Understanding how tokens get passed around. The pattern in Gitlab seems to be much more explicit.

Protected branches and associated secrets. Much cleaner construct on gitlab.

GitHub actions defacto seems to be tracing yaml to compiled JavaScript to hopefully that right source to shell commands.

Gitlab seems to be yaml to shell commands.

Nested projects. Nice midspot between monorepo and access control management.

API. I may be out of date on it but I recall the gitlab apis as pretty sensible. The github apis for administration has a very odd rest/graphql split.

I got ours all used in bundles. The box itself is rather repairable (broken silicone ears, dead sd card, dead battery) and there are sometimes very good deals on Kleinanzeigen classified ads.

Also what helps: resale value is great, so after the Tonies have had their time and your kids become older... just sell them off.
I subscribed until they price hiked it like 45% in one go a couple of months ago in my country. Now the price for it is equal to, or in some cases even more expensive than the services that actually produce their own high quality movies/tv shows.
Not as far as I know used for supplies. Yaks/Sherpas are cheaper. They do get used for rescues though.
> If you want them to offer an ad-free tier, tell them that directly! Given that they are clearly thinking about it suggests they might listen to you.

The first thing I did the other day was emailing Nilay Patel, editor in chief at The Verge, to share my thoughts on the subject.

That’s before I posted on my site. As for “ripping off the band aid”, again, that’s nonsense. I’m not saying they should drop ads. They should figure out how much a user is worth and then price their membership accordingly.

The vast, vast majority won’t switch anyway because that’s the reality of today’s web.

As for your first point, I’d not have noticed that because I run multiple adblockers everywhere and I am THRILLED that I can now support in other ways.
The claim was they don’t care about inequality. That’s obviously untrue.

They might not care about specific instances of inequality, but the distinction is important because, for example, other people experience different instances and clearly OP’s “caringness” is highly modulated by their information. Who’s to say they just actually have no fucking clue how bad inequality can be (in either direction), then it’s no surprise at all it doesn’t bother them.

To make it more explicit: it doesn’t bother me either that people have jets or fancy cars. I cannot draw from that observation that “inequality doesn’t bother me.” And you certainly can’t draw from that the suggestion that certain forms or intensities of inequality don’t yield bad outcomes in society totally aside from GP’s personal emotional state.
"this as a Rust crate, where you can write your own APIs in Rust and compile the whole thing to a single file"

not quite the same but try loco.rs, for me its great
Ah, I'd only know the title, "all your base are belong to us", haha.
LOL, for real. Thanks!

Those sayings really have a nice flow to them.
Why? And why would Gitlab be worth $8billion?

I seriously don't understand the deals being made in tech. Most of the makes no sense, not even retrospectively. I get Microsoft buying Github, that was a part of their open source strategy and they've always put a high value on developers.
Can’t help you with the Bay Area specifically, but I would look for smaller remote companies working in non-trendy fields. Stuff like B2B for plumbers, or WordPress plugins.
Yes, as I saw someone say - I wanted robots to do my dishes, laundry, and clean up my house so I can spend more time on art.

Not a robot to do my art so I can spend more time on dishes, laundry and cleaning.
I thought it was going to be like OpenResty but with rust instead of lua.
When I was a student, around 1992-93, I did shift work for a few months in an MS production facility in Dublin. When it was slack I got assigned to degaussing floppies - most of them were "Microsoft OS/2 Version 1.0" install media. I never kept any for posterity :/
As long as those publishers are doling out unsolicited advice on what to buy and who to trust and what to believe (while hovering up all personal information they can), they don't really get to complain.
Come on Anthrophic! Match (or beat!) the price with an unlimited Sonnet plan and you have my money. The usage limits are very frustrating (but understandable given economics).
Before that, they did a bait and switch and added free videos to their package delivery service.

Beyond that, there's no lock-in to a video service beyond any exclusive show you're currently watching, so your decision to continue paying is on you.
That is a great quote, thank you.
YouTube is a US company with US costs. It might not be worth it to provide the service at a rate that Liberians can afford. The reason they do so now is because the ad-driven model allows them to extract a lot more value out of the US (or other more affluent) customers than those people would reasonably be willing to pay for.
Yeah they will. Surgeons aren’t in it for the money, they’re in it for the glory.

Most doctors, nurses, EMTs, etc. would work for free if they could magically have them and their families taken care of, as evidenced by how much they go well above and beyond the requirements of their job, working heroic hours, buying stuff out of pocket when the system fails them, etc.

