I'm talking about using Git over SSH (a protocol it and all of the Git hosts support). You can do this right now: git clone git@github.com:Chanzhaoyu/chatgpt-web.git And it will use SSH, no web browser involved: https:/&#x2F

If you clone a public repo, this exact SSH flow happens on the GitHub servers, same with any other Git server running the SSH protocol. The OP is a git server just like that, so I don't see why it would be an issue here but not elsewhe

Do you feel the same way about GitHub/GitLab... because Git works over SSH and anytime you clone anything over the SSH protocol your public keys are sent to the server. Same thing with SSHing into AWS, Google Cloud, Azure consoles. I d

In what way? I'm certainly angry about both. The false dichotomy is to claim that everyone who is upset about Apple's abuse of power is not upset about surveillance capitalism. No one has argued for that.

That's a false dichotomy. You can be pro-worker's rights and anti-surveillance capitalism. It's right to fight against execs forcing workers back into the office/most expensive real-estate market in the world. I'm t

For something claiming to "supercharge your imagination", it sure has a lame name.

I'm in the US and sadly most places require at least a bachelor's degree to get enough "points" for almost any visa.

I wish it were easier to get a visa and move to another country without a degree. As someone without a degree, that's been the most annoying issue. The best parts are: not having student loans and not having a mindset that grinding wit

As a non-physicist I'm not sure I'm interpreting this correctly. Does this essentially mean that all states in time already exist and our consciousness is just traversing this 4D space in one direction on the time axis? If so, doe

It says that because you can't be in a union and do a wild cat strike. Not in a union? You're free to. You're misreading it. I'd encourage you talk to a lawyer if you have any doubts.
103.
by wootland 4y ago
Your interpretation doesn't hold. All it's saying is that you have to not be affiliated with a union, then a wildcat strike is legal ("no illegality involved").

Would you say that things like Blind or Levels.fyi have had an impact on labor organization? I would argue that they have.

I also hire like this with referrals from current (and past) team members. This helps provide an on-ramp for people with less of a public persona. If someone I've worked with in the past says "you should hire X, I worked with them

I wonder if there can be more ephemeral union like entities that help the labor market. I'd love to see a community that helps people organize strikes and coordinate between multiple companies. Strikes are one of the strongest tools a

If there's risk, I should be compensated for it with interest on the account. I'm fine with banks being not for profit institutions run by the government. Allowing people to safely store their money is baseline civilization. If ba

Why does that make you mad? If my money is at risk, I expect to be compensated with an interest rate. If I'm not earning interest, my money should have zero risk. We should remove the FDIC $250k limit and if bank's business models

I start with anyone building with my company's OSS tools or contributing to them in a meaningful way. I also look at anyone working on libraries or OSS software that we're using in our projects. Beyond that I scout for people who

You're confusing the market for equity with the market for the goods and services produced by the company. The shareholders are optimizing for the former at the expense of the latter.

It's true that there are great devs that aren't doing OSS. There are so many devs doing OSS though that it's totally possible to hire exclusively this way. I know because I've done it for half a dozen teams, in all man

Giving people take home tests or leet code challenges is a backwards hiring process. Why as a manager are you wasting your time and the candidate's time "discovering" if they can code when there's millions of developers

Well, all developers should be WFH so that shouldn't be an issue. For those companies backward enough to force their devs onsite, if there aren't enough homes to house the workforce local to the office, then the office is in the

It's worth a lot to the shareholders to manipulate the stock price upwards, that's of no benefit to the customers though. Quite the contrary, choosing executives based on how well they sell equity opposed to how well they can oper
