GitLab should run fine on a machine with 4GB memory - this is the smallest recommended memory allocation, spec'd for up to 500 users. 2GB tends to work okay for testing but 1GB is indeed probably too small for all of the services to start. Postgres actually tends to be the long pole in the tent on small systems.
I would go as far as impossible, but those proximity sensors cars use work pretty well.
why not use gitlab free version + runners on your kube?
I use Todoist (todo list software). The killer features for me are that it has natural language parsing for recurring things like "take out the garbage every tuesday", "replace the A/C filters every six months", etc., and that it has mobile and desktop apps with quick-add hotkeys.

Basically, I can create tasks on any schedule or recurring cadence in 2-5 seconds by typing a sentence on any platform.

The company I'm currently at uses a self hosted instance, which due to our "security"* constraints we're grossly behind in updates. Not to say that's Gitlabs fault at all, but the amount of issues we have near daily is hilarious (if it didn't simultanously crush productivity).

That said, I recall issues with the Gitlab Enterprise Support / whoever we contact about our license etc, mostly to do with slow or poor communication. Requests would sit for a month before we got a reply, often dismissive or generally unhelpful, though we _were_ on an outdated version so I don't blame them.

I vaguely recall an email about support ending on self hosted instances? I can't recall the details, but I know it triggered an internal investigation into moving away from Gitlab. EDIT: Pretty sure I'm remembering self hosted Jira, a quick Google search shows Jira EOL but no Gitlab.

All of that said, I largely blame my company for the failures here. I wouldn't expect any company to support self hosted, outdated versions. The support issues were annoying, but I'm also not sure how much I can blame Gitlab for that. I'm also struggling to remember the details, so take this as one mans hazy annecdote.

I don't know that "bailout" is quite an accurate description of what is happening. AFAIK it isn't as if the money was/is lost; it is more of a timing issue that is being bridged.

> regular citizens didn't get shafted at every opportunity but the wealthy always get a pass.

Not in this case in my view, but generally I would agree with you. Unfortunately, this is how power works... and I don't know that any society, bar perhaps an authoritarian one with a benevolent dictator (but that is destined to fail too over time), has solved it fully or even acceptably. If we think back to the French Revolution, I think as long as the populace is mostly happy, then the powerful are able to get away with things; it is when the population is more down and out that the pitchforks are sharpened and the torches readied with fire - so the powerful have to keep that in mind, always.
> Moody's was threatening to downgrade them, and they were forced to ac

Ah I was missing that part of the story. It turns out that SVB hired Goldman Sachs to advise them on this crazy plan and all to turn a 2 notch downgrade by Moody's into a 1 notch downgrade. Supposedly they were so rushed by Moody's that they couldn't even close the equity raise before announcing it (which is batshit crazy for a company with a public stock price to do while trying to avoid a credit downgrade). I'm not sure why SVB was surprised and caught off guard by Moody's - shouldn't they have been in communication with Moody's all along the way? Not sure what to think about Goldman's involvement, are they incompetent too?

But of all this just makes me agree even more with the employee quoted in the article. If you are facing these kinds of problems as a bank CEO, get on a plane to the Middle East and get a Sovereign Wealth Fund to close your funding gap, instead of publicly announcing that you'll raise equity just to satisfy a Moody's rating analyst. Because, as we now know, your stock will crater, your new equity investor will walk away, and your customers will start a run on your bank, and by Monday you will have lost your shirt.

It's like banking 101.

Assuming the CEO was not aware is unfathomable. Degree in business, started as a loan officer in the 90s.

I guess he's just assumed that the problem was not necessarily fatal and was effectively betting on it. Very easy to imagine - moose in the headlights type of reaction.

No, it’s wrong for people to lose their money when it’s in the bank. Deposits should be better protected and maybe banks need more regulations to prevent this sort of thing. I don’t know the solution but we need innovative banks like SVB.
Sad to see. We really loved gitlab, but the pricing was so horrendous for what we were using and couldn't be scaled to non-tech employees (e.g. wiki or just reading MRs), so moved to github and haven't looked back.

Interestingly gitlab pricing influenced us to rethink our own pricing and we spent a month building out granular permission controls to allow sales to craft licenses bespoke to a
client needs and charge less.

Yep. I think writing code is quite difficult for most spammers. They often depend on hacked together scripts and things other people have written. Making those obvious scripts fail can make a massive difference. I suppose people who can write good code can usually make a lot more money by getting a real programming job.

