Google haven't built up too much of a user base for GCP's Cloud Source Repositories service yet (my speculation), so I wonder if they're viewing Gitlab as an acquisition target. TBQH, I don't see Gitlab lasting too much

This is still quite common in parts of India, where wrestlers train for old-fashioned "kushti" matches in a "vyayamshaala". It literally means "exercise school", and is basically a gym.

This might be a YMMV thing. I (well, someone in my team, but that's still on me right?) accidentally burned through ~£150,000 in 3-4 days on GCP, and GCP Support was quite straightforward (and indeed quite helpful through my extreme di

As an aside, I've heard it discussed (on the likes of Slashdot) that one of the reasons Winamp 3 sucked so badly was that they rushed a release that was basically meant to be a complete rewrite just to have "mp3" in the appli

Just FYI -- First Direct is a part of HSBC and has been for nearly 30 years now, and isn't some scrappy little underdog. It's a bit baffling as to why HSBC itself features at 15th position in that same list you posted! (Note: I do