Not all health care professionals, but 90% of the ones I’ve met.
Since HN is about innovation and emergent phenomena—-sure, money in politics is not novel.

Besides Twitter, two things are politically innovative:

- the major lottery, $1m to maybe 40 people who signed a petition in support of the Constitution. Quite cynical, because Trump explicitly prefers to suspend the Constitution.

- naming a program after Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Even more cynical because Trump’s people only cared about a Supreme Court that would defy her.

So a voter looking for law and order might see Musk and Trump as equally disingenuous on that. Which is not innovative, especially over the past 9 years. But it’s very innovative to rely on a new set of feelings that the richest man in the world will improve the lives of Americans by forcing the government to be more convenient for him.
The pen's main function is to point at things in the TipToi books and its integrated speaker explains the thing being pointed at, or plays a song or whatever the book is about. There is a huge catalogue of books for e.g. learning names of things in the kitchen, at a farm, fairy tales and even languages etc. It's great stuff and works well

There are different models and the newest one has a record feature as well as wifi (for asset downloads, versions before need a download companion app on the PC/mac).

I recently had a GitHub patch accepted: https://github.com/primer/css/pull/2680

Hi Katie, thank you and hope you will find the app useful, if you get to it. I can say only good things about the Hetzner's performance, availability and support.
My first reaction was: this is super cool. I can't say whether I'll stick to it as I often read HN via newsboat and https://hnrss.org/frontpage, but I'll give it a try! Thanks for sharing!
Because, let's be fair, most of us STEM people are no longer educated in the classics the way some were 50 years ago.
If you know what you are doing and have time, you can rebuild the bombs.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. Apple is a huge hardware machine, and has been, since Day One. They not only have to deal with manufacturing hardware, but also promotion and distribution, which is not for the faint of heart. Most of Intel's work is B2B, while Apple is B2C.

Steve Jobs was particularly good at playing The Long Game; something American CEOs generally suck at.
I guess it depends on your scale.

The X-ray/UV boundary (10nm) is closer to IR (780nm) than the top of X-ray range (10pm). IR is similarly broad (to 1mm).

France has 40% electric heating so yes 2k inhabitants is realistic.

In relative terms compared to other batteries it might look gigantic but at the country scale it's pretty tiny.
Yeah, that's fair. Most people's morality is very situational, and oft varies by how they're feeling at the time. The challenge, as always, is to rise above it all, no matter what.
Kind of the opposite lesson of Icarus?
Study finds that 65 % of employees bypass cybersecurity measures in companies with terrible cybersecurity practices? Shocking.
Check out the recent paywalls by EU Newspapers like Der Spiegel where it's a 'pay or consent' cookie popup.
Ok but what if you're allowed to watch the movie/game/etc. for free before general release? That might not seem like payment, after all it's just necessary to allow the review to happen. But what if review sites that give a few bad reviews are denied this access? And no one wants to read reviews after release?

In the end, on paper, the studio has no editorial oversight, but in practice you need to give them good reviews (essentially, adverts) if your business is to survive.

This is exactly how it works, by the way.
you know that The United States leads the world in total number of people incarcerated, right? the consumerist Gulag isn't less gulag than the soviet one.
Astro 5.0 Is Here
Agree fully. I got livid when traveling in a business class long haul flight with the Lufthansa Group, and was forced to watch ads on the screen in front of me. No option to turn the screen of (which was later enabled, during the flight).

It's several years and I still remember this.

779 strikes on Ukrainian health facilities is a very frequent accident.

That sounds concerning. Maybe OSL-3 is the wrong license. I am not a lawyer and spend too much time to admit on researching options before settling on OSL-3. My impression was that OSL-3 is roughly AGPL with a linkage exception to account for both use-cases of using it as a stand-alone service or as a rust library. Maybe a dual license would have been more appropriate? TBH, I'm also not sure I fully grasp: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#OSL
Why does Russia bomb medical facilities, hospitals, and maternities in Ukraine? Why did they do the same in Chechnya?

It's terrorism and one of the many crimes of genocide Russia is committing in Ukraine:

> A mental element: the "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such"; and
A physical element, which includes the following five acts, enumerated exhaustively: Killing members of the group; Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group [0]

While the comparisons to Nazi Germany don't make sense, because Nazis were their own thing, Putin's Russia is also their own thing and should have a reserved space in History for their atrocities. Their contributions to people's misery are enough to sustain their place.

