Guthib
guthib.comDoesn't have quite the style of http://pythong.org [NSFW]
(Didn't think to mark it until people commented, and technically there's no nudity, but if you are looking at it and someone passes your desk they'll THINK there is nudity, and if you are actually at work I think that passes the bar.)
If for work your machine has installed Hubstaff or any of these hyper-invasive things that micromanagers love, then you can have the bad luck that a bad taste spicy pic get screenshot and shown in your user activity. But nobody ever should by any reason ever use these zero-privacy apps, right?
SFW. But this (probably) won't get me promoted!
This reminds me of like 15 years ago when python.com was a porn site. Now it’s just a redirect to some sort of cam splash page.
Better than the old lemonparty.com link (now a porn site, I think). We used to send that to scammers.
It was pretty gross. Not quite as bad as goat.se.
[nsfw]
No it's not.
EDIT: It is not NSFW. If you think this is NSFW, then I don't think you should be spending any time on the internet. The internet is not safe for you.
They said "nsfw", not "not safe for me" or "this is porn". They're making a comment about workplace conditions, not their own viewpoints.
You aren't badass for "being cool" with this imagery.
the image is boring and dumb. but a place where this is considered not safe is not a place where would want to work.
Ok, and?
The person I'm replying to said "If you think this is NSFW, then I don't think you should be spending any time on the internet. The internet is not safe for you."
Good for you, but your values are not universal and not everyone has the same opportunity to choose their workplace as easily as you apparently do.
this is not about different values but about oppression.
if a colleague were to share this image at work, i would tell them to stop wasting my time with this dumb stuff. if it was a member of a team i am leading i would tell them to stop goofing around and get back to work.
if on the other hand, someone would denounce this person for sharing inappropriate images, i would consider that an act of oppression. we are supposed to work together, and not against each other.
a work culture where every little transgression has severe consequences is not healthy.
if this image makes someone uncomfortable, they are welcome to talk to me and i will listen to learn why. i suspect most likely, it's not the image itself that's the problem, but the attitude of those who laugh at it. i will then talk to those people and do my best to get them to improve their attitude about such matters.
there are things that are inappropriate to do at work, and one of them is to make dumb jokes like this, but that doesn't make the image itself not safe for work.
and as for choosing my workplace, i come from a country where employees actually have rights. and one of those rights is to share their personal opinions, even if others disagree, as long as doing so is not disruptive. the idea that the leaders in the company can tell their employees what they are allowed to talk about or not is rather alien to me.
this doesn't mean that it's ok to say or share things that are hurtful. it only means that there is no topic that is a priori not allowed to be discussed at the work place.
if this image comes up because someone in my team actually did mistype their url, they may share it with the team, and if they have the appropriate attitude, they will dismiss it, denounce the maker of that website as juvenile and move on. if someone walks by, having no idea why this image is there on the screen, they may inquire about it, or come to me and ask me what that is supposed to be about. we'll check, find out and move on.
calling this image not safe for work, creates an environment of fear, that itself is not healthy and in the country where i come from, not acceptable.
I usually take "NSFW" to mean, Thing you might be embarrassed for other people whom you may not know well to see you looking at without context, not necessarily that it's going to result in severe consequences or trauma. I'm sure there are companies where an image like this would warrant an overreaction, and I agree with you on the absurdity of that, but I think the less hyperbolic meaning above is more common.
that's a fair point. i just take issue with diluting the meaning of a term by using it for things that are just mildly inappropriate vs things that are actually harmful or hurtful. it all just contributes to an environment of fear. i prefer that these terms be reserved for things that actually warrant a strong reaction.
It really depends on the degree to which your co-workers and clients lack a sense of humor.
For example, in the early 00's I was working for a company that built a lot of CMS sites. One of the test images my co-worker used was Yoda driving a go-kart. A customer got offended, so we were instructed to use really boring images that just had the word "test" on them.
I once got in trouble for using Bacon Ipsum as placeholder terms and conditions, since the client's project manager was vegan. I wish I was joking.
https://baconipsum.com/?paras=5&type=all-meat&start-with-lor...
This one I can kind of understand. Moreso than the Yoda one.
There’s a good chance at least one piece of copy will be missed when replacing the placeholder text, and for a vegan company, that can easily cause outrage for their customers since it’s just full of meat products. There are a lot of reasons for people being vegan and some hold incredibly strong beliefs on meat products.
To be clear, it wasn't a vegan company or even anything related to food -- it was a shipping company. There just happened to be someone who worked there who was an outspoken vegan.
Some people are waiting to be offended. I used Mighty Boosh as a test image a couple of years back and was told off for it.
This offended me by refusing to show anything without js! (I'm not serious, just in case that wasn't clear)
I am serious about that!
What about Yoda driving a go-kart is even remotely offensive?!
