I've been working on something like this for internal use for the last 2 month or so. Very high overlap, CAS, version chains, branching available in storage, but not implemented (not as high value for us), file locks, chunked storage on S3 api. Focused on assets only with more focus on build/export (think gh actions for blender files) and QA processes.

Interesting to see where this goes.

For us: newly created PRs, don't show in the PR list. Only way to reach is direct link.

Doesn't exactly fix the issue, bout you can cancel the suggestion with ESC and then press Tab.

Changing the shortcut should be possible, but I haven't tried.

Way to setup false choice.

I would rather they use letal weapons on crowd than nuking the city.

If it happened like described I see no reason to proceed to spray without warnings. In fact why would you even clear streets if it's an organized event and most people already left due to rain.

Would love to see Pluto for Python. This fixes key annoyances I have with Jupyther.

Believe it or not you have to disable the progress bar to speed some things up. Downloads alone are at least 10x faster if you disable progress bar.

Because it's quite extreme view.

Apps should protect users and police should seek to end crime. Only when these two needs cross we get something fair. If one side gives in we all lose.

It's bare board, they don't assemble. They just make the PCB board itself.

The unsubscribe process is even worse. You have to call them, it's not possible to unsubscribe in the website. Extra fun if you're not from the states.

You can cut off the jack and solder a new one. You also don't need specific cord, buy a new cord and add the jack. For non replaceable cords you can open up the headphones unsolder the old cord and solder a new one. Or you can cut the cable somewhere high and patch another cable.

If you can't do these things your self there is probably some cheap electronic repair shop nearby. Most likely cheaper than shipping new brand cable or replacement parts.

On side note plastic in one of my shure 840 joints broke and I managed to fix it by modeling and 3d printing it. They're working fine now. The only official way to fix that was to buy original head assembly and ship it, but that's almost as expensive as getting a new pair.

Repair is possible, just sometimes you need to be a bit creative.

The other way too. It's easy to get your server ips banned for unratelimited scraping.

I don't think GKE is lockin when there are other offering from other companies and the migration is quite simple. Also if at some point you feel like it's time to host your own then you can do it. Also I don't find GKE that expensive especially paired with their cheap vms or preemptive vms if you're fine with those.

Hmm, that's interesting, I was convinced it's based on citizenship.

I'm a traveler, just because I'm not coming from EU IP address range, doesn't mean I'm not EU citizen with rights established by EU.

Can someone explain how it is better than android? When I plug in my android, only charging works. I need to unlock the phone and enable data to make the data connection work. There is never trust this computer prompt. I have to do this always, even when due to bad wire the connection is lost for a split second.

Some people mentioned that android never shipped this feature and that Apple is first, but it seems to me that android never had this problem in the first place.

The price can be of concern for smaller private projects or startups.

The system is feeding it self. The simpler it is the more people are reached and the less ordinary person is willing to learn and overcome problems. Slowly everything that is slightly complex becomes too much of a hassle or gets negativity.

There is a middle ground somewhere.

I suppose the gaming topic made be rant, because it seems like a lot games being made now lack substance. But there are so many more games being made and so many more players compared to 10 years ago that I'm probably biased. I still think simplicity vs function is a tough problem with short term and long term pros and cons.

Well a lot of older series haven been simplified in recent iterations. I haven't played hearts of Iron though.

It's hard to please older gamers by crating something that feels new, but not too different or simplified and at the same point appeal to the new masses of gamers.

As others fairly pointed out my original comment was off topic. Creating good UIs is a worthy cause as long simplicity and mass appeal is not valued over substance.

As for mobile games, I will disagree. There is a huge inertia and lack of creativity. Everyone is trying to copy everyone else. Just look at the screenshots of a typical game in play store. Same style everywhere, they've even started to not show game content because it's just not there. Yet somehow I can run emulator and ejoy quality games with no input problems. Clearly it's not a limitation of the device.

It was slightly off topic rant indeed.

This. The continuous push to make everything easy (as in gameplay and also learning) is annoying. Not all games have to be simple. I believe games have huge potential for teaching problem solving and systematic thinking, but by dumbing them down were partially eliminating this.

