It’s another great way of using your phone as a full software development platform.

Can’t bang the drum loud enough for how good Gitpod is. If you’re a Gitlab user it’s baked right into the services too: https://www.gitpod.io/

Makes jumping on multiple branches super useful right from an device as portable as a iPad or iPhone.

Re:What If Students Could Fire Their Professors? on Monday April 27, 2015 @10:27AM (#9446483)
As a student myself, in my final year of University and I do feel that there definitely needs to be more control/transparency where the tuition fees go.

The faculty that I am on is one of the lowest scoring areas of the university according to the National Student Survey. I assume this is due to the lecturers not having the knowledge or experience when compared to the students who are passionate about their field which they are currently studying for a degree in. Most have managed to get the job with little industry experience to share with students and don't have experience with a modern workflow such as using Linux, git, etc.

Personally, I would be much more happier if the lecturers have a basic salary but then allow students to give more of a percentage of their tuition fees to the departments that keep up to date with their field.

I've been following development via Twitter and noticed the news that Mozilla Brazil is using it. Going to be very interesting to see where the project goes in the next year!
Re:Virgin Media store their passwords in plain text on Monday July 29, 2013 @05:23AM (#6120055)
But that's still just as bad. It doesn't matter if one person or a thousand people reads someone else's password in plain text. It's still technically a breach in security regardless of if they work for the company or not.
