Drop Github, use something like Gerrit and then embrace linear history. If you have very active development with frequent conflicts (requiring lots of rebasing to get things merged) you might want to look at a merge bot like gerrit-queue, b

But it did not replace it. Google runs on Borg. Go lets you build things fast, but the lack of strong typing and the vast amount of language pitfalls make maintenance hard in the long run. The community also has the attitude to pretend that

As a Xoogler it's always seemed weird to me how Kubernetes was compared to Borg. Kubernetes covers a much larger set of things than Borg alone, and I don't necessarily think that's for the better. Being written in a language

Did anyone else notice that the cookie popup on this Dell page had the option to "declinate all cookies"? I did a double take to see if this was a real Dell page based on that.

Same basic concept, though it had some nicer representations of non-C language things OOB when I tried it.

From your link: > Either way, it represents a significant decrease over the previous 15 years (in 2001, the homicide rate was 30.5). In 2018, according to Rosstat, there were 7,067 murders, and the homicide rate in Russia fell below the

My point is that there must be people who aren't involved in criminal gangs or deliveries crossing this bridge, too, so there should be a general interest in keeping it safe.

There's no way it's this simple. Looking at a map of NYC, it seems that this must be a fairly major bridge (southernmost connection from the Bronx to Manhattan) for all kinds of traffic. I'd expect plenty of average people no

It's always strange to read these reports from American cities that sound like something out of war-torn countries. Delivery workers grouping together to defend themselves against hordes of bandits, in well-known places, with no police

It should be noted that in Swedish cities, especially Stockholm, there is also a completely dysfunctional housing market. I have personally rented long-term flats in a bunch of cities: Cologne, Stockholm, Oslo, London, Hurghada, Moscow. Out

The 1/3 figure is from a different time. For people who don't have tech (or equivalent) income I think it's frequently closer to 50%, of course depending a lot on location, too.

Fake news, you're probably thinking about the law regulating punishment for first time offences not involving serious violence.

You could do that and would probably learn a lot, but I suspect safety and availability of visas might be a concern.
