This is just bullshit virtue signalling.

Every decision you make is an ethical issue where you are probably on the wrong side, if you are fortunate enough to be making this post.

Who made the iPhone/Macbook your typing on? Probably some extremely underpaid stressed factory worker that makes next to nothing per day.

Who made the clothes you wear? Probably some uneducated child slave in an impoverished country.

How about the coffee beans in the Starbucks coffee you drink? What were the working conditions the beans were harvested under?

Do you watch/consume porn? Is that ethical? Do you know if the actors/actresses have given consent or not?

What about the meat you eat? Do you think eating animals is ethical?

Mostly every part of modern fortunate living is unethical.

Not that I don't think Meta isn't also horrible
In the UK the highway code was changed recently and pedestrians then cyclists have highest priority in all circumstances.
Given the person cited the Netherlands, a nation widely lauded and know for its excellent infrastructure and low pedestrian/cyclist deaths, I’m going to need you to cite some evidence here.

And no, I’m not going to accept statistics showing a small town in the middle of nowhere is safer. It’s self evident that you’ll not get run over in a place where there are no cars to run you over.
> (Possibly controversial belief: riding a motorcycle makes you a better car driver. Motorcycling has made me pick up habits like always looking over my shoulder and not solely trusting my mirrors when changing lanes)

I hope that's not controversial, I fully agree with it. Riding a bicycle does pretty much the same thing, even though the evasive maneuvers take a different form. Motorcycles probably train some instincts that are more relevant to driving a car, though, given the speeds involved. Also, motorcycles train people better because they apply more selection pressure: there are plenty of inattentive bicyclists, and most of them are still aboveground. The inattentive motorcyclists, on the other hand, aren't around anymore to drive cars.
I start to recognise idiots when they start talking about absolute stuff, like "freedom of speech means you can say everything" or "developers don't know anything about X" this confirms my rule
Not sure why JS is the problem though. You can use JS in small doses to drastically improve the user experience on websites. The fact that heavy frameworks are sometimes used in contexts where they are overkill is not strictly JS' fault.
By that logic you would also need to go down the rabbit hole of what compilers produce efficient programs on the server side and ban everything else.

I think the tools we have nowadays are perfectly fine. It's a matter of how they are used. And I am pretty sure efficiency is not what companies think of when they launch a product.
"If we compare GitHub’s $2 billion revenue to GitLab’s $579 million revenue for 2024, this is a 1:4 ratio, which is already pretty huge."

I think GitLab having a quarter of the revenue of GitHub is incredibly impressive, and makes me take GitLab a whole lot more seriously.
I mean, think of the damage you and your bicycle could do to an ambulance. Absolute menace. /s

Our downtown is renovating the roads and replacing car lanes with physically separated bicycle lanes (from four lanes to two). Smart move with reduced traffic Due to recent wfh culture.

Even as a driver, I appreciate this. I don’t wanna hit anyone any more than they wanna be hit. Unless I can make about $2000 in the process, that is…
This isn’t just about convenience - it’s about the fundamental right to know the products we use daily won’t pose unnecessary risks
Yes, I agree it's probably the right choice for them. Companies using the GitLab CE would probably never buy Mergify anyway, not only because they don't want to spend money, but also: if they can live with the bare-bones GitLab CE, I can't imagine why they would have the need for Mergify.

Regarding market share of GitLab, I would also assume that it's not looking good, but I only have anecdotal evidence. At least we (350 premium seat license) are definitely looking to migrate away from GitLab, for various reasons, but mostly cost. It seems the Premium tier has become the ugly step child of GitLab, but Ultimate is simply way too big a step cost-wise. Also, the new AI features have a hefty additional cost, and at least for coding, Copilot is superior in my experience. Combined with the overall bugginess of GitLab and missing essential features like proper code search (yes, I know, they will ship with Zoekt any day now), it's in a bad spot now compared to GitHub.

EDIT: I forgot one very important additional thing: GitLab was attractive in the EU for regulatory reasons, as GitHub was US hosting only. But since end of October, GitHub has EU hosting generally available:

You are riding on roads made for cars - you are an afterthought. Whether it’s the cars fault or not - cycling on the road is dangerous.
Do they have 1:4 ratio of expenses though
"But even those try not to hit people, and they go around more people than they hit!" - that's how I read GP's post and that's how I think they believe that they are right. They think it's a glass half full/glass half empty situation. When the glass is a rocket fuel tank and you want to go to the moon.
The argument seems bad for the reason that if you take it to the limit it's self defeating. Moving to GitHub because it's cheap right now and is popular at some point results in even more GitHub dominance which then translates into higher costs as they have market power.

