If a primary stated goal is self-hosting private repositories, why would you expect them to self-host?

Especially when it's an open-source project and GitHub is a large nexus of OSS development.

The reason that web apps such as Dropbox currently go to all the effort of a public DNS record (www.dropboxlocalhost.com) resolving to 127.0.0.1 plus an SSL certificate for that domain, plus mutual authentication after the websocket is established, is because it's currently the only pragmatic way to setup a non-"mixed content" connection to a localhost websocket server. It doesn't increase security as you point out. It's just that it's the only way to do it.

Any other connection would be blocked by browsers (e.g. a connection from https web app to a non-tls ws localhost server). The bug ticket referred to would seek to block this last remaining way of connecting, forcing localhost daemons to connect to the web app via server proxy.
We switched to it 6 months ago and are loving it. We have about 20 developers interacting with it and recently people are starting to move more and more project management and analysis tasks in alongside the code stuff (engineering/modeling/design company).
What precise benefits do you look for?

Bear in mind "compile to native code" is a bit vague. JVMs compile bytecodes to native code too, they just do it on the fly instead of ahead of time. If you mean "single executable" then there are ways to do that with Java too, check out the downloadable demos on the Avian website. But many native apps are not single files and have lots of libraries they depend on, so the distinction there isn't obvious either.
I wrote up an essay of the three key things that every Git server should have, features that if are missing cause users to decided to look around for alternatives. And you are right, "Written in X" is not on that list.

Don't forget that low-end servers that make great low-cost bittorrent machines also often have very limited memory (512Mb or even 256Mb RAM for a cheap VPS are not uncommon). I am very pleased that you take memory use into consideration.
After having a look at duplicity [1], it actually reads as pretty decent. I still wonder why research is needed for such a thing, instead of Cannonical taking it, installing a good default script, adding some GUI in their installation image (choosing your sftp backup target, username, password (managed by keyring)), so everyone would already be on the right path.

My thought process as I'm reading/scrolling:

"So, Instagram?"

"Instagram... This is Instagram."

"OOOHH, that's how it's NOT Instagram. Why didn't they say so earlier? That weird copy about Shakespeare and 'trailing' [sic] wasn't actually an ad for Instagram."

Be direct and get to your value proposition much sooner than 3 pages down or whatever. I actually could see myself using this app, or at least trying it, but not when the entire hook upfront is "share photos."

Also, the name is very bad. I get it, "must do, must drink, must see," etc. The URL alone makes me twitch.

POM(6) FreeBSD Games Manual POM(6)

NAME
pom — display the phase of the moon

SYNOPSIS
pom [-p] [-d yyyy.mm.dd] [-t hh:mm:ss]

DESCRIPTION
The pom utility displays the current phase of the moon. Useful for
selecting software completion target dates and predicting managerial
behavior.

Use the -p option to print just the phase as a percentage.

Use the arguments -d and -t to specify a specific date and time for which
the phase of the moon has to be calculated. If -d but not -t has been
specified, it will calculate the phase of the moon on that day at mid‐
night.

It's not a matter of cost, we'll just never trust a third party for hosting our code.
It's also often promulgated as a "we should just let people in the third world die" kind of thing, even though, objectively, first worlders are consuming way more resources. That makes it pretty distasteful to me.
Not disputing the likelihood of pilot error, but note that the pilot had nearly 3000 hours of flight time. From the linked Oklahoma 6 story: "The NTSB says Inhofe [the pilot] had a total of 2,874 flight hours, with more than half of those in multiengine airplanes."

This 100x. A lot of employers (including several I've worked for) have strong security policies, and like have 4-5 nine uptimes; the security aspect, if your code contains a lot of valuable IP, is huge, and I would be rather wary of letting Github be responsible for my own IP for non-open source projects, rather than the more palatable choice of having control over it in-house.
There was one called rush, by Adam Wiggins, co-founder of Heroku, IIRC. I had tried it out a bit after it first came out. Just now did a Google search for "ruby shell rush" - without the quotes, and it found it - first result, though the others about it look interesting too. Not sure if the project is active though.

There is something about airplane crashes that makes survivors rich. Apparently lives lost in an airplane are worth more than lives lost in an auto accident for some reason.

The thing is all of this litigation is built into the cost of everything that gets certified to go into an airplane. Items cost about 10x of what you think they should cost.

Things as simple as an altimeter end up costing over a thousand dollars.
I had the same reaction. I associate it with weekend projects people post on HN -- "Minecraft written in Elm" or the like.

