Same unexpected worlds colliding for me while drinking coffee from a Lost Art Press mug this morning and seeing this article's author on HN.

The mug is as close as I get to woodworking on most days, unfortunately.

We had the same problem. Our VM's are now back up. Log in to accounts is still spotty.

Are you saying Cliff's claims are too...

one-sided?

I'm a trustee on the board of a very small village in Illinois. There was a vote to allow the gaming before I got on the board, and only one vote since then to approve a new license for an establishment. I argued the income-vs-sleaze ratio was lousy, but was out-voted. I wish I'd had this article and its facts to back up my more emotional reasoning for not liking it.

Video gambling is indeed a blight, even if it is profitable, but this article only makes it more depressing to see just how worthless (or actively punitive) it is to all but the companies that apparently wrote the original legislation.

That's what I thought too - I mean this is interesting, but dang -- BT was the bee's knees.

I think you're missing the point, but maybe I'm missing yours.

Perhaps I could use some mentorship from you. =)

Without context, working for free requires careful thought. But in the context of this conversation "free" means without monetary compensation, but you're still receiving the benefit of the mentorship (and thus not free).

TLDR; No one's advocating working for free. The Warren Buffett approach is "trade money for time with a good mentor."

Ah - cool. That makes sense!

I don't see Gitlab explicitly listed as a supported service, but wonder if that would be supported or require google or gitlab to make the integration happen. (This is on a GL EE instance we manage).

And what about public-facing web apps developed in-house? Can we add SAML integrations that would work with this for employee access?

These are probably basic questions, but I couldn't seem to find the details on the site.

I think you meant "redacted" vs "retracted". But yeah, there are a lot of stories out there of people assuming a black bar over black text is high security.

Will second the #2 recommendation above - I have a fair amount of sidewalk in front of my house and the front of my office that I bought the snow pushers for. They're fast and move a lot of snow with minimal heavy breathing. 4 years and zero heart attacks. =)

Whatever mechanism makes it likely you'll keep posting is the right one. Thanks a bunch for highlighting some thoughtful approaches to basic design decisions that often get overlooked. The effort is appreciated.
