Do you know if Github has released any public information about this? From what I can tell, they were a profitable successful company even before they went and took some VC funding and at that point they didn't have on-prem. In general

Many people complaining about security because of the nature of the 'cloud' here. This is what I thought when github came out as well. But look today, everyone has their code (supposedly their IP) on github. Ulitmately, kite'

I have nothing against the summaries but HN puts new comments on top for short duration and it's really annoying to sift through the summary because I have already read the article. Because of that, these summaries are just comment spa

That's a massive wall of text there. Can you summarize the above?

Doesn't removing features break backward compatibility? My favorite C++ library is Qt; they never remove public API for that reason. In Qt world, we update regularly to get the bug fixes and other features. Last thing I want to do is p

Yup, I know folly as well (non-native speaker as well). But it doesn't make sense to name a library 'folly' does it? What I was wondering is if this some self-deprecating humor or these words are popular phrases from some pop

Had to look up the meaning of wangle. "obtain (something that is desired) by persuading others to comply or by manipulating events." Does anyone know where facebook is coming up with all these words - folly/wangle?

It's a gimmick based on why you came to use the tool. My understanding is that it's goal is for team communication and all these alerts are simply distracting. But maybe slack should position itself as an advanced alert management

Here's my best practices list: 1. The best use of slack is the free edition which has limited history. Once this lack of history is made clear, people use it simply for online pings. Since notes, files and everything will disappear, pe

This is great news. Qt is really missing a scripting language story. Having python bindings as a first class citizen might bring a competitor to Electron, node-webkit etc (Qt has a chromium port). Python is good, but I would love to see jav
