My own company had a migration from GitLab to supposedly greener pastures but at least when a self hosted gitlab server had an issue someone could figure out what was going on. Absolutely zero control over GitHub.

Their most recent iPhone which had no major AI advertisements associated with it GAINED market share over competition[1] They have no ground to make up on AI, and changing their operating system to center on AI would piss off every iPhone u

I like how tech seems to be all about stacking more and more turtles on top of each other: Gosh, it's hard figuring out what changes Lorne made if only we had a system to merge those changes. Enter git Gosh it's hard figuring out

One could (naively) hope that goliath corporations used their massive lobbying power for good. There was a time, long, long, ago, Google refused to operate in China because it refused to censor itself. Since no matter how much power they ha

> Those adults who met the 150 minute a week guideline on exercise experienced a modest 8-9% reduction in cardiovascular risk 30%+ reduction from 10 hours a week of exercise sounds ideal, but 9% isn't nothing.

Honestly, yeah, fair point. There's enough money in tech to keep the party going for who knows how long. The housing market was unsustainable for a long time and went even further up before it crashed. The smart people who called that

Like... this has things that AI will seemingly always be terrible at? At some point the level of detail is utter garbo and always will be. An artist who was thoughtful could have some mistakes but someone who put that much time into a drawi

If there was any outside visible thread of reasoning for this war it was "Iran seems like it could have regime change" and I haven't heard anything saying they're more likely to have a different form of government. I dou

Their heyday of good jokes was also when they hadn't produced any ads and seemed like an underdog. "Don't Be Evil" days. Vibe-wise they all feel closer to Raytheon and I sure as fuck wouldn't want to see an attempt

Someone was saying "can we just not with April fools" this year because everything is so grim and dire in the world... but I think this is such a perfect level we need. I could go for more whimsy like this.

100%, a product can't be just good and succeed now. Market's expect something to be "the next thing" or become a failure. Also, price is always going to be an issue. The US spends billions and billions of dollars support

What the heck is going on here, something cannot be light and use 20gb of memory. Is LLM driving the RAM shortage or is it hacker news commenters convinced they can't run a single git client without 20gb of free memory. I am a web dev

Are you saying you and all your devs are doing light development work? That was the claim you're attempting to refute. Light development for me is some node programs and a php server. If light development suddenly means 3 docker contai
