I think there's a difference between people who study lightly and score high, and people who grind it out and then score high. I'd guess that the majority of high scorers fall into the latter, while he falls into the former.

Ah yeah, it disappeared because I thought I would get more reads If I moved it up in the post chain lol. May I ask what makes your company feel secure about using cloud hosted solutions. I mean, can’t a disgruntled employee easily clone the

Which brings into question... what is so special about the "front-end" features that Git provides? Why not use another third-party service that integrates into your Github/Gitlab/Bitbucket repo, storing the meta data of

But a multiple origin solution seems the most sensical. We have failover for everything infra and services.. it seems we now need failover for cloud-based code. It just seems logical, especially if all 3 of the big cloud providers have big

It doesn't matter, really. Its a black box from a business perspective. Some users have lost faith, and some people will migrate to other solutions. Regardless of how fair or unfair the incident was, it is a fact that it was poor up-ti

Going forward, I see that the sensible solution for all small companies relying on cloud-hosted git is to always have a secondary cloud provider at all times.

On the plus side, this disastrous calamity by Github really made me try out Gitlab and in the process, I will now set-up a second remote on my repo's: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11690709/can-a-project

This has been super frustrating, as people have deadlines and are working to finish projects before Monday morning. What are the (good) alternatives to Github? Gitlab supposedly is Google-backed, so I don't want to have my private code

Agreed on everything. However, nobody new (read: young) will want to learn a language that is not able to receive a major version bump. (notable exception I guess, Python). A language that can't receive major version bump will be (is?

> Imho they should just fork Perl 6 and continue developing Perl 5. [insert "what if I told you" meme here] I meant rename Perl 6 into something else and develop Perl 5.xxxx into Perl 6....

Pretty cool, but why would anyone new want to invest in Perl when it has the language problem of Perl 5 or Perl 6 ? Imho they should just fork Perl 6 and continue developing Perl 5.

First time I heard about this thing. I don’t get it either. It just seems to be somewhat witty but ultimately trite artistic “punnery” - somewhat akin to those Reddit meme gifs with the witty but stupid captions.. just done more artisticall

This is a great anecdotal argument -- I just want to note that it also applies very well, pretty much verbatim, to some other graduate school educations too, such as engineering or comp sci.

Amazon has tipped to bad -- all these dumb services like Pantry box, Fresh now, etc, all offered outside of the now $130 premium for Prime. I'm going to call in a few days to cancel my Prime. Amazon as a whole is just not worth investi

Yeah I go to Target first now -- I like the hassle-free returns (same as Amazon) but with the guarantee that items are verified authentic. I've noticed that Target has, however, slowly begun to list inventory that I am guessing it does

Honestly, does using Google even matter anymore unless you are trying to search for something extremely obscure? Most of the time, my searches are directly for products (ie, Amazon.com, Target.com, Walmart.com), people (ie fb.com), Wikipedi