The ultimate example are mobile games. They optimized for profit by dumbing them down and adding addictive, simple gameplay loops. They also incredibly boring in longer term, but it doesn't matter because they've probably extracted enough money from you at that point.

This goes beyond gaming and applies to our industry in general. I strongly believe that having more complex, but powerful software is better for the society at large. Encouraging people to not give up when they encounter simple problems and promoting systematic thinking is important. But it's not as profitable and you lose users.

I guess they produced export which is similar or exact format to the exports of one of the popular sites and imported it. For example 23andme currently has DNA day promotion which lets you import ancestry exports. Seems a bit shady to me.

Now that we're set on introducing more and more autopilot and autonomous vehicles why dont we add sensors and beacons to our infrastructure to make all these things easier. Nothing really has changed since traffic lights.

It would help if barriers and construction obstacles would have beacons in them. This is not to replace cameras and radars but to help augment data whenever possible.

I think there is an opportunity for governments to help solve autopilot and autonomous vehicle challanges.

This company operated a spam compaign with emails harvested from GitHub or StackOverflow from what I can guess. Completely spoiled the first impressions.

This is not acceptable in 2018.

Not to mention the page was not accessible at that time due to load or whatever.

I actually tried 1Password recently. Their online offering is new. The browser addons had problems. I'm a Linux/Android user so that's an extra problem. I'm just looking something that works xplatform and potentially has family/team sharing.

I do like 1Password team/ui better and it's probably going to be a solid eventually, but couple month ago it was a bit too raw.

I've also found https://bitwarden.com/, but haven't checked it yet. It can be self-hosted, but it's C# which may or may not be your cup of tea.

There are also pass (the cli tool based on PGP) based browser extensions, maybe worth investigating that stack again.

They acknowledged it on Twitter[1]. Status page[2] doesn't reflect that it's down, but this is serious degradation of service.

There is also a forum post[3] from couple days ago which means that it's hasn't been fixed for more than 2 days.

I don't have side by side comparison, but I'm adept at command line and I still use Magit even when I have command line or other IDE available.

Magit is my go to tool, I only use command line to quickly switch branches sometimes or for non-standard things.

Things I love about Magit:

- CHUNKING .. staging chunks or unstaging chunks is so easy (my favorite feature)

- General overview of information

- diffs, rebases, etc

- It's really fast when you learn the key chords

Other thing I use for Git:

- Command line (if I'm in command line and need to change a branch, might as well do it there)

- Tig (Log is fine in Magit too, just old habbits)

The most important change - HiDPI scaling on Linux for high resolution screens. Hopefully Gimp will follow the lead.

How sad is that we need to jump trough hoops to just disable ads on our devices.

And before ads advocate responds - ask for my money instead of polluting my mental space.

That's why I have public dotfiles. Also this situation happens rarely. The whole beauty of software is that you can customize it and make it your own.

The only downside I see with customization is that it can be huge timesink.

I guess to each his own, but I think you're really missing out.

P. S. Backups.

I wanted to write it before, but skipped. 35 million page views is not usage. My guess is that you have considerably less sessions with more than 1 page view. I doubt there are more than 5k active projects (again, not the ones used by 1 person).

There are a lot of links to SourceForge on the web. As someone in the thread pointed out there are even spammers abusing it. People clicking on the links and making "sessions" doesn't constitute actual usage.

I doubt anyone in this thread uses SourceForge for hosting. I am not. And I wouldn't recommend it. If I asked my peers if they use it I'm certain that not a single person would say "Yes".

So yes, in my eyes it's dead.

Oh I just opened the site and there are statistics on main page. 600 bug reports and 12k commits per week across all of the hosted projects is not really a big number. 10th most recently updated project was updated 1 month ago. Yes there are still some fairly large projects hosted (probably only for distribution) on SF and they receive considerable amount of downloads, but they're only there because they have been on SF for ages.

Without fresh blood, those projects are just the last breath of SourceForge.

Sincerely good luck. My point was that not only you have to fix the past, but also deliver better product. The market is quite saturated, people have choices, the end users are more tech savvy with higher standards, developers expect much more as well.
