uvatbc··on ZFS 2.2.0 (RC): Block Cloning merged
Technically, yes: through the use of Truenas that gives us API access to iscsi on ZFS.
uvatbc··on Gitlab has introduced a five-user limit for free groups
GitHub self hosted runners might address this concern.

git rev-list --count ${GIT_HASH}
uvatbc··on You can be shy and still be a CEO
That's what I thought of as well, but then realized it was "Bees! Not the bees!" and not "A lot of bees"
uvatbc··on Distcc – distribute builds across multiple machines simultaneously (2006)
We've built Crave.io to share build cache between developers without resorting to customer supplied NFS or other storage bottlenecks.
uvatbc··on Windows XP leak confirmed after user compiles the leaked code into a working OS
Leaked from parent company and hosted on GitHub. If this is true, then the person who did it is either a fool or has a brilliant sense of humor.
uvatbc··on A Free Software OS for the ReMarkable E-Paper Tablet
This doesn't seem like hindering anything. There's no legal block, there's no stopping you from RTFM and following the steps, it's not as if the author is even hiding the steps.

Paying for convenience isn't a hinderance. You just want the convenience at zero price.

uvatbc··on A Few More Reasons Rust Compiles Slowly
Shameless plug: We just started supporting rustc compiler caching and released it as part of our support for open source projects: https://crave.io/#opensource

We're showcasing the Libra project to start with and would be up for adding other projects that the community is interested in.

uvatbc··on The History of Development of Norton Commander (2010)
Norton editor was another masterpiece.

Pre acquisition Norton products were amazing.

uvatbc··on Little known features of iTerm2
I like tmuxp: https://github.com/tmux-python/tmuxp/blob/master/README.rst
uvatbc··on Setting Up a Jenkins Home Lab
I'd like to know more about your setup.

We're a small startup building infrastructure for developers. We do address problems like what you describe: enforcement of the exact library version requirements for each codebase, reduction of artifact egress costs, integration into the Jenkins workflow as well as into IDE for devs and QA, and more.

We've been looking for game devs who'd be interested in what we're doing. Please reach out if you're interested.

uvatbc··on Syncthing graduation day
Windows and Mac support is much better these days.

However, the case insensitive file system in Windows makes it annoying to use with *nix systems.

uvatbc··on Syncthing graduation day
I do this in two steps:

1. An "stignore.txt" at the root of a shared directory. This gets automatically synced to every device.

2. "#include stignore.txt" in '.stignore' that I need to manually write on every new device.

uvatbc··on PewDiePie’s Battle for the Soul of the Internet
> He's suggesting that, but it is extremely unlikely that he didn't know. Oh? Is there any evidence to back up that claim?

> Sounds like the journalists are doing their job. Sounds like the death of investigative journalism.

uvatbc··on GitLab is now running on GCP
Unless you want to claim that Google is now a tool of the Government (A), then your point of censorship and free speech are moot.

(A): This extraordinary claim would require extraordinary evidence.

uvatbc··on Google will lose $50M or more in 2018 from Fortnite bypassing the Play Store
> Why are we still falling for this crap?

We fall for this because a subset of us has been provoked to point out the obvious flaw in the headline or the summary and another subset has been provoked into defending the part that isn't flawed.

I alternated between feeling like this was a question worth answering and feeling like a dick for answering this with your own words.

uvatbc··on Qt Creator 4.7.0 released
Are you looking for something like Emacs' Tramp mode (https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TrampMode)?

We've been working on an equivalent that can work with IDEs like QtCreator.

Send me a note to the email in my profile, lets see if we can help out.

uvatbc··on Using the Web for a Day with JavaScript Turned Off
I'd prefer to take your comment as a push for a common language across the planet.

In other words, remove the need for i18n before removing i18n.

uvatbc··on Yale physicists find signs of a time crystal
No argument there.

Hello readers from the future!

uvatbc··on Ask HN: What are some concrete examples of companies blockchains make possible?
Storj maybe?

PS: 10 hours in, this question was still unanswered. I know it's the weekend, but my first thought was: Common wisdom seems to think there is no concrete example.

uvatbc··on Writing a thesis in Markdown
https://hub.docker.com/r/accupara/business-cards/

This was originally intended to create business cards using latex. No reason why you can't use the installed Latex for everything else.

uvatbc··on Ask HN: What will be the next big thing after “Big Data” and “AI”?
It's already here: Blockchain and crypto.

The worst about this comment is that even I cannot decipher if I'm being sarcastic or not.

uvatbc··on Bazel can now build Haskell
This is exactly what we're doing at my startup. The vision is to let anyone check out any repository and just run one command that works irrespective of the actual build tool to compile those sources in the right environment and get you binaries in the end.
uvatbc··on The biggest mistake new iOS developers make when coding
I agree. Sadly, "not writing unit tests" isn't unique to iOS developers.
uvatbc··on Ask HN: What is your favorite CS paper?
One of my all time favorites has been the Jefferey Mogul paper on Receive Livelock: https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2008/readings/mogul96usenix...

I read it first as a normal CS paper, but later started seeing it as a commentary on an extremely busy work life.

Right there in the first paragraph: "... receive livelock, in which the system spends all its time processing interrupts, to the exclusion of other tasks..."

Does this remind you of anything?

uvatbc··on Ask HN: What is your password management solution?
Re:Bluetooth I use AirDroid for this. It works as a vnc client not as a Bluetooth keyboard.
uvatbc··on Sam Altman and Y Combinator Bullying Accusations
Suggestion:

uvatbc··on Developers who use spaces make more money than those who use tabs
I don't know who you are, but tabs?? We definitely can't be friends anymore.
