I still like Gitlab a lot and use it wherever I can. I think that it was once talked about very favorably on HN, but it seems to have lost its popularity after its IPO (or even earlier).

aws is building their own thing at the moment.

I've looked at your example, but all I'm seeing is a deprecation process for a feature with an alternative workflow, and all sorts of warnings, a timeline and even a shifting timeline to allow users to update. Can you specify exac

Gitlab has a templating system for pipelines and comes with an extensive collections of templates builtin, which they call 'Auto DevOps'. You can use the same templating engine to create building blocks for pipelines in your org,

Datomic always seemed like a really cool thing to use. However, I'm not familiar with Clojure or any other JVM based language, nor do I have the time to learn it. And I can't find any supported way to use it with other languages (

Between Social Media, Cambridge Analytica, the Climate Crisis, Pandemic and (mostly) Russian disinfo, etc, it is already the case that most people have a really hard time knowing what is true. I don't claim to have much foresight, but

Earn ads mean they don't need to make money with the OS itself anymore, which means they can give it away for free, which means its important for it to be cheap, which means its better to use something free and built on top. Not sure I

Amazon looks really awful, that's not a very high standard honestly. This whole article reads as an ad for Walmart. Is it?

Fully agree. This may seem a bit nitpicky and philosophical, but anyway: these feelings you mention are about things, and these things the feelings come from are what is most important. Feelings are never standalone, if they are they are

This is such a ridiculous argument, I don't even know where to begin. I mean, do you imply that every thing that is bad which we can see coming is not going to happen because 'doomsday preachers would love it'? I hope you can

New technologies have proven peak oil off by quite a number of years, but not wrong perse. It is a finite resource after all and if we don't reach a peak through depletion, climate change will force us to greatly reduce extraction. Pea

Do you mean running the oven at night on your own solar panels without a battery? Because at full production, you would need just 4 panels to run a decent domestic oven. A promising solution is vehicle-to-grid, using the battery in your car

On various hardware, over the years, I've had both the same and the opposite experiences. For example, linux doesn't decide to reboot during the day to perform updates without your consent. Overall, when there is not some specific

I have had this question for years myself, and I still think it has a lot of potential for companies. For new tech to take off, multiple things need to be true and often the social factors are the most important. The semantic web tech seems

This resonates with me. I have moved from a big city to a smallish village right next to the city, which is more quiet and close to the woods. It is much better but I would love to go more rural. I've lived in a really small village in

This is incorrect. With some charity, you could say Gab has a different worldview. However, there are also people who think sex with children is ok. That is also technically 'a different worldview'. You see, there is a reason Gab

Let me put it this way: why should companies use value based pricing and extract ridiculous amounts of profits from consumers for their mediocre services, that goes into the pockets of just a few shareholders, whereas the labor of workers w

He doesn't care about the billions they lose because of Brexit either, or about all the UK expats that now need to leave their cosy retirement homes in Spain and France. Boris cares mostly about Boris. Some people do care though, and m

Another take on this is that rightwing has an outsized influence on society, and so-called left leaning is actually how most people orient themselves.

I agree, actually. Bitterness doesn't solve anything. Dysfunctional orgs are usually beyond salvation. For me, the question is: can I say the deadline is unrealistic and off by 2x as a matter of fact and can we discuss how to deal with

Maybe, yes. I tend to agree. From their point of view however, the people who don't value fun as much are whiny and annoying, and maybe we are but probably because we aren't heard. Well, speaking for myself, I tend to be much less

Managers do value the value of solving technical debt, because ultimately these changes maintain and improve the ability to deliver features. The problem is they often are unable to see how technical improvements affect the capacity to deli

I hear you. I'm one of those people too, or I was (maybe). What got me wasn't even the core failures themselves, but all the lies and pretense about it. If we are to ignore our fundamental flaws in order for sales to score their n

This resonates. Microsoft does this with a lot (not all) of their products. Its also my experience here in the Netherlands, especially how Microsoft does sales. Its always management who forces everybody to use these products against their

We changed from teams to google meet when we otherwise do everything in 365 just for the video conferencing. Teams was so bad, it was costing us a lot of frustration and time, working mostly remote it seriously impeded our ability to do w

Just the hivemind I guess, doesn't feel coordinated to me but rather obvious. In my country the waiting time for heat pumps is now over a year. People can't stop talking about energy, the war and their utility bills. Heat pumps ar

You are making one mistake here: people actually do want a different toast if its significantly better than the current one that burns their edges too many times. Chrome was able to outcompete everything else on Windows, despite Microsoft t

Debate can be fun (for some) as a game, and force you to articulate your position well, and you can learn from it. But there are different modes of engagement which are often much more helpful. What people often don't realize is that w

These companies you mention, at least the tech ones, are all way more open to third parties interfacing with whatever products they have or data they produce. They are more like big city gangsters willing to do business with whomever as lon

I never wanted to commute. Not in busy trains and certainly not getting stuck in traffic jams. I also never wanted to shop or spend time in the supermarket getting spaced out by their weird lightning they install to make you make bad decisi
