I still get a Pro option when going to https://github.com/account/upgrade from a free account, and it seems to match Teams, here's the blurb: > Required reviewers in private repos > Protected branches in private repos > Repository insights in private repos > Wikis in private repos > Pages in private repos > Code owners in private repos > 3,000 minutes for GitHub Actions > 2GB of storage for packages

So basically Pro and Team are the same now? Edit: The FAQ points to Github product page [1] which list GitHub Team having 10K Actions instead. [1] https://help.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-githu...

So... wouldn't this mean GitHub Team with a single user is better than GitHub pro?

We're living with transparent juridical system and it works fine. Imagine that you could be thrown to jail without explaining a reason. That would be outrageous.

1) You can be thrown into jail without any explanation whatsoever. 2) You can be shot without any explanation whatsoever. 3) Your possessions can be taken away, and sold off without any explanation and without recourse. Links about each of these claims: https://abovethelaw.com/2018/07/innocent-people-who-plead-gu... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Walter_Scott https://www.forbes.com/sites/jacobsullum/2014/0…

So GitHub should aspire to do the same?

Continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD) services. Essentially when you merge a changeset you can configure a specific branch to automatically test, package, deploy, and integration test that branch with no additional human intervention.

So Actions is similar to Jenkins?

minus the infrastructure, maintenance burden, and plugin hell

We all know that the most vocal on the left, who want to silence anyone who doesn't pander to their political ideals, pressure public companies, advertisers, etc. to 'cancel' those who refuse to go along - drop their advertising, cut off their servers, purge their DNS, ban their accounts, shame them relentlessly until they disappear. Most US companies these days have no morals, and are easily influenced by these tact…

This comic is abused so much that I wonder if Randall would ever consider a follow-up poking fun at how it's wielded. It's meaningless in a normative, rather than legal, conversation such as this one.

I use Gitlab's CI runners and I agree. However, I am pretty excited about the direction that Github is going with their actions. Having a directory of user created actions and integrations seems like gold to me and I hope Gitlab starts leaning that way soon.

I agree, but GitHub must fix the security nightmare that is waiting to happen with GitHub actions marketplace. Seems like this would be such an easy fix, too.

Organizations can enforce that their repos use only actions that are within the repo, making the build more secure, controlled and auditable.

You mean Microsoft's latest attempt at Web Forms/Silverlight, a product that yet again tries to muddy the separation between client and server execution contexts using magic. Seems like every generation re-invents this idea, and every time it fails for the same fatal flaw: Illusions are just that, and you'll wind up hacking around the illusion if you want to do something not envisioned (or run into a bug in the secre…

This is a really cynical take. I'm also not sure why you are conflating Silverlight with Web Forms - it was never competing with Web Forms, it was client-side only, a replacement to Flash - a better UI and API (at the time) than HTML/CSS/JS. Blazor is OSS , and doesn't work like Web Forms. As in your own quote, Blazor uses SignalR - which uses push-based comms, such as Web Sockets; Web Forms was standard HTTP.

Blazor may not work like Web Forms, but the philosophy is similar. Abstract away the fundamentals of HTML/JS, making back-end devs feel like front-end devs.

I started my dev career a long time ago in Web Forms. I went so long without understanding HTTP POST/GET/etc that it harmed me.

Anyone remember UpdatePanel? AjaxControlToolkit? Blazor gives me the same feelings.

I feel like anyone who lived through the 90s could have expected "these kinds of results". Git is open source and widely supported, which doesn't benefit Microsoft. By causing GitHub-specific features to be an essential part of a "modern" or "industry standard" git workflow, they can capture more marketshare/attention, and cause alternatives to be sidelined. This requires removing all friction to entering the proprie…

Microsoft have already stopped development of Atom, sadly.

Source?

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…

What about Atom/VSCode? Atom development looks dead to me:

So far Microsoft isn’t taking customers away from AWS. They’re just expanding the total market. But I do wonder if AWS will try to buy gitlab.

While Amazon tried to go into the private hosting and ci/cd market, they are not a dev tool company. Microsoft was born as one. When Amazon or Google would buy GitLab they would meaningless integrate it, reduce staff by half and then ruin it over time. Maybe when Microsoft would have opened up some years earlier, Codeplex would not share the fate of Google Cloud.

The marketing team from Microsoft here on HN is amazing. The work you all have been putting in for the last year+ is amazing. It all started with VS Code and has since fanned out into a massive influence. I'd be super curious to see the metrics on ROI with the HN presence.

Whoa, wanted to jump in here! SS13 is, in my opinion, one of the best games of all time when it runs well. Not very many people know about it. I worry about the community dying and losing my favorite game, but have taken solace in the fact that the source will always be publicly available. If it was banned from GitHub, that's a major problem.

Is it? There are several GitHub alternatives, many completely free as well, and none of the source was lost unless all the maintainers and contributors also delete their local copies.