Running your own Gitlab instance or your own instance of anything really is by definition more upfront expensive but also a hedge against future costs. Cloud deployment is one example of it. There's been a pretty significant move back to on premise because that's the exact dynamic that played out.

If there's a French cultural element to it it's not "people in France can't calculate costs", which is both patronizing and obviously stupid, it's that the French have a healthy skepticism of outsourcing their infrastructure to people whose decisions they have no control over.
I think the argument is supposed to be about ROI but it didn't really drive the point home:

They don't want to invest in integrating their product in Gitlab, because it's 1/4 the size of Github and they see trends pointing to a Github resurgence.

If you have limited resources to build integrations then sure, I guess?
As I interpret this thread people aren’t so much worried about Trump as they are about the Republican leadership. Particularly the American justice system will get packed with powerful conservative judges. The US is likely going to have a Supreme Court which will be far more conservative than the average citizen for the lifetime of most of us.

Similarly the FCC chair wouldn’t magically become “better” just because it wasn’t Trump. As crazy as Trump is in my opinion, he still comes off as rather progressive compared to much of the Republican Party he is the president for. A party which will again make the most out of Trumps wild ride, like they did last time.

These things will far outlast Trump and his followers. Followers who are probably also much more progressive than large parts of the Republican Party they elected.
It's not about pricing at all, GitHub is way more attractive with just 4$/user/month.

I think the predominant factor is data governance and information privacy. A self-hosted GitLab instance is mostly good enough, until you don't want to self-host it anymore and change to a cloud hosting service of your choice. It's just that not a lot of privacy aware people want to pay Microsoft for playing around with their data.
Chiming in to request HN's current take on Gitea vs. Forgejo.
We need a system that prioritizes consumer safety over a company’s bottom line
Even if he was, then what? Quick glance at the repo does not show any kind of End-User License and even if it had what's the NSA going to do? Revoke his license? Sue him?
Does Gitea offer features like continuous integration, pages, user permission management, etc?
Oh right sorry I did forget about that aspect. I haven't done that for a while with a big codebase with, say, VS Code, and not on anything that wasn't very low latency (sub 10ms, so local LAN). I am mostly editing directly on the server when I do it these days but that wouldn't fly for anything other than the light hacking I do.
I don't think anyone argues that it is bad, Just that it's expensive to run when taking into account engineer-hours
An iPad Mini. It’s disconnected from all of my accounts and has none of my apps. It gets zero notifications. I strictly use it to sketch and read. It got me to do both a lot more.

AirPods Pro. They are truly wondrous little things. The new ones are even better. It’s crazy just how much use I get out of them.
I'm not over 60, yet, and I feel there are likely many, myself included, who don't know what a "set of full squats" is, exactly.. when you recommend such things could you at least say what that is thanks?
We are a ~70 engineers company in Spain, using on-prem Gitlab. One engineer in fully dedicated to the dev + maintenance of our CI/CD pipeline.

Due to a large & spread code base (~1000 repos) and rather complex testing and deployment needs (we sell research robots: many different platforms, each of them with customer customizations), Gitlab has been an excellent platform for us, that we can easily shape to the needs of our pipeline.

The dev experience is also great: pushing one tag essentially turns code in ready-to-install Debian packages in a test environment, followed by one additional click on a Gitlab pipeline to send the packages to production.

We could probably do that with github as well, but I would not underestimate the convenience of having the whole platform accessible and available at our fingertips.

TL;DR: we won't move to github any time soon :-)
Seems like a classic case of someone making a decision based purely on personal opinion (I don't want to support Gitlab because I don't like it) and then working backwards in an attempt to find arguments to support that decision (and really struggling in this case, "50% of the developers I spoke to used Gitlab, but Github's profits are higher so clearly Gitlab is irrelevant" is particularly egregious)
Yeah, this is precisely the kind of stuff I was talking about 48 hours ago, when everyone was telling me that ML will never find any kind of practical application.

There are so many fundamental fields - engineering, chemistry, biology, physics - which stand to have absolute quantum leaps in knowledge and capability with this technology.
What exactly would Mergify bring to someone using a Gitlab instance? This is the first time I hear about the tool.

