There is a field of climate science, called attribution studies, which is about figuring out the likelihood or degree to which climate change contributed to specific extreme events. This is of course in line with your comment, but for speci

Isn't this how most fast growing companies work? Or initiatives from large companies? Your comment makes it sound as if this is just Softbank, but I don't see the difference between this and any other hypergrowth company out there

I absolutely love my Framework laptop for dev. I feel the software support is also quite good, at least for Fedora which is explicitly supported. I got the DIY edition and put everything together, including installing Fedora, in under 1 hou

This is only morally outrageous because the very existence of patents is a dubious waste of resources to begin with. The problems they are supposed to solve are much smaller then they bring about and better solved in other ways, anyway.

That is strange. I am working in the tech sector and it is normal and accepted everywhere I work. Maybe not the norm, at some companies most people work 40 hours - but its not like 32 is unacceptable. Maybe its different for people in l

Dutch here. Haven't worked more than 32 hours a week in 20 years. I did downgrade to 24 a week for a while, convinced my boss I wanted to do a masters and he let me. Salary was just enough to pay for everything. Its mostly normal to wo

I was just wondering if the youtrack UI is so bad because it was generated from code rather than designed. I guess this is an explanation.

To be fair, you do state that you want people to be able to do bad things for themselves, but penalize them if that affects others. That makes sense, ethically, but only if A) people are actually fully aware and accountable for the conseque

> Either we need a nanny state, or we don’t. Pick one and be consistent. Why the dichotomy? You give no reason. And whats a nanny state anyway? A state that actually cares for its citizens and wants them to prosper? Somehow I think you h

Yes it works, and it works really well in my experience, but only if the context is right. The trick is you need to get the real end users on board at least, in addition to and alignment with the one who is calling the shots and/or own

Exactly. This is the most important part people just don't get. Customers are really, really bad at solving their own problems. In my domain, they all come up with a crude and barely functioning variant of excel in a web browser. List

You're absolutely right! And this is also exactly what the author does. Exercising the right to freedom of speech by complaining about the entitled freeloaders who complain (a tiny sliver of) their freebies got taken away from them. We

So then the free tier has you covered right? It's still there, with 5gb storage, unlimited private repos and everything.
464.
by Lutger 4y ago
Why? Why should a company do that?
465.
by Lutger 4y ago
Removing a cheap tier is not a nice, though I still think that if the premium price is too much then you're better off on the free tier. And if that's really not enough you really were lucky all these years profiting from gitlabs

Isn't there support for rootless docker these days as well?

Its not an unknown unknown. If there's a vulnerability and you're a hot target, you know there's a decent chance of getting exploited.

To be sure, use a clean room implementation: let IT destroy all the evidence, always. Then legal can claim 'we don't have any evidence'. source: I am not a lawyer

Why do you need more than 5gb for a git repo? IMHO, any repo above 100mb should have an exceptional reason for being so big, and if it's just code a normal repo is more like 1 to 10 mb in size, max. You don't even need to pay gitl

Being this disproportionately negative makes me think you have an interest in keeping the expensive-textbook business model from being disrupted.

Say it straight: 'I will not add this feature' or 'I will only add it if you implement it', whatever is the case for you. You could add: thanks for your suggestion or something like that. That's it. You may give a r

Did you ever use it? I have, extensively, and found the user experience excellent. Still miss it now I'm using github plus a bunch of other tools.

Google seems to shut down services mostly on the basis of adoption being too low. For its scale, tens of millions of users could mean a failure. However, those services could be profitable, just at a smaller scale. They could keep them ar

I'm baffled how you think a senior can just sense the codebase without reading and effectively explain it even to a junior, who as you just described can barely understand the code. I think you are describing a topcoder who is working

Where is your 50 miles number based on? Seems really far off to me.

This is awesome. And there is also a valid anti work movement. The boomers who mistake that for 'nobody wants to work anymore' just can't see it, but that reveals more about their shitty priorities than the generation(s) they

I don't think so. A/B testing is just not a cure-all and alternative for good design, that is all. I mean, if the pattern is 'don't bother thinking too much about ux, just A/B test everything in PROD to death',
