It's all right. With great sarcasm comes great downvoteability and my comment was kind of sarcastic. Couldn't resist, again.

But does it Save The Nature?

This is good he is not drunk enough to tell the main dark truth - there are no senior engineers, only some people who finally managed how to cope with their imposter syndrome. Oh whait...

What's the deal? I can easily beat your results just sending my CV to all your list +1 random company.

Relax, this is just a marketing move. It doesn't matter the tone of the the news buzz, negative or positive. What matters is someone have written a post with "github" in the title and it's on the top of HN. Kudos to Github marketing team, exellent provocative move, everyone is talking about it.

> but we can't ignore a fact in favor of not hurting people's feelings

This should be either a perfectly put sarcastic statement or a result of living in a sort of cultural isolation in the past decade.

Isn't this considered incorrect nowadays - to publicly generalize a superiority of a group of humans with dimension by race or gender?

> and there are dozens of movies about how awfully students treat each other

This is a generalization. There are plenty of places where humans treat each other awfully - roads, corporative politics, queues in supermarkets. This all doesn't mean the solution is to don't buy a car, don't go to work or do only online shopping.

In a sense how miserable our actual achievements will be comparing to what sci-fi expected in 2021? Agree.

The typical conversion rate is ~1/100, so you'll need 10000 visitors to earn 1500$ this month (optimistically). The next month you'll need another 10000 to earn the same amount. Taking into account the amount of work put into this project, what's your marketing strategy besides Show HN posts?

I found that if you open it in 2 separate browser windows, you can edit both representations as independent documents, then after refresh the last edit wins. Is this intended behavior?

Please, don't start to learn a new programming language with memorizing it's API.

If you open a big enough codebase you'll find not a recipe book. It will look like an interconnected wiki with hyperlinks represented as navigation points between method and classes. So, write your code as a wiki book maybe?

When one wants to implement a new desktop UI framework there is an elephant in the room - the rich text editor. You can implement your own layout engine, styling, fonts rendering but production quality feature-rich text editor is another level of complexity.

> coming up with Kafka-esque processes to introduce to the community

Is there an example of public crowdsourced resource of the comparable to Wikipedia size which managed to generate meaningful content without such kind of processes/bureaucracy?

Interesting, just had this idea - would it be possible to feed the model with wrong data and make it giving bad suggestions to competitors who opted in?

I interpret it as "we will somehow monetize your data and train our AI model on your activities"

> Our free forever plan has unlimited tasks, sprints and workspaces, with no user limits.

If so, what obstacles prevent from open sourcing it? At least the the part of functionality which is declared to be free forever?

There is a cat for that (C)

How do you deal with complex reporting queries when embracing ORM completely?

Maybe be the remains of ancient civilizations could be found on orbit? Satellites can stay on geostactacionary orbit for a very long time. Some of them are sent to the "graveyard orbit" the radius of which was the same for Earth even millions years ago. Did anyone actually compared the number of objects there with the number of satellites we made?

What are the alternatives? As soon as these tombs found you can either open them now or set up 24/7 security around. The latter will be difficult to justify economically.

> I woke up late and well rested today.

And as usually with iOS, the user experience is excellent!

> The most popular consumer apps (FB, LinkedIn, blogs, photo sharing, goal trackers, slack, basecamp etc) shouldn't be centralized in this fashion

The evil CAP theorem enters the town here. Consumers want things to work fast, it doesn't fit the decentralized approach.

> Databases we have today aren't designed for the kind of consumer applications we use today

Consumers don't really care what kind of database do you use. They want to open the page and click the button, quick, now.

The code is there, but not all of it, as I understood - except the "Proprietary GPU Renderer". And yes - "Ultralight is free for non-commercial use and free for commercial use by companies with less than $100K gross annual revenue"

> What invalidates me as a good tenant?

Nothing, I believe you are a good tenant. But this competitive market with limited resources has "perfect is the enemy of good" situation. Landlords can choose and they want perfect.

This assumes there is a lot of good players, tenants and landlords and they are just waiting for a good app which will let them find each other finally. From my experience, this market is conflict driven, there is no such thing as good landlord and good tenant.

Same here - CentOS 8 + VNC, tried to setup myself for a couple of hours, then asked admin to help, ended up with Xrdp in 5 minutes.

Competing with Google is hard and DDG serves very specific niche trying to do it. With this niche growing big enough both Bing and Yandex share it, in a way. Imagine a successful business which is built solely on your API. I think the real problem DDG solves is the need of independent brand for Bing and Yandex, fitting this niche.
