It was hard to tell how he is doing and whether any of these treatments are working, but I sincerely hope for a good outcome for him. He has always seen like a genuinely good person. Cancer sucks.

I am nearing the end, depending on the refinements. The first two weeks I was regretting it, but adjusted quickly. Honestly for me the issue was more that I did not like the way my teeth feel with the trays out (and the rough field of the a

Probably referring to me? I live 2 hours from the closest airport. There are no trains near me. Barely any buses. And I am not counting trains within a city just taking a train to travel between cities. I do not live that far from an Amtrak

You've obviously never watched a Hallmark Christmas movie. Train travel is pretty much the norm in that world :)

My daughter recently moved to Vancouver. I was in Seattle for a work trip so decided to take Amtrak to visit her for the weekend. This was my first real train travel. Overall, it was pretty good and probably is what I will do in the future

I wonder if they considered or looked at using JGit? https://github.com/eclipse-jgit/jgit It provides client and server API. The latter is used by Gerrit for its server. https://www.gerritcodereview.com Not

This is shocking and confusing. In the US if you watch HGTV and Mike Holmes, who works in Canada, all they do is talk about how great spray foam is and that is the gold standard. To the point I have had major FOMO for years because I do not

The market GitHub created was Social Coding and the idea that there were network effects to be gained by having all OSS in one place. This is the same thing that makes it difficult today for OSS projects to move off GitHub. If anything, Git

Something this misses is that the mentality of OSS was just different before GitHub. The thought from the original growth of OSS was that it would be more about the community than the code. So OSS would be a series of communities that would

This is also my issue with pi-hole, I still use it but I lost the password. Every now and then I take a crack at getting back in so I can update it. I have been thinking of switching to NextDNS so I could have blocking everywhere. Other tha

I wonder if the system on a chip design of Apple Silicon would work for servers. Would it just be a special packaging that crammed several Mac mini boards into a rack mounted chassis? If so, then they would just be repeating what others are

Well said, this is what I was getting at as well. I think the barrier to contribution was too high in the old days, and that is where GitHub brought improvements, but it came with the loss of community. Everything becomes about PR's an

I should have clarified, I meant I am not sure what an OSS Project can do about it. I think this ultimately has to be managed by the OSS contributor.

Following up on my previous comment, I managed to never become fully burned out, but it required changes to myself, not the project. I had to become less emotionally invested in the project, realize I could not solve everything and step bac

It is a fair point, but I think your last sentence hits on the problem. People that contribute regularly to OSS projects are nearly always emotionally invested. It brings a lot of pleasure initially which I think also contributes to the eve

This is a good description of what life is like working on almost any significant open source project. The only thing not included was the comments from overly entitled users that saps whatever morale and energy you have left. Probably best

Most of GitHub runs in its own data centers. Services like actions runners and Codespaces use Azure.

It seems like the bigger concern would be all the important data they have in Lotus Notes, as well as some of the other systems mentioned. VBA seems like a solid choice compared to where they have their data being stored.

I loved the DAK catalog. I would Google them every now and then to see what came of them. I remember buying an Equalizer and being obsessed over a subwoofer they were selling. I am pretty sure the tagline for that was "Krakatoa Erupts!

It was probably Maine (or Massachusetts). In New Hampshire we probably only have a few miles of 1A that is like this (Rye). It is basically the beach, Rye, then you hit Portsmouth and you are in Maine. Driving along the coast in Maine would

I couldn't even read the entire article after that ... just skimmed it. Even if they had some kind of believe in crypto tech, in the end it was about getting rich via whatever that would take.

There is nothing inherently wrong with HashiCorp's license. What IS wrong is building a product and community and accepting contributions based on an OSS license and THEN changing that license when it no longer suits them. The reality
