It's not "nothing". When you have to pay that per team member, it adds up to a vast sum very quickly. Especially when you're required to pay that for everyone using GitLab, even just to use issues or download build artefacts. That's a complete rip-off.

If you consider whether that is delivering value for money, well that's for each team/company to consider. For some I'm sure it is. But for many, and I include myself in this category, it's not value for money given the features and services delivered for the eye-watering cost hikes. It's also not competitive with what other companies are offering, and most of it can be achieved with discrete tools which are of much better quality and which cost less. Their goal of being a total integrated solution is fine--but I'm not sure most people actually wanted that--and that large breadth has come at the expense of depth and much of their offering is better served by more specialised tools. They need to refocus on the basics people want and will pay for, and be competitive by charging the going rate for that instead of 5x the true value.

I'm not averse to paying for what I use. I personally pay for all of the JetBrains products along with some other subscriptions. And my employer pays for other stuff I use for work use. I used to pay for GitLab, but I dropped my subscription because they were asking for too much. The cost has to be commensurate with the value delivered. I get a great deal of value from my JetBrains subscription which I use constantly. GitLab is not currently remotely competitive. Fix that, and I'll resubscribe.

> Netlify CMS has been the best solution in this space, and despite many thousands of stars it’s abandoned now.

I've noticed this too (https://github.com/netlify/netlify-cms/releases) with lots of open issues which makes me very nervous about using it for client projects. Netlify CMS is more than good enough for solo and small sites but it feels like it never took off like it should even with the backing of Netlify. Netlify's recent pricing changes to their hosting where they charge per Git user who trigger commits isn't great here either.

> Why are there not more alternatives?

Maybe it's hard to make money from? There's quite a few commercial offerings where some try to offer a slice of it as open source.

I'd love an active open source alternative to WordPress with a basic site builder i.e. you can drag and drop pre-built page sections to create new pages and get a live preview before you deploy. Unfortunately, WordPress is still the safe open source choice for ease-of-use of the editors for basic business sites.

They're shipping PGO builds of the Rust compiler, so for faster compilation you don't have to do anything ("Windows builds now use profile-guided optimization, providing 10-20% improvements to compiler performance", per Rust's release notes: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/RELEASES.md).

The same goes for contacts by the way: you can be as careful as you wish keeping your phone number and address and e-mail address private, as long as you are friends with me and I keep my Google Contacts up to date, Google has that data. And I don't think this is avoidable, unless you consider complete isolation from human contact desireable.

Wouldn't the evidence be US law? As far as I know nobody can lawfully resist (nor even disclose) a national security letter. The only workaround is to not hold any data of interest to the government so they would have no reason to send one in the first place.

However, besides national security letters, I'm not even sure one would be needed when there's a healthy industry of data brokers happy to sell the data.

Oocuss: Speak your mind with anonmous posts, debunk the stupidity with debates
At Oocuss we are solving some of the most crucial problems of the Digital world.

1. Hiding the identity of the User using “Anonymous Posts”, because there have been many incidences of harassment, violence, and even killing after speaking their mind on social media.

2. Democratizing debate, where anyone can argue, or counter-argue an idea, or issue because most of the debates are on TV shows, and are senseless, verbal attacks, and limited panels full of biases. We believe, rational debate is really required for in better understanding of an issue.

3. Making the platform safe for every age by flagging and filtering the posts that don’t follow our community guidelines, in real-time within seconds.
Well said. I've had to suffer those frameworks somebody thought they could do better without them, and it was a disaster. Nobody other than the person that wrote it was happy about it.

Agreed. One of the reasons I stopped listening to Leo Laporte was how subtly he would slide into the ads.
Well, yes....

In my general experience, "System Admins" have a security-first mindset along with years of focusing on how to maintain a secure system AND blessing from management to be slower for end-product reliability and security of business assets/data.

Developers, *who can certainly have this mindset and skill set as well*, are typically forced to be more business-oriented with management-dictated objectives/deadlines that more strictly limits their ability to invest the time, so you get "the best I can do in the allotted sprint/deadline time minus the other committed work I need to do".

So inevitably the application will let something through, and it becomes to System Admins' responsibility to protect the company... And that seems to be okay with most businesses.... Developers can move quick fast and dirty, and the operations/admins will try to limit the scope of the blast.