I scanned their homepage briefly and it seems that Gitlab already does most of the stuff they mention, including the AI stuff that's so popular right now. "CI Issues revolutionizes the way teams handle CI problems by leveraging the power of AI to automatically detect and surface issues." Yeah, ever heard of the /summarize command?

So in conclusion, it seems to me that if people want to pay for something to improve their Gitlab experience, the money would be better spent on a Gitlab licence to unlock additional features.
Your links are worthless because you don't understand what they say...

Anyways, here's another example, which was in the news right now. Dutch Muslims attacked Israeli soccer fans. This is an example of collective punishment because people who probably have nothing to do with what's going on in Gaza have been beaten, ran over by cars etc. in a fit of collective punishment.

And while this is definitely a crime, it's not a war crime, because it wasn't committed by soldiers and the Netherlands and Israel aren't at war.
I think ANIL might not be a great name. Let me know if you need clarification ;)
Interesting, what RAM do you use exactly? 24x 16GB DDR5-6000 DIMMs? It seems that those boards only support up to DDR5-4800: https://geizhals.de/?cat=mbsp3&xf=4921_2%7E493_24x+DDR5+DIMM...

Well, with Winlink you can send emails to/from anywhere on the planet - I once sent an email via an RF relay in California (I'm in Vancouver, Canada). It could have been anywhere in NA though. Pretty sweet. There's a Winlink Wednesday "net" where people "check in" by sending a check-in winlink mail
via RF to the net controller (organizer) who collects all the submissions and shares logs of all the participants. This is just one example. There's other neat weak-signal stuff like FT8/FT4 and JS8call, with which I've made contacts of ~13,000km with 5 watts of power for example.

Citing Godwin's Law[1], the meaning of "Nazi", "Hitler", "facist", "racist", "sexist", and all the other "-ists" today is:

"Someone or something which I do not like."

>A real invocation of Godwin's Law is really an accusation of poor debating, as it amounts to accusing your opponent of comparing you to an atrocity so evil as to be non-debatable, which is not only very rarely a fair comparison, but also is very insensitive to real-life victims and their descendants. Usually, it's seen as an act of desperation, in the sense that you've run out of better arguments.

Don't hook up on the wrong thing here. Everyone makes mistakes but the cyclists pay with their life. Is it a well designed system when a little mistake costs your life?

The cyclists have a better understanding and overview of the trafic sittuation so from the car drivers view it looks like they take bigger risks.
I do believe you quoted my edit after being corrected :)

I was definitely wrong.
I have maintain our Gitlab instance for the last 5 years. Zero issues, and I do a sudo apt update once a month. So I guess some people thought using the manual setup was the way to go?
Ask HN: What legal issues did your startup encounter?
Also, what precautions should one take BEFORE starting a startup to avoid legal issues?
It's pretty simple psychology to me - By playing around in the SWE equivalent of Home Depot all day while making a gigantic deal about the various tool manufacturers and current promotional offers, we can avoid being on the actual job site or dealing with any customers.

Phenylephrine doesn't work though. It never did. It was "pushed" as an alternative to pseudoephedrine which can be used to synthesize meth, but afaik every single study done on this shows that phenylephrine does absolutely nothing, it's a placebo drug. The faster it's phased out the better.
He is talking about people self-hosting GitLab (so they aren't paying monthly fees to GitLab), and comparing the Engineering hours + server uptime costs + related costs to just paying for GitHub (which is cheaper).
Is it then still considered brute force?
I'd say any single syllable common english word .com url has a high intrinsic value that will not go down unless english stops being the de facto lingua franca of the internet.
YouTube is littered with examples of drivers and their passengers attacking cyclists.

There is a whole industry dedicated to selling cameras and warning radar for cyclists because driver attacks are so common in fact.

Every serious cyclist I know has a few stories. One of mine includes a passenger leaning out of a car trying to put a plastic bag over my head.

Another has a builder stop his van to threaten me with a claw hammer.

These days I have cameras too.

No, but if you have some sort of static content hosting set up (like a S3 bucket), it shouldn't be difficult to set up publishing to that with actions. It's also got project wikis built in.

I can confirm that upkeep of Gitlab is rather easy and does not take much time. Just the occasional update every few weeks. For its size it is also quite robust and the integrations it offers work well.