The claims about it being automatically cross-platform because of Go were also pretty dubious. Most languages are cross-platform until you write code that isn't (or use a dependency that isn't).

Certificates usually use the x509v3 object for 'Jurisdiction of Business Name' and this would point to the national / state level identifier. Ie, in the UK, Digicert looks up the company on Companies House and signs the UK company ID - the end-user doesn't supply the company ID, just the legal name, the verifying CA then checks the government authority to get the company ID. It would be similar in Brazil.

You can see the national company ID inside an EV cert from the browser, and also from openssl:

One of the the things we're looking at is getting metrics on the parts that most people don't have, do better pre-arm people for verification.

Yes, that's reasonable, schedules may be more complex.

This aspect (required rest schedule) was not very well researched. The only data I've got was collected by the IT and engineering companies, and they could only measure working-day-long spans.
You can't reliably get more stuff done by working longer hours. All that does is burn your long-term resources for short-term gain - and even that it does badly, since you can quickly start stacking up mistakes.

If you need to get more done, you have to be efficient about it.

Coincidence?
Algorithmic biases often reflect human biases

I've been doing this for a while and I've literally never met a human who told an algorithm to overweight x[23] ("good looking"), x[48] ("is white") and x[873] ("is wealthy"), for x a 1,100-dimensional feature vector.

Algorithms do have biases, but they are almost always orthogonal to the human ones. Witness, for example, all the recent "we can fool deep learning image recognition systems" papers.

Ask HN: Can I send customers items from Amazon or Ebay from my personal account?
I had an idea that would entail visitors to my website to make a purchase using their credit card, and I would then fulfil it from Amazon or other online retailers, using my own methods of payment. (It's a little more complicated than that, but this is the aspect I'm looking for advice on.)

Will that work as is? Will Amazon/Ebay allow me to spend from my personal account and credit card to random addresses in many other states? Or do I need to order the items myself and ship them separately, which would make this much harder?

(I'm not worried about the fees. I'd rather not explain exactly what I'm referring to until I actually launch it.)
You can argue that countries should aim for full employment, so any unemployment by definition means they're mishandling things. But certainly increased labour supply doesn't automatically increase unemployment rate in market economies - it often has the opposite effect. Otherwise, smaller countries would tend to have low unemployment and populous countries would have high unemployment!
Agreed, good sir or madam!
I think you're right on health/bioinformatics - Seeing a lot of VC money pointed at health/bio, and only expect this to increase. With 58% of VC-backed IPOs in 2014 being in healthcare related industries, there is an allure to invest more there (check out the bottom third of this datagraphic - http://blog.pitchbook.com/a-visual-breakdown-of-vc-in-2014/)

Software exits were still certainly the highest (470 in 2014), but those most commonly occurred through acquisition and far less through IPO. Health/bio saw over 200 exits in '14, with about half of them going public.
I have to confess. I consider myself a passionate programmer. I love coding. I believe that I'm changing the world by coding and I'm communicating with the users through the UI design.

And yet I can only code for two hours maximum a day. For the rest of a day I'm mostly goofing (a.k.a. "researching"). Sorry, Boss.
I am not a lawyer, and I may not remember this correctly. I believe that it helps your case if you aren't officially "aware" of the patent when you do your work.
This Is Water – Full Version-David Foster Wallace Commencement Speech
What JavaScript devs can learn from game devs
I'm coming very late to this (540 comments and counting), but I do want to make one point about the term "NIMBY". While it's a reasonable observation about housing politics, it does invite potentially false equivalence. A kind of equivalence is built into the term itself - "not in my backyard" means everyone recognizes something is needed, but nobody wants it near them. In this case, everyone wants to live in the low density section of a high density area.

Still, this term encompasses everyone from bernal heights hippies who want to keep density at 18,311/sq mi to atherton billionaires who want to keep it at 1,400. It includes noe valley "activists" who don't want to tear down 100 year old houses and mountain view city council members who voted to allow massive new corporate construction bringing tens (hundreds?) of thousands of new workers to their region but specifically banned new residential construction near those places of business.

All in all, yeah, I hear you on the noe/bernal/mission activists. They are a bit nimbytastic, no doubt. But to me, the actions of the anti-housing forces in some peninsula towns are such an order of magnitude worse (and are causing many of the problems you see in SF) that simply applying the NIMBY label to both without further analysis is an exercise in false equivalence.
Phabricator has really good issue tracking baked in and supports a workflow that is esssential Github style pull requests.
In what regard? I only have numbers for Windows, and mostly memory-based numbers which will vary depending on load. Here's some recent numbers I pulled,

- With 10 seeding torrents, it runs at ~3.8-4MB memory usage.

