You can already do that in a few ways like with docker or the run command. It’s been there from the beginning. YAML is just the config.

Hi! Jason, CTO @ GitHub, here

You’re getting at the heart of Actions. Actions was never intended to be “CI” or any such vertical capability. It has always intended to be a platform that exposes capabilities like CI or packages etc out to the world, but the underlying serverless very flexible workflow platform is the bedrock upon which we want to build the future

My long held view that the only real ‘competitor’ to what I want github to be was AWS/major cloud infra companies and if you believe in that view along with me, you likely see what the why the past four years of github and the next few years of github make a lot of sense

And it even makes more sense when you squint just a bit and realize what codespaces + repos + actions (CI/security/packages + other things) + automated workflows would eventually do. Now imagine a bit further out into the future and what it would mean if we understood your production workloads a bit more

This is awesome!

@danfox, sent you an email though commenting here too.

I'm the CTO @ GitHub. Would love to talk to you about this and other things we are building in this area at GitHub.

Feel free to email direct to jason at github.com

I don't typically comment on things like this, though in this case I very, very much want to.

My son is autistic. He's 8. We had him tested when he was 5. He also has ADHD. If ever anyone cares about working with non-NT folks and those on the spectrum it's me. We moved to where we live specifically so we could get early intervention for him.

My five year old daughter might be on the spectrum, we are having her tested. She does have expressive/receptive language disorder.

Our youngest daughter, now 2, seems NT so far.

For the record on the original material. There's a chance the person was non-NT, as you suggest. However, that same percentage chance exists for at least three, maybe four, of his co-workers as well, the ones that were effected by this person.

I'm not dismissing your original statement. I do think it is harder for non-NT folks, even in tech. It's why my style is the way it is. If anything, I'm likely overly sympathetic to the non-NT folks given my situation.

I've written two other things that I often reference when talking about these topics that might be interesting. I hope you can appreciate my side knowing more about my personal situation and how that influenced and shaped my current views.

Care to give elevator pitch for drywall? I checked it out and looks interesting, but wanted to see where you were going with it.

Awesome :)

Easiest way to start is file a bug. There are a few ways to do that, but in this case one of the following two are great.

1. $ ubuntu-bug network-manager

This will gather information about your card and any crashes related to networking etc, send it to LP (Launchpad) and star the bug filing process.

Or

2. Go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+b... where you can see if any bugs match what is happening to you. You can then say 'yes, this also effects me' by clicking near the top of the bug. If you don't see a bug that is right for you, you can file a new bug via 'report a bug' on the right hand side near the top of the screen.

Both ways will require an LP account (sorry!), but it just takes seconds to create.

If you just do one of those two (and give me the bug number), we can start taking a look. Obviously we'd love for people who have the time to test potential fixes, though we know this just isn't a realistic possibility in most cases. If, however, you do have the time and are so inclined, that is a great way to also help us figure out what is wrong and how to fix it.

Either way, having a Bug # is great and where we should start. Also, if you have a bug # and are still posting in those forums, having people 'me too' the bug raises awareness of the issue for us in Launchpad, meaning, the more people the bug effects, the hotter the bug and the higher it will be on our (or in this case, my) priority list. In this case, though, if you have a bug #, I'll add it to my list directly ;)

Do you have a bug number?

Can you detail the other issues you are having? I am interested in where Ubuntu causes you more sys admin problems and not less. Our goal is to make the easiest to use, best looking system possible.

Want to work on Ubuntu? Canonical is hiring.

General careers page : http://www.canonical.com/about-canonical/careers

Specific to my team, I'm looking for someone to keep up with X.org, Mir and the various graphics related packages: https://ch.tbe.taleo.net/CH03/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?or...

EDIT: I should note, nearly all positions are remote including the one on my team.

I'm the Ubuntu Desktop manager, also known as the guy generally responsible for making sure Ubuntu works and works well. I wish I could address each and every issue listed here individually, but I can't. Suffice it to say, if you are having any issues, file a bug on Launchpad for Ubuntu, Unity or any other package and we'll make sure the right person is looking at the issue.

