i'm not sure why it's Uber's fault. in the uk, Uber drivers are all registered taxi drivers, because of regulations. it's not Uber's fault that the indian market is not as strictly regulated, and that one of their drivers did this.

Not that i'm saying it's ok, it's not. but uber seems to be catching a lot of flak for things they haven't done. sure they probably could have done more to prevent it, but so could the government.

companies always tend to the minimum required by law, it's cheaper that way

and the amount of rape happening in india is crazy, the government needs to do something about that, something more than blaming uber. what's the point in the state if it can't even protect it's people?

at $work we're using redmine, it's not great, but it works and does 99% of everything we need.

for personal projects, i use trac, because it's easy to setup and works, although again it's not great. especially so if there's a team of people using it instead of 1.

my personal favourite would be bugzilla, although it's a pita to set up, and doesn't have repo integration (or didn't last time i looked) which is a shame.

i've also used basecamp before, was not a fan.

the thing to remember is, all project management stuff sucks, so find something that does most of what you want and work around the bits it doesn't do

i'm not sure what this is, it's not that clear. it seems to be an advert for a guest house that's tailored to people building startups? here's a hint, if you're building a start up you want to be successful, moving somewhere to go surfing isn't probably the best thing to do

and it doesn't seem that cheap either tbh. not forgetting remoteness is a massive problem, i worked somewhere remote, it was awful. they had surfing. i moved back to the city after 6 months, i've never been happier.

that said, i hope it works for you, i wish i could live at the beach in a warm country

do not care.

i've lost interest in systemd stuff now. use it. don't use it. whatever

nice, i had one the other day where convert would take 5 seconds to resize a jpeg. i downgraded it and it was fine. i probably should have filed a bug, but i had work to do, and had already wasted enough time waiting for images to resize!

depends on what you want to do. catalyst has a proven history of big teams working on big projects and not getting in each others way. as well as one man teams working on small projects.

it's mature, well supported and powerful. there's a bit of a learning curve when you first start, but that's the way with everything. although it might be made worse by it's opinionated approach to the way you have to lay your project out, but not long into it you'll be thankful for that, as it helps keep everything clean and clear

mojo is more flexible about how the project is layed out, has async and websockets and stuff, but i've not used it, so i don't know the ins and outs so i can't comment

that said, you should try them both, see which one suites your needs best.

it is, but every now and then a software update will break something, or something will conflict. it's fine, but i find overall stability is a little bit of an issue, which i didn't use to mind, but these days i do. even simple things like making sure my machines are on the same versions of things, or expecting to install something and it just work™

love it.

i just recently switched to fedora. i was on debian, then i went to arch because debian is too outdated, and i wanted systemd. but i don't enjoy the flakeyness of arch these days, i did when i was younger, but now there's more than just me using my computer, and when i do use it, i want to use it for work, not fiddling with stuff.

so when i was looking for a new distro, systemd was a requirement, there's no way i'm going back to sysv init, thought i'd give fedora a try, and so far i'm really liking it, everything works, and is upto date enough for my needs

anyway, systemd ftw. if you're against it and you've not used it, then that's stupid. if you're against it and have used it, fair enough, i can't fault that. i hate gnome, you can hate systemd. although the comparison isn't fair, as interaction with the init process if fairly low, but interaction with the de is high

I hope you're right because I just ordered one based off what you said :)

the + operator, is it concatting strings, or adding? who knows.

the scoping sucks, e.g.

  (function() {
    var x = 1;
    console.log( x );
    if ( x ) {
      var y = 2;
    }
  
    console.log( y );
  })()
why is y defined? its being called out of the block it was declared in?

there's no proper foreach using other files is an effort and requires hacks to get them loaded. callbacks everywhere. variable names as object keys is a pain regex is a pita

i just don't like it, i have no idea why it's become so popular recently, i can understand it runs in the browser and everyone has a browser, but why server side stuff?

but whatever, each to their own i guess

everytime i use mysql i die a little inside. that said, the amount of work to switch over to postgres isn't worth it.

not that there's a lot of work, more a lack of team experience that makes it currently not a smart move.
