And following up to myself: Being able to work from where I happen to live and I have thought about whether I would like to work for them. That it's a good product would certainly be a motivation. However, frequent incidents being reso

Regarding gitlab performance: I moved from using bitbucket, first own servers and later SaaS to gitlab.com SaaS in early 2018. I cannot say anything else than gitlab performance and UI being much better. I was permanently complaining about

IIRC 3.11 had no process isolation and the IP stack was an afterthought. So every application bug could crash or hang the whole system. And networking problems could freeze everything. It's rather unlikely that something complicated li

I remember it hanging regularly. Maybe not every day, but several times a month I would guess. Of course it depends on what software you are running. I remember running mostly Humingbird eXceed X-Windows server to access our Unix workstatio

An administrator is updating drivers? So maybe not a developer job at all, updating means installing not coding? And the Windows 3.11 on the train has not decent networking or remote maintenance system it needs to be done manually somehow?

It's open source, so we should be able to see the code? Edit: Someone has digged it out: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39162126

I don't think such EU regulation exists. I transferred my number from one operator to a competitor recently. There was a one week (I believe) warning period that the transfer was announced, but could still have been cancelled. The old

Yes, I remember reading pretty negative comments about it. Don't remember what the complaints where about exactly. Bad license, i.e. GPL compliance? Bad support? (Why would you pay for Linux if not for support?)

Not a real expert with those systems, but I have used both. I believe buildroot is much smaller (as in much less binaries can be built) than Yocto. Yocto has its learning curve, but there is a lot readily available and you can do a lot more

I always assumed that your free quota is proportional to the time you pay. Even the price is not the advertised fixed $3.5, you pay less in months with 30 days than in months with 31 days. I have not checked my cost and usage reports every

Because being spied on is for "free", but micro payment is still payment. Add least on the surface. If you think that consumers pay all the ad serving, with >99% of the resources wasted because users ignore the ads, in the end

Oh, how did you find that? Some inside knowledge about HN or is that a well-known path published by Cloudflare sites? Edit: Seems to work also for at least some other Cloudflare sites. Interestingly HN is served from Stockholm (behind a sea

Does curl even store cookies by "default"? Yeah, by what default. Daniel Stenberg's default or my distro's packager's default. Of course I could test... Not close to my computer now.

So HN uses Cloudflare? That surprises me because typically I notice sites using Cloudflare because my mobile running GNU Linux cannot pass their dreaded Turnstyle. Luckily that does not happen for HN.

Certainly not forever, but maybe a couple of years. At work we use Sierra Wireless modems which are only 3G + 4G. So in practice only 4G in many countries already now or in a couple of months. The Netherlands close down 2G but keep 3G. (I a

Driving is different. It's a lot about harming others. Drinking and smartphone's is primarily about harming the users themselves.

Why only 90%? For smart phone operating systems it's higher I'd assume (not counting China, that's not a free country anyway). Same for desktop computers. A major failure of free market economics that is widely ignored by pol

If you are limited to fast forward merging only one of your authors can merge. The second one needs to rebase and their updated MR will go through CI again, now on top of the first author's commit that has already been merged.

Oops, that was a slip: > Of course I did not look at merge conflicts Should of course been "merge commits". Sorry, too late to edit.
