Google and Facebook keeps most loud noise on internet happy by giving them free stuff. Actual quote from a comment here: "Google gives their software for free, I don't see any reason to oppose them". So don't be disappointed if people don't hear you out. Nice article, thank you and good luck

Actually I was going to add gitlab's name here too, but then I figured that'd go off topic. I think gitlab, because of its free CI, is actually even better than bitbucket.

Who else thinks bitbucket is better than github? And that even if its not, we should host a copy of repos on bitbucket too, because competition is good?

EDIT: (For git non-pro's like me)

How does one create a copy? After creating an empty repo on the web interface:

git remote add bitbucket <url of the repo>

How does one keep it updated?

git push bitbucket <branchname>

---------------------------------

Or if you'd like to always keep the bitbucket repo in sync every time you do a git push origin (preferred method):

`git remote set-url --add --push origin <url of the repo>`

Windows + Linux is still ~80% of the developer share according to Stackoverflow surveys, so this might not be the best direction to spend effort

Ask HN: API Design, id's or objects?

I'm curious, what do you guys prefer in your methods/functions/members, object or the object's id, specially in context of statically typed languages (C#/Java/Scala)Pros of object itself: 1) More typesafe calls. 2) Get once from persistence, no need to get againCons: Most of the time no need for the actual object, just id would do, so having it costs extra to get from persistence.A mixture of...

Well if you've gone through each then you're the best person to write a review! :-)

Tangential question- how does one manage these utils on multiple machines? I use dotfiles for regular dot files.