Years ago I heard of a simple anti-spam technique where you add extra form fields to a web form. Then use CSS to make those fields invisible. Put a check in your backend where if you see any content in those form fields, you respond with 200 OK but ignore the request.

The programmer in me can immediately think of 10 ways to get around that - the most obvious being to fill in spam using a real web browser, automated via webdriver or something. But apparently that one trick removed ~95% of spam on their site.

One of the saddest trends in web dev over the past decade or so is the shift away from hosting on a server you have access to and moving over to something opaque like Netlify or Vercel. Pretty much all of the data you can get from a JS-plugin based third party like Counter is sitting in your Apache/nginx/IIS log files if you host your site on a server you control, but without the need for stuffing yet another piece of client side code that has no benefit to the user in to the HTML.

It's not likely to change so I'm just yelling at a cloud right now, but website stats is one of the biggest losses in modern web dev so it bugs me. Maybe more than it should. For what it's worth, Counter looks to be a much better option than Google-"here's 200KB of glacially slow JS because screw users"-Tag-Manager.

I disagree a little. While publishing a book is almost never a good financial decision unto itself, it can be a good way to “diversify“ by adding to your professional reputation if you lose your FAANG job. Should OP get laid off and is later being evaluated with roughly similar rivals in the job market, having the book authorship as a tiebreaker is probably a good thing.
Disclaimer: I'm a former Microsoft FTE SE.

Microsoft doesn't hire FTE SEs on the basis of their knowledge of a single platform or library - anyone who is good-enough overall will be able to familiarize themselves with Angular - or React - or any other framework, platform, or entire paradigm - that's how the industry works.

Employing people for knowledge with a specific library or platform can, and does, make sense, but only in a situation where a company needs a consultant or contractor(s) to make changes to an existing product for a short contract and then, poof, they no-longer work at the company.

While Microsoft does hire plenty of contractor staff (orange-badges, "v-dash trash", etc), only a minority of them are involved in product development, and an even tinier number of those are employed in any kind of consultancy role (which makes sense, considering that Microsoft almost entirely uses only its own platforms, frameworks and libraries for its consumer-facing products) - so the fact that Microsoft swallowed its pride and adopted Electron, Angular, React, Blink/Chromium in recent years marks a significant shift in the company's ideology (for want of a better word). No-one would have predicted this even as late as 2015.
I wonder whether part of the problem is that technology has a tendency to concentrate and amplify power. For instance, I wouldn't consider Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates or Larry Page (to name a few) money men... and these men all have very very large egos.
It turns out if you use human beings as livestock to get rid of heavily subsidized grain under the guise of "national security" people get more unhealthy too.

This sort of crap is part of why so many people are scared of the idea of a national healthcare plan. You would think Medicare would be easy, medical coverage for people over 65 or the disabled, paid for by the taxes you (and others) are paying your whole lives, simple and done. Except it isn't easy at all. Only Part A (hospitalization) is covered by the taxes. And it only only pays 80% of costs, with no annual out of pocket max (remember how having that was a huge selling point for ACA plans?). Oh and there's also a PER INCIDENT deductible for each in-patient hospitalization. And you better hope you don't need a visit longer than 60 days in the hospital, or 20 days in a skilled nursing facility or you're going to start paying for that too.

Then if you want to, oh I don't know, see a doctor so you don't go to the hospital in the first place, that's Part B, but now you're paying a premium, and also have a new deductible (thankfully only once per year for this one). Still only covers 80% of the costs, still has no out of pocket max. And all that "in network / out of network" crap you have to deal with in private insurance? Yeah that's still a thing, they just call it "participating" and "opt out" providers. Only unlike a lot of private plans where at least there's some (crappy) out of network coverage, if you see an "opt out" provider, medicare won't pay at all, no matter if you submit the claim yourself or if the service was a medicare approved service. So that's nice. Oh and if you don't sign up for part B

What's that you say? You'd like to be able to take life saving medications and prescriptions that could also keep you out of the hospital? Why that's yet ANOTHER plan (Part D) you need to sign up for, with yet another premium (medicare currently claims between $4 and $150 monthly in my state). And then like always, drugs tiers with co-pays and then the infamous "donut hole" (I worked IT for a pharmacy, the number of their patients who just... stopped being patients when they hit that donut hole every year was disturbing).

