I think Gitlab kind of suffers from the Ubuntu syndrome when they were still pushing the non-LTS release as default. Many things were not tested long enough and would cause issues for many people while they were using it.
For example after one upgrade browsing the repos didn't work because apparently the Git version hat to be a specific version. I think this was neither tested nor is the Git version mentioned anywhere as a requisite.
Or with v5.3 the Git satellites would get into an unclean state sometimes and had to be cleaned out manually.
I took quite some time to find this out too.
So my suggestion: more polish and testing and less new features.
Thanks for creating Gitlab. It helped us a lot internally. We were using plain Gitosis before. Now nobody gives a hoot about that anymore :)
My only request would be to focus more on stability. We run it for 1 year now and there were many problems with upgrades and various changing issues with the different versions.
So for us less new features but a better tested Gitlab would be great. Maybe some kind of "stable" release? Not sure...

Ok, don't make me laugh.
I wonder how much they pay him for writing this stuff.
as far as I remember this is a feature, the wifi connection stack on osx is trying to connect to recent wifis first with the mac address because that is much faster than trying to get a new lease and so on
yeah, it's kinda weird that they "promote" open source using closed source SW. at least they could have issues. I think to make the github code open source would have been something they should have done years ago. now gitlab has rewritten almost the whole functionality from scratch.
if you look at what happens with gitlab, just imagine how much it would advance github itself it they would have a repo for which people could open PRs
ok, but your shouldn't make it look like rocket science. it's pretty simple for me and maybe I'm lucky, but I guess the most important thing is to tell people to experiment with their sleep. i would say most of these sleep issues have a rather simple cure and you don't need sleep apps, wrist devices, zeos etc.
no no no, i don't even need to read any of that. 6 hours sleep. perfect for me. not tired, almost always in a good mood. very simple and effective. i don't need no recipes, to know about deep sleep and all that.
you should not forget that people are very different. so don't try to impose all these rules on everyone just because it works for you.
all of this (I think) is Larry Page in action. for a long time there was no clear strategy with Schmidt. "products" would pop up everywhere with no clear relationship. now Larry is cutting the wild growth. while it hurts some people I think in general it will strengthen Google.

look, if you want to have a more effective RSS reading habit, use rss2email http://www.allthingsrss.com/rss2email/ and plug into the power of email-filtering. you don't even have to go to some "reader" to get updated.
