There might be something there, but I don't think cuts are a very good example. For cuts, the advice is always: close 'em up if they're big, leave 'em alone if they're small. Ditto for allergic reactions: many different kinds of reactions will look exactly the same.
Encryption can be implemented flexibly on systems you control. When it come to encrypting backups, the toughest issue is doing it safely on target systems you don't control (duplicity attacks this problem well). I'd recommend starting there. Encrypted replication is a very interesting idea, and actually helps with the problem of maintaining local & remote backups. I usually stagger them, but being able to replicate to arbitrary targets would be very convenient (I don't like to rsync backups after the fact, because you risk corrupting the target if there is a local failure).

What's the value of hosting your own Github alternative as an organization / company? Do people have on-premise requirements and don't want to pay for Github enterprise? I assume most start-ups don't and 25 USD for 10 private repositories isn't going to break the bank.

I've been trying both Gogs and GitLab locally for personal projects, and like both for different purposes. GitLab seems to have an edge in terms of larger organizational usage and integrations... but Gogs is faster for smaller orgs and way simpler to set up and manage.

I have a couple quick demo Vagrant configurations you can use to spin up both and choose for yourself which one you like better:

- Gogs: https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-vagrant-examples/tree/master/gogs
- GitLab: https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-vagrant-examples/tree/master/gitlab
> The functionality I miss the most is search.
> it may be easy to implement some basic form of search using git grep.

Or maybe have Gogs integrate The Platinum Searcher - a code search tool similar to ack, written in Golang: https://github.com/monochromegane/the_platinum_searcher

We should be equally worried about being overly dependent on clinical methods (human judgment) for important decision making. When looking at an algorithm, you can at least see how it works. Not so easy for "trust me, I'm a doctor, I know what I'm doing."

You can always use another code review tool to do pull requests. You can also do it the way Linus does with pull request emails (git request-pull).

It isn't really a deal breaker to not have it built in. There are other ways to use git than following rigidly to the current github model.

I'm surprised there hasn't been much mention of LeanPub here; in addition to GitBook, it has what I would consider a decent modern publishing toolchain that gets out of the way for most types of writing.

I've been writing/publishing Ansible for DevOps over the past year now, and LeanPub is the ideal platform for me to both write/author the book (though I just edit Markdown in Sublime and sync through Dropbox—you can use GitHub if you'd like as well) and to publish and sell the book.

I've used GitBook a little bit, but not enough to give a really good comparison to LeanPub. But both are so much better than the old 'build your own bespoke system' or Microsoft Word-based workflow!
I watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPwWQvvBWEg where (I think you?) explained these points in greater detail and I tend to agree with you that sql first is a very sensible approach.

I'm probably missing something, but is there a configuration with JPA that can explain the tables that hibernate's expecting based on the Entity classes? I guess that's where my biggest pain point going from sql first to writing my classes is getting the tables to validate and map properly. It's been a little time consuming being new to the ecosystem trying to get my sql (postgres) to map to JPA Entity classes going in reverse. Going from Entity classes to SQL you don't have this issue because the tool is writing the SQL for you (not saying this is the best approach) so without this a tool for debugging Entities would be handy to get up to speed faster when using Flyway or another SQL first approach.

Programs don't program themselves. Algorithmic biases often reflect human biases. If we want people to accept technology and give us opportunities to pursue our visions of what technology can offer society we need to be cognitive of ethical and moral challenges especially when there is so much at stake. Yes there are fields where there are regulatory and liability issues, but I'm more worried about the fields where there isn't as much oversight and transparency.

Why do I rarely see Gitblit talked about as an open source alternative to GitHub? It does a lot: http://gitblit.com/features.html, including a well thought out ticket workflow: http://gitblit.com/tickets_overview.html It's also very easy to install, since it only needs a JVM.

I started using it after getting frustrated with Gitlab's install process on RHEL (a year ago), and I used Gitolite before that. Gitblit has been refreshingly simple to deal with. Am I missing something other than the standard JVM hate?
The biggest pain I found living in London (that can be solved in a week) is bus lines visualization. I find almost impossible to visualize the route of a bus, much less to combine two routes to get to a point. The official site gives line number information from point to point, but no visualization.
I don't know if the London transports has an API with real time information, but it could be cool to have all the buses diplayed in a map.
This could be expanded to see delays, or other line issues.
Still looking for a good locally deployable github alternative that has decent issue tracker (i.e. youtrack/jira/tfs level of customization and planinng support) AND pull request support. Are there any? Is this it?