Don't worry though, Medigap is here, an insurance policy you can buy to pay for the stuff your national insurance that you're already buying doesn't pay for. For a mere $200 - >$1000 / month, some or all of those deductibles listed above can be covered.

Oh and did we mention that if you fail to sign up for part B or part D within 60 days of being eligible you might have to pay an additional penalty on your premiums for life? And as you pointed out, you might never be eligible for medigap if you don't get it the first time around. And none of that includes vision or dental coverage.

So how much does it cost to be covered by medicare? Well with all the plans and a medigap plan as well, anywhere from $200 - $2000 / person / month just in premiums. Yeah ...

Dumb question perhaps - I'm going to be shopping for an HVAC system for an area that needs heating in the winter and AC in the summer. Any chance that heat pumps can serve both cases? I mean, we're just compressing gas at one end and letting it expand at the other, right :-)
Heat control with a touch screen? Never.
If you allow private ownership of all these things, why should we expect the result any different from what happened elsewhere, with most of everything owned by a few rich people?

And if it ends up being the same people who own the factories that dump carbon into the air, it seems to me that it would be much more profitable for them to arrange for a small private paradise. The air around your house, though? That's more valuable as an industrial dump, sorry. And if you don't consent, well, you are free to look for another house elsewhere, right? It's not the air owner's fault that can't afford one inside a climate controlled bubble.
Maybe there is some deep reason, but you also can't expect an increase forever.

> can't have any types w/ non-trival copy constructors in a union, though, apparently, which is quite the restriction.

That was removed in C++11. The rule now is:

> Absent default member initializers ([class.mem]), if any non-static data member of a union has a non-trivial default constructor ([class.default.ctor]), copy constructor, move constructor ([class.copy.ctor]), copy assignment operator, move assignment operator ([class.copy.assign]), or destructor ([class.dtor]), the corresponding member function of the union must be user-provided or it will be implicitly deleted ([dcl.fct.def.delete]) for the union.

i.e., you need to provide an explicit version of the special function for the union if any member has a nontrivial implementation.

A) you don't speak for the supreme court. But sure, that can be like, your opinion.

B) The WHOLE purpose of a PAC is to galvanise public opinion in ways that suit the donor and obfuscate and de-amplify things that don't. This incredible government overreach is not an issue for google's vast spending in washington. Why? Because it's your fault and if you cared you could move the needle and get it repealed? Seriously, come on. You can't fight google and if you try you'd need a google sized budget to garner support! There's cynical and there's wilfully naive and sometimes, maybe deliberately disingenuous.

> C) It's hard to get purchase on changing this because know-your-customer is... Kind of a good requirement actually? Anonymity in business enables all manner of lawbreaking; sunlight is the best disinfectant, etc.

Yet they skipped the requirements when signing up customers, deliberately, by policy. Lower friction. Get them in first for sure! "It's so easy, just go!" The bait. Then came the switch, the outages and "It's not our fault it's the law" The law which IS unconstitutional and which hasn't changed between the bait and the switch. Google support clearly sucks very, very hard and it's not easy at all.

I wonder if one day we'll look back at "cloud" and think, "what the actual fudge? How?"
Since the other commenters haven't made clear what the problem with this is, here's my question to you: How do you know that this AGI is 1) an AGI, and 2) that it believes it is not in a honeypot? In other words, at what point do you believe an AGI is safe to release into the wider world if you're testing it using this method? Is it safe after spending a day without any visibly nefarious actions? What will you do when you release it and it turns out it had been pretending to not know it was in a honeypot?
Even if that were what was happening here, would you describe "saying something foolish but being otherwise reasonable" as "lizard theory without the lizards"? If you thought someone was generally well researched, but was incorrect in one instance, would you call their research "research"?
Incentives already exist for being efficient - but of course it doesn't mean less carbon footprint, it means more powerful models.

In other words every carbon footprint reduction optimisation is used to yield more efficient output with the same (all available) carbon footprint.
… sometimes, I do think it's merited. We switched to Github Actions for our CI and it's been … mixed. It was a hell of a lot of work to switch (GHA is significantly different than what we were moving from and … buggy) and even then, some of the pricing on GHA high. 24¢/GiB/mo for storage[1] which is like 8×? 10×? the sort of cloud baseline, 50¢/GiB data transfer [2], and the runners are similarly costly, IMO. I'm not sure if GHA wins out, in part because we're not done switching.

You can do self-hosted runners aaaand… welcome to infra/ops?
