Australia has a lot of violence as well - it's simply not gun violence. I believe your conclusion is incorrect.

Yes - makes me think of the assassination of Shinzo Abe.

The gunman made his own gun, in a country with ultra-strict gun laws. The Unabomber made his own bombs. The Seattle mall Islamist knife attacker refused to stay down after being shot multiple times.

My takeaway: political terrorists are particularly motivated. Secondly, gun laws slow them down but don't stop them.

IMO the toughest hurdle is problem specification. Here are two levels of toughness:

1. Advent of Code. Extremely well spec'd problems that require solid intelligence on many levels to solve.

2. Typical tasks on the job. These are spec'd abysmally compared to AoC.

> When I write bad code I know because I run it, test it, and if needed, fix it.

This puts you ahead of 80% of coders in 2022. That's who's going to have trouble: the people churning out software that sucks and the companies that enable them. These companies have gotten by until now because most other companies' software sucks too.

They don't know there's a war going on.

Anyone have a link to the actual appeal and sign-up? (These lame news reports don't link to their original sources.)

Ah hah - true. Thanks!

But they're not. They created a new, feature-reduced repo type to make free/private. The marketing hides this, and you need to dig to the "Comparison" section to see it:

GitLab's free private repos have the same feature set as their public ones. Not so with GitHub's, and this blog post hides that fact.

Maybe not so smart when devs realize that the free private "repos" have features removed that have been standard. The marketing avoids this fact. You need to scroll down to the "Comparison" section to see it. https://github.com/pricing#feature-comparison

You got it. Only the detailed pricing compared has what might be the full list of features removed. You have to scroll down ... https://github.com/pricing#feature-comparison

And look for the "Public repositories" note in the table.

But beware and read the pricing sheet --- GitHub created a dumbed-down repo type for these new free private repos.

Is there a difference in the features between GitLab's free public vs. private repos? On GitHub, there is, but the blog post glosses over that.

I think I'm the only person who's noticed that these free private repos are 2nd tier, with features removed; the marketing glosses over that.

How about hierarchical data? E.g., a country's laws / statutes? Thousands of text files organized in a hierachy. I've resorted to relational denormalizing and hacks to get decent performance. So I'm wondering if a graph database would be a better fit.

E.g., I frequently need to query, "What is the list of ancestors from the object to the top of the tree?"

In a relational system, this needs to be stored in some kind of data structure, which is redundant. But theoretically in a graph database, it'd be a fast O(log n) query if I'm not mistaken.