Some links to remember:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu https://launchpad.net/unity and https://launchpad.net/unity-2d

On each page there is a 'report a bug' link on the upper right.

Or, if you experience a crash, you can report the bug at the command line by typing 'ubuntu-bug' and a series of prompts will walk you through the data collection.

Wow! Thanks for writing this up.

I'll cherry pick for now and talk about more in a general follow-up later in the day.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by 'place tracker', but if you check out some of the things coming in Unity, I think you'll like them. In Unity, Dash and Places are going to allow people to search, find and launch applications much easier.

An article from the OMG! folks w/ to give you an idea.... http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/quick-tip-enable-full-scr...

Awesome list.

My personal #1 pet peeve for 10.10 was the resize problem.

There are some updates for that including a new gripper as well as increasing to 3px invisible border for resizing. Not to mention that Unity also sports some snap functionality.

This OMG! article was from two months ago, but you can get an idea for some of the resizing behavior. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/01/a-smattering-of-natty-upd...

The Skype menu is likely a bug w/ Skype detecting which system you are using. If you goto Skype->Options->General it might say 'Desktop settings' and that could get confused detecting what you are using. You can force it to use GTK+ and your issue should disappear.

I'll address the rest of the list in my general follow up to this thread around the EOD. Cheers!

Yes, configuration in general is an area we want to tackle in much greater depth. For the 11.04 release we are looking to integrate Gnome Control Panel into the power menu...we are testing during the alpha/beta period right now!

See this link from the OMG!Ubuntu! folks (who are generally very good at covering latest and greatest features of Ubuntu...even during the devel period).

There is a tradition in Ubuntu community that Mark Shuttleworth will nickname the upcoming release. Remember that Ubuntu releases come out every 6 months and the numbers are YEAR.MONTH of the release.

Ubuntu 10.04 was Lucid Lynx , released in April 2010 Ubuntu 10.10 was Maverick Meerkat , released in October 2010 Ubuntu 11.04 is Natty Narwhal, will be released April, 2011 Ubuntu 11.10 will be Oneiric Ocelot, will be released October, 2011

We tend to refer to the releases by number (the 10.10 release) or nickname (the Lucid release, the Natty release). Helps distinguish between various versions.

See Mark's blog post: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/646

As it happens, I am looking for a core OOo/Libre Office developer. I am the Ubuntu Desktop Manager and I have a position open for someone looking to work on OOo/Libre. If you know someone who fits the bill, pass my info along to them!

Wow... that can't be good.

That is a crazy statement! I can understand not liking Java (same boat here), but the JVM and Java are two completely distinct things!

Languages like JRuby and Clojure, which are fantastic languages, have near zero to do with Java. In fact, you can do most everything you want to do and NEVER touch java code. You can, however, access the Java libraries if you so choose (hence the power of working within the JVM).

Not liking Java should never be thought of as not liking the JVM.

Neither sound great for your proposed project. If you are stuck on that type of project, look at something like Griffon instead.

Otherwise, if you are more interested in expanding your mind and thinking differently, Clojure for sure. Scala is nice and a great Java replacement language, but it is quite a bit like Java and looks like Java and can be programmed like Java.

Clojure is different. Clojure is lisp but if it was written today instead of 50 years ago. Clojure is as close to pure CS as we have today on a modern platform.

I encourage every developer to learn a Lisp at somepoint, but today there is no excuse not to as Clojure works on the JVM so easily. Clojure will change your way of thinking and get you exposed to functional programming (FP) and that is a great thing!

I currently live in PHX, AZ but will be moving to Auckland, NZ in the next year. Part of the reason is bootstrapping, but there are others as well: lifestyle, getting a better balance in life, living in a safer, nicer, cleaner part of the world that is very western and modern. Beaches ;) (there are quite a few others as well).

I've done TONS of research on this and for me and my family, NZ makes the most sense. When we get there we'll look around at the various cities and towns, but we'll start in Auckland. The great thing about NZ is English, 4 hr time zone diff to west coast of US (+ 1 day, but really a 4 hour diff) and a great lifestyle balance. Plus, who wouldn't want to go to the place voted to be the most peaceful nation on earth!!
