Speed. Simplicity. And RAM usage.

Git fork actually has more features than gitup and runs with lower ram. You can try it out to see what I mean

I would love to see a sharing about your own experience. I never got the chance to run it the self-hosted way.
PleaseHelpMe··on Short Gitlab tutorial for curious people
The UI and UX to me (the author of this guide) is something that I can get used to. I leave it for the reader to decide which one they feel comfortable, I don't want to force anyone to use something they don't like. My whole purpose is to introduce what Gitlab has got and presenting them on Github.

Thank you for understanding ;)
PleaseHelpMe··on Short Gitlab tutorial for curious people
I understand why people make fun of this. It is obviously ironic. But I am happy most of the comments replying to yours speak out my intent. I neither "accidentally" put it on Github, nor make use of Github unethically to promote Gitlab.

> it's kind of shitty to use someone's platform to push a competitor

I am sorry you felt that way. But to be honest, I don't feel that this is bad. I myself don't tell people to abandon Github and move to Gitlab. I just write a small guide to instruct people and whom I targeted happens to use Github a lot, so I put it there. Just that. And if you look carefully, I am a heavy Github user and I didn't stop or fully migrated from Github to Gitlab. I did not criticize anything about Github in the guide, also.

My bad. I captured the wrong icon. I fixed that in the latest commit.

PleaseHelpMe··on Build an ICO on Stellar in Less Than One Hour
Don't worry I totally understand your point. Maybe I am a little bit harsh, but I still won't rollback my decision of flagging this. I understand that he doesn't try to fool anyone, but his attention vs what everyone perceives may conflict. I have to admit that on a site like Hackernews, the first time I look at this link at its address, I almost thought that Google is now interested in ICO, had it not been for the 1 minute that I try to look back at the domain and then go to its faq page.
PleaseHelpMe··on Build an ICO on Stellar in Less Than One Hour
In terms of ethics, it is not good. Even if you don't try to sell anything, making visitors confused with your domain is not by any means recommended. Who will make sure that he won't and never try to sell anything from now on. I am not arguing on the content, though. Whether it is good or not depends on the reader's assessment. You can't forgive one's evil act just because that act looks cool (to you).
PleaseHelpMe··on Build an ICO on Stellar in Less Than One Hour
Sorry but I flag this due to your confusing domain. goolge? Seriously?. Even more hilarious is your faq page:

"FAQ Q: What’s up with the name?

A: The name is a most likely vain attempt to lure some poor souls from the British Indian Ocean Territory who mistype the name of a well-known search engine into a web of hopefully interesting blog posts."

PleaseHelpMe··on GitPlex – browse code in Git repository like in IDE
The link you gave me responded with :

``` Object Not Found Unable to find blob path 'video/iterative-review.mp4' in revision '1.0' ```

About tree graph for too many branches, please take a look at an example, such as https://dev.gitplex.com/projects/tensorflow/commits. You can see on the left of the commits, there is a tree. I just want to know if we have a lot branches, how the UI handle that :)

PleaseHelpMe··on GitPlex – browse code in Git repository like in IDE
This is nice. I really love this. However, it is lacking demo for pull requests and I wonder what happen to the tree graph if there are too many branches.

Hi, OP and also a long time Linux advocate here. I own a list called Awesome Linux Software and I was constantly searching for great software. That's how I jumped into your app and decided to post it here on HN.

PleaseHelpMe··on Ask HN: How do you read programming books?
Long time reader of Head First series here. I have finished : - HF Software Development - HF Design Pattern - HF Java - HF Android Development I have no complaints. Really, thank you for making those books. They helped me a lot. I think you couldn't have every reader to agree that your book is good because each person has their own taste, but to be fair, yours do a good job in delivering quality content in many aspects under a friendly narrative.

PleaseHelpMe··on Show HN: Hacker News desktop application in Kotlin/Swing
Very nice app and promising. However, I would the UI would look more "modern" (don't know if this is possible or not). Right now the button and the scrollbar is a bit outdated. The bonus point for me that this is written in Kotlin, not another Electron RAM killer app.
PleaseHelpMe··on A Large-Scale Study of Programming Languages and Code Quality in GitHub (2014)
Summary :

> The data indicates that functional languages are better than procedural languages; it suggests that disallowing implicit type conversion is better than allowing it; that static typing is better than dynamic; and that managed memory usage is better than unmanaged. Further, that the defect proneness of languages in general is not associated with software domains. Additionally, languages are more related to individual bug categories than bugs overall.

Very good writing indeed. However, the metaphor here gives me the feeling of "enough internet today"... Btw, the anchor link to #project-structure don't work. Hope you (if you are the author) fix that soon.

No thanks

PleaseHelpMe··on GitHub Desktop 1.0
Funny it is based on Electron and it doesnt support Linux. Maybe they think Linux developers only live in terminal, or they just hate it when someone criticises Electron consuming too much memory

Another two lists that should be mentioned here are:

[1]: https://github.com/iCHAIT/awesome-macOS

[2]: https://github.com/Awesome-Windows/Awesome

They all share the same idea.

PleaseHelpMe··on Awesome Linux Software
I totally understand your need. Most of the awesome+OS_name list, they seem not to care so much about these stuffs, or the owner just doesn't have time to collect all the related information. Checkout : [1]: https://github.com/iCHAIT/awesome-macOS [2]: https://github.com/Awesome-Windows/Awesome

> I would advocate people getting more familiar with their package manager.

Personally, I think these kinds of lists and the package manager don't compete with each other. On one side, you list the software packages. The other side is where you get them/ where you package or publish some if you are a developer. For example, if you are from another OS and just came to linux and you wonder: how can I edit videos on Linux. I don't think searching from the package manager is more valuable than this list. It gives people more choices, a wider look, a quick skim like you go shopping.

> Plus there are nice graphical package management tools like the Ubuntu Software Center.

I swear half of the softwares I found on this list (with my usage, not all of them) is not in the Ubuntu Software Center.
