Love the look of the site! How are you getting these printed and shipped? Do you do it yourself or consume a 3rd party service?

Like the author's group of friends, mine has stopped throwing LAN parties. I think our last ones were around early WoW time. However, large LAN parties are far from being dead. The…

Good to note that self hosting Gitlab (CE in my case) is a breeze. I'm pretty bad at infra and sysadmin stuff and I've been maintaining an instance for a group of friends for about…

Thanks a ton! Am I really seeing a ~2x increase?

I just want to say (since you're here and this is a post about Gitlab) that your product is awesome. A few friends and I spun up our own instance of the CE about a week ago because…

> The article also doesn't mention how GPL is a show-stopper at some companies where we are building proprietary solutions. > Oracle, IBM, Sony, Apple, Microsoft, Boeing all are mo…

I have to disagree that it's the least interesting topic. A relationship is never a one way street and while in this situation one of the party clearly seems to be at fault, it's n…

If that's how it came across I probably really expressed myself improperly because that wasn't my point at all (English being my second language probably doesn't help and I really …

Thanks for the link. The exhibits really paint an appalling portrait of the guy. He's acting like an insecure 14 year old. I don't want to downplay the situation but I feel like it…

You can't download Beta versions of dev tools without having a paid subscription, only released versions.

If you're just removing part of the image after cutting around it with a tool like this, having the object interpreted as 3D isn't really going to be of any benefit. The impressive…

There used to be an apple on the key as well as the command symbol. At least on my (very) old PPC iMac.

So no one should be commenting on this topic unless they have a perfect understanding of scientific theory? That seems terribly counter-productive. I'm commenting on this topic to …

You can say the exact same thing about any scientific model. My view on this has always been that as long as the model accurately predicts experimental results, assume it is correc…

It actually IS demonstrably true that the brain is made of atoms. That makes it a quantum system, which our modern physics tells us how to simulate. The use of the term "impractica…

Ramanujan isn't different than you or I in that regard. His brain was an assembly of neurons, connected via synapses. There's nothing pointing towards the fact that this assembly i…

I completely agree and that's why that part of the interview shouldn't be the only one. As someone said earlier, it should be a negative filter of incredibly unsuitable candidates.…

Completely agree. I recently had an interview where I was asked to solve a job scheduling type problem. So I see the potential graph, remember topological sort and bingo! Right aft…

On the other hand, if I'm hiring someone for a high pressure job I don't want them to fail when under pressure. I understand your point but I don't really buy it. I train lifeguard…

The real issue is that he spits the homework (or take home exam) question as-is on math.stackexchange and has others solve it. Asking a concrete, directed question meant to underst…

It reads to me like he's conscious of the challenge his company will face rather than admitting defeat. This is a good thing. I also expect the man whose other company sends stuff …

Elon Musk, I forbid you to let Tesla fail before I can afford to buy a model S.

I personally didn't even have an internet connection when I got my N64 :P There was no online mode and AFAIK no way to multiplayer across multiple consoles. Multiplayer was 2-4 pla…

"Popular Nigerian apps are expensive. Very expensive. The two best-selling bible apps among the top five apps on August 10th were each $10" Very expensive 10$ Choose one please. I …

Louis Theroux is an excellent reporter. He really has the gift of getting in touch with the people and stories he covers. I mean, the guy spent a lot of time with the WBC and still…
