http-teapot··on Moving to GitLab
I am not exactly sure of your use case but we build our Docker images in Travis without problems. https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/docker/

http-teapot··on Tildes – A non-profit community site driven by its users' interests
Thank you for taking the time to write this insightful answer.

I really like your approach to this problem. I like the old-school and open not-for-profit approach. You are in for a tough ride and I look forward to hear more about it.

I find the Technical Goals page particularly interesting and debatable: https://docs.tildes.net/technical-goals

Accessibility and i18n aren't mentioned which is unfortunate.

http-teapot··on Ask HN: Do you do code review?
This is a great list!

I'd like to suggest one if you don't mind

7. Review your own code before handing it over. Time is wasted when the submitter left out obvious issues such as typos, missing comments, unnecessary complexity, debug code, etc.

Consider the reviewer's time precious because context switching is expensive and she/he might not get back to it as quick as you'd like to.

Implementing clear guidelines and linting would help.

http-teapot··on Elon Musk Deletes Own, SpaceX and Tesla Facebook Pages After #deletefacebook
Probably for ads. Since ads can be rendered as regular post a profile is needed but they won't be rendered in the profile's feed.

Apple also has an account with no posts on Twitter: https://twitter.com/apple

http-teapot··on ​Docker has a business plan headache
Isn't the pricing a little high to start with?

https://www.docker.com/pricing

The basic enterprise edition is about $62 per node per month and standard edition is double that.

http-teapot··on Saving San Francisco goes deeper than “build more housing”
There has been many apartment buildings built around Van ness (south and/or east of Whole Foods on California)... it's not just SoMa but you are right it's not enough.
http-teapot··on Problems with MacBook butterfly switch keyboards
I have two 12 MacBook at home. I've replaced the keyboard twice on one and zero times on the other. Each time some keys got stuck in pressed position which meant we had to press harder. My other had similar issues except the keys popped back up somehow.

That occasional glorious press on "Return" key may lock it... and it feels terrible.

http-teapot··on Silicon Valley CEO Pleads ‘No Contest’ to Abusing His Wife
> Is hitting your kids any less morally despicable than hitting your spouse?

> Why does such a large section of society think it's OK to hit your kids and not your spouse?

It's not OK. Beating your kids is not OK. Beating your wife is not OK. Beating anyone is not OK.

Resolving to violence is weak.

One of the cases is when adult tries to explain something to kid but kid can't understand. Adult gets frustrated and starts beating kid. I was not a smart kid and my father was not particularly great at explaining things. He never beat me but verbally and vocally felt that way.

http-teapot··on Twitch to start selling video games this week
Back from Quakenet era there were fewer and smaller online communities and generally internet was seen as niche whereas now it is a commodity.

Are there any gaming communities still using IRC? It might still be niche which is why it's not a problem?

Disclaimer: grew up in France during that time so can't speak for other countries

http-teapot··on A Woman’s Job Interview Was Cancelled Because She Asked a Simple Question
This happens all the time... except most times companies will cancel interview without justifications. Companies will never tell why they didn't pick you for the job either.

Always wait until the company wants to hire before talking money.

http-teapot··on Show HN: Dply – Free temporary Linux servers
The price reinforces the idea of free temporary Linux servers with short TTL. I think it's smart and the price point could possibly make up for the money lost providing a free service. I am curious as to how it'll turn out financially.
http-teapot··on Slow email replies cause serious anxiety
That makes sense, I think acknowledging with a "thank you" could go a long way. Not a big fan of committing to get back to the subject since it'd just delay the inevitable and possibly pile up onto a huge pile of todos. I guess there are sometimes no way around it.
http-teapot··on Slow email replies cause serious anxiety
I've never been as busy as the past 4 months. I don't reply to emails that requires lengthy text. If I can reply by "Yes", "No" or any of the derivatives then you'll get an answer from me.

If you have a problem, what do you think is the solution? If you need something, what exactly do you need? You want to contact me, what's your phone number and when are you available? You don't feel great, why? How can we solve the problem?

It's super important to not hurt people feelings and speak right and that takes a lot of my time (especially as a non-native English speaker.)

On the other end I commit to read every emails.

http-teapot··on Forbes Site, After Begging You Turn Off Adblocker, Serves Up Malware 'Ads'
I'll give uBlock a try!

I am aware of Ghostery's business model and I am not against businesses selling metrics and/or ads in general. I think there should be consequences for companies that do not have the best interests for the users.

http-teapot··on Forbes Site, After Begging You Turn Off Adblocker, Serves Up Malware 'Ads'
I run both AdBlock and Ghostery. I experienced the same interstitial as every one, was particularly interested in the article headline, disabled AdBlock, reloaded the page, still blocked, disabled Ghostery, reload the page, worked.

Ghostery disabled, it initially reported that about 60 trackers loaded in the page which then quickly turned to 97 to then reach more than 110 trackers.

I highly recommend installing Ghostery.

http-teapot··on Show HN: Open Hunt – an open and community-run alternative to Product Hunt
I share the exact same feeling. Signed on PH months ago to drop a comment and never got "approved". I wish comments were public on OpenHunt.co so I can take part in the conversation.
http-teapot··on The web is becoming unusable
I'd recommend Ghostery; with it you can remove all kind of scripts that do not necessarily add value to the user experience.

You quickly realize how much useless scripts are loaded in the page. You'll also realize that these scripts sometimes add other scripts to that page.

For example, gizmodo.com filtered by Ghostery blocks 12 trackers. When it's disabled it detects 17 trackers.

http-teapot··on Why the Rails founder automatically rejects 80% of Software Engineer applicants
Isn't what version control is for? You could see how the code evolved by looking at its history and combined with meaningful commit messages you can easily identify the original problem and how it got solved.
