At the beginning of the pandemic, Italy was the butt of the joke until everyone else got into the fun.

This doesn't seem like all that great of a solution to me. The strict requirement to have a passing build is replaced with the fear that you'll be the one that broke the build. So you'll end up running these tests before you merge anyways, right? What has changed?

anuila · 5 years ago

I think the difference is that they expect to not break tests most of the time. So most of the time this just saves time.

It’s like when you merge a documentation PR while the tests are still running: You’re pretty sure that the tests won’t break. With this solution however you’ll still be pinged if they do break, later.

The underlying technology of git is great, but the UX is terrible. The commands are all named wrong. "To create a branch, use git branch, but that doesn't check it out. If you want to create it and check it out at the same time use "git checkout -b", not "git branch --checkout" which would be 1000x more logical (and then there could be an option to make that the default behaviour)

Resisting GUI's is not a good idea. The trick to learning is to always have `gitk --all` or a similar viewer open in another window.

Also instead of `git add` / `git commmit`, use `git gui`, but for most other things stick to the CLI.

Having said that use a GUI, github desktop is terrible. It tries to make things easier and as a result takes you away from git's standard terminology, so it's impossible to understand what it does.

Something I found teaching other people is it helps a lot if you haven't learnt SVN before.

I disagree on GitHub Desktop.

The whole point of the UI is so that your workflow is simplified without having to understand the exact inner workings of it all.

GHDesktop’s simplicity means that most of time I don’t have to call 4 commands to just check out a new repository or PR because one click runs all those 4 commands and more.

As simple as it is, lately I rarely have to use the CLI (which however I still use because I rebase and fixup)

The fact that “takes you away from the terminology” sounds like people complaining that Windows 95 users don’t know what MKDIR means: That’s the whole point of UIs.

Performance per watt of this thing is INSANE, take a look at the battery left after compiling WebKit, compared to older Mac:

IMO the all day battery will be THE killer feature of the new laptops.

This metric is hilarious and perfect.

sorry for asking so bluntly, how did you discover HN ? I'm amazed by the diversity of this population

anuila · 5 years ago

Technically it’s a family business that I grew up into and I ended up being a developer because at 14 I made the restaurant’s website with Macromedia Fireworks and Dreamweaver.

CivBase · 5 years ago

GitHub is still hosting the full youtube-dl version history, including versions which include those supposedly infringing tests. Does copyright law end with HEAD on master? Those tests are still there.

This makes it especially obvious that the RIAA's problem with youtube-dl was never really the tests.

anuila · 5 years ago

I don't think the story ends here.

If the tests are the issue, they can just send another DMCA specific to those pages.

Either way, I think in the US anyone who has the most time and money wins, so… good luck with SLAPP.

anuila commented on Show HN: I created a URL shortener that can be entirely hosted on GitHub Pages github.com/nelsontky/gh-p... · Posted by u/nelsontky

anuila · 5 years ago

Bad for so many reasons (including abuse of GitHub issues, spam, and the ability to change the URL the short link points to)

If you want your own private shortener, I have a better idea:

Use GitHub Pages and create a `/1/index.html` (where 1 is the short link name) and add a “refresh” meta tag in it. Completely static and no build/JS necessary.

This could be opened up to others by combining it with issues and GitHub Actions, but who wants that?

Another better idea for a private URL shortener is hardcoding a list of URLs in a CloudFlare Worker. Much faster and with real 301 redirects.

> Is there anyone shipping an ARM motherboard and ARM chip? I think the "openness" is also defined by what the market offers. All I see are non-extendable notebooks.

The closest analogue to what you described in the ARM world would be plugging either a Computer-on-Module or System-on-Chip into a carrier board. Today's ARM deployments are presently largely focused on energy efficiency, so they make heavier use of integration than typical x86 deployments.

e.g. https://www.toradex.com/computer-on-modules/apalis-arm-famil...https://www.toradex.com/support/partner-network/hardware https://www.toradex.com/products/carrier-board

> Also until you can run non-linux "desktop software" on one, it will always feel like a "tablet"

There are millions of linux users around the world that would challenge your assertion that desktop linux doesn't qualify as anything beyond a tablet. In any event, Windows already runs on ARM and some rapscallions have already got it up and running on a Raspberry Pi despite Microsoft's present prohibition on doing so. I'm sure Microsoft will free up the licensing in due time as market demand presents itself (if only to allow interoperability with M1 Mac VMs).

That’s the issue. Linux runs everywhere and is not a consumer product, that’s why I exclude it.

Until you can build your own general-purpose PC and can decide to make it ARM, it will not be considered an equivalent option, it will just be another tablet, “chromebook” or “board for hackers”

I spent some time in Sicily and one of the things I discovered was I could not get pizza for lunch,only dinner. I thought it was just one restaurant being obstinate but town after it was the same response.

And to this American who enjoyed a slice between classes I could not understand why. I concluded it was too hot and no one wanted to turn up the pizza oven. Is that correct assumption?

anuila · 5 years ago

Restaurant owner in Italy here: We usually don’t offer pizza at lunchtime because it takes time and wood to fire up the oven and keep it at temperature. Low request volume means it’s not worth it, at least for small pizza places.

If you want pizza for lunch you head to a bakery or “bar” and they have squares (not “slices”) ready for you to pick up.
