I'm surprised how little attention Bitbucket-related stories get here. We use it at my work, and it seems to do the job, but I rarely hear about it in the dev community compared to GitHub.

Is GitHub just that much more dominant, or am I missing something?

I noticed because both of my current customers are using Bitbucket and a git push got slow and eventually returned an HTML page.

When I asked my customers why they are using Bitbucket instead of GitHub both of them told me because of that period of time (probably in the mid 10s) when Bitbucket allowed few developers and infinite private projects and GitHub did the opposite: infinite developers and limited private projects. They have more projects than developers so migrated to Bitbucket and are still there. One of them uses other tools from Atlassian.

That's exactly why we used it, mid 2010s startup. Unfortunately too much inertia to migrate since.

It was free under 5 developers, private repos. github required a subscription to make your repos private.

Agreed. It isn't as widely used as GitHub, but still feel it is used widely enough that more coverage would make sense.

We use it at work, but I get the impression it is not very widely used. The only project I can think of off the top of my head that uses it is Lucee.

I, personally, feel like it's a terrible name for a VCS hosting service, because traditionally the "bitbucket" is a trash can where we dump garbage data...

It means they're going full remote. From the article linked in the comments:

> The company is also going fully remote, Dohmke wrote, telling staff they’re “seeing very low utilization rates” in their offices. “We are not vacating offices immediately, but will move to close all of our offices as their leases end or as we are operationally able to do so,” Dohmke wrote.

Probably you're already familiar with it, but if not, you'll love this:

Did you guys see this thread on Twitter a couple of days ago? https://twitter.com/TedOnPrivacy/status/940588631709896704

Have you had similar problems selling bitcoin?

EDIT: saw -> see

I've always wondered this. Even if you have $10k USD worth of BTC, you still need to find someone to buy it? What if you wanted to cash out $100k or $500k? At that point you need legal contracts, escrows, 3rd party verification, etc..

Yes, I used breadwallet to sell some bitcoins, accidentally set the transaction fee at (what I'd later find out to be) ~10 satoshis/byte.

Now I have ~$2300 locked up in the mempool, and no end in sight for these high transaction fees. Can't figure out a way to raise the fee.

It should expire in 3-4 days. You can also try importing the keys to another compatible wallet and redo the transaction with higher fee.

Thanks! Currently trying to find a wallet that will let me double spend. Any recommendations?

Actually I don't think any wallet will let you do that. How ever, you can install breadwallet on another phone/device (don't mess with your existing one) and restore with your backup seed (12 or 24 words one). Electrum is another good wallet for desktop that supports all kinds of seed words where you can again import your seed words and re-spend them. The newly installed wallets will let you spend it again because it has no way of knowing that you already spent it.

Good luck.

I agree. I developed a Pinterest-like app around the same year they launched. I even had a perfect domain name for it. Being a perfectionist, I never shipped. I was worried about things like scaling to support tens of thousands of photos, a "similar images" feature, etc. A few years after abandoning the project I discovered Pinterest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

sad, but made me laugh

Working on a planner app focused in mindfulness for the modern-day worker and how to slow down, simplify and de-stress.

Totally agree about the RSpec book, what a nightmare going through the examples, seems to me like they're trying to convince you that RSpec is good for you, but...I'm already reading the book, so just cut the crap and teach me how to write good tests based on realistic scenarios.
