Have you updated to Sonoma or Ventura? Is it MacBookPro11,5?

I'm asking as I would like to try, but I'm confused by wording in GH issue saying that this specific model is kind of lost

Well, happy users since around 2015 (?).

There is a catch though - we use it only as a code review platform. It always seemed to be focused on that part more than in any other. I'm not saying everything else is bad, it just a gut feeling that code review always got the maximum attention.

And another catch is that it seems they lost their momentum even in this area. I recall times when we waited for weekly status update to see if there is something we'd have as excuse for an upgrade. Now it's even not a weekly update and speed of development seems to be slow.

on Golang REPL there is no error message displayed which makes it even more puzzling, thanks for hint with logging in!

when all of those changes will be in stable? will it be 1.44 or more likely 1.45?

more likely that's compared to an earlier LTS version (8.x or 6.x)
Re:Hire people who aren’t proven on Thursday September 27, 2018 @01:44PM (#18086879)
> Cares about what though?

I guess that's the question which most commenters actually missed :-)

If I had to define things I'd say that the former is actually "care" and the latter is a bit closer to "passion".

Re:Hire people who aren’t proven on Thursday September 27, 2018 @01:39PM (#18086818)
What you are referring to sounds more like "passion" than "care" and those are 2 different things which express in different personal traits.

Passion is nice, but as author above I'd prefer to have a person who cares about what they're doing over just a passionate person.

Unfortunately to find a "caring" person is even harder than to find a passionate person.

Re:Supercharging the Git Commit Graph on Friday June 29, 2018 @12:21AM (#17422398)
Off topic: considering you've left BitKeeper and you were one of the most active developers in user forum, what's the status of BitKeeper? Is it still developed* or it's in maintenance mode for existing commercial clients?

* yes, it's open source, but being open source and "you can add any feature yourself" doesn't imply there is a momentum behind and a kind of "directed" force to move it forward

Or Apple not decided yet how to proceed and is buying some time.

One of the major selling points of that utility coin was that it'll be automatically available for 200M active users of Telegram. Frictionless entry point into coins is a huge step forward.

> The lock file stops future upgrades; once it is written, your build stays on serde 1.0.27 even when 1.0.28 is released.

That means that the only difference is that `vgo` doesn't require lock file for reproducible builds, now the question is what's considered so terrible wrong/dangerous with having a lock file?

Re:Docker is a dangerous gamble on Monday May 14, 2018 @03:00AM (#17063360)
I'd say that post actually makes a bit different point: while Docker might be good for developers, it's failing on production "side" of things. And that has a completely different set of requirements than CI servers with multiple versions on SQL engines.

What for you might need it on iOS? Server is meant to run on a development machine.

Re:Apple's investment into Clangd and refactoring tooling on Thursday April 19, 2018 @07:19AM (#16874893)
I hope that it also means there will be Apple-provided LSP server for Swift soon.
afaik atm it doesn't allow to send a plain text email (but it can display them), the only "output" format supported is HTML.
As I remember IMAP allows to add freeform flags to every message.

Re:Help the Moldovan company RITLabs to survive on Thursday December 31, 2015 @01:01AM (#10816441)
Looks like those messages are copied from mailing lists (TBBETA and/or TBUDL). Considering The Bat! was the most popular product[1] and its users were email addicted those mailing lists are the best way to reach their users directly.

I've seen publications in local[2] "press" about the case although it focuses only on corruption and there is no mention of internal company's politics there.

[1] at time I worked there it was the only source of revenue, not sure if any other product take off since

[2] yep, I'm in Moldova

Re:Backblaze's B2 Cloud Storage is now in open beta on Thursday December 17, 2015 @03:32PM (#10754303)
So the issue for me was solved once I started to use bucket name instead of bucket id.

The latter was mentioned in online docs here: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/docs/quick_command_line.html but seems it's REALLY outdated.

Re:Backblaze's B2 Cloud Storage is now in open beta on Thursday December 17, 2015 @11:35AM (#10752447)

Re:Backblaze's B2 Cloud Storage is now in open beta on Thursday December 17, 2015 @12:41AM (#10749797)
Yeah, had to do it too, but it's actually fixed, seems both of us are victims of outdated docs as support responded with a link to a neeer version on Github which has this issue solved.