Rent control isn't the only thing distorting San Francisco's market. But San Francisco won't get any more affordable until it gives up on the policy.

However, looking at the original post, I strongly suspect that the landlord isn't planning to rent out the apartment after the tenant is evicted. I think the letter looks a lot more like a landlord trying to get out of the business. Rent control, and other regulations, discourage people from offering places for rent. Sometimes that is intentional, for instance, as a policy to get rid of tenements. But often it's a surprise to the people writing the regulations. They honestly don't realize that each additional form they want people to fill out discourages people from being in business in any way.

Getting rid of rent control would get rid of some of that disincentive and put some places back on the market.

I recently moved from the Reno area to the New York area (well, New Jersey; but I work in New York). I spent a lot of time in the Bay Area over the last few years.

"Vegetables" are the wrong thing too look at.

Soybeans have about 2000 calories / lb, based on the number Google gives me of 446 calories / 100g. A random website claims soybeans take 200 gallons of water to produce 1 lb, which comes out to about 10 calories / gallon.

That said, you can make huge gains just by switching from beef to pork or chicken. Pork uses about half the resources of beef, per pound, and chicken about a third. Eat your beefs for special occasions, eat chicken and pork if you want every-day meats.

I dunno. Sometimes working towards someone else's goals is a reasonably pleasant experience: if they're paying you well enough to help you save up the cash meet your goals, if the work itself is interesting, and if you have the latitude to do your job the way you want to. Then as long as you don't get too attached to it and you remember that you'll walk away from the code someday, caring is much more fun than the alternative.
Disagree on the first point. Only after scrolling below the fold and seeing the screenshots I understood what it does.

If you want to be among the absolute best at something, you are going to do need to dedicate a good part of your life to it. 8 hours a day just isn't going to cut it.

Did Michael Jordan go home the second practice was over? Do you think Thomas Edison only put 8 hours in at his lab? Did Linus only work on Linux for 8 hours a day? Steve Wozniak has a story bout staying up 4 nights in a row working on the Apple computer.

Should you burn yourself out on 20 hour days because your employer forces you? Hell no. But if you truly love something to allow it to complete takeover your life, that could be the way to create something very special.

I'm gonna try to address everything at once here :)

(Private) trackers are very picky about what clients they allow. This leaves me with few alternatives when it comes to BitTorrent libraries, Rasterbar-libtorrent being one of them. Rasterbar-libtorrent is awesome, and written in C++.

I wrote a C++/CLI wrapper for libtorrent to bridge the native/managed gap and did the rest of the work in pure C#. Awesome, except C++/CLI is not cross-platform and will not be made cross-platform in the MS CoreCLR releases. So to become cross-platform, I either have to rewrite everything in C++, or use P/Invoke. I never got the P/Invoke stuff to work well with the C++ nature of libtorrent, which left me with a C++ rewrite of Hadouken.

As it turns out, C++11 is quite pleasant to work with, and with the Poco framework I actually made some real progress quite fast. I also ran a Ubuntu VM on my Windows dev-machine to make sure everything worked smoothly as I went along.

Performance may have been the wrong word, maybe I should've used memory usage, but I'm currently in the finishing stages of having it running on the older R-Pi boards, so even though 90% of the users will run it on some sort of desktop/server machine, some will run it on the R-Pi where memory is limited.
I know this is on the front page of https://gogs.io, and also that gogs is made to be self hosted, but have a look at https://notabug.org as a website to host git repositories which runs its own version of gogs.

So - I grant you that I don't have epistemological knowledge of these commentors positions. And yes, you're right, for people that don't have any skin in the game (people outside the bay area) - it's much more difficult to understand what their position is.

I guess my only hope is that when people voice a very strong opinion on this topic (or, for that matter, any topic) - that they might consider whether they are holding that position with a "veil of ignorance", or whether they are just projecting from their own situation.
Anything to discourage a GitHub monoculture is a good thing, IMO.

This article is low-quality ranting. The author has a certain definition of "passion" and therefore taints it to be negative to fit his list of complaints. Tellingly, his whole essay is focused on "passion" == "time expenditure wasted".

There's another type of "passion" where it's equal to "extreme interest in subject matter" or "pursuit of intellectual puzzles".

Since the author uses "passion" as "time wasted", his view of programming comes off as a white-collar version of bricklayer. Don't lay any more bricks and cement than is necessary for the construction foreman. Punch in the clock at 9am. Punch out promptly at 5pm. It's all about time.

