty fine because I'm not well versed in the art of Physics.

Just one thing about probability. My theory is that we use probability because we don't really understand the true "why" of things, or we don't know them. For example, we use probabiliy to guide us when playing poker, but that's because we don't know the cards. Whence we know the cards there is no need for probability.

But again, he is probably not speaking about the same "level" of things. I wish I knew more Physics.

ugh. I seriously hope this is after the next LTSC so I don't have to deal with it for another decade.
So I tried this with R:

1. Define an S4 class.

2. Create an instance of the S4 class (let's call it A).

3. Redefine the S4 class.

4. Examine A.

R complains that there's an error in slot(object, what), because A is missing a slot from the (re)definition of the S4 class.

This is promising, in that R realizes that A is supposed to be an instance of the redefined class. So far, so good.

What I would expect to see next is that either R automatically reinitializes A with the new slot (it has exactly as much information about the new slot as it had about the old ones when I created A), or, if it wants intervention from me, it presents an interactive session I can use to tell it how to initialize the new slots.

It didn't do that, but maybe I just don't have the options configured properly to make it happen.

Smalltalk and Common Lisp meet my expectations: they notice that A is an instance of a redefined class and they either reinitialize the instance automatically, or they present an interactive session that I can use to tell them how to do it.

It's entirely possible that R has this feature and I'm just missing it because I'm a noob.

Looking forward to these!

Just that supercaps aren't going to be universal drop-in replacement for batteries since capacitors' voltage drops linearly with discharge. I.e. when half-discharged as measured in Ah, the voltage drops to half, too. But by that point, only a quarter of energy measured in Wh is left in capacitors, so loads that aren't sensitive to voltage (or have a regulator/dc-dc converter) will be fine.
> There's no such thing as a "trade-off" when it comes to cyber security

There are always trade-offs. No security is absolute, but that doesn't mean all security is worthless. And as a rule all security measures come with some associated cost/inconvenience. What trade-offs make sense will depend on many factors, such as the value of your data (both to you and to a potential attacker), the threat models you're concerned about, the people who need access to your "secure" data, etc.

Isn't the federal reserve intentionally propping up markets? I thought in one of the reports they argued that there was higher inflation but it was restricted to certain markets like housing and so over all inflation was ~2%.
Yes. The huge huge huge majority of credential attacks are stuffing and phishing. Unique passwords prevent stuffing. We observe that everybody reuses passwords unless they use a password manager. Password managers with auto fill can also provide some defense against phishing since they won’t auto fill.

The Achilles heel you mention matters very little since it is a very rare threat model and it would be unreliable to assume that access ends at some point rather than that the adversary simply installed some persistent malware to read all future passwords.

Yes it is in the cloud but if you use Gitlab you're suddenly compatible with hosting your own Gitlab. If you use Github you're not. Unless you pay tons of money for Github Enterprise.

So there are Cloud services that make more sense to use in the long run, in this case Gitlab is one of them.

I use a vim plugin called slimux to send code from vim into a REPL running in another tmux pane. It works really well.

Here's the fork that I'm currently using https://github.com/grusky/slimux

I use it with python and node.is and MySQL and psql

It's great because it can work with any REPL.

I used to use jupyter notebooks but almost exclusively use slimux now unless I need to some data visualisation or computer vision.

VS code's ipython REPL is quite good and has support for images and graphs.

I will say that the main thing that triggered a REPL driven workflow was dealing with large state. When you do machine learning and you have to deal with large models and datasets, loading them each time you save your code and triggering a unit test really gets tedious. You can definitely do it with caching and reducing the dataset size, but it only gets you so far IMO. There's nothing like being to inspect the state of your environment. Particularly when it takes a long time to create that state.

A very strong heuristics that works well in many games (exceptions are usually very interesting games) and is the root to other heuristic concepts such as piece value, central positioning, "protected king", ... in Chess and similar concepts in, e.g., Starcraft.

Also very easy to implement, for discrete turn-based games it's just the number of moves in a given state.