It adds several hours or days of work for a developer to add secret storing/retrieval/rotation compared to just hard-coding a key in the environment, so if they have 2 days to implement a feature, they are not going to spend 2 days implementing extra safeguards unless someone speaks up and pushes back (and the other side relents)
How about at least 15 days?

FWIW I hate most presidential speeches, regardless of party, and all their obligatory "God bless America" fluff. Yet I do see value in the bully pulpit during genuine crises.

With broadcast TV giving way to on demand it's my hope there will be a way to at least prompt the nation to take a moment to hear from our elected leader. Even if it's just a text with a link to a live stream.

Probably when producing "software" became capital-intensive enough that you had to have a significant organization with outside investors to do anything comparable to the state of the art. It takes a lot of GPU time to train those models, so you're beholden to a bunch of people who will try to put constraints on you.
I don’t particularly know why this would motivate you to learn it. Yes you can use Lisp in Emacs - I frequently use it just to do math using Polish notation. But even though I know how to write Lisp, and have written my own functions, I rarely use it.
People who pretend to care about environmental stuff only do so to the extent that it doesn't impact them. In the absence of oil, all those home comforts and health products would all be gone. If a treehugger is willing to give up those things then people might listen. Until then they're hypocrites.
After enabling PGO, that was used to compile `rustc` itself.

So compiling Rust code on Windows is faster with 1.64 than 1.63.

Unless Spotify adds support for adding podcasts via RSS Feed URL, I don't think there will be major risk of a large scale move.
I keep seeing mention of this, with some projects fairly far along and government sponsored, but no one can answer for me how they get around the limitations of the Inverse Square Law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law

Basically, with the distances we're talking about, only a super tiny fraction of the energy beamed from space would make it to an earth-based receiver. I can't reconcile this basic fundamental truth with the fact that these projects actually seem real. Can anyone provide insight here? Are these just fanciful proof-of-concepts that aren't intended for actual large-scale power generation?
I figured that was the best way to get organic-feeling roads stitched seamlessly into a far-spanning environment. I also didn't recognise at the time just how hard it would be, but I still think it was the right choice.
I provided a link from people that would know, and it includes phrases like:

"A more complicated case occurs when a developer makes copyrightable changes to a permissive-licensed file that the developer is incorporating into a GPL’d program"

"Note, however, that in a single source file it is typically very difficult, and often completely infeasible, to determine which parts of such a file are covered by permissive terms."

The point being that perhaps you can relicense it, but does that accomplish what you want...making some particular part of it fully bound by the GPL? That's the complicated part.
Yes, my library absolutely has to support the LTS version of Node, and I run the tests against all supported versions to ensure compatibility. So, one day I can use the nice things people are mentioning, but it will be years from now.

If you're one of his primary support structures, you're already doing great. If you weren't, he'd have chosen someone else.

Some situations just suck. Don't expect to be able to miraculously help your friend. Don't expect him to get better quickly. Perhaps he will, perhaps he won't. You're there for him, that's mostly all you can do.

If you must, ask him how else you can help. Each situation is different and each person is different, he'll know better than me.

I saw a quote earlier today that said "Unsolicited feedback is criticism" meaning criticism in the negative sense.

If you're someone's close friend, or a close family member, you probably know when and how you can provide unsolicited feedback in a way that it is received well. If you're not (e.g. everyone on this thread) you're just offering criticism - in the negative sense - that was not asked for.

PPO and HMO are symptoms of our terrible US health system. They are focused on cost control, not positive outcomes. Basically they are middle-men between doctors and their patients. They get to approve/deny care choices. They get to decide, ex post facto, whether or not they will pay for healthcare services, medicines, etc.

Here in the US, you can get surprise medical bills greater than $10k USD, due to these organizations saying "nope, not gonna pay for that."

While in some cases, homeotherapy, and similar, this is justified ... in many/most cases, it really isn't. HMO/PPO etc are all about reducing cost of the care, with these organizations funding themselves from driving down the cost of the the service.

