I've been really impressed with gitea. What I'm most excited about though is their plans for federation. The idea of running my own gitea instance and being able to fork repos and make PRs with other instances really feels like what Git hosting services should be doing.

Sorry to ask for a source, but is that actually true? I'm pretty sure they are covered. I would be interested in opening an account and filing a complaint against them if they aren't treating PII or PHI in a compliant manner.
Should probably mention you can do this outside of Stability.ai's system (selfhosting) for those interested:

I pretty much agree with you. Do you think there would be any value in having some sort of integration that goes the other way - scan existing test suite code and converts to natural language for surfacing to the business?

Devs are already doing this with adding comments with Github copilot .. might be an interesting way to close out the loop without putting too much process in.
Definitely do not redefine the second. So many of our scientific units are based on the definition of a "second" as we see it on Earth, you'd throw everything into chaos. I believe one of the characters in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress pointed this out, as the newly-empowered Lunar government was considering redefining time to match the lunar day/night cycle.

(In that book, they certainly recognized "semi-lunars" reflecting the lunar day and night cycle, but, since Loonies, by and large, lived in pressure domes or underground, those didn't matter unless you were actually going to the surface. It definitely affected when people went out on the surface, why they went, and--because of the solar radiation hazard during bright semi-lunar--how long they stayed out.)
In a non-psychopathic society, a bunch of benevolent counterforces kick in during a tragedy. People who have extra water share it with those who need it, and people who have extra seats in their car let others in with them.

There will always be those who view all scenarios where demand vastly outstrips supply as an opportunity to be exploited for money, no matter how tragic the situation.

I personally can't imagine charging people money to get in the car with me if they're trying to escape a gunman, and I like to think most people are the same. These laws are based on that assumption (regardless of whether or not it holds true in practice).
> Non-competes being used for fast-food workers

Non-competes are illegal in California. This is a state or Federal issue, not a Union issue.

> Tech employees asked to work on military projects (at places that aren't traditionally servicing the military)

This is an ideology issue, and does not belong in the workplace at all.

> Minimum wages are still like $8 in some states, which is redicuous today

This story is much deeper than headlines would lead you to believe. For starters, the cost of living in majority of this country is low. Companies pay market rates, and the government sets minimum wages.

> Companies only giving workers 29.5 hours of work when the minimum for "full time benefits" is 30 hours

Most companies are not required to offer any benefits - full time or not.

> Workers being fired for saying/doing things outside of work

Yet we routinely cancel people for things they said 15 years ago...

> Companies laying off massive numbers of employees without doing the legally-required steps

And the courts take care of that already.

Practically none, or none, of the issues you brought up can be solved by a Union.
> Yes, they are adding features nobody asked for like crazy, just to be able to check more boxes in some feature matrix.

This.

If people want "DevOpsSec" then make it a feature or addon tier. I'm certainly in favor of more security and testing, but the few times I've reviewed this feature it doesn't work for our use case. We use external CI/CD services because Gitlab CI (and runners to some degree) don't do what we want. But now, we're forced to pay for this feature as if it helps us. Perhaps Gitlab can't imagine a company that doesn't build cloud connected software.

I moved our organization of hundreds of users from Bitbucket years ago after a week long internal API rate limit in Bitbucket's infrastructure crushed our CI/CD system and took them way too long to acknowledge and fix (of course it wasn't documented). I fear this is the build-up to a similar move again, and I dread it. At the time Gitlab was on a much more impressive trajectory then Github and hence motivated my decision, but this has changed and it's largely self inflicted wound for Gitlab.

Part that pains me the most is I championed the move to Gitlab and encouraged all the teams to double down on it over the years.
Thank you for your suggestion. I don't want to locally clone every project and then checkout every branch of MRs assigned to me just to work around their XHR issues

If I had more energy, I'd try that on some big MR to just to find out whether their stupid extension also just assumes all XHRs are 200 OK. That'd be some icing on the cake
These idiots should just use the word "Latin", which has been a normal word for centuries, instead of creating newspeak. Cultural Marxism doesn't even attempt to fix anything; it simply complicates and distorts pedestrian matters in the ivory towers it has penetrated, confusing the very people they're trying to "help".

So, this is a linguistic trojan horse. There's no proper use case for the term "LatinX" except to normalize the pronoun/trans agenda in the Spanish-speaking world.
It's a genuine point, they did incur non-zero real costs to process the order then the refund.

