Will there be an inheritance tax on HN karma?
Absolutely. There should also be a wealth tax system that automatically reduces your karma by 1% every month, and distributes that amount equally to other commenters.

#42Personally, I found gitlab has been quite nice for many years now and I've had free private profiles there since I signed up. It's a great service
It is great but last I used it there wasn’t any kind of free tool like dependabot built in.
Haven't tried it yet, though.

It must lest HN ends up with a permanent upper class of exclusive commenters.

#44Hmm, I wonder if there is a way to turn off some of those things but not others.

GitHub is now owned by Microsoft. Just saying.

Do you have an actual complaint here, or just buzzwords? Calling something an “anti-pattern” or “undesired” doesn’t mean anything. Your comment contains no substance that couldn’t have been conveyed by saying “I hate it”. If you don’t like it, don’t use it. That’s what I do. Is there an actual reason that the mere existence of social networking features is harmful to those of us who choose not to bother with them?
Widespread practices infect norms. For example, thanks to the norms fostered on GitHub, you can no longer expect the average programmer to file good bug reports or to just interact in an appropriate way with the bugtracker. We can't really talk about "wikis", either, without confusion about what a wiki even is—again, thanks to GitHub.
Was it done properly? I suspect that average programmer just didn't report anything, instead of create new GitHub issue. It's annoying to sign up each ML or bugzilla.

#49Just in time for Netlify to discontinue support for private GitHub repositories for free plans. Good thing cloudflare still has free Cloudflare pages support for private GitHub pages.
Re: Private profiles are now generally available on GitHub
#50What do they mean by “now generally available”? AFAIK, private profiles were available before also.
Yeah, was this in an open beta before? I have been using it for my work account for a while.
