   I think it could be solved by requiring maintainers to kick off the CI job for every PR coming from a first-time contributor manually. I would not be annoyed by this provided that regular contributors don’t have to go through this. I think

   It's not Cloudflare who is deciding it. It's the website owners who request things like "Super Bot Fight Mode". I never enable such things on my CF properties. Mostly it's people who manage websites with "valua

   I think we are thinking of a different baseline. You are thinking along the lines of "this should run, we can reduce server costs later", I would suggest (if I may) "the app needs to run on any Android device with 2GB RAM&quo

   1. When your DBMS is no longer responding to queries, your boss and your customers replace your monitoring system (unlimited free phone calls 24/7 included ;). Case in point: HN is often a better place to check than Google Cloud status

   An extra failsafe? You can do both. What if your cron/netdata are not forwarding emails for some reason (eg nullmailer gets errors from Mailgun)?

   I think MIT license only claims the code I wrote is provided under MIT (that's why you also have to include a NOTICES file listing other library licenceses in addition to the LICENSE file). It's not like they put MIT header and th

   One thing I am not sure is why such a radical action was taken so quickly without thinking carefully first? It's not like a lawsuit was threatened or something. The original request in https://github.com/minad/mime

   Connection refused is likely that the site was "nullrouted" (not really, but don't have a better term) by a hosting provider after HN hug and not crumbled under load itself (usually you experience very long response times, wh

    OASIS is good but there member orgs need to pay membership dues and do it every year. I think ISO encourages independent experts from public sector and academia to provide expert feedback without paying for membership. Though, I think that

    I think they don't want to "dilute" their value proposition. They are selling to various sponsors the idea is that their platform is the key, but if downloaded videos can suffice, it's a different story. Every platform t

    Arduino is OSHW but its AVR microcontroller isn't, yet we still regard Arduino boards as OSHW. But I see your point that the crucial component of this OSHW key is not OSHW.

    Yep, our university has GH Enterprise and refuses to “procure” (as it requires the central body to agree to the ToS) free Gitlab for academia as “another” git solution. Our project team on Gitlab cannot get into that program for academics b

    Now, I am really curious why would it be of any value (putting aside the HN policy discouraging it) to anyone. I understand that GH repo stars help project visibility and may be good on CV but gists?

    Nothing against cool RPi projects but be aware that a motherboard with a NAS-grade Celeron, like ASRock J4105M, sells for $85 or so (but needs RAM, $20 for 4GB roughly). At $105, this leaves this carrier board around $35 of budget if you ca
