Hi Nat,
ICE kidnaps children and forces their captives to live in unsafe, inhumane, over-crowded conditions in the middle of a global pandemic.
Why do you work with them?

Hi Nat, with Microsoft now owning Github, I'm really curious to know what the future holds for both Azure DevOps and Github? I'm a user of both - Github for OSS, and Azure DevOps for private work. IMO, these areas are where they are best suited - pipelines in particular are really powerful in Azure DevOps, and user/permission management, AAD integration and integration with build agents are all excellent. I really li…
Do you plan to make github enterprise available for free on their own premises for teams?
If you REALLY need to self-host, try Gitlab.

Big companies like Microsoft and Google like to burn products with little notice too.
Google sure, but Microsoft? The company that kept the Zune service alive for 4 years after the product was EOL and with a userbase likely measured in the hundreds of thousands? https://www.wired.com/2015/09/what-to-do-with-your-zune-rip-... The company who STILL supports 16-bit apps? https://www.groovypost.com/howto/enable-16-bit-application-s... Ya... I would hardly say MS is known for killing stuff early - more lik…
Have you done any development work on .Net in the last 10 years or so. I've been buggered at least 5 times by massive discontinued chunks of stuff and the several reorganisations that got rid of my entire selection of enterprise customer and MS connect cases conveniently.

This should be the overriding concern of everyone in this forum. It's no longer astonishing[0], but it is quite disgusting how HN participants are able to compartmentalize their enthusiasm for technology away from moral or ethical qualms. I suppose the most generous interpretation is to assume that they are simply unaware.[1] Upstream of that ignorance, however, is a fearful unwillingness to interrogate the foundations of one's own life.

#385By and far the main difference between 'Team' ($4/person/month) and 'Enterprise' ($21/person/month) is SSO/LDAP [0]. The SSO tax is real [1].

That is true for Google, but certainly not for Microsoft. Microsoft's support for legacy software is pretty amazing actually.
It's terrible. AppFabric, WCF, WWF, windows phone. I could go on for hours...

terrible question and off topic
get political complaints out of here, github is a programming tool. doesn't matter if police use the same non lethal tools as normal citizens.

I understand the point of asking the question to raise visibility, but regardless of agreement/disagreement on the issue Nat has written a response here: https://github.blog/2019-10-09-github-and-us-government-deve...
Re: GitHub is now free for teams
#389Hi HN, I'm the CEO of GitHub. Everyone at GitHub is really excited about this announcement, and I'm happy to answer any questions. We've wanted to make this change for the last 18 months, but needed our Enterprise business to be big enough to enable the free use of GitHub by the rest of the world. I'm happy to say that it's grown dramatically in the last year, and so we're able to make GitHub free for teams that don'…
Any plans for free on prem version, like Gitlab?
Considering Github Enterprise (which offers on-prem) is their main feature, and main source of revenue (paying for the free stuff) it's really unlikely.
Why not just use Gitlab if you really need on-prem for cheap/free?

You know what the Greeks would have thought about someone that doesn't care about politics? They'd think their best station in life would to be a slave.
