kiloreux··on GitHub Incident
Yeah, but theory and practice are very different things. If CI always worked for me and my experience was great with it. I will not invest time to do independent CI for everything. Hence depending on Github Actions. Clearly not the best approach, but it's about being pragmatic also.
kiloreux··on GitHub Incident
I am a solo dev, but I work in a company and now have been working on pushing something to test it on Github actions. If it was something different, maybe. But I understand how I might have miscommunicated that.
kiloreux··on GitHub Incident
This is getting too much.I wonder what effects this will have on the reputation of Github. If I am blocked by Github every few days and can't properly operate. I will start looking for a more reliable alternative. And I am just a solo dev that pays $4, what happens to companies for whom time is worth a lot of money? Pretty disappointing.

Disclaimer: I work for the company

kiloreux··on Heat dome causing record breaking heat wave
The affects of this on third world country are even worse. Here in Algeria we are having the worst drought in over 20 years. What I fear, is that if this continues to happen, people could literally start dying from thirst again. I wonder how good is desalination of sea water technology and if we could see some startups that explore this field, certainly a lot of people's lives to be changed.
kiloreux··on Deep Learning with PyTorch: A 60 Minute Blitz [video]
Not all of us need to build their own ML algos. Just in the same way that not all of us need to build their sorting libraries or data structures. Some people are specialized in this to develop and do research. While other software engineers just want something they can use without much hassle and just a superficial understanding.
kiloreux··on Half of lonely people think no one will notice if something bad happens to them
I don't think it's the "notice" part here. It's the "caring" part. To know that if something happens to you all your relatives and friends won't care or feel anything for losing you is the part that hurts, as for noticing. For sure they'll notice.
kiloreux··on Facebook lied: its' in-home “Portal” cameras will collect your data
Except for very specific niches of people who care about their privacy. Most people I have interacted with, don't care about this at all. I think that the real problem is how to make people more aware of the importance of their privacy. They only care about the usability and utility of the solution they're using. Which is unfortunate. But until they're more aware, nothing is stopping Facebook from doing this and lying to their teeth about it.
kiloreux··on NixOS 18.09 Jellyfish Released
It was just a typo twice. Sorry for the confusion.
kiloreux··on NixOS 18.09 Jellyfish Released
So the real versions here is in the `import <nixpkgs> {};` You need to pin it to a specific version or even commit from nixpkgs github repo. So instead of that, you can find the commit that has all your desired versions and pin it that way. with import (builtins.fetchTarball https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/9a5f7b1630c138a82cb...) {};

This way, all your versions of packages will be pinned to this specific revision, and you can also use multiple revisions at the same time.

kiloreux··on How Old Are Successful Tech Entrepreneurs?
Did you really have to be that guy ? What he meant basically is using a relational database. Please refer to the HN guidelines before commenting. It strongly encourages to have comments that add value to the discussion.
kiloreux··on GitLab Ultimate and Gold now free for education and open source
Not only that. But when I was a student and I live in a third world country where college won't give you an email address. GitHub was more than happy to accept my student certificate. It was very helpful of them. If we talk about countries like mine, then going through the administration way to get such thing is sort of fictional. We can barely make the administration handle our real absolutely necessary stuff. There are a lot of motivated students in my country and others that love this kind of things and if you are requiring the intervention of institution for setup, you might just not have offered it in the first place.
kiloreux··on Congratulations GitHub on the acquisition by Microsoft
I wouldn't wanna be with such service provider. Very trashy behavior,I have switched to bitbucket and have been happy. This post just confirms my choice of not going for gitlab ever.
kiloreux··on CSCI E-23a: Introduction to Game Development
Slightly off topic: Much of the credit to my software work and career so far is mostly attributed to this course. I remember starting it around 2012/2013 when I first got internet access (third world, yeah). And David J Malan (the professor for this course), was one of the most amazing teachers I had the chance to listen to. The way he went through basically everything from C programming to algorithms, JavaScript made me fall in love with the field and pursue it. 5 years after, this gives a good feeling of nostalgia.

The importance of giving access to this kind of material for people like me from third world with much lower quality of education is a huge thing that not only changed my life but the lives of many other people I know.

kiloreux··on Facebooks crawls every page recorded by its tracking pixel
While I certainly don't disagree with what you said. I think you need to look at his arguments as a way to protect user data. Not all users that use your "mediocre" technical solution are aware of how "mediocre" it is. And if tokens are sent with GET requests or whatever stupid thing.
kiloreux··on Slack is offline
I just realized that being a remote team. I can't join any of my teammates. Neither see live changes to the infrastructure and the repositories.

