Run your own Gitlab instance, it isn't very hard to do. The point is to use Git in a decentralized manner, not circle around one closed platform or another. The main Gitlab instance being under such heavy load is not too great either,

Yeah, my i5 feels a touch sluggish, and I know it won't get better as I dip into Clojure!

Huh, might end up going for a higher end chip, but I could definitely use that bump in performance! Already got an SSD, optimized kernel and a few other tweaks to get the most out of this chip, but it only goes so far.

Huh, a $100 quadcore ain't half bad, perhaps I should buy one. Looks like it'd be faster than this first gen Core i5 I'm using. Could probably keep the upgrade sub-$250 for RAM/CPU/Motherboard...

Parking minimums service a minority of the population of Seattle, while adding 15% to 20% onto the average rental price. Another angle is the road network in Belltown is well beyond capacity, and is likely to only have safety and pedestrian

The point is development in Belltown has been highly restricted for decades, preventing dense, multi-purpose buildings from being built in that neighborhood. Even the newer buildings being built right on Denny and Queen Anne Ave N in Bellto

The terribly restrictive zoning hasn't helped, if we got rid of the height caps and parking minimums that kneecap growth, we would see many more apartments and condos being built. Why should a 1 bedroom apartment be over a grand in Bal

LOL, the private schools here are anti-vaxxer havens, when you hear about kids dying of whooping cough or similar in this state, it nearly always is at a private school. Also, its a non-union gig that pays a few grand less than SPS or the o

You shouldn't have to, Facebook is a poor medium esp. in the context of HN as it is a pain to browse/use on purpose if you don't make an account.

Which is so silly, as closing their code & datasheets just makes it harder to work with their chips and makes users of their products less secure. And that is why you see all these Single Board Computers not using Broadcom chips, they a

Patently false, I've been to a few camera infested shitholes like the one on 15th and Market in Ballard where they tried to pull this crap on me (and gave up), but outside of that I have yet to run into it. IMO its a huge red flag, the

Cell phones definitely have caused a notable drop in audio quality. Massive carriers like Verizon for example felt they could compress calls quite heavily, destroying audio quality in the process. VoLTE could improve the situation, if we co

Unsurprising, the UK is a mass surveillance, dystopian state. Every packet sent over the internet is captured, and the UK has the highest security camera density in the world. Assad would kill to be able to so conveniently collect even half

Are public schools in Brooklyn that bad? I know they're very segregated[1], but the concept of a private school being of better quality than a public school is horrendous. In Seattle that isn't the case, but that is mainly due to

Why should a toolkit be illegal, and why should you not carry your tools with you? Picking a lock is usually the slowest way in, if you are trying to increase security, paying a premium for a better lock while retaining windows and unreinfo

Wow, you are unfamiliar with retail. Sure, you can probably steal small things, but repeatedly stealing larger objects (book size and above) is generally a pain in the ass. Hence why Costco & Sams Club make better targets than average s

What about using worthless phones and masks? For under $5 I can get an Android or a dozen of them, load them up with this app, and be good to go. Need a credit card? No trouble, get a prepaid card for $1.95 at the corner store, load 5 dolla

How has it been coordinated? Most of these things, like worker harassment which was reported on twice, once perpetrated by a childish CEO who is still in charge, is self inflicted. Travis didn't have to join Trump's Tech Advisory

The cost and wiring to power eink displays is too much, due to the USD being fairly stable, prices don't change daily/hourly, which would help eink signage for shelving make sense. You essentially either need a power drop to each

Ok, how do I install it on an OrangePi PC Plus? What about on a Roseapple Pi or CubieBoard6? Wait, I can't, there is no eMMC support for the OrangePi H3 boards in FreeBSD, and S500 based boards literally have no BSD support at all. It

What Point of Sale systems have you seen running BSD? In the US, all the major retailers are either on SLES through IBM/Toshiba, or your Walmart and are on your own homerolled Linux box as a POS. Outside of that, its all Windows for th

If you look at that space, the OrangePi Zero and others all run Linux, not *BSD. Nintendo & Sony have both chosen to go and build on BSD for their high end consoles so they can have tight control and give nothing back, but the NES Class
