>The problem is that, after a few years, those same products could not afford even the 6-month delay until changes went from RHEL to CentOS

But this is RH's doing, right ? RH controls the delays since they own both RHEL and CentOS. So now CentOS stream doesn't have delays, but why couldn't the same process be applied to CentOS ? Is the argument that shipping a RHEL binary compatible clone suffers from delays, but shipping something not compatible doesn't ? This seems like a business decision more than a technical one.
There's the story from last year of a letter being delivered that only had a description of the person and where the person used to live:

I’ve seen first hand people hired who’ve aced the system design interview but then fail to get much done. Building systems in the real world is much more than a few high-level components and algorithms - it’s about all the edge edge cases, tricky stakeholders, ambiguous and changing requirements, sequencing and coordinating small pieces of work.
This is the most british-ish written post I have ever read, and now my internal dialog is stuck on the british accent setting.

Ill never forget my great aunt amy (my grandmothers sister, they were both canadian by birth in 1923-time)

"Grandma, I didnt know Amy was british!?"

"Neither did we dear, neither did we"

(My great aunt would talk with a British accent)

Family fact - my uncle (Amy's son) went to school with Bill and Paul in Seattle and we have a pic of them together...

As the sibling pointed out, C-PTSD and PTSD are not the same thing. When EMDR is incorporated for C-PTSD, there are some aspects that are modified based on the trauma history, and some cases where EMDR cannot be attempted until dissociation issues have been addressed.

It is this need for modification and the prerequisite work (sometimes the long/hard kind of work) that makes it less clear-cut as a treatment for this form of trauma.

The EMDR practitioner I worked with made me aware of this as did my regular therapist, and most C-PTSD-aware EMDR info you can find online will also explain this distinction and the necessary modifications/prerequisites.
The psychologists/therapists themselves would always be bound by HIPPA, from what I understand. But I don't think that a service like BetterHelp would be bound any more than google calendar would be bound by HIPPA just because doctors are using it. "Covered entities" and usually just the medical companies, insurance companies, and some governmental agencies when it comes to HIPPA.
> I don't know how we can be confident a Union will just solve the problems you point out.

Unions increase worker bargaining power. If worker bargaining power is low, it solves that

> if you are low-skilled or no-skilled, then it does not matter how much value you bring to a company

The amount of skill has nothing to do with it. Only your marginal product of labor and the ratio of your pay to it

> you are too easily replaced

That would affect bargaining power, correct

> The solution isn't to fleece the company, but improve the average person's ability to obtain valuable skills, no?

Not particularly.

For instance, low skilled job are also easily replaceable. Walmart is hiring just as well as Starbucks or Target.

So why is the balance struck at this wage point? The issue is that there are relatively few firms offering a ton of the low skilled jobs. The firms are forming an effective union (oligopsony for the technical) which suppresses wages.

> Union shops are notoriously poorly run, poorly organized and inefficient.

[Citation needed]

Public sector unions (eg. police unions, teachers unions) tend to be terrible, because the government doesn't face profitability pressures like companies do.

Some private sector unions have been inefficient (eg. Detroit auto workers in the 1990s) but that's also often because the sector itself is immune to competition (chicken tax for auto workers).

Other private sector unions for instance are much better at ensuring labor norms are respected.

All in all it's hard to go against David Card's (author in NBER review paper above) opinion on the matter of labor economics
Can you please share why you don’t have a file list on a left panel (like in IntelliJ, Windows Explorer or even Bitbucket DC) while reviewing PRs? Do stats show that people prefer to be shown a long diff with a tiny tab on the top-right that shows the list of files?

Wouldn’t that be a UX worth improving? (For us, we’ve attempted the move 3 times, but developers keep rejecting BBCloud because of the annoying UI - mostly the missing treeview to navigate files).
We can’t have choice if bodies like the EU (led by appointed, not elected, politicians) decide on technical standards.