The things we take for granted.

kiloreux··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2017)
Thank you for your pointer. Very useful for other applicants so they don't waste time. I hope everyone manages to describe his experience in the hiring thread with such companies. So applicants could save time and no waste effort applying there. It also sorts as a kind of punishment for such companies to stop wasting candidates times.
kiloreux··on Ask HN: GitHub vs. GitLab paid plans (2017)
This, I have been using bitbucket for the last few months and have been a more than happy customer. They have been redesigning their website UI/UX and so far using their tooling with pipelines for testing and deployment have been more than reliable. Totally prefer them over gitlab but I do still use GitHub for OSS of course.
kiloreux··on Using Open Source to Create a Video Thumbnails Service
As retarded as this question could be? Why not just use Ffmpeg? It's the ultimate tool for such tasks.
kiloreux··on Ask HN: What keeps you up at night? What do you worry about?
Not being able to make enough money. As I lived in extreme poverty in my childhood (and all that changed thanks to online MOOCs). I now work as remote SE and I have around $10k in savings. I am graduating with robotics and AI masters degree. But I always fear that I will lose all my money and be poor again. I literally prefer dying than being poor again. The worst days of my life, I couldn't have a proper childhood because of that, it's the thing that I fear the most in this life and haunts me everyday.
kiloreux··on A proposal to move Gnome to GitLab
Frankly it might matter to some people that it is self-hosted and open source. But I myself for one don't give a single wit about it. I want something that works for me and that makes my life easier as a developer. I already have my development problems to solve and in no way I want to add problems of the party that hosts my code.It's just not worth it.
kiloreux··on A proposal to move Gnome to GitLab
Finally someone sharing my opinion about it. I don't get all the hype they get especially on HN. Basically every experience I had with the product has been terrible so far. (And I gave it a lot of chances). I was keeping my thesis code on it and sometimes I go home and try to pull the work I have done in the lab and there's some error that I am facing. I moved my code to both bitbucket/GitHub and have been very satisfied. I am not quite sure what pushed Gnome to such proposal or even considering it. But IMHO using anyone of two other providers would save much time for Gnome contributors.
kiloreux··on Ask HN: Experiences with Image, Video and Doc processing services
Hey,

This is Abdel from Transloadit! I just wanted you to know that we do provide free support for our customers for onboarding solving any issues you might along the way. you can ping me at abdel@transloadit.com for any inquiries or if you need further help starting with the service.

kiloreux··on Ask HN: How should I study algorithms and datastructures?
I would first ask. Do you really need this in your day to day life? I know a lot of companies use this for hiring, but you can still get a job without them.

However if you still want to study them, there are plenty of resources online, like this youtube channel[1].

Taking 2 days to understand insertion sort is fine but you just need to practice learning more often and use the things you learn more often. Even if it's on toy projects.

kiloreux··on Ask HN: Has the recent rulings/news affected your hiring efforts?
I am on the other side of the equation. Graduating this summer with Masters in Artificial Intelligence, I always wanted to immigrate to USA and work on solving interesting problems. But NO WAY I am doing this now. With all the recent things going, you never know when your life will be flipped upside down. And I can't risk investing so much efforts/time into such process (especially that I am muslim). I think there's a lot of other people like me. Even with the companies problem, I think, more people than ever now don't want to go to the US. Germany seems like a way much better choice now.
kiloreux··on Welcome, ACLU
I think it's pretty easy to see the answer to your question. Black people and cops violence don't hurt their interests. If black people will be killed then the effect on Google/AirBnB/Ycombinator will be low. However seeing that the ban on foreign countries visa (I expect a lot more countries to be added). It would be harder for tech companies that rely basically on technical talent from outside US.
kiloreux··on Ask HN: What new development technology in the last 3 years is worth learning?
I would love to recommend this Stanford course,very beneficial.

kiloreux··on In 2017, learn every language
You obviously did not read the whole blog post. He is talking about the importance of programming paradigms and the ideas behind programming languages that could lead to a more general understanding of new languages :) .

Besides the obvious choices (advertisement), you could look for sponsors to sponsor your posts (if you have enough visitors).