A client being offended at something like that is a bit of a red flag for me...
Since their story happened 20 years ago its probably not related, but Reddit banned r/LegoYoda because of the captions on some photos of Yoda driving a 2003 Honda Civic.
Perhaps the client is an ‘American Jedi’.
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/american-jedi-documentary_n_5...
"It's completely unprofessional." is about what their reaction was.
One time I built a product demo-ing a physician directory, I used pictures of Dr. Strange, Mr. T as Dr. T, Zoidberg–it was comedy gold.
Boss made me use boring stock photos instead :(
No it's not nsfw? Now I'm really confused, can I very paste this into slack #random or not?
Generally, it's considered best practice to not post "vaguely penis" content to official work communications channels.
Advice of the day!
Kant or Heidegger probably wrote something similar.
It's just that gif of David Hasselhoff in a speedo where it keeps zooming in on his crotch and it's just more David Hasselhoffs in speedos forever. An image that I assume anyone who's even heard of the Internet has already seen a hundred times. I wouldn't call it NSFW, personally.
[EDIT] I mean, contextually, if you're being weird about it or posting that kind of thing all the time, yeah, it could become NSFW. But I don't think sharing this particular thing maybe with a "warning: low-quality gif of Hasselhoff in speedo" in case anyone cares, is over the line.
NSFW had become an euphemism for p-o-r-n(w/exposed parts) and in that sense it’s not NSFW because. In literal sense it is. And that discrepancy is somewhat confusing.
I could at my job. My company is 80% women. They'd find it hilarious.
EDIT: Actually, just checked. They did find it hilarious.
Women aren't the arbiter of what is sfw or nsfw.
I'm curious why you jumped to "women" here, when they aren't relevant to the conversation. Do you think women need to be protected from unsafe imagery at work, or "nsfw" is designed to protect women?
Pretty sure that your interpretation of their intent behind bringing up "women" says more about you then it does about them....
An alternative interpretation would be "many women find phallic humor to be funny".
As the HN comment guidelines suggest:
> Assume good faith.
GP isn’t necessarily assuming bad faith. Suggesting that women are any more or less likely to be offended by something is Considered Harmful because it enforces gender binaries and stereotypes.
Most people don’t have malicious intent. The biggest reason that the tech industry is so infamously misogynistic is because people don’t actually know much about the issues of gender, and don’t really know what is misogyny.
Let me make this a little clearer and more to the point: suggesting that a company of 80% women would appreciate a mild dick joke in the context of whether or not the joke is safe for work is enforcing a gender binary that both separates women from men (by suggesting that there’s different senses of humor between them) and erases non-binary people. If you can think about it this way I’m pretty sure you can see why it’s also misogynistic even if you’re being “positive” towards women, as well as problematic in general, without GP needing any malicious intent whatsoever. And it could be avoided just as easily by being educated and aware.
This isn’t some sort of “snowflake” shit, either. We just live in a society that perpetuates these harmful gender stereotypes even during water cooler chit-chat, and the only way to change it is to point it out.
Please also assume good faith.
Edit: I don’t like the tone that I wrote this comment in, and so I want to make myself clear that I’m not trying to attack anybody either. My point is really that comments can be harmful without being written with malicious intent, and pointing it out when possible is important if anybody wants to see that aspect of society change.
> Pretty sure that your interpretation of their intent behind bringing up "women" says more about you then it does about them....
Ah yes, the classic "You're sexist for pointing out sexism" argument.
> An alternative interpretation would be "many women find phallic humor to be funny".
An interpretation which has nothing to do with the comments at hand, which is determining if some content is SFW or not.
> As the HN comment guidelines suggest: > Assume good faith.
Yes, that means assume good faith when there is uncertainty. I don't see much uncertainty in the post in question, they are fairly explicit about their point.
You mean their boss.
python with only c-string

Funny, but posting a NSFW site without a warning on a message board frequented by people at work is not okay.
If that’s NSFW you need to stay off the internet.
What's weird to me is that this seems like a totally implausible accidental misspelling, which just shows how differently people type, I guess.
I can see that 'i' and 'u' are adjacent on the keyboard, but if you touch-type, they belong to different fingers, and I can't see how I'd transpose them while getting all the other letters right. If my right hand were shifted over by a key, I might get 'gutguv' or 'gotjim', I guess.
I think the misspelling is more likely for someone who’s not super capable with English and doesn’t have familiarity with Git. Even for people who usually operate in (natural) languages that use the Latin alphabet (or something close to it, like the Greek or Cyrillic alphabets), without recognizing the cue word “hub,” “guthib.com” is as meaningful and memorable as “github.com.”
I'm sure dsylexia gets the best of many capable people when banging out URLs.
I suspect that there's also a rather large overlap in the Venn Diagram of "people who use Github regularly" and "people who are sufficiently mentally toasted as to regularly make implausible errors".
