The single best thing about GitLab is the usage concept. The whole thing screams "Hey, use me, it will work correctly, look nicely and there will be a bonus feature!"
We were using Redmine+gitolite for issues&code review&hosting before, and the programmers didn't really like to touch it very much because there was a plenty of form-filling for every issue/milestone, git integration was somehow weird, etc. I was surprised how migration to GitLab improved the way they document&fix stuff and help each other with their work.
To be honest, the updates aren't such a big deal. I was running and upgrading it through versions 2.x to 5.1 (or whatever is recent), and all updates went like:
- git fetch - git checkout version-x.y - copypaste upgrade script commands from the web - service gitlab restart
there has not been a single error in the upgrade process, ever.
Don't frown upon this please. It is usually better to first show that any resistance is futile, before politely asking not to put such weird and unusuable features into production machines.
1- energy efficient (which is necessary with low-surface solar-powered stuff) aircrafts are way too slow, much slower than jets. Customers basically don't like spending time sitting in airplane. 2- more people onboard add weight (there should be at least 3 crew people for a commercial flight, plus at least one passenger, sums to twice the largest amount of people I've ever seen on solar-powered plane) 3- more energy needs more surface, which adds both weight and drag.
I hope someone here will be able to apply some kinetics/aerodynamics equations that show those thoughts more accurately.
I always had to think whether it actually doesn't sound like a "Mi-go" (from Whisperer in the darkness), and had absolutely no other explanation for the 'MeeGo' word.
Somewhere I read that there's little chance to find any good source of water on a planet (or other rock-ball type) without a magnetic field, because that is the only thing that prevents massive hydrogen/water molecules loss from upper parts of the atmosphere caused by solar winds. Therefore, Earth has water, other planets have only uninteresting amounts of it.
Maybe there are (ice) deposits from the time the planets (moon) had the magnetic field? Can anyone clarify?
...and will be for quite some time, because we don't have any more convenient platform to do actual work.
I mean, did anyone try to do programming, system administration and/or serious graphics or writing on iPad and alikes?
And it's not about screen size, it's basically ONLY about having input devices that don't make your wrists rot away if you use them more than 2 hours daily.
PS. do you count traditional notebooks (15" and bigger screens) as desktop computers? (I do.)
The technology used for streaming neflix&co. is brutally ineffective, instead of some reasonable multicast solution they just throw terabytes to ISPs networks and somehow expect everyone to prepare to handle that. It costs several hundred times more money to prepare infrastructure for this, than to build the streaming datacenter.
I run an ISP and I seriously don't care to invest only for this single reason, that TV-content providers can make money. Data caps are so far the most reasonable solution to show those people what the rest of the network thinks of them.
At least until they show up with some reasonable&effective new tech.
Seriously, what's the problem? Just because ever-growing bloated software megapackages like KDE and GNOME aren't as successful as they were meant to, even on a platform that is meant not to favor such big packages, the linux on desktop is failing? Come on.

Programmers love GitLab.

If in doubt, add one more complexity layer.
...someone has been using Internets as a backup machine? :)
Moreover, I'm kindof expecting something like "Eric Schmidt buys SpaceX and travels to Mars" in following weeks.
...Mosaddeq, the Destroyer of Chickens!
The term "secure" here is used in a bit misleading manner, there's nothing that could possibly be absolutely "secure" in this world, ever.
We should always ask only what amount of security the environment provides. In terms of money.
...can anyone fix the ugly square crop of that blue haze below the saturn?
i'd be a totally cool&costly wallpaper then :)

Just first thoughts:
1- energy efficient (which is necessary with low-surface solar-powered stuff) aircrafts are way too slow, much slower than jets. Customers basically don't like spending time sitting in airplane.
2- more people onboard add weight (there should be at least 3 crew people for a commercial flight, plus at least one passenger, sums to twice the largest amount of people I've ever seen on solar-powered plane)

well, even before carriers and developers they should begin thinking about attracting actual users.
....does include cyber-Kate Beckinsale, doesn't it?

Not an utility.

At last! Reptilians, your days are numbered!
Where is your god particle now?!
You can still have iPad, keyboard and a SSH app.
I got linux on desktop.
It works perfectly.
Seriously, what's the problem? Just because ever-growing bloated software megapackages like KDE and GNOME aren't as successful as they were meant to, even on a platform that is meant not to favor such big packages, the linux on desktop is failing? Come on.
I was still kindof worried when the presentation started to compare the concept to a frisbee.
I guess someone's already building prettier iRocket. With more RAM and way more intuitive interface for space inhabitants.
It's a delight to see them doing&winning the cool stuff again.
...walking in circles all day.
it was optional.
