It's in the title: "There is no Antimemetics Division" https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54870256-there-is-no-ant...

What title?

Why would you disagree with the parent post and then fail to provide the title of the book in your own response? Just give the name of the book, please.

What book? There is no book discussed in this article

What article? This is an HN-only discussion post.

What is HN?

Where am I?

You are in:

Dark

You can hear nothing, smell nothing, taste nothing, see nothing, feel nothing, and are not even certain who you are.

Hungarian notation.

Weird HN bug: I somehow managed to get to an orphan /reply page not attached to any submission thread.

Being a principled, critical thinker sure has its costs these days. Yeah, that's right, I said it. Flag me (lol).

Am I allowed to complain about this or do I have to get my VC's approval first

Reminds me of my old "I wonder how easy it would be to measure average internal virtues with automated systems" thought trains

Reminds me of Vercel's Rauch talking about his aggressive 'any UX mistake is our fault, never the user's' model for evaluating UIX. (It is/was Guillermo who says that, right?)

This should be all of Information Technology’s take. Your computers get hacked - IT’s fault. Users complain about how hard your software is or that it breaks all the time - IT’s fault.

The fact users deal with almost everything being objectively not very good if not outright bad is a testament to people adapting to bad circumstances more than anything.

My preferred tool to solve these issues is called 'gitlab'

Does it solve anything? I don't see this as a GitHub problem, it's a "we built a dependency management system with untrusted publishers" problem.

GitLab's `include` feature has the same concern. They do offer an integrity check, but it's not any more capable than hash pinning to a commit.

Fundamentally, if you offer a way to extend your product with externally-provided components, and you can't control the external publishers, then you've left the door open to 'these issues'.

CircleCI

TravisCI

Jenkins

scripts dir

Etc

yeah, github's business model is not really a git repository but a bunch of other (admittedly useful) stuff that traps people in their ecosystem.

Looks like image was removed and maybe only a demo?

Boy i wish that principle held up in real medicine and other parts of life; "rep and skills" may in some ways equal power, but that false equivalency is how problematic behavior is excused in unfit individuals.

I also prefer to manage version management myself directly, even with llm-gen'd CICD elements, so preferring jj hasn't been nearly as costly for me specifically :D

Ah, very cool. Thanks for sharing; will try it out
