Can you change your username please. HN isn't Reddit.

bizarrely entitled to ask a person to change their own username

I disagree. The community decides what the community will be, and there's nothing wrong with asking for someone to keep the level of discourse to something above that of jokes a 12 year old would make.

I'd rather the community decide not to be the kind of place where novelty (mildly sexist) usernames are common. The conversation suffers when cheesy jokes are the norm. There are places and times for those kinds of things; many subreddits are totes down for "pm_me_X" novelty accounts. Take it there.

I'm not saying jokes are wrong, but there's a reason the cheap joke and image meme is discouraged here. They tend to rise above the deeper comments, because they're quick and easy to digest, and so get a lot of upvotes because of it. But, as a community, we're deciding to favor the deeper comments...even at the expense of missing a few jokes and image memes in these conversations. If that kind of selection doesn't suit you, there are many places that don't impose those guidelines.

Better to ask about their minimum availability guarantee. Knowing that the servers can handle a DDOS attack is of little value if the service goes down for maintenance every day (just to give an example).

GitLab.com runs the same GitLab as our users and some upgrades require downtime. Other operations should not require downtime, we have multiple application servers and load balancers. The backend services are HA except the file storage until we complete the move to CephFS.

Why did you guys choose Ceph instead of OpenStack Swift? Just curious.

>Save the outrage for people who are actually discriminated against How about white people at Github?

Is there any indication they're suffering actual discrimination? Pay gaps, harassment, disproportionately not-hired or fired?

Yes, my sense of entitlement is being challenged.

Sensitive people enjoy being outraged.

Don't confuse being sensitive with being wronged. No matter one's ethnicity, one should be against discrimination.

I don't think I should be hired to run gender initiatives. Guess I'm a sexist.

Yes. I lobbied several companies to terminate their enterpise contracts with github because of their racist attitudes. All switched within 2 weeks. Some to VS Team Services, some to Gitlab. My work projects went to MSFT, but I think I will transfer my side projects to gitlab from bitbucket, since they have pages now.

Would you want to work at a company which has a bullet point "some of the biggest barriers to progress are white women"? That one struck me as particularly egregious. If you said that completely out of context, the average person is going to picture this coming out of some chauvinist white male. Ironically, it's coming out of people aiming for "diversity".

Even in context, apparently the background is an article called the "Trouble With White Women" (http://www.racismreview.com/blog/2014/01/28/trouble-white-wo...). It's hard to take seriously this article when it pretty much begins with the well known "friend argument" used by racists everywhere (http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Friend_argument).

While these people may be discussing some legitimate biases, countering racism / sexism with reverse racism / reverse sexism is completely wrongheaded.

GitHub has a policy of releasing dormant usernames, will GitLab do that?

We have currently no plans, but happy to discuss it [0]. [0]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/14932

Would love to be able to use my GitHub username on GitLab as well. Currently occupied by a dormant user with zero activity over the last 10 months, no repos except a fork of GitLab CE and no added commits to it. Of course I don't know if he has private repos or not.

Yeah, but I wish they'd give more credit where due. On their markdown page they claim "For GitLab we developed something we call "GitLab Flavored Markdown" (GFM)." while that is obviously a ripoff of GitHub Flavoured Markdown.

I agree we should give attribution here and created https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/3546 to do so. Edit: this was merged.

@dang I'm sorry for this. Please understand I was inebriated when I posted this comment, but I will always appreciate your work and if you ban me for the following comment, I understand.

-------------------------------------------------

syste - I love you man. You are an amazing CEO. Your company does great work and has a great product. I always become so happy when I see you actively responding to the comments here. You are a role model CEO.

Something so many companies overlook is actually listening to their users and taking their feedback seriously. I love you man, if you wrote an autobiography I would buy it. Congratulations to you and your team.

This is why I like GitLab! Thanks for doing this :) You're not only productive at shipping quality features but also listening to people using your product! This makes me even happier to be using it at work :)

Thank you for your kind words. Two funny things:

1. We're now at Git Merge http://git-merge.com/ and I'm looking forward to presenting at 4pm Eastern.

2. I said it was merged but Douwe used our Merge when build succeeds. A HN reader commented about a mistake and I was able to fix it in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/79d6513f360d7... Thanks Greg!

This is great news, Gitlab really is coming along very, very fast. Does it say anything about where the sites are going to be hosted? Are they using AWS underneath or something? It's curious timing since literally just the other day I moved my Hugo site to Bitbucket + Aerobatics. But since I have all my other stuff on Gitlab already, it'd be kinda convenient.

Link to https://www.aerobatic.com/ which now supports Node. I'm too lazy to switch from GitHub Pages though.

Since you turned this into a discussion about race, I am inclined to speak up. Racism and discrimination is about who has power. Caucasians in America have all the power and hence the struggle of the minorities for equality. I admire github for taking a stance in the diversity debate( although I have yet to fully familiarize with the details). I know that people from all demographics desire equality and a more fair w…

Racism and discrimination have nothing to do with power. You're redefining the word so that it allows a particular group to engage in discriminatory behavior while avoiding accountability.