See the relevant phrase excerpts:

> put in a solid eight hours

> spending twelve to sixteen hours a day in the office

> forsake everything else to spend more time coding as a badge of honor.

> programmers who spend all their waking hours on the job

> working several weeks of twelve-to-fourteen hour days with
only Sundays off

> spend all night on the job

> Put in a solid eight hour day, and then get the hell out. G

>, once you have worked a solid eight hour day, leave the office and silence your phone

>, and ignore your bosses when they bitch about you only working nine-to-five.

Being driven like a slave for 12 to 16 hour days is a legitimate gripe but harping on the word "passion" (or the fact that his superiors label it as "passion") is blaming the wrong thing.

I concede that there are many enterprise companies who need trying to recruit "passionate" programmers to maintain boring CRUD apps. Sure, a lot of these programming jobs are soul-crushing bricklaying work. Their use of "passion" is self-serving and rightfully triggers a jaded reaction.

However, a lot of startups need "passionate" programmers who genuinly enjoy algorithms, solving graphs, etc that are relevant to the companies unique technical challenges. Yes, even this type of "passionate" programmer will tend to spend more than 8 hours on the job. It's because they like the work they do. Jony Ive at Apple spends 12 hours at work because he's passionate and not because he's being chastised by Tim Cook. (Jony Ive is already a multi-millionaire and can quit if he feels he's being exploited.) That's the kind of passion many hiring managers are looking for and the author's one-dimensional essay ignores it.

idea: spareroom with personal weighting.

Everyone is optimizing for travel time by deciding to live in the same country where they work, for example.

Yet the concept of showing properties on the map is flawed as it assumes distances matter, while that's not true.

Maybe just forget the idea of spareroom and create a time-map. You tell it where you are, and it colors you the world by travel-time. That may be feasible in a week.
Dude helped save us all from being flash-fried, I'll give him some slack ;-)
"He and three partners “went into a zero-salary moment” setting up Algomi Ltd., a bond sales management platform to be used by traders, portfolio managers and investors. Three years later, the 42-year-old says the far longer hours to bring home a fraction of his previous pay are worth it. “I enjoy what I’m doing, we’re creating something I think is making a difference, and it’s mine.” "

It doesn't seem like he really left finance at all - in fact, it looks like he probably hired some coders and had them build a product that he oversaw, then sold it utilizing his experience and connections inside the financial industry.

Are you really leaving finance for a tech job if all of your clients are in finance?

Also, did he really risk his life savings on this? Seven figures for even just a few years would set you up to launch a company and still retain some life savings, it seems like.

You might talk to some realtors and investors in commercial real estate. I know one guy who complains extensively about all the spreadsheets they mess with to do investment return projections. He wishes it were a web-based app he could access. He says this is an endemic problem in the industry where there are some very high-priced tools for modeling, but not much at the lower end. A SaaS might have a place taking over a lot of work in the low-mid end of the market.

If they will use Github to develop Gogs, the potential audience may think why they should not use Github itself.

I am not trying to put them down, it's very difficult to dog food when your product is in its early state but their page suggests that they already support Issue Tracking. I think it is in a state where they can use Gogs to develop Gogs. This will ensure that they work on those items which affects developers the most.

On a typical day, no I do not think about sorting algorithms in particular.

Generally speaking though, I do think about Big-O notation when writing something that isn't trivial. If I do have to implement some particular known algorithm, then I typically look to the language itself for a solution. Failing that I look for a suitable library, and only after exhausting those potential solutions do I write my own.

My understanding is that the Northeast was primarily deforested for sheep farming. The stone walls delineate old paddocks for rotated grazing.

Most of the ground is really quite marginal; thin soil, rocky as sin, etc etc. It's possible it'd would be economically viable as pasture-land; it wouldn't surprise me if the only The West won as pasture land was that it was all essentially free out there. Maybe if the gov't charged competitive rates for grazing on public land (and was actually able to collect) you'd see a resurgence of Eastern pasture-land.
It makes sense to me that depressed people are just as accurate at judging time as non-depressed people. In cases where depression has a sudden onset, that "slower" rate of time passing might take some getting used to. But eventually you WOULD get used to it, and start to judge the passage of time from that frame of reference.

There's no reason that couldn't be just as accurate as a non-depressed person's judgment. It's just a matter of relearning the skill. Or learning it in the first place, to those of us whose sense of time wasn't so acute to begin with.
