Love the look of the site!

How are you getting these printed and shipped? Do you do it yourself or consume a 3rd party service?
However, large LAN parties are far from being dead. There's Dreamhack and the like, and my alma mater runs a huge 2000+ players LAN event every year (https://lanets.ca/). It seems like it's become more of a grand event, as opposed to the couple times a year gathering with a handful of friends.
As a guy in his late 20s, it's really interesting to see how gaming has evolved and democratized itself during the past couple decades.
Installation is easy, upgrading (even between major versions) is completely painless, you get integration with Gitlab Continuous Integration, the Community Edition doesn't feel artificially gimped to get you to switch to a paid plan, Gitlab is great at fixing security issues. I also love the UX and it's not missing any feature in my experience compared to GitHub/Bitbucket.
I'm not affiliated with Gitlab in any way but it's honestly one of the rare pieces of software I only have praise for.
A few friends and I spun up our own instance of the CE about a week ago because we weren't too happy about Github's stance. It was incredibly easy to set up and it works flawlessly on a small 1 core, 2Gb VM.
A little off topic but can you share the effect the recent Github stuff has had for Gitlab? Did you get a lot more traffic?
I'm really not a huge fan of the GPL but you have to realize those are by design. To a supporter of the license, that's actually a plus.
> How do you intend on running a business and feeding your employees, let alone making investors happy following the virtues of GPL? Consulting and support only goes so far.
If the GPL doesn't fit your business plan, just don't use it. Do you see Open-Source projects using leaked closed-source code (or complaining that they can't do so)? No one is preventing companies from rewriting equivalent code and the authors had the right to select whatever terms they wanted when they created their project. It's their creative output after all.
I wish I was taught any kind of disengagement skill when I was being bullied as a kid, even though it never should have happened (and since I can foresee the uproar here, I'm in no way implying the two are equivalent but merely noticing similarities).
So let me clarify: I don't believe it was her fault in any way. Quite the opposite, I believe 100% that the guy is at fault here. My point was more related to the fact that we (myself included) tend to maintain relationships that are clearly unhealthy in hindsight. I probably should have chosen a better word than responsibility seeing as it was more a comment aimed at the apparent lack of capacity to adequately disengage from unhealthy situations a lot of adults seem to exhibit. We're not used to saying "no" and to moving on. I was only saying this because similar situations happened to me in which I wished later that I could have disengaged and saved me some heartache.
I believe (only from reading this complaint) that the behavior exhibited by Mateen is unacceptable and reprehensible and that he's clearly at fault. My intention was not to blame her but merely to express a general observation regarding a lot of relationship failures I witnessed. So if this came across as victim blaming I sincerely apologize. It wasn't the intent.
I don't want to downplay the situation but I feel like it's your responsibility as an adult to disengage from situations like this faster than she did. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess but the whole situation seems to have been really mishandled (and that's a feeling I'm getting from a court complaint from her side). Again, I'm not saying she asked for it or anything, just that pursuing an ongoing relationship might not have been the best idea.
In any case, that seems to be a terrible working environment. I also find it kind of ironic that the co-founders of an inherently social app like Tinder appear so poor at handling interpersonal/romantic relationships.
The impressive thing here, imho, is the seemingly effortless and seamless transition and replacement. The background is fixed and the surface texture is stretched in what seems like real time.
I'm commenting on this topic to share my opinion and, to the extent of my knowledge, try to explain why I believe someone else's reasoning is flawed.
Now if you believe my reasoning is false, you're free to call that out. You're not free, however, to dismiss my contribution to the discussion simply because I'm not operating under perfect understanding of a field that isn't mine.
Call it out, explain why, participate in the discussion, and drop the personal attacks. I think at least part of my point is valid, even after what you pointed out.
Even then, we never stopped using classical mechanics even though they were proven to be wrong at a variety of scales. They just happen to very closely approximate reality in some contexts and are useful.
The fact of the matter is, we have tools that are correct as far as we know and they point towards thinking that every quantum system is computable. Until this has been proven wrong, the fallacy is believing the brain is different, not the other way around.
I'd say dismissing thousands of years of philosophy here is relevant, since it was likely produced before we had the tools to understand what we're dealing with. All experimental physics points towards an understanding of how quantum systems work, and that's all we need to model any quantum system. The brain is not any different because it's a brain.
In a perfect setting the interviewer wouldn't evaluate the candidate's ability to solve the problem, but his/her ability to approach it, explore it, ask questions and take steps in the appropriate direction.
Right after that the interviewer told me they have a lot of code that manages assets that have priorities between each other and that this is the kind of problem they solve regularly.
It was a good question: it wasn't too hard as to take hours to solve, it was a decent test of how I was able to choose an appropriate representation for the data and it applied to a real world problem they solve.
I understand your point but I don't really buy it. I train lifeguards as a hobby/side-job (I'm in uni right now) and pressure is the number 1 reason they give us for failing their final pratical test. I can't give a kid a permit to work as a lifeguard if the pressure of an exam makes him screw up because the real life pressure of saving somebody's life is even greater.
The exact same applies here for all jobs where you expect the engineer to work in stressful situations.
Asking a concrete, directed question meant to understand part of the problem and get him "unstuck" would probably have been fine and expected.
I also expect the man whose other company sends stuff into space to be able to lead this one to overcoming those challenges.
There was no online mode and AFAIK no way to multiplayer across multiple consoles. Multiplayer was 2-4 players slit-screen on one console.
Very expensive 10$
Choose one please.
I don't know about those particular apps, but an era where any piece of software over 1.99$ is considered expensive is a very sad one.
The fact of the matter is (for me at least) that I paid for the 7970 as it was on paper when I bought it. Of course I'd be mad if performance on it was artificially lowered, then members of the press were given a new BIOS to restore it to normal but that doesn't seem to be what's happening here at all.
Todo lists just don't happen to be something I value enough to shell 50$ for. I might look into the iOS version though, I like portable todo lists a lot more.
Imagine a world where you had to pay 50$ for every app on your phone (I personally have 10-15 that I use regularly), every web app that you use (these guys have bills to pay too) and everything installed on your desktop computer. You wouldn't be able to use as much as you use today.
The fact is, this app seems great, I might try it, but I usually shell out 50$ for software on either an exceptional game that I know I will be playing for a long time (often multiplayer) or some development tool/license (for example Apple dev program). Organizing my life into items that I can tick doesn't seem that complicated or essential to me that it's worth 50$.