However, these numbers may or may not run true depending on usage and workload.

I'm not a lawyer, and even if I was, I wouldn't be your lawyer.

However, my friend is a patent attorney and explained to me that a vast swath of software patents have been invalidated... before you downvote me, please understand this is relatively new. Like I said, I'm not a lawyer but if you are interested in doing your own research here are some recent US rulings to examine:

Ultramercial v. Hulu

Content Extraction and Transmission v. Wells Fargo Bank

To paraphrase the rulings, to be patentable the software needs to have an "inventive concept" to tie it a specific piece of novel hardware or to "transform any article to a different state of thing" (i.e., chemistry or physical phase change, etc). It cannot simply instruct the practitioner to implement an abstract idea using routine means.

I've not (and won't) read the patent you've referenced, so I don't know about the specifics of the claims. And once again I'm not a lawyer. I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

What would make Apple Servers secure in this case? They most likely have the VeriSign Private Keys at their hands already.

Getting an Apple Private Key for signing the binary is also just a few blackmails and a gag order away. The average Apple engineer sure doesn't like to end up in jail for a prolonged time just because they happened to "find" some illegal material on one of his computers.

The sad truth is, the frameworks for something like this are already in place. There are "elements" in the government which have total control and surveillance at the very top of their agenda.

Controlling the media is easy (see Chinese, Russian State Televion etc.) but you also need to control the Internet these days. China is already really "good" at this and the US is also doing the groundwork, it's not as easy for them as it is for the Chinese, because they don't want to kill their tech sector and the billions of revenue for good overnight, so they have do introduce these things more slowly.
How the iPad is changing the way we learn
I've been working on migrating to using phabricator at my company. The developer workflow is a bit different than that of GitHub/GitLab but it's nothing that should hinder development. Primarily it revolves around using a client-side command/utility called 'arcanist' in order to submit code for reviews. The largest difficulty is working with feature branches which is a newer concept at my company.

I have it working with LDAP + ssh access (a la GitHub, everyone uses the 'git' account to push but uses their own keypair for authentication). The review system works quite well, and one thing that I hadn't seen in other systems is the ability to "squash" revisions -> while the code is being reviewed and updated, once it's finally 'landed' into the repository all the diffs can be squished to a single commit rather than having multiple commits correcting eachother. One of the nicer things about running Phabricator is that it has quite a bit of documentation, and

I've been quite pleased with Phabricator, and the bright people working on it are always helpful in the IRC.

The largest gripe I have with Phabricator is the UI is a little tedious at times (multiple page navigations for doing some things which feel like it could be simpler, etc.).

You can create yourself an account on their hosted version, and browse their development of Phabricator: https://secure.phabricator.com/

Edit:
One other thing I wanted to point out which Phabricator does that GitHub/GitLab and others do not appear to - Phabricator starts to form a model around "Ownership" of code which has been useful on a large project. People can elect to be notified when areas of code change that they otherwise would not notice.

THE EVOLUTION OF STEve JOBS
4th Century AD Roman Slave Collar “I have fled, hold me...”
Sometimes I see job postings from companies looking for passionate programmers. And then the entire remainder of the post gives detailed reasons why anyone with genuine passion would never, ever, ever want to work there.

Passionate people don't want to work for people who do not share their passion. And they have opinions, which they feel strongly about. If I were an employer, faced with the choice between the person willing to put in 40 a week doing whatever damned fool thing it is I tell him to do, and the one who will voluntarily burn 60 or more per week frantically rewriting the entire code base, trying to make it beautiful, and constantly pushing back on everything, I know which one I'd pick.

You're not going to get a person willing to work 60 a week just following orders, unless they are hopelessly naive or downright stupid.
That is correct -- at this time it is only doing file level dedup, due to overhead and complexity of block level (or better yet, variable block level) deduplication. The file level dedup is done by computing the sha1 checksum of the file, and using that as the name to store the file contents under.

I've got a solution in the works specifically for KVM images, that hopefully I'll be able to finish up the next time I get a week off of work. The way I'm planning on handling that (at least for LibVirt based VMs) is to use libguestfs to create an equivalent to the `find` command (with all the -printf options that it supports), and to generate tar file output of selected files from the VM. (Snebu is designed around only requiring find/tar on the client side -- so anything that can produce this output will work). Although I don't like that libguestfs actually fires up a VM in order to work with the image files -- I may work on an approach to read the qcow2 file images directly. Again, looking forward to a vacation this spring so I can pound out that module.
