Grafana Labs is using Github Projects and Issues for ~500 engineers that we have and the extended FOSS community contributing to projects like Grafana, Loki, Mimir, Tempo, and Pyroscope.

It is possible to do, I ack that we're below your 1k engineers threshold (though the OSS side is way above), but the problem isn't Github it's whether you (as an org) dictate a single SDLC that you enforce via a tool and as we aren't doing that and we're not yet encountering difficulties (beyond culture shock when people onboard and can't find what they're used to elsewhere, being Jira). By working with autonomy, and in fact embracing OSS and the community (meaning we can't hide info in internal Jira instances), it's easy to avoid Jira.

That's the rub though, many places do not want to give engineers autonomy like this.

I think filtering out crypto makes sense even discounting any ethical issues. I wouldn't work for a defence contractor but many defence jobs are real, good jobs with benefits etc. That isn't true of the majority of crypto job postings I've come across. The crypto "ecosystem" is very much mostly scams and fly-by-night operations.
It's just a logical consequence of search being convoluted with ads and content you aren't interested in (SEO). If your search query resembles anything close to a question, ChatGPT will outperform the plain old search results w.r.t. the time users have to invest to get to an answer or solution.

It's something I have experienced myself and observed in my surroundings, including many comments on HN that point to the same direction.

The Cyberdog email client featured the first appearance of the Advanced Technology Group's V-Twin indexed search engine. We take instantaneous search for granted today, but back then it was a game changer.

Technical mailing lists were the most common way new information about technologies were shared, and instantaneous search was very handy.
Nice to hear about something done by the government that isn't controversial. Just plain old boring decisions and doing stuff.
Selling tools to commit crimes can be bad depending on the crime. Removing Youtube's ability to monetise probably doesn't do that much harm on a micro scale, but is problematic on a macro scale. This isn't like most piracy where the sales baseline remains the same and those who wouldn't buy will pirate, this is mostly just directly revenue negative to Youtube.
Yeah. Same here, mostly self-hosted. Running VPNs everywhere. Internet is still good transport layer.

Technically, morally or practically?

Technically nothing.

Morally, you are depriving the content creators and Youtube of revenue (if they rely on Youtube ads). You could argue that they aren't somehow fundamentally entitled to make money, but you are also not fundamentally entitled to consume their content. The content creator had to do work to produce the content and YT has to do work to provide a platform where it can be disseminated. Naturally, they want to be paid for doing this work. We can argue about how much they should be paid, but again nobody is forced to watch YT. It's a voluntary transaction. If you don't like ads, buy a YT subscription. If you don't want to support YT, encourage your content creators to provide their content elsewhere.

Practically, some companies have been historically willing to shut one or both eyes over open source/free projects as a gesture of goodwill (or marketing exercise). The moment money is involved, the lawyers tend to be unleashed and the whole "this is just a free hobby project with no monetary incentives for the developers" goes out the window.
no amount of complaints from... everyone about jira/confluence being absurdly slow or horrible to use had any effect on my employer (large multinational)

> tech workers tend to get paid well to deliver one specific project so the industry doesn't have as strong demand for royalties as art

It's not exactly that; a builder doesn't get well paid, but still delivers one specific project. That builder won't get royalties from all the transactions that happen from building a shop building.

We've just decided that we'll special-case art so people can live off the proceeds for work done in decades past.

Crypto trades full transparency of transaction history for making it impossible to debank. It's literally the worst thing you could use to try and do something illegal.

But, if a central authority is invested in being able to shut down any commerce it doesn't like but can't make illegal, and it does so by leaning on private parties, and you see that alliance of central government authority and their corporate donors/clients as legitimate, I suppose crypto is indeed used for non legitimate purposes.

Patreon has openly debanked people for investigating human trafficking rings tied to the European migrant crisis. At least use subscribestar if you bought the slander against crypto.

Reading this news makes me happy because I know someone somewhere is likely going to be have the chance to argue that it's time to migrate away from JIRA and Confluence.

I personally they haveheld back nearly every organization I've worked for in some way or another over the last 15 years. These Atlassian products are the destroyers of enjoyment, satisfaction, project management and productivity.

Issues I've encountered with Confluence and JIRA:

* Painfully slow UI.

* The confusing UX for JIRA.

* The 100x ways to accomplish the same things in JIRA.

* The fact project managers always end up going back to a spreadsheets because JIRA doesn't cut it, even though they insist they need to continue using it.

* The way people bastardize every installation of JIRA it never seems to solve the problem it was designed to solve adequately, or because that was encouraged via "plugins".

* JIRA can't be upgraded because someone installed a plugin that cannot be upgraded too, but the whole org is dependent on some functionality from said plugin.

* The pathetic search in both product.

* The shitty editor in confluence I really cannot believe anyone is still interested in using it.

* Confluence not having support for Git or some similar version control system or pull-request like process support, making everyone to afraid to make changes to documentation.

