- Days since last GitHub incident
Is it any better ?
We had that last year, with the full premium stuff ("pay as much as we can" mindset)
Please see this: a basic feature, much needed by lots of people (those who are stuck on azure ..): https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/360592
Please read the entire thread with a particular attention to the timeline
- Debian 13, Postgres, and the US/* time zones
I ran into a similar bug in Git Lab where the v18 upgrade didn’t replace now-unsupported time zones so things like scheduled pipelines simply stopped running and were labeled inactive in the UI without explanation.
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/556779#note_26...
The fix is simply to change them to the non-backwards linked names but it caused some confusing API errors since data which would no longer pass validation was already in the database and didn’t look wrong.
- GitHub is no longer independent at Microsoft after CEO resignation
I am not trying to start trouble, or a heated debate, but I did want to say that my experience was the same as OPs and I am also coming from a static typing background so that likely explains my having a similar experience and expectations. I did for sure use RubyMine for attempting a change, so not "vim and yolo" but rather world class tooling and trying to discern where any random symbol came from was oppressively hard
That's not even getting into attempting to use their "happy path" <https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/v18.2.1-ee/.gitp...> -> https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-development-kit#local which I found just incredibly challenging getting it to use my copies of the repos. But, just like in every one of these conversations, it's been a number of years since I tried it so maybe it's much better now

- Microsoft Dependency Has Risks
GitHub is also from them and brings the very same risks. The solution would be to build viable open source alternative but decentralized. GitLab Federation [1] or Forgejo (Codeberg) Federation [2] might be the answer.

> The more typical way of doing this would be to call piece of the code but without the elaborate setup you argue you'd need.
But how do you call the code if you don't know where it's called from?
Let's have a concrete example. In this `initialize` method how do I know what the arguments are meant to be?
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitla...
There's no type annotation so the main ways to know are documentation (haha) and seeing what it is called with in existing code. But how do you find where that method is called?
(Note this isn't the best example because I would imagine the `initialize` isn't magically generated, but it is still difficult to search for so it's almost as bad as the magic identifiers.)
- GitHub issues is almost the best notebook in the world
The missing feature is federation! In my view, centralized structures like a giant source repository such as github are something we as a developer community need to avoid. Unfortunately, features like federated merge requests in gitlab ( https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/14116 ) are something we've been waiting for for 9 years and nothing seems to be happening there. This feature alone would enable a lot of new collaboration without forcing everyone to work on a centralized system to use git - a decentralized versioning system - with high efficiency.
- The Pain That Is GitHub Actions
- Docker limits unauthenticated pulls to 10/HR/IP from Docker Hub, from March 1
In case someone from Gitlab is watching: there is a long-standing issue that Gitlab Dependency Proxy does not work with containerd rewriting (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/350485), making it impossible to use as a generic Docker Hub mirror.