It’s egregious that the EU will force a lowest-common-denominator implementation of messaging on independent private companies who, up to this point, have all been innovating in this space.

The EU desperately wants to compromise end to end encryption, so we KNOW that that the EU is not acting in the public interest when it comes to legislating messaging services.
We also have ads in the US where aging actors sell questionable reverse mortgages to senors to help them pay for their expenses.

I create accounts quite often, so I would expect collisions to happen, the cost of mistake is high.

The other problem is that there is stuff you want for yourself, stuff shared with your partner, stuff shared with all the family (children included) and stuff shared 1-on-1 with each child.

That gets messy quickly.
> Most of the problems in Africa has to do with not having enough money.

> ,,Africa’s debt as a percentage of GDP has been rising quickly since 2014, and is 24.1% of African countries’ GDP (as of 2023 for countries with available data).

24.1% is quite low when it comes to national debt to GDP ratios. Actually quite surprised with that figure. But then again, the interest rates on those loans are probably quite high.

Here is a list for context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_public_de...
I always thought that Medicare & Medicaid are a scam to drain the nation of their wealth, until the nation is dead AND healthcare used to be a great deal more affordable before Medicare & Medicaid got involved in it.

Now, senior folks get on Medicare until they've tapped out its lifetime benefits and then they go onto Medicaid.

This is part of what has created the upteen millions of Medicare scams.
There are two reasons that self-hosted is expensive, both having no relation to real costs.

1. If you are self-hosting, you have now segmented yourself into the customer category with the government, military, and large corporates concerned about security. This segment will pay more and so will be charged more. In an enterprise software company the vast majority of revenue comes from the larger customers vs many small customers, so these are the users that pricing gets optimised for.

2. Gitlab wants to be seen in the market as a SaaS company as subscription revenue is far preferable to licence revenue from a churn perspective, and also from a general trend perspective where self-hosted, hard to maintain solutions get replaced by cloud solutions.
> Germany has a historic responsibility (after two totalitarian regimes that spied on its cities in its past), which thankfully means a substantial part of the population was educated in school enough about the dangers that they would not support any party who let that kind of nonsense creep in, probably even regardless of which party is in power.

I wish it were so, but alas no. We have strong historic privacy laws, data protection authorities with teeth and a working court system constantly overturning new anti-privacy laws. Most of us Germans simply do neither care about privacy nor understand why "it all has to be so hard". The parties most people here vote for are also the parties that constantly enact laws eroding our privacy, only to then have them overturned by the courts. If not for those safeguards, Germany would again be on its best way on turning into an authoritarian police state again.

The only reason Germany is opposing this right now is that we currently have both the Liberals and the Greens in the government coalition. The Social Democrats (SPD) would have just winked it through and the Christian Democrats (CDU/CSU) would have fiercely supported it.
> 98% of what you'd be inclined to diagram out and explain for a system design interview isn't remotely proprietary

React and Vue can also be used without a build step. Vue shows how to do it in the "Quick Start" at the beginning of the tutorial. React can do it with an ugly syntax and no libraries, or by using Preact creator's htm library, or domz.

> Other languages have to re-use and recycle words for different meanings a lot more

A rather extraordinary and unlikely claim. Not to mention that words in languages like Arabic have much deeper semantic ramification compared to a Germanic language like English.
Nice diatribe.

Anyway, if it is so simple and easy, it raises the question: why hasn’t anyone legislated this yet? You know, during one of those sessions where both houses and the presidency are of the same party (two occasions in recent memory, one for each party) and put all talk of crisis to rest?
Oh definitely, my townland is at least a couple of estates, at 100+ houses each.

And then there are the creatively named estates, where the whole street name is stop words. One near me has "[number] The Avenue", "The Court", "The Close", "The Drive".

Townlands are optional, or it can be the name of a large road near you. I think there are at least 3 addresses corresponding to my house that are used by official government mail, one of the things that EirCodes were supposed to prevent.