* Confluece, errors, just blows up sometimes when I go to save a document.

I get that the plugins issues aren't entirely Atlassians fault in some ways ,but in others they are. I believe their plugin implementation allowed people to way too tightly integrate with the core product, not working like "integrations" but actually having the ability to break basic work flows. It was a huge mistake.

I personally use GH issues and projects and the simplicity of it is really fantastic, when I'm forced to go back to JIRA at work, I just feel that I cannot believe I get paid to waste time wrangling these products into doing something useful.
The problem with Experts Exchange was that the answers were put behind a paywall (I am aware there existed some tricks to circumvent it), and were thus hard to access. I am not aware that Stack Overflow is currently on its way to become like that.

Ask HN: Good company culture to send commit notifications to Slack/Discord?
I run a small team of developers. I like having a dedicated Slack/Discord channel called e.g. "commits"", with a webhook to git, which notifies about commits/pushes (only to main branch).

I find that it helpful, knowing what other developers are working on. But I assume that others might find it invasive and too public.

I am wondering what others think about this.
Where is it a crime to block advertisements?

Committing a crime, such as possessing a 3D printed firearm?
> commit crimes

Is this really a crime? The tool does not redistribute copyrighted material for example. It only reshapes video sent to your device, allowing you to decide which parts to view.
Is not playing the ads before the video a crime?
Count on the NSA being able to find a way. Poster is right, this is another attack vector. Being new and unopened is no longer even the weak reassurance it once was.
DMCA says so (and several such projects have been removed via DMCA takedown). youtube-dl also walked into that one.

In general, software engineers even on HN tend to agree with that - that using their paid service without paying is bad, yeah.
Is stealing physical goods the same as removing parts of a video stream?
I'm not sure if you're trying to say that this output is better, but in my opinion it is very much not.

I don't think that someone that wrote "you fit into me", would use the abundance of qualificatives that this text has. Furthermore there's nothing of Atwood's style that I can detect in it. The only interesting bit for me is the inverted assumption that the voice that speaks to us is male, but I feel like even that's too lame of a device for something a veteran author would do.

At the consulting company I work for Linux has been an option for 6+ years together with Mac and Windows.

Hey, even at the customer I work with now (a rather influential directorate), people have the option to choose Mac or Linux.

And: pro-tip, if you are going to work in such a place (public directorate), consider taking the Mac option because unlike with Windows PCs there are limits to how cheap the bean counters can get them and the budgets for hardware is optimised independently of the budget for hiring more people to cover for the fact that they aren't nearly as effective as they could have been and I am afraid - also the hiring budget. (The Linux option is the second best: you get the same hardware but with Linux you make the best out of it.)
OxyLabs has asked their employees to as quickly as possible remove evidence of honeygain + oxylabs from their linkedin profiles.Luckily I have screenshots of most of them and there is clear evidence left behind. Come on oxylabs. Respond to this instead of trying to hide the truth.

When I grew up (far north in Norway) it was said that filling out a membership form in the communist party would get your phone tapped at once. She's older than I am and I'd be surprised of the Swedes treated their communists any different in first 30 years of her life.

Anyway, my point is that she's been repeatedly elected. She didn't get her present job in an election, but someone who's won three elections in a row recently is democratically legitimate, even if the current job isn't directly elected.

Zip still > tar in that regard, since you can list archive contents (and extract individual files) without having to go through the entire thing every time, hence zip being suitable as a local file system (à la opendocument or ooxml).

This work is intrinsically political. There is no unbiased way to analyse centuries of history. When you study history and come to conclusions and devise a system to describe present society then what you’ve created is a political ideology.

What you’re asking is for someone to create an ideology and extrapolate that into the future, but to somehow do it apolitically. It’s not possible.

You can write something and say it’s facts and logic all the way down, but the choice of facts, how they’re interpreted, how they’re prioritised, what conclusions you draw - these decisions are all ideological.

Agreed, and I say "people" more often than "employees".

"Employee" has come to mean transactional and disposable, and I don't know how many leaders still feel obligation towards employees.

Atlassian stuggles with editors like no other company I've seen.

I don't remember the last time I had a problem with an editor except for using any Atlassian product. Not sure what the fuck they do, but they really seem to have trouble with this aspect of their products. Which is ironic because their products are essentially CRUD products with a heavy emphasis on data entry.

Like, if anything out their products needs to work well, it's the editors.

It goes both ways, unfortunately - generalizing makes costs disappear, so to beancounters it looks like savings. Like e.g. having each employee responsible for correctly filling in their expenses into some SAP endpoint, under threat of several negative consequences if anything is wrong, should a random audit find out, lets the company reduce the financial side headcount. Less salaries to pay is legible savings. The overall drop of productivity as everyone else has to do extra job is not legible, so it isn't accounted for, and then people talk in surprise about cost diseases and productivity increases not keeping up with pace of advancement, etc.
