As someone who went to the CHOP multiple times through out the protests, I don’t agree with your characterization. My personal experience was not that of yours. It _was_ uncomfortable, but nobody makes change by staying in their comfort zone.

As for the miles of filth and needles. I’ve seen too. I’ve seen it in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Miami, the list goes on. When you have folks being displaced as rents and property prices increase, so goes the middle and lower income folks. Small cities naturally don’t have challenges at the same scale as large cities.

Complaining does not help-What are the solutions to these problems? I don’t know, but I am all ears.


Is Honeycode for everyone? Nope. Is it for some people? Sure. I’ve read through countless comments extolling the virtues of hiring python, java, or (insert your favorite language) developer. Let’s not lose sight of the customer. Some problems don’t need a perfect solutions. Some problems need a solution that is more concurrent than excel. Some problems just need a quick solution for now. You would be surprised to learn how many small business run in these imperfect solutions.


We had a similar issue with building milestones. IMHO milestones in clubhouse are a way for a PM to interrogate the completeness of high level initiatives which are made up of epics. What was missing was the ability to organize a group of stories than span multiple epics into an iteration that the engineering team could push toward delivery. The iteration is a unit that the dev manager and team can use to track the completeness of their commitments. Recently clubhouse introduced iterations, to assist dev managers in tracking their deliverables.

I have never been happier with a tool and am excited to explore their new offering.


> MySQL can't add TEXT type column without length specified

>> That's just incorrect. What they MEANT to say is that they had a column to store filenames that was a varchar(255) column and people were running out of space with long directory paths and filenames. They could have moved to a TEXT column, but didn't because they thought it couldn't be indexed without specifying a length... But they were wrong, you CAN index a TEXT column without specifying the TEXT column length, you just have to specify the length of the substring you want to index.

Unless I am misunderstanding the SQL documentation, doesn't the prefix length specification essentially make it such that you can only partially index the field, up to the first 3072 bytes? (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/create-index.html) After that limit, the index _may_ still be performant, but does not at scale I would imagine that YMMV. You make a fair point that there are other patterns.

IMHO The article was not about bashing MySQL rather the GitLab team decided to choose one database platform to support and provided some basic reasoning around why they chose Postgres over MySQL. Both are great platforms, but you should choose the right tool for the job. While I agree that some of their arguments are weak but I am not sure that matters given that their strategic choice was one or the other.

Frankly, I would have liked to have seen some data that represents what their install base utilizes. If it is 90% mysql and 10% postgres their choice would be strange given the weak arguments. We just don't have that data.



My Uncle gave me a hardback copy of The Band Played On in 93 shortly before he died of AIDS. I’ve read it every 5ish years since his death and I cry every time.

Technology is rewriting the future of this virus and I can’t help but to think what might have been different had he contracted HIV in a different time.


You need only look at South Africa to see what could have happened if it came 20 years earlier.


Depends on the industry. Services tend to use the rule of 1/3. 1/3 for the company, 1/3 for overhead, 1/3 for salary.


Don't know why this was dead, it's a rule of thumb for a wide variety of industries.


The concept piqued my interest but after reviewing the FAQ, I am a bit underwhelmed. The upside is that I get better oversight, the downside is that all expenses are on a prepaid cash only basis (since it's a prepaid card, I have to front the money well before the purchase is made). Purchasing card programs are not just about oversight, they are also about cash flow and trade credit optimization. It seems that the app only addresses oversight.


For some companies such as those in manufacturing, enhanced oversight and better spend control are necessary card program requirements. I agree that business credit would add significant value. Thanks for the suggestion.


This project is _not_ about bringing UNIX to Windows. It is about bringing the open ssh protocol to Windows. As a daily UNIX and Windows user in an enterprise environment, I can say that a fully integrated sshd is a welcomed addition. I have written and maintained many WinRM interop ruby gems and cannot wait until we can deprecate them in favor of a better and sane remote she'll implementation. This is a real milestone, keep up the great work.

As for Cygwin sshd, it does work if posix is the order of the day but if you need a reliable terminal (for things like powershell) that scales to hundreds of servers and many admins Cygwin simply fails the test. Clunky domain authentication, private key auth is a joke, powershell only works sometimes (thanks PTY), network tokens are non-existent, etc. the list goes on and on.


And we wonder why we don't have more women, girls and queer folk in technology. Just plain offensive.

- edit To be clear, the ridiculous names people are using are offensive. Game was fun until the children showed up.


Not sure I agree with your characterisation of women as grave and prudish. Surely human beings of all creeds can see the funny side of being absorbed by a giant circle labeled "COCK".

Or maybe it's just me.


I think it's fucking hilarious and that people should not try their hardest to be offended at every chance.


I'm not offended but I'd like to show it to my child.


There is a settings option to choose no names. That should allow you to spare your child the vulgarities of words, He or She will still have to deal with being eaten however.


This


If it makes you feel any better, mine was 'FREE HUGS!'.


I'm guessing it's various adults that are preventing it from being child-friendly. Fun game though.


Everyone is having fun, and someone with victim-mentality tries to spoil it. Typical. Grow up Harriet.


and what makes you think adults don't do the same lol.


Did Tumblr leak on HN?
