Slow is understatement... some pages on gitlab.com take minutes to load, and jobs take tens of minutes to start. EDIT: It's been like that since at least 12h ago though. Not sure if it's connected to Google Cloud?

I was surprised to notice that this page correctly found my local network IP address, and was thus able to query correct network range. I have disabled WebRTC [0] now in Firefox (media.peerconnection.enabled is now false), but the page st

If creators were smart they would always publish on two (or more) platforms - Youtube and Vimeo for example. It doesn't cost them much in terms of time and effort, it gives their viewers a choice (given the choice, I would rather watch

I have tried using CSS grid a few times, but my impression of it was... meh. The oppurtunities to use it are few in between, it doesn't bring much more to the table than (nested) flex, and worst of all, I had huge problems understandin

Just to say it explicitly - the problem with nuclear plants is not radioactivity while they operate normally. It is the catastrophic consequences then something goes (really) wrong that are the real issue with them.

I really, really, really hope this is never supported by other browsers.

Fortunately on Android you at least can install another browser - Firefox. Works great - well, most of the time... but using it for a day without extensions makes me appreciate it even more. EDIT: and there is no reason to use a different

Not sure why you are being downvoted, you have a point. There is no excuse for the way Google is operating now - poor customer support, the only recourse twits and HN posts. I think it also hurts Google themselves. There is a reason they ha

He he, this. E-mail rised in the 90s and was hugely popular very soon, because it brought real benefits. I was under impression that in today's world the number of emails is going down (on account of social networks and whatnot).

Thank you for the downvotes - but winning the (down)voting game doesn't make you right. > They consider Commons Clause to be harmful for good reasons. Your quote only tells that they consider the license non-free. Which is true, if

Ironically, these dangers are not thwarted by FSF licenses. Even more, the persistence with which FSF fights anything that would dare touch the pillars that they marked as "freedom" is holding back any meaningful discussion about

Yeah right! This is not a problem of the HR, this is a problem of the upper management. HR is only doing what they are paid to do, and if there is no oversight how they do it the it's an issue with the leadership. But I don't bu

Actually I think it would sound better - "How to move 23TB without moving (almost) anything". Especially to technical people.

Trick question: was the startup successful? Not that I agree with ditching semver, but the way you stated it actually sounds like a good argument for doing it, not against. Sometimes marketing people have a point.

In other words - while there is Linux running in the background (what is left of it anyway), it benefits mostly tech behemots. Not only that, the user is left with virtually no control over the OS. Good luck trying to change OS on your late

Actually, this outcome is far from inevitable - it all depends on the society and the political will. The problem with loss of privacy is that it can influence the voting body, and thus political outcomes. In the arms of power-that-be, it i

Of course. The real advice should be: - store past dates in UTC - store future dates in the format that makes sense, based on what the truth is. Scheduling event at 9AM local time? Use local time. Determining when the spacecrafts meet? Use

You have a valid point, and I don't have the answers to your concerns yet. I am sure best practices that protect Lucenes of the world will develop, given chance. For example ES could buy out rights for independent development, or they

I stand corrected. I stopped reading after that statement, while I should have read further. Thank you for correcting me.
