That's clearly the case, this is a three-pronged manoeuver :
- Introducing a cheap 1-core runner
- Lowering the price of GitHub-hosted runners
- Making it slightly more expensive to use self-hosted runners
- There is actually a fourth one: the vnet integration, which also allows you to run public runners in your own infra
As a bonus, for some people it means something that was free is now not free. Those who are willing to pay rather than go, might prefer to use GitHub-hosted if they are going to pay anyway.
This is clearly an incentive to use github-hosted, and their sales reps are also going this way.
I might be wrong but I think the guys at VLC are still very important contributors to ffmpeg, which is still a big deal.
They also (kinda recently) developed some really low latency tech for streaming called Kyber
So bottomline the player might not be used that much (although on mobile the app is very popular still) but the tech they develop for it, is
I don't understand how a diagram tool like this doesn't exist yet. I've also had this on my Christmas list for so long, where it would apply for any kind of diagrams or mindmaps
As someone who's been using it at very large scale, I still miss gitlab but I think they are not that bad.
But two major pains I did not see : the atrocious UI and the pricing.
Their pricing model goes against any good practice, as it counts a minute for any job even if it runs for 2 seconds. Let's say you run 100jobs in parallel and they all take 30sec. You will pay 100 minutes instead of 50. Now translate this to an enterprise operating at a big scale and I assure you have seen crazy differences between actual time and billable time.
