Would love to hear more about this. Where did you go?

by pbiggar 11y ago
I see. Yes, lock in has been used for evil in the past. I thought the OP noted that MS also offers git+LFS (and for free)!

Its not that I believe good forever, but rather that I think it (it being your first comment) was a weird way to take the conversation. Like, why did that even occur to you in this context?

by pbiggar 11y ago
GitHub has added features, and made their product better for their customers, but have not yet made it possible to use from everywhere on their platform. Perhaps that is a big deal (I don't use LFS and until recently neither did anyone

How uncharitable can a single blog post be! The entire post is discredited by the author repeatedly projecting his unfounded opinions onto GitHub, such as "My guess is that some high-level greedy marketing dickwad, completely unaware o

What about syndicates becoming big enough to replace Series A (and maybe even Series B) rounds? An old angel investment was ~$300k, now it's $3m, and Series As have become $6-10m. It seems likely that more angel money means larger roun

Very interesting. In a continuous delivery environment like this, you generally want to test and validate any change you make. Do any DBs support the idea of turning off an index (but keep updating it). That way you could disable it, keep g

I wrote that post, and it was very much about why you should support Typed Clojure, not why you should use it. You should support it for the potential, you should decide whether to use it on practical concerns.

Slight tangent, but interesting: Earley became a therapist and has been practicing since 1973. From his bio: > Jay also has a Ph.D. in computer science from Carnegie-Mellon University and was formerly on the U.C. Berkeley faculty, where

I think he's being overly harsh on himself. As he said in the original rant "the predictions themselves don't matter! Most of them are probably wrong. The point of the exercise is the exercise itself, not in what results&quot

Would love to hear more about this. AFAICT (from using it every day for 4 years), it's all pretty awesome (except startup time, but that doesn't matter much because REPL).

Nothing has killed more people's love for compilers than parsing theory. Note to all: if you're interested in compilers but don't immediately love parsing, avoid it like the plague. Similarly, if you thought you might like co

Sidebar comment threads is a really good move. I have many hackpads destroyed by inline comments.

Not a great attempt IMO. The networking and UI things are a valiant effort. Mixing them with non-mainstream security concerns are a bad idea. You may feel that safe-browsing is tracking by the man, but advising newbies to turn it off is bor

The advice that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is, as I recall, based on similar junk science. They looked at lots of kids, recorded how often they ate breakfast, then looked at how well they did in school. The

In an interview with Ryan Carson, he mentioned that he eats something as soon as he gets up to kick off his body's metabolism. This seems logical, but like all nutrition-related things, there's an obvious counter argument, and no

What's the weather like? (Especially the humidity, and the mosquitos)? How far to the beach, and how far to the mountains?

That was true in the early days. Now we have toooooons of Docker customers, so this thing is right at the top of our TODO list (and would be done already if it wasnt architecturally hard).

Yeah, fixing that is a very high priority for us atm. So assuming we fixed that, would you buy it (considering esp that GitLab CI exists and you already use GitLab)?

by pbiggar 11y ago
Question for you: as a GitLab Enterprise user, knwoing that GitLab has CI built-in, is there a situation in which you would buy CircleCI to go alongside it? Obviously we (we being CircleCI, founder here) have GitHub Enterprise support, and

AFAIK it's only in SF they don't. Everywhere else in California is properly hot.

The question then is at what price point does that change?

by pbiggar 11y ago
The issue for the US is that they want to keep those good jobs here, and so they need to keep the good companies here. If the price is driven up -- and it is being driven up -- but you can get good devs in Estonia, India, the Philippines, U