Like people forget the propaganda campaign about freezing Ukrainians in the winter after the destruction of their power grid? This was boasted with pride on Russian propaganda, there's pride in making Ukrainians suffer.[1][2]

I heard people were optimistic about their GPU drivers for AI when comparing them to AMD at least, I have a few friends that seem happy with each major driver version update they get for gaming as well so I'm optimistic that they can eventually figure out the software side of things.
Yes, it has changed a bit, but not much.
Yes, I agree, and I also don't think that ads in printed newspapers and magazines are a problem, for example.

If I were to propose a general law to regulate advertisements, then it would be that if you serve content that qualifies as being an advertisement to a user, then the choice of advertisement must be independent of any data about that user. This includes the username and any details the user has entered or which has been collected as the user has been using the service, and also any ephemeral data associated with the session such as IP address. That is, the choice of ad is completely parametric in the user; if two users request the content from different locations, then they should in principle be served the same ad (ignoring other state such as ad impression counters which would still be allowed).

This would probably not be good for the ad-tech industry but I think it could remove many of the perverse incentives leading to excessive data collection.
// Powering the phone off via the button won't work on modern phones, since the hardware power button has become the tool to invoke an assistant.

ALL versions of Android OS allows you to set the power button back to power on long-press - you just have to go back into settings to change it; although the Pixel range had a recent update change to Gemini as default. Similar to the double-tap for quick camera.
"an invite" is not specifically techspeak because it's widely used outside tech (esp. in US English), unlike "an ask".

Dictionaries say "an invite" has been used as a noun for centuries.

Just to clarify — hiring on a global level means an employer is competing in the global market, offering a global rate for a role.

There is an ex-Uber engineer on YouTube who has a video breaking down SWE salaries by local, regional, global and probably more levels. If you can compete at a global level (companies around the world want to hire you), the employers have no chance to get an expert like you if they don’t pay the global rate, even in Poland (for games). If you only compete in the local market, then the local economy becomes relevant and you get salary differences between East/South and West EU.

By working in Germany I meant living in LT and being employed in DE. I only have an example of living in the UK and being employed in IT in my experience, but it wasn’t difficult. I just had to pay my primary taxes (against salary) there.
Fake planning is the real evil. This is the kind where your entire quarter/fiscal year is spoken for in an elaborate tree of initiatives/milestones/epics/tasks painstakingly negotiated over months by your boss and many other parties without any input from you. First day of the quarter, you are invited to learn what inscrutable drivel is written in your tickets, and what totally random time estimates it has been given. Since this is immutable now and your performance review depends on being seen to have completed it, you start plotting ways to trick various people into explaining what they thought they were writing down. Of course you're also "doing agile" so you have to pack all these tickets into "sprints" (a synonym for fortnights). Since all your work for the quarter is already known, this is a simple matter of deciding on day 1 the exact order you will work on it all for the next 3 months. Any deviation from this plan is considered unprofessional. You are doomed. You pour a cocktail, boot your workstation and log into your daily standup with the other prisoners. It's a beautiful day but you'll be inside playing with JIRA and arguing over the meaning of "implement" versus "create" with a "technical PM" that doesn't know what Linux is.
If anything LLMs have delayed AGI by a decade by rerouting massive amounts of funding and attention away from promising areas and into stochastic parrots
Not force, just the veiled threat that if you don't pay you won't have healthcare.

Everyone will require healthcare at some point, and at the points where you need the most you can't go do some window shopping and price comparison. Why make it more difficult, cumbersome, expensive, and bureaucratic? Ideologues can be rather illogical.
I don't think it was a perfect storm going on , but rather since today Linux is popular & strong , you are retracing it to it having a perfect storm and nothing can come close to it .

That being said , I still think that this wouldn't reach mass adoption "just for being an alternative to linux" and that this has to have a specific purpose

For example serenity os has a really cool old - ui and some people think its a fun os in general , out of which came the ladybird project.

Redox os is trying to write it in rust , something which can have some practical meaning in my opinion
I thought so too until I checked, but the references I cite above say 'an invite' has also been used since the 17th century, at least for US English.
Really enjoyed that you just run and fun from the browser.

Doom wasn't loading for me (Brave browser on Ubuntu without javascript disablers).

Very good work. It was fun without doubt.

It's interesting because it actually endangers the junior dev job market in the present.

And in the near future the mid/senior level will have no replacements as we've under-hired juniors and therefore don't have a pipeline of 5YOE/10YOE/etc devs who have learned to stop being juniors.

Why repeat something that's exactly mentioned in the very opening of the article?
You're right, someone being a billionaire has no impact on me, I don't care. But not having enough money to eat or pay for shelter, or having to take any crappy job because I'm desperate... that makes me unhappy.
Why would Google want it? They shutdown Google code and Amazon is shutting down CodeCommit.

