Gitlab is an awesome data center load tester, the only thing that's missing is a good github alternative. ref: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7978048

That one is a surprise to me. I would argue that the best certainly write more than most. Maybe there's a difference between churning out book after book, and rewriting one book again and again until it becomes good. I think the latter

I don't know. I stopped believing in that the average citizen is really doing his job of self preservation. We always expect others to keep us save and then hastily put all our value (work time, energy, money) into lies that tell us th

Young people usually don't look for "secure" though. But I would say if you don't have rich parents it is even the quickest way with the most success. Even the chance to a successful startup increases if one follows a st

I feel like the juicy part of that article is in the last two paragraphs. Like how was the deal making done, what where the details that made the other city states submit to the Roman side. If it's really all content there is, then may

The title looks like a really good idea for a modern-world pen&paper RPG system.

Joining a startup in 2018 is probably one of the most stupid things one can do. The market is certainly oversatisfied at this point, so the risks increase, as well as the average bullshit from founders and investors one has to bear with (e.

This is called optimization. And yes there were electric cars before, just maybe not as consumer products because nobody optimized it enough to be profitable. Innovation means doing something new. I'd argue that the drone ships the roc

I have no details but wouldn't be surprised if especially Cisco announces as metadata something like "this package is encrypted by Cisco AnyConnect version 1.2.3 https://cisco.com/" .

smart phones where a radical innovation, but how is making batteries, electric cars, or reusing rockets radical? From my understanding Musk is investing in tough challenges for prestige. The innovation, if any, comes from his engineers.

I probably didn't read every word carefully, but does the article really reflect the HN title? I don't really see it in there. What I read is "It grew a lot, and it's not perfect". Of course such kind of project is

That is a very interesting point actually. That Microsoft is a sponsor of the Linux foundation is not just a plus point in this discussion, but also a motivator for the Foundation to report positively.

by erikb 8y ago
Despite what I said in the other comment, I have to admit that it's not just a sponsor but also one of the biggest contributors of commits.

I like his good vibe about all of it, and I agree I love to see that MS is doing more moves into the right direction. However I feel we should not trust him too quickly. Every big company tries to claim they have changed, will change and ar

I think all people with some technical insight could've told you that 3 years ago. But still I'm happy the world finally realizes it. Now it only(!) takes another 5-10 years until my employer figures it out. Some of these bigger c

I found it's not necessarily short-term thinking. It's selfish thinking, reason being that most team/corp/market wide problems usually have to resolved by everybody, while the seemingly success based gains are consumed b

Hasn't there been an article like 12 months ago that described how it's already moving into a downswing?

Well they have a purpose: they give the manager the illusion of credibility and power, and the developer they give the illusion that there would be a chance for a raise if he would be just a little better. And let's be honest. We love

I think I've shown some examples that are really tough to represent in the statistics. Please read them again and reply how you think they are considered. E.g. how is it considered that cost of owning a house has increased together wit

I don't think cost of living is accounted in relation. For instance most wealthy people live in houses. Costs for that have risen, but "value" has risen too. At the same time rents have risen as well, additionally to the util

This is what I was always looking for. Also loving the approach of having the UI separated. I also don't like the yaml format for the simple reason that not all necessary information is in one line. No idea why a transaction can't

The way this is formulated it looks like an automated response from an advertisement bot. Also you know that Mint is a proprietary company which keeps and uses your data as it pleases, right? That's a huge difference to any open source

I'm already quite excited about the likely documentary that will follow in a few years. There are just so many elements that one can't see from just reading the news.

The idea is ridiculous. The math men didn't overthrow the Mad Men. The Mad Men found that math is awesome, because it's a topic that your customers don't know. So they also have no way to figure out that the Mad Men don'

I'm surprised that the obvious isn't mentioned even by the "opponents" of the current banking system. What increases the risk is that banks create investments without safety backups and what destroys economic growth is t

I think most people who care have found that everything is better decentralized. Economy, Banking, Networking, Information, etc. But for some reason we humans don't stop creating centralized systems to then suffer from the bad conseque