Low effort trolling doesn't help anyone.
Whatever happened to concepts like "probable cause" and "innocent until proven guilty"?
I don't think the underlying instinct here is curiosity, but rather the need for some coherence and the bias towards both having things match our preconceived models of reality, and fit our models to reality. Even though very often there just isn't solid information to make that coherence happen without just making up stuff to fit the gaps.
> I think a lot of things that are assigned to "generations" are really just due to age.

This. So-called "Generations" are nothing more than marketing names, completely arbitrary slices of time. At this point, the only purpose of generations seems to be to write media stories about generations.

There's actually a great deal of diversity within generations. Demographically speaking, kids mostly end up a lot like their parents. There are trends over time, but those trends tend to move slowly.
Script was probably run too early to be comparable to older posts, right? March Who is hiring thread is now close to 500 total comments (guessing around 20 of those are not job posts?)
Right. That strikes me… as a price increase.
Correct. Thee same pronunciation exists in ancient greek for example ευ ζην is ef zin (the good life).

Also the ευ situation is a little more complex ie sometimes it is pronunciated as ev (depending if the next letter is a vowel).
Like I said, Rust and Python have no specification at all, so technically any program written in them is undefined behavior, depending on the particular interpreter/compiler binaries you use and your architecture.
Sure, I could easily detail the principal players and then break that down by, say, religion if you wish. Or how many citizenships they have. You might not like the hard data though. In fact I’m sure you wouldn’t.
I could see a version of GMT where noon or mignight occur when your habitat is directly over the prime meridian.

But then the lunar days and hours wouldn’t line up with earth days.
You think over 90% of people who bought Bitcoin in 2013 are down on their investment?

In reality the most common regret they have is selling their coins when they should have kept them or trading them for newer hype coins that turned out to be vaporware.
exciting! we built (no pun intended) something similar as a free functionality in Codeium (https://www.codeium.com/waitlist/codeium-search) - we just soft launched so anyone on VSCode can opt in to it

it's cool to see other attempts as well. natural language search done properly can definitely accelerate developers by a ton
> You do realise that without government to keep fraud and manipulation in check 'free market' collapses into anarchy in one week?

Can you provide an example of this? Or maybe point out some theory/philosophy that builds to this? I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm legitimately curious what is out there as this doesn't seem like a self-evident claim.
What is political about "categorically reject"?
> somehow he knows something

and/or his public predictions influence the markets

I'm pretty sure multiple data vendors compete to sell low-latency feeds of his picks, given his popularity.

If a Cramer-tracking ETF underperforms the market, it's entirely possible that the ETF enters the market late (after the market has mostly priced in the Cramer-bump) and holds during the reversion to the mean. Though, I haven't looked into it.

This is not investment advice.
Zappos is a prime example of this. Most folks order two or three of the same shoe, and return the ones that did not fit. Zappos has Free Shipping to you, and Free Return Shipping.

And... if you price shop the shoes, Zappos is rarely-if-ever the cheapest. You pay for that "service"...
> I mean, to each his own

That's the problem. Don't take it personally, but if we are in the same team, I don't care at all if you go to the office to work; I'm happy working from home. But, if you want to work from the office it's because you (probably) want to work with people there... so the company forces the rest to come to the office some days per week. So it's not really "to each his own": working from the office is not a personal choice, it's rather a team/company decision.
The "we use email for pull requests, like Linux" is a "you've got to be kidding me" level facepalm

Yes, I thought HN is where smart people hang out. At first, I thought posting on Reddit, but for some reason Reddit isn't what it used to be, the demographics of Reddit is different, the topics and discussions is different, it seems to me Reddit's users are younger nowadays compared to Good Old Days.

A lot of fictional books will contain claims that are true in the real world. It doesn’t fundamentally change the nature of what the author is doing, or whether you should trust any claim chosen at random from a fictional book.
Let’s just say that Pensacola has some areas that you don’t want to live in, if you have the luxury of choice.
I don't know enough about the topic to analyze whether 3% is high or low, but I don't think it makes sense for them to refund the fee in the case of refunds. They have provided the same service, same costs. So I would hardly call them villains for that aspect.
So, before the 2028 solvency crisis?
> I'm not saying being robbed is anywhere near as bad as getting sexually harassed or raped

That's... weird wording.