I think it would make more sense for a number of companies to invest in Gitlab, to ensure that there is a 3rd. party tool available, as to not "force" users into the hands of Github and Microsoft.

That's probably the best case, Google, Amazon, IBM, JetBrains and a few others create a company, with themselves on the board, and tasks that company with buying and running Gitlab. Having Google alone buy it and you may as well just migrate now pending the inevitable disinterest and shutdown. So I guess that I disagree, Gitlab makes more sense as an independent company, that it does as part of companies that already had failed competing products.

My guess is the ever popular MicroFocus (Now OpenText) who will buy everything that it on the edge of popularity.
Okay, and probably true, but the difference with newspaper is, it would be prohibitively expensive to produce different versions of the same newspaper for different subscription options, while it's trivial to do on the web.

Why not offer an ad-free tier?
Like those 88x31 ads^Waffiliate links. I have never been bothered by them. If anything, I actually stop to look at them and maybe click one or two. The funny gifs get a click just for being funny.

Nowadays they are rare outside places like Neocities, but it is true that I don't know of anyone who has gone out of their way to add an adblock rule to block those.
Joel's blog posts should be hung in the Louvre.
Why do you think website operators want to place those third party cookies on your PC?

There's only one legitimate use for them, which is for ancient corporate login workflows that shouldn't exist anymore. Every other use of them generally is just for targeted advertising, and with it sale of data, or using them for internal analytics.

Usually they don't really mention the selling data part upfront; it's hidden somewhere in the giant modals that they make you click through. There's also the related problem that Google is an information guzzler, and anything that enters it's ecosystem has a chance to get used by them for advertising, meaning that these giant modals also get shown for webpages that use Analytics. That last one is how you often see sites without ads get those giant modals.

Arguably they should've been blocked by the user agent years ago, and Mozilla has already done so. Google however cannot do so with Chrome because of their conflict of interest in the ad market; the UK has determined that if Chrome kills third party cookies, all their replacements would just punt Google into unfair competition. It's probably the strongest argument I can think of as to why Chrome should be split off from Google - a browser that cannot meaningfully protect a user against bad actors because of the operator being a monopolist bad actor shouldn't be used at all.

Mere (same site) login cookies require no modals or confirmation since the user implicitly consents to them when they authenticate (most users expect their login to be preserved when they changes pages and/or reload the site.) That said, it's still considered a courtesy/good practice to inform users before placing them regardless.
I don't know, I think that's always been a possibility. Hitting massive civilian infrastructure has always been kind of a MAD thing. And hard to spin as anything other than a war crime - floodplains covered in civilian bodies looks bad.

What seems scarier to me is the newer possibility of a huge number of very small remote attacks that utterly devastate the fabric of civilian systems, but none of them individually look like egregious war crimes. With the right PR, they can be defended as "limited" and "surgical" attacks denying "dual-use" infrastructure. Put all the blame for "looking suspicious" onto the locals with advance warning. Solar panels on the roof? Just like a command post. Radio antenna, looks like a communications relay. Fuel tanks? Vehicle pool. You can even give notice of all the strikes, you don't need to bomb them personally, they'll be out of mind without food, water, sewerage, healthcare or heating. For bonus points, then you can blame the defending government for failures of governance when they can't organise, say, waste treatment any more.
I've asked NYT, WaPo, and the non-profit Chicago Sun Times for an ad-free tier (no ads displayed in their apps) and they've all said "we don't offer an ad-free tier".
Please clarify what you mean. On what basis do you say this?

Unless I’m misunderstanding, I disagree. If you reply, I’ll bet I can convince you.

This encapsulates neoliberal environmentalism perfectly! Lets expand airport which greatly increase CO2 outflows and pretend we are "environmental" by building a roof made of trees.

It would do more good to make flying less attractive (more difficult) and unpleasant. Airports should reflect the ugliness of what they do to the environment. It should feel,a and smell, worse than walking into a 70s porn theater.
Pinot is something I haven't had any personal experience with, so that's why it wasn't on the list - same with StarRocks, or Druid.

Something for me to look into next year, clearly.
There were many available in that timescale.

QNX
DR Concurrent CPM which became Concurrent DOS
DR FlexOS
PC-MOS

I seem to recall seeing a few others advertised in magazines at the time.

As to DESQview, it had DESQview/X as an addition.

As to unique bits, what OS/2 had was memory protection, but then so did QNX and FlexOS, I'm not sure about PC-MOS.