And then there's Minneapolis, which has four 2nd Sts and four 2nd Aves: N, S, NE, and SE. Although once you figure out it's a tilted quadrant system it's not too bad. While there's (up to) four "2nd and 2nd" intersections, both streets at the intersection have the same direction, telling you what quadrant it's in.

Clock slew is unacceptable for many use cases. For keeping system time on a UNIX server or for astronaut watches, sure. For many other things you need a precise and accurate count of how many micro/nano/pico seconds have passed. You can’t just have one second suddenly be N nanoseconds longer and expect sensitive experiments to not be affected.
Well, maybe. Some fought for the same state that turned around and gave GM a whole ton of money. My boss got a couple PPP loans, and a new car. There might be some ebb and flow to the whims of those pulling the strings, but it sure looks like those who are close to them do alright.

Out of curiosity, have you looked at some of the other hosted copies of GitLab? They have "marketplace" listings in AWS, Azure, and GCP, and I'd bet other cloud providers have a similar "click button, get GitLab" setup. This train of thought presupposes that the $10 you want to pay is to have someone else run the compute, "s3", database, and runners for you, versus "self-hosting"

I'm absolutely not basing it only on that, but it is an early signal. There are likely many options for any specific tool. "Used by" can help me differentiate between the side-project and the meaningful company before I go too far down the rabbit hole.
My personal feelings on unions aside, I think some of these points a union COULD address.

- Non-competes. Your rationale for non-competes is a non sequitur here. A union can represent workers and negotiate against signing non-competes if it is legal in a state, which would make a union desirable in that case.

- Military contracts. Whether it belongs in the workplace is irrelevant. The fact of the matter is that there are many tech employees who are averse to working on certain projects, and a union representing them would be able to negotiate what kind of contracts their members would work on.

- Benefits - A union certainly is viable here.

- Outside of work - a union would certainly be able to defend their members’ right to not be terminated for reasons irrelevant to their work, expressing their opinions on a controversial matter being one of those potential reasons.

For our more junior roles, we leave it more open ended because candidates may not have a similar knowledge bases to the panel.

On the other hand, why is such a tiny, tiny fraction of people so insistent on invading the Apple ecosystem?

I made my choice for Apple in part because of its relatively closed nature compared to its only meaningful competitor. But it was a choice. I used to be the biggest anti-Apple person, too. Until I used their products. The quality is just superior in every way that consumers actually care about. Hypothesis: a substantial fraction of current Android users would switch if they could afford an iPhone (either by a price drop from Apple or an increase in their disposable income).

Whenever I comment on Hacker News, I'm always thrilled to get reply comments. It shows that someone read my comment, thought about it, and had something more to contribute to the conversation.

While it's nice to see "number go up" from the upvotes on my comments, that simply doesn't have the same value to me as having the conversation move forward.

Sadly, Hacker News isn't the best place to have conversations. Threads can start fast on 1st page articles, run up a bunch of comments, and then the discussion dries up within hours. Ugh.

If a covered entity is using it to gather and return PHI from/to clients then either (1) the service provider must be a business associated (and is, therefore, covered by HIPAA), or (2) any PHI must pass over the service provider’s encrypted and inaccessible to the service provider, and every time that doesn’t occur is a privacy breach.

But both this article and the FTC page on the settlement make it sound like BetterHelp is a provider [0], not an intermediary (note that them being subject to FTC jurisdiction because of violation of their published privacy policy, etc., does not mean that they would not also be subject to HHS jurisdiction for HIPAA violations.)

For a contrasting viewpoint, I have MA plan with Kaiser Permanente (HMO). As far as I can tell, it is essentially the same as what I previously had under employer group coverage, which was satisfactory to me for many years.

The monthly total premium for both Part C (MA) and Part D (drugs) is $70, and the only co-pay I've seen is $10 for each office visit after the first one of the year.