I would put "robbed at gunpoint" as worse than most kinds of sexual harassment.
I'll believe this need is genuine when salaries for government employed/contracted software engineers are anywhere close to market rates.
I'm sorry, but that doesn't seem accurate. I've been using iOS since ~2015 and I don't recall ever having lost the ability to send or receive SMS messages.
It's still very modest and in it's starting phases (not ready for Show HN), but I'm working on small website/guide on how to get started using Rust for Data Engineering. I've been using Rust in my new job with quite some success over the past months and decided to share what I learned. As someone who's used to Python for almost a decade now, it is a very nice complement and quite surprisingly fits the bill for things like Data Engineering.

Wouldn't it be amazing that each person in the team could decide where to work? I could work from home and you could work from the office. Win-Win.
Thank you! I was pretty surprised that nothing like Mathesar existed already.

Unlike SequelPro and TablePlus, we're a web application (although we do want to do a desktop version eventually). And Mathesar works even if you don't have an existing DB to connect to – you can set up a DB from scratch during installation.
Oh wow. I was all prepared to agree that it is a big smoking gun; and then I got to the "smart phones were invented in 2007."

I mean, not wrong? Ish. But phones were a much larger part of especially college age youth well before that. Were they as "smart" as what we have now? Of course not. But they still had tons of text and basic news capability for a long time.

I think it is still a strong correlation that does need to be shown as not causal. I cannot think they "sprang from nowhere" as implied by the claim, though.
I'm a huge fan of Gitea but saying that GH Actions are supported is a bit of a stretch. Everybody asked for CI/CD so they started working on it and yes you can test it but nobody sane would use it in a production setting.
Ah, I hadn't thought about international keyboard layouts, yes, that sounds like it'd be a pain to type.
Not my experience at all, in a similarly sized premium on-prem GitLab. I git-push and the pipeline is running faster than I can get to my browser. Jobs queue basically instantly assuming you have enough runners for your workloads.

I have no experience with using the search. On both GL and GH I prefer to just pull the code and search with my preferred local tools.

Personally I find GitLab CI syntax better to work with than GitHub, particularly if using dependency-based versus using stage-based workflow.
They also had a net loss of $13.7 billion (!) in 2022. Yes, you read that right. [1]

They had a $429 million net loss in 2021.

I'll be honest, I don't understand what "non-cash goodwill impairment" is that leads to losses that are almost 6x revenue. In any case, the company seems to already be losing plenty of money without the FTC needing to lift a finger...?

> It feels more like a minefield than a joke. A minefield that gets new mines added every so often just to keep everyone on their toes.

It gets new mines because when a word becomes a widely used derogatory term for a group of people we need a non-derogatory word to use instead when when we are trying to talk about people in that group and aren't trying to be derogatory.
But how can we logically separate "trying to offend" and "not trying to offend" stances here, on a social platform, by reading two or three sentences comment written by some anonymous?
I suggest you raise it up (probably anonymously) in your next all-hands or equivalent venue.

As for the legality, it is case-by-case AFAIK at least in France or Germany, but if they can prove harm, they can probably sue and win some money but it will take months if not years.
Your numbers are problematic but you put time on the argument, which is different.

The claim was that all stores of wealth have those properties. Crypto can suffer them faster but someone's real estate investment from say, the 2013 in Ukraine, 2003 in Syria, 1993 in Kosovo, 1983 in Rhodesia... Such things aren't immune.

Heck even without war the rules of who can invest in what can change and your assets can be seized like in Venezuela.

It's more common in crypto but these problems are perennial.

The primary argument against crypto is that it shows why an open, stable, well structured professional governing state is crucial to the preservation of property rights. It painfully highlights all the problems that happen when you create these assets in a way that's ideologically against statecraft.

You can see it as the crypto bros are reinventing government without using the g word as they discover the problems that are solved by regulations from first principles.

I suspect the general rule is that programs expand to use the available bit width, so in practice no savings.

I'm not so sure that holds when you get to this point as everything you're likely to want to do is bigger than that but width.

I'd guess at least half? With a one bit alu you'd need to check the carry flag after every addition.

But that's without digging in and at the moment I can't work out how you'd do anything with a purely 1 bit machine
When you sign up for Medicare Advantage, and you shouldn't, you will still have to apply for and qualify for Medicare (65, 40 quarters of work, ...). You will generally pay the Medicare Part B premium ($164.90/mo this year) and any Medicare Advantage premium.