Doctors have to hire people to handle dealing with the insurance companies (HMO/PPO/etc.) Its expensive and time consuming to deal with them.
That sounds orthogonal to what the parent is saying, which is that religious leaders fight vehemently against the legalization of physician-assisted suicide.

The HN audience is mostly experienced developers who have learnt multiple languages so you aren't going to find so much Python, PHP, JavaScript (as opposed to Typescript) etc. because people here have had time to find better options.

Also those languages are old and boring so people don't talk about them as much.

The one that really surprises me is Ruby. I thought it was basically dead.
I didn't claim Egypt can't be trusted, I said your judgment of the safety therein was - don't miscontrue that. As I said, I believe all artefacts should be returned to the stated country. As I implied, Egypt mainly cares about these things for the same reason the UK does - tourism money. The Rosetta Stone only matters because of the story attached to it, there are many other copies that have been found since. Egypt only clamors for its return because it wants to cash in on the hundreds of years of marketing around this object.

Also, I just find your reasoning reductive when it comes to things that happened hundreds and thousands of years ago. You are aware that the Rosetta Stone was written by Macedonian monarchs, who lived in a brand new city found by another Macedonian, who all spoke Greek, killed any Egyptian's that didn't submit to their rule, and refused to learn their language? ... You are aware that Ancient Egypt itself subjugated untold millions, pillaged their lands, carried off valuables, raided neighbors, harbored suspicion for outsiders, and would have done the exact same thing the French did, and or the exact same thing the British did in stealing it from them, since this is how they lived? Should Italy demand the Meroe head?
1) In my experience there is little value in frameworks in modern applications where there tends to be a clear split between the frontend and the backend. The backend is typically structured as a set of stateless services that the frontend queries for resources. Clojure provides excellent tools for building such services.

In fact, I'd go as far as to argue that approach taken by frameworks like Rails and Django is an antipattern because it couples your frontend with the backend. This leads to all kinds of problems.

For example, it's much easier to horizontally scale your backend when you have stateless services. It's also much easier to add alternative frontends, such as mobile apps, since you already have a service API that can be resued. These are just two concrete examples.

2) Knowing the underlying platform helps, but you certainly don't need any deep knowledge of it. I've worked with excellent Clojure developers who only had superficial knowledge of Java or Js before.

3) I'd argue that Clojure actually does better in this regard than a lot of languages. There are orgs like Clojurists Together that actively fund development and maintenance of Clojure libraries https://www.clojuriststogether.org/ and Nubank themselves fund open source developers as well.

Another aspect is that many Clojure libraries are simply doing data transformations. The API accepts a data structure, and returns a different data structure as a result. Such libraries generally don't need a lot of maintenance work. I personally maintain a popular HTMLtemplating library called Selmer and a markdown parser. After the initial feature set was finished, there really hasn't been a lot of work that I've had to do on either library. I do an occasional update to add features, but these have been few and far between lately because these libraries are essentially complete.

4) The difference is that Java keeps growing as a language and that adds cognitive complexity. The bigger the language is the more things you have to keep in your head working with it, the more patterns you have to know, the more styles you end up seeing. All of this makes the language harder to use effectively, and creates room for errors.

The value of Clojure is that it's a small and focused language. It's stayed largely the same over the years, and people tend to use a common set of patterns working with it. I'd much rather have a small and expressive language than a large and complex one.

Furthermore, Clojure is completely different from Java semantically. It defaults to immutability, and it encourages much better patterns out of the box than Java. Personally, I don't think you can just keep bolting things onto Java to achieve parity with that.
Thanks throwup!
Still a pandemic, not an endemic. No scientific body has declared we have moved past the pandemic.

Now our health care systems are at the edge of their breaking point, people disregard spreading it through the community. We’re likely hitting another wave soon. Not good.

In the US, we have had a sustained 400-500 dying a day. The 4th leading cause of death, on average. That’s a huge deal for something that didn’t exist a few years ago, but no one cares.

Then there’s an economy that is being hit hard by millions of people with long covid symptoms that can’t work anymore. We don’t have an answer for that yet. But who cares.

But the sad part is I think you’re probably right. At least in the US, we are rugged individualists. Public health takes a back seat to that, because it would mean changing one’s one behavior for the good of many. So yeah, what else is there to do as a society.
