No, they detect issue symbol in branch name or commit title and add "Closes #123" at the end of merge request description.

GitLab team on other hand is unyielding, they love adding their "Closes #" in MRs and don't care about people that ask to get rid of it.

Nice. I had no idea that nearby paper mill includes 200MW of power generation.

SF required application form, where you had to explain why you are worthy to have your git repo hosted by SF. By the time they processed it I already forgot I even applied. I think that was actual reason for them being destroyed by GitHub, that had simple, fully automated signup.

I think that is misinformation caused by circular logic. DDR prices stopped risking, simply because supply reached equilibrium vs demand and willingness of customers to overpay. The Micron stock price also had minor correction. Suddenly internet is full of articles how it is all caused by TurboQuant release or OpenAI giving up on its huge wafer orders.

Looks very similar like attempts to explain random crypto price changes with any (un)related news.

If it is the AITA subreddit (or one of many similar ones) it might not be that bad. It is after all dedicated to outrage farming, so there will be many human responses. It is just the original posts that are all baits, and it doesn't really matter if they are made by LLMs or as a creative writing exercise.

Why would you compare Eclipse GlassFish instead to Payara or Wildfly/JBoss? Anyway, that bickering between JEE application server vendors is what caused Spring to win. It doesn't matter it has update churn that is almost as bad as in JS ecosystem, just the fact you don't have to think about AS helped adoption. Well that and significantly easier testing. And Spring Data with generating queries from method names. And you can't recruit people with JEE knowledge anyway, they all know only Spring.

https://www.gdprsummary.com/gdpr-definitions/sub-processor/ in context of GDPR/DORA it is about formalized agreements with 3rd parties that will handle data, your own and of your clients.

That whole feature is kind of paragraph 22. No legit/popular site uses it so users don't expect national characters in domain names, so no one actually hosts sites using "xn-" domains.

> To make error is human. To propagate error to all server in automatic way is #devops

I am not sure how AI agent variation of that joke would look like. Every now and then some blog posts lands on HN asking "Where are all new apps created thanks to LLM productivity boost"?. I am more surprised there are no news about some serious fuck-ups that can be traced back to LLM usage in code.

I love the whole "Thank you for adding free game to your account. Do you know you can download our launcher to actually play them?" message.

> The insurer’s phone must be making fascinating noises.

Doesn't all insurance policies exclude acts of war, and after 9/11 also acts of terrorism?

> Exceptions for Control Flow

This one is so prevalent that JVM has an optimization where it gives up on filling stack for exception, if it was thrown over and over in exact same place.

I will bite. How do I set up recurring crypto payments/donations for my site? How big cut will be taken by intermediary?

That is crazier than any old dailywtf stories, and that site felt like everyone tried to one-up each other.