But roughly, the coverage will be the same, anything medically necessary. The difference is that with Medicare Advantage you'll have an insurance company sitting at the table between you and your doctor. Then there are restricted doctor networks, copays, coinsurance, deductibles. But when you get expensive, you become a cost center, and they can delay and deny coverage.

With Medicare Advantage, you get to spend the rest of your life fighting health insurance companies. And for the most part, you're stuck on Medicare Advantage. Guaranteed enrollment is only in your first year. BTW, brokers are incentivized to sign you up for Medicare Advantage. Their commission is much higher for Medicare Advantage than for a Medigap plan. Medicare Advantage is vulture capitalism.

Traditional Medicare generally pays 80% and you get a Medigap plan for the other 20%. My UHC Plan G costs $139.28/mo with a $226/yr deductible, no copays, no coinsurance, no restricted network. And you'll need a Part D drug plan. My SilverScript SmartRX PDP costs $4.50/mo.

Bernie is right. Medicare for all would be awesome.
I think you misread my post.

When you don't have competitors buying ads against your name, and you already have the #1 spot in organic search results, buying your own name is a waste of money.

When you do have competitors buying ads against your name, sure, spend money to defeat them; you'll be able to do it pretty affordably, because of your Quality Score advantage.

But until then, buying ads for your name is a waste of money. (And it confounds your analytics, as TFA points out.)
Those apparent progressive values are actually corporate values. Corporate values and progressive values can at times come to the same conclusion about a matter for completely different reasons. In these cases it may seem as though the corporation is championing progressive values, but that's not actually what's going on.

For instance, a progressive value is having a diverse workforce because discrimination and prejudice are immoral. A corporate value is having a diverse workforce because it makes labor organization harder. The corporate messaging about diversity initiatives this will appear to be progressive political messaging, but really isn't. Progressives support workplace diversity to combat prejudice, while corporations support workplace diversity to exploit prejudice.

The people who did this will not mess up FP or any other paradigm.

I have an example of that somewhere in my career, with Haskell.

But it is "he said she said" here and it is not me who started that.

>you have to have good taste and recognize when something you do is going off the rails

The Liskov substitution principle is not precisely defined, see the "shapes" problem (class Rectangle : Square or vice versa?). Thus, you have to have "a good taste," or, to be more reality grounded, you have to weigh your design choices against current use cases and possible future changes.

When you deal with constraints on a type, you don't need hierarchy at all. If you add two values of some variable type in a function, assure function's type to have Num constraints for the type of these two values. Then pass there anything that has Num implemented and be fine.

The inheritance in typical OOP program fixes solutions of historical use cases in place and prevents finding more general solutions when new use cases arise. The solutions for new uses cases most often get bolted on instead of being organically implanted.

Basically, it is OOP that provokes such concatenative names. When you step outside, you find yourself in no need of these.
The word "experience" encompasses many kinds of contact, which is why it is often modified in various ways. It is not redundant to say "first-hand experience" or "direct experience". These are commonly used and broadly understood. There is no reason "lived experience" should be any different, and indeed I think it is more of an anti-woke shibboleth to make fun of this than it is a woke shibboleth to use it. Normal people with no skin on either side of that game understand it perfectly well.
98% of what you'd be inclined to diagram out and explain for a system design interview isn't remotely proprietary. People are generally looking for a high-level overview of a system you've worked on to see a) that you've really worked on it and b) you can explain it such that it makes sense.

Sure, folks will ask you to drill down here and there for more detailed info, but if someone pokes on something where the details really _ARE_ proprietary, it's fine to just say that and offer to drill down somewhere else.
Ask HN: How have you dealt with socializing in remote working?
I've been working remote for the last 5 years (started before COVID). At first it was an introverts dream. But going 10 feet from my bed to desk, 10 more feet to my kitchen and another 10 feet to my living room every day in the same house has taken it mental toll. I'm curious to know how others have dealt with this issue.
Attaining high level understanding and speaking convincingly about it are entirely different skills from knowing how to build it. Interviews are always a proxy anyway, your job will never be solely comprise of convincing people of your expertise. Sooner of later you have to do exercise it somehow. Unless you're the CEO, that is. The higher you go the easier it is to make a career out of being in the right places at the right times.