The only thing I can really complain about are the constant UI changes that do not actually improve anything. I fell they are just changes for change's sake to keep some frontend devs busy.

macOS High Power Mode Comes to MacBook Pro and Mac Mini with M4 Pro
Sounds to me like

We don’t support Linux because the low marketshare on sales.

Because you don’t provide a native port, support and don’t even sale? Which is why your own special MBA market sales don’t change.

And that why a lot of people suffer from bad software - it was the first known and they don’t think in long term.

PS: GitHub is usually not an option for closed-source software. Not because of the uncertain development of the fees. Microsoft’s security track - especially for the cloud - is bad. And if you lock yourself to cloud services you end up in vendor lock-in. And that’s also open-source projects tend to Gitlab and others. As usual, GitHub was the first big player.
That is why I got more equipment to home. I don’t have space for much but pull up bar and stationary bike is enough - for many that’s already a lot.

Bike is getting dusty but pull up bar is great for “well I am passing by, let’s do 3 reps”.
While it does appear to work for many, I personally lost about 20% weight or 40lbs, with seemingly zero effect on blood pressure. I do measure it around the same time of the day, same place, nearly same condition... So it is not about inconsistencies of measurement - I had elevated blood pressure for as long as I remember. My BP does respond to exercise (or more likely to body heating up) for short period of time, and to meds, but meds make it very inconvenient since I have to plan it around my day - having meds and working on something outside in Texas heat = too low BP.
That's an interesting observation, and entirely correct from my experience in the Netherlands and other countries. Thank you for making me think!

In a more general case: it is hard to do hard things without a true need, and people consistently underestimate this. Learning a language is a great example; virtually everyone that moves to the Netherlands does not learn Dutch, because there is no need, but the Dutch speak English, because as a society we must. Many people that get rich, particularly in sales or banking or business, do it because they "have to" - socially or even financially. Plenty of people in relationships have problems and promise change to their partners - but don't really change until they must, when the divorce or breakup looms - and by then it's too late. Or, people wait until right before a deadline to do things; for more mundane daily things like work or cleaning, until it's late at night.

If you really want to do something, you need to be conscious about the doing. Routine and desire are important, but the best is to structure your life such that you must have the thing. You want to start a business? Schedule meetings, sign deals, find a cofounder that will get on your ass. You want to learn French, move to rural France and you simply will learn because you must. You want to get in shape? Join the military or the fire department. Extreme, yes - or not extreme enough? Shackleton, Grant's memoirs, Apollo 13 - Time and time again we as a species see that man rises to the challenge. One must only put the challenge in front of the man.

Its probably more like 1:2 or 1:3. GitLab has 2,300 employees, and is fully remote. They also take advantage of an international labor force being fully remote [0]. Github probably benefits from Microsoft's real estate portfolio, but they do have offices, they have almost 6k employees and probably a lot more corporate bureaucracy[1]

I consider it the cost of information rather than amnesia.

When I read articles about something that I don't know much about, I usually don't have time to fact-check everything individually if it's not obviously wrong and seems to be plausibly presented, so I use it as a base theory until I receive evidence to the contrary - while knowing that it is likely still full of errors.
Kolmogorov complexity is undecidable because the halting problem is undecidable. If we could solve Kolmogorov complexity we could do Solomonoff induction and build AIXI and solve (at least one formulation of) decision theory.

The real problem (imo) is that proof search is also undecidable (either directly from halting problem or similar argument) and so there isn't a procedure we can write that identifies trick programs to exclude as special cases. There are an infinite number of various trick programs for which halting is undecidable and recognizing them is undecidable.
Isn't -c:a aac_at the same? And then designate bitrate?
I think the article was trying to say that everyone running Gitlab is running the free version so they aren't a market with the necessary expenditure to be buying addons to the free product.

This is like freemium^2. People aren't buying gitlab licenses because a) too expensive [1] and b) not needed for the functionality in the free product.

[1] "too expensive" is in the eye of the beholder and requires visibility of ROI, COGS, and development velocity.
in what ways? I'm not familiar with the details myself, other than you can't comment.
I really didn't realize that it has 25% the revenue of GitHub.

Ironically, GitLab auth is currently broken. I try to sign in via GitHub and am served a 422 Auth Error page. Perhaps they don't have many users that use GitHub to sign in, or perhaps the sign in page isn't tested? Whatever the case, the first button I press on their website being broken is exactly the same feeling I remember when I tried GitLab for the first time about 8 years ago.
