It is weird, it's off putting, and it does come off as arrogant. Someone has convinced someone else that these lack of interactions is saving them something or from something. I think it's costs them but I have no data, so it's pure speculation. I know I wouldn't consider them for any serious service except maybe email at this point.

I used the examples they provided on the repo README. I would still argue I can get the same results with less typing.

  git shortlog -sn | sort -r | head -n 10

If I run the 2nd command example against the chromium repo, it takes several minutes where a shell script using git for-each-ref takes about 8 seconds. I would also argue that this might be better expressed as commit_count <= 10 but I realize you're also using an example. This is the script I ran:

  git for-each-ref --format='%(refname:short)' refs/heads/ | while read branch; do
    commit_count=$(git rev-list --count $branch)
    [ "$commit_count" -le 10 ] && echo "Branch: $branch, Commit Count: $commit_count"
  done

I like the idea, and I like sql, but I feel like this is a lot more typing for the same information you could extract using just git commands. Am I missing something? Take for instance:

The commit example:

    select name, count(name), from commits group by name

is actually:

    git shortlog -sn

The tag example:

    select * from tags

is actually:

    git tag

The branch example:

    select * from branches

is actually:

    git branch

I still disagree. Verizon serves every fortune 500 company in existence and our enterprise compute offering was not vmware. Not a single vmware node in all 100+ pops. I also worked at Godaddy, zero vmware, even after IPO, and they most certainly have B2B customers too.

That was quick.

I worked at some fairly large hosting companies before cloud took over and never once saw vmware. It was almost always virtuozzo/openvz

Most corps are looking at GH EMU, which means you bring the username/email address, and that a public GH username is not possible. This also prevents the creation of public repositories.

The people they care about don't use GitHub oauth, but instead use their own private idp like Okta.

These are the dumbest reasons possible, certainly not worth destroying a company on the move or people's livelihoods over.

It means "if we can't have it, you can't either". It's a powerful message.

It's crazy what average folks can do when they collectively own the means of production.

Steve, where do we send the money? Jokes aside, this is pretty compelling stuff. It maybe a toy, but look at all these kids and how happy we are.

Exactly, someone is lying big here.

The second I saw it, I knew it too, and then I immediately started getting anxiety about parking.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, lived there for 40+ years, had family in Korea Town and lived in Hollywood off of Cahuenga. I'm very familiar with these structures, I've never heard them referred to as dingbats, ever.

If you've been in these neighborhoods there is only one thing that matters, parking, and it's virtually non-existent.

Valve already did the evil part, they were just so early to the game (pun intended) no one knew how to react or what it meant. They somehow avoided mass criticism, or I wasn't paying good enough attention.

I question a 30% developer fee for using Steam. Loot boxes in CS and TF2 to get and keep kids gambling. Destroying nearly every mod and skin community. I don't think I'm willing to sweep all that under the rug because they made it easier to open a steam deck.

I like Valve believe it or not, but I question a lot of these decisions.

I've never seen a contractor have better salary/pay unless they're a fully independent subject matter expert and have no interest in being employed. I've hired a quite a few contractors and there is usually two cases, I need workers, or expertise that is highly limited.

Most contractors, not SME, are sourced from staffing agencies/partners. Sure, the resource cost is on par with a salaried worker, but typically the staffing company sourcing these people are going to take a huge chunk on that contract, at least 1/3. So yes, the resource/person is 280K on paper, but it's extremely rare they actually get paid that. The staffing agencies will provide benefits, but they're not even close to what in house staff are getting.

It also becomes nearly impossible to hire a contractor from partners in cases like this because you have to buy out the resource on the contract which is almost a non-starter because these fees can easily be 6 figures per head.

It's not. It should be. I have no issues with applying educational rebates for members of the police force, but it needs to result in less litigation. At this point police are costing taxpayers huge sums of money due to lack of understanding and short term training. I don't know if we'll every move away from the current thinking, but I think most citizens want protectors, not warriors.

The reason this won't happen is because Oracle would get dunked on in court. Also not a lawyer, but I think it would be near impossible to argue that facts are malicious. I agree, it's not entirely relevant to mention it, but we're reading the article and talking about it, so mission accomplished from the publishers perspective I guess.

I'm not surprised at all that Texas isn't interested in energy that will devalue crude and natural gas given their the top producers of both.

You're right if we're not accounting for time, energy, work, money, and being displaced while they're refinishing said floor in your waste assessment. My last house had real wood floors, you can't be there when it's happening, even water based lacquers have toxic fumes and particulates.

Vinyl is cheaper, stronger, less prone to scratches than wood, more water resistant, and requires minimum maintenance and upkeep cost. Vinyl is also recyclable...

I would argue there is zero point in using real hardwood on floors these days given vinyl planks are way cheaper, way more durable, and look nearly indistinguishable from real thing.

Yeah, hard pass for me, no pun intended.

I concur. Google doesn't seem to believe in a tangible customer service methodology at all. They go out of their way to remove human interaction at seemingly every level. I don't know if it's a legal strategy or what, but it gives me bad vibes too.

I'm mad that a drunk driver crashed into my parked car, which caused me to crash into another car which caused that car to crash into another car, costing well over 50K in property damages and instead of arresting him or investigating his drunk driving, they gave him legal advice.

The fire department that arrived was able to deem him as intoxicated immediately, he also had an open container in the car LAPD refused to acknowledge. The cherry on top is when he told my insurance company I pulled out in front of him, which is insurance fraud. Thankfully that was that lie that broke the camel's back, I was able to prove I wasn't in the car because my airbag never deployed and the fact this happened at 3AM in the morning.

So yeah, I'm mad that LAPD skirts their responsibility and instead of taking care of me the victim in this case, they went out of their way to ensure that a drunk driver who could have easily killed someone, was able to walk away from everything with zero consequences outside of his insurance fraud.

I had a drunk driver hit my parked car. LAPD took him off to the side and let him know he could refuse a breathalyzer. Thanks LAPD... We need police reform, abolish qualified immunity.

I've lost a lot of faith in medical professionals recently to the point I almost don't want to waste time with them unless I really have to. I was having issues with severe pain and tension in all of my movements. My doctor shrugged it off twice, the third time my wife came and she read him the riot act for not taking me seriously. I did a blood test same day and my rheumatoid factors were so off the charts(doctors words) he was surprised I wasn't more vocal. Dude, I came to see you two times before, I need to cause a scene in your office to get real care?

Then my wife went for hip surgery. We were told it was routine, everything is going to be great, less pain, better range of motion. My wife came out of the ER with the inability to move her leg, drop foot, nerve damage. She went in able and came out disabled. 3 big surgeries later, she can walk again. UCSF doesn't want to hear us out on anything related to that botched surgery and the surgeon has since moved to New York.

Dealing with medical professionals is like dealing with toddlers. You have to push them on everything or they simply do not care.

So if someone shares CP on discord you think they should be given a warning and not permabanned? The justice system isn't going to give them any slack so why should a private entity? Where do you draw the line? I asked in my initial comment, "What's egregious to you". No one will answer that...

They were banned for doxxing 13 year olds in call of duty lobby and calling them the N word... I'm sure everyone feels so much better now. That's what you need? Really...

I love how you left out the "/author"... I'm sorry, where are we again?
