Sorry, but you really aren't, quite yet. I'm trying to import a very small repo from github (literally 1 branch and 2 files with hardly any revisions and no issues) and it's still sitting there showing "Starting...&quot

Who says I wasn't? And I know Github wasn't a non-profit. You make quite a number of assumptions with your statement. The difference for me is that I was supporting Github (by paying) to be an independent company, warts and all.

The real question everyone should be asking is whether Microsoft is trustworthy, cognizant, and honorable enough to be the steward of such a major player that facilitates a large portion of open source software. This has me very concerned f

With no explanation about it being a 418. Par for the course, I suppose.

I’m reminded of when npm was beginning to get popular and all the web devs I worked near were acting like it was pure gold and the first of its kind; as if other package managers like maven or apt never existed. These days I just have to la

"Aurora will try to retain enough log information to support that window of time." It's good to know that Aurora will try. It's not like it needs to be reliable or anything.

You are either trolling or obviously have no clue what you are talking about. Enjoy the ignorance, I hear it's bliss!

I'll be quite happy to pay them $11. :) Here's hoping that's all it would end up being.

Of course, it's just what I expected since every other reputable investment business does this. However, my concern is less from that and more from the $30. Will they care?

So if I made a whole $32 off of my experiment on Coinbase (invested $50 when the price was around $273.59/bitcoin and then sold when the price was around $459.69/bitcoin), will the IRS really care about their cut? I honestly expe

I agree, the author complains about something they actually do not understand. I'm sure many people will agree with the author, I'm not sure I do. If Slack changes something or does something that I don't agree with, I will

Maybe I'm just not _getting it_ and am too old for this, but why would I ever want to have my computer open a completely different program simply to input text into a text box when it already has focus and I can simply type at that poi

Which is how it should be. Microsoft should design their OS to not require reboots for updates. The only time I ever have to reboot my Linux box is for a kernel update — that’s it.

by ulkesh 9y ago
Hey Microsoft, also stop rebooting without asking. In fact, just stop automatically doing anything and let me choose to do it myself. Be more like Linux.

I guess my experience is limited, but I’ve not seen much of this despite working in an ORM environment with around 75 entities for the last few years (my recent experience anyway, the rest goes back 16 years). Maybe that is small potatoes,

The reason these look similar to System76 is because they are the exact same Clevo chassis. The bezels are awful, but I give credit to System76 and Station X and any other that works to sell and maintain Linux machines. My next Linux lapto

Honestly, the only reason open offices exist can be described in a single word: control. It simply allows managers to hold sway over their employees by forcing them to look busy and be in their chair as much as possible, and causing undue

It's like the Keystone Cops are running Equifax. They are now a complete joke. And it's sadly not funny.

This really doesn't surprise me. My experience with Riak (admittedly in 2012-2014) was that it did not live up to the hype. As strictly a key-value store, it wasn't bad, but toss in 2i, etc, and it quickly became problematic. Op

Simply put: it was not worth it. I tried it when it first came out. I liked the concept, but they do everything to hide every single problem with it. Some of which has already been said in this thread, but the biggest reason I canceled a

I would love to think so! But sadly I've been burned on some things in the past as well (usually trusting that Amazon ships me the right item, eBay, that one item on Kickstarter, etc). I do my best to check seller reviews/ratings

Putty is great and has been for a very long time. Always glad to see it still in active development. Though, for Windows, once I found MobaXterm I never looked back. Of course on the Linux side nothing to me beats tmux or terminator.
