GitHub is the worst place to host your code. Except for all of the other places.

Well, GitHub seems unlikely to randomly ban your project if it fits within an entire category of services some admin arbitrarily decided they don't like.

I know which one I'll be sticking with.


This was voted on by the association members, with ~500 votes as far as I've seen. It's not the arbitrary politics of "some admin", rather the arbitrary politics of mob mentality.

codesalem.org

It routinely bans projects for downloading media.

Github might randomly ban your project if USA decides they don't like the colour of your passport.

Yeah. Looks like it's either GitHub or self-hosted from now on. At least GitHub has a Sponsors thing. Not that I'm getting much out of it.

So it seems.

My self hosted gitforge disagrees.

Do you just care to provide code, or do you want people to be able to create issues, send PRs, make forks? Open source is social, and self hosting git forges isn't the answer for many projects (especially as spam is a big problem, and has been for years, even before LLMs).

Evidence disagrees.

I wonder if bong hits ever helped him with his Makefile.

Sounds a bit like surrender here.

There's no reason to read the code anymore.

The LLMs produce it inhumanly fast.

They can usually debug and fix problems faster than Haskell can compile the project.

Meanwhile the open source communities are in basic denial about AI, so trying to change things by making compilation faster or advancing a Haskell interpreter are going to meet with fierce resistance.

Whatever. Give up. Just ship Python.

I sympathize.


Lyme disease is not the only tick disease.

There's alpha gal (red meat allergy ) and also ascending paralysis. And more.


My child almost died from a tick. Other children do die.

I would gladly kill every tick on Earth and whatever relies on eating them so no human has to lose a kid to this again.


It's possible some people thought they were there to move zines. But then there's this.

> In addition to the encrypted messaging group chats, Song, Arnold, Morris, and others met in person on July 3 at a "gear check" at Morris and Arnold's residence. There, Arnold asked Song whether they would be bringing guns to the July 4 action. Song replied that they would because he would not be going to jail. Song repeated words to this effect multiple times throughout the evening, putting everyone there on notice of his intent to shoot at police rather than be arrested.

Some of these people had to know they were entering an armed conflict. The fact that their leader went on to shoot a cop looks real bad for the rest of them tagging along.


This is the correct answer. Having your users run multiple browsers by default (instead of with whitelisted exceptions) is now multiple attack surfaces the org has to manage.


Very curious how you avoid supporting multiple browsers. Apple, Google, and Microsoft each require users on their platforms to use their native browsers for secure connections.

And if your company has any web presence or apps, you usually can't cherry pick which browsers your customers can use. That means some portion of your company will need access to other browsers for QA purposes.


At the minimum I might say you only allow Chrome to access Google Workspace/SSO, which is needed to access like 95% of company resources. This is, in fact, the topic of the OP.

You can do additional device management to lock down the rest of the machine. You can force Chrome and restrict Safari/Firefox/etc on Mac just fine. Same for Windows.


It's incredible how hard it is for firms to migrate away from platforms. Clearly you could just give something away for nearly free for 20 years and then jack the price up and make bajillions.

Even better if you can charge a mildly high license fee for 20 years first and then jack it up to something outrageous and still have customers who just can't drop you.


> Dr Newman showed that the highest rates of achieving extreme old age are predicted by high poverty, the lack of birth certificates, and fewer 90-year-olds. Poverty and pressure to commit pension fraud were shown to be excellent indicators of reaching ages 100+ in a way that is ‘the opposite of rational expectations’.

Blue Zones absolutely destroyed.


After spending years on end doing functional programming I used to stumble when looking at for loops until I got used to thinking that way again. It's funny how different the skills are.
