Might as well Ansiblize it :P

Run your own Gitlab instance, it isn't very hard to do. The point is to use Git in a decentralized manner, not circle around one closed platform or another. The main Gitlab instance being under such heavy load is not too great either, more needless centralization...

Yeah, my i5 feels a touch sluggish, and I know it won't get better as I dip into Clojure!

Huh, might end up going for a higher end chip, but I could definitely use that bump in performance! Already got an SSD, optimized kernel and a few other tweaks to get the most out of this chip, but it only goes so far.

Huh, a $100 quadcore ain't half bad, perhaps I should buy one. Looks like it'd be faster than this first gen Core i5 I'm using. Could probably keep the upgrade sub-$250 for RAM/CPU/Motherboard...

Parking minimums service a minority of the population of Seattle, while adding 15% to 20% onto the average rental price. Another angle is the road network in Belltown is well beyond capacity, and is likely to only have safety and pedestrian/biker friendliness improvements done moving forward (if not a road diet or car ban), so how do you intend to service these empty spaces so they can be usable?

There isn't more land to build roads on, and tunneling for roadways is extremely expensive and prone to delays (eg. SR 99 tunnel), esp. compared to our rail tunnels which have been repeatedly completed ahead of schedule and under budget.

The terribly restrictive zoning hasn't helped, if we got rid of the height caps and parking minimums that kneecap growth, we would see many more apartments and condos being built. Why should a 1 bedroom apartment be over a grand in Ballard or Fremont?

LOL, the private schools here are anti-vaxxer havens, when you hear about kids dying of whooping cough or similar in this state, it nearly always is at a private school. Also, its a non-union gig that pays a few grand less than SPS or the other public school districts. What your paying for with private schools in the region is to be in an upper crust social circle.

The Archdiocese of the Seattle Catholic Church needs to crack down on that, as they run the majority of the private schools in the city.

You shouldn't have to, Facebook is a poor medium esp. in the context of HN as it is a pain to browse/use on purpose if you don't make an account.

Which is so silly, as closing their code & datasheets just makes it harder to work with their chips and makes users of their products less secure. And that is why you see all these Single Board Computers not using Broadcom chips, they are nearly impossible to get docs for, let alone decent drivers.

Not a very good TLD imo, .me is cheaper/not some weird unheard of string of letters.

Citation? This doesn't match my experience in Austin.

Patently false, I've been to a few camera infested shitholes like the one on 15th and Market in Ballard where they tried to pull this crap on me (and gave up), but outside of that I have yet to run into it. IMO its a huge red flag, they're the only ones that tried that out of 80 places I've toured in the past 2 months.

If the property manager tries this, its a sure sign that they are an ass. Also, the market seems to be cooling, one nicely remodled place I toured dropped to $1500 from $1700 for 950sqft 2 bed/1 bath in Queen Anne, then rented a week later. Seen a couple others do that, figure it should become more common as we get into summer.
