Coderberg is nice , but their P80s are terrible. And they are hosted in Germany, which adds a few seconds to every remote command . I wouldn’t move business critical repos there . Everyone loses their mind when GitHub goes down once every 2 years . If codeberg provided SLas , they would probably breach them weekly

What are "P80s"? Given the context, I doubt this refers either to screens used in mineral processing or to home-built firearms, which are all that I see in the first couple pages of search results.

The unfortunate truth is that this is where we are as a society. It doesn't reflect poorly on them. It reflects well. They're straightshooters. Theyre not afraid to speak candidly (your definition of candid may differ). They inject humor. You may not like it personally, but it doesn't reflects poorly even if it should.

We're at the tail end of a long decline.

Calling the people who work on GitHub “losers” is not cool.

Is it really a surprise that the project that declared a blanket ban on LLM-generated code is also emotional and childish in other areas?

A blanket ban on LLM-generated code is a completely reasonable position. If someone couldn't be bothered to write the code, why should anyone else bother to read it, let alone merge it?

I wish GH had issues only every 2 years. That’d be amazing! We see issues weekly - if not near daily - at work. Personally I advocate for self-hosted GitLab. I like their pipelines a lot more than GH Actions too.

Look at the absolute state of what they are working on. If they are not losers, they are dispirited clock-punchers who don't care about their craft.

Github is migrating from their old infra to Azure. Doing migrations like that is hard, no matter who you are. And from a business and engineering perspective I think it makes sense to leverage the economies of scale of Azure instead of GitHub running their own boxes.

Maybe the incident: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41837782 https://dmpwn.info/

I'm confused, the incident is that he wrote a document detailing repeated bad behaviour from a well known community figure? And this is a bad thing? And that second link is really grasping at straws lol

Nah, fuck 'em. Call out corpo bullshit where you see it. Github is just LinkedIn for people with compsci degrees now.

They probably mean 80th percentile of the response time distribution? Usually you see this talked about for P95 or P99

You have accused me of "shitting in Rust threads". Do you have any evidence for this libel?

[flagged]

It's completely fine for someone working on a programming language that is useful for some of the same things as Rust to compare that language to Rust, including in ways that make the language not seem as good. Indeed, this is useful information for someone who is using Rust and is considering using Zig (or vice-versa), or who is new to both languages and trying to figure out which is better for their use case.

No wonder they moved to Codeberg. Those kinds of projects tend to do the ol' move to Codeberg for whatever reason. If I had to put an analogy to it, Codeberg is like Kick and Github is like Twitch.