There are a lot of causes for misspelled words. Most of them are not of mechanical nature.
It happens more often than one might think. I know I've typed "guthib" at least a few times in the last decade or so that I've been using github, and coincidentally I just caught myself mistyping "decade" as "dedace". I pressed all the right keys, but in the wrong order.
I guess that packets from the brain sometimes suffer from a kind of race condition as they arrive at the fingers.
Maybe it's related to fact that we're surprisingly good at reading words with teh lettres shffuled aorund. Perhaps my brain is trying to type a word at a time, instead of individual letters, so the packets go out in parallel. Perhaps the last point has something to do with the fact that my native language is Korean, where a word is written as a compact two-dimensional arrangement of symbols rather than a simple sequence of symbols. I dunno, it just happens a lot.
>if you touch-type, they belong to different fingers
Not all touch-typers use or ever even learned the formal touch-type method.
And also, not all touch-typers use QWERTY ;)
I used almost never to make any sort of error whatsoever when typing, that I didn't immediately catch and fix.
IDK if it's age-related decline (I'm not even quite 40 yet...) or what but now I make all those homophone and bizarre-letter-substitution errors that I never, ever used to, constantly. I have to re-read everything I type or I'll have a stupid error like that every few hundred words.
I recently found that I had typed 'hexadecimal' as 'hexademical' multiple times (only caught it via a spell checker).
To my understanding, letter transpositions are common even for great touch typists. Especially letters in the same "category" (such as shifting vowels around in this instance). Sure, it's a different "feel" when typing it wrong and if you are paying attention you might catch it, but you generally when touch typing don't think about the specific feel of individual letters, but the pattern or "shape" of the overall word. "gut" is a common enough word pattern (and an English word in its own right). "hib" is not, but if your brain/muscle memory is expecting the full "word" "github" and knows it uses both fingers "in the middle of the shapes" and it already used "u" it can be a likely transposition to wind up with "hib".
Doesn't seem that implausible given that we can read words just by reading the first letter and last letter, even if the letters in the middle are in the wrong order. We take words as lump-sum abstract objects instead of focusing on each of the letter.
> this seems like a totally implausible accidental misspelling
Yeah, I remember seeing this website as "a typo of github", but wasn't able to rediscover it.
Anecdotally, I've typed gihtub many times, but never guthib. Related: enabling a spell checker in my editor was a very humbling experience.
This reminds me of https://gail.com/ which, according to the owner get an average 16k hit per day from people mistyping gmail.com
Wow, that's interesting. I would have thought it would be fun to own a popular mis-typed domain, but apparently not.
>> As for why there is very little content here, we wanted to keep the server's attack surface as small as possible to keep it safe.
Gail is being very nice; according to that she could have 1.2 million misaddressed emails per week if she was not nice (which could potentially open her to legal liability, but still).
I see gamil.com emails all the time in the company database.
It used to be more verbose:

I always thought someone should make a github for cooking recipes and call it guthub
Unfortunately Microsoft already owns guthub.com and redirects it to github.com, ruining a perfectly good idea.
True, but guthub.ca is (or now was) available. @plg, do you mind if I steal the idea? Actually love the idea of open source recipes with pull requests, branches, etc. and I’ve been looking for an idea for my next side project…
be my guest :)
GitHub already owns that GutHub.com iirc
Or a gun site called Gathub.com.
When you said that, my first thought was - that would be for open source gun designs.
Of course it’s actually already a real thing: http://www.gathub.com/?p=28
HA I didn't even look but should have known it would exist!
There is also a farthub.com
A number of years ago I had a great boss who was trying to target hire someone so he made a ridiculous job req asking for expertise in “git’s, gat’s, gots.” It was a defense job
I don't understand why people upvote this garbage. Do they find it funny? Or interesting?
> The most dangerous thing for the frontpage is stuff that's too easy to upvote. If someone proves a new theorem, it takes some work by the reader to decide whether or not to upvote it. An amusing cartoon takes less. A rant with a rallying cry as the title takes zero, because people vote it up without even reading it.
Paul Graham, What I've Learned from Hacker News[1]
Worth noting... he says this to contrast his surprise at how well the system works in the paragraph immediately prior:
> I once thought I'd have to weight votes to keep crap off the frontpage, but I haven't had to yet. I wouldn't have predicted the frontpage would hold up so well, and I'm not sure why it has. Perhaps only the more thoughtful users care enough to submit and upvote links, so the marginal cost of one random new user approaches zero. Or perhaps the frontpage protects itself, by advertising what type of submission is expected.
He just explained why facebook and instagram feeds are just an endless stream of cat videos and scantily clad girls.
For me, at least, It's just nice to see a perfectly useful, quirky "thing" on the internet that isn't monetized or having some ulterior motives.
Hearkens back to that feeling of all of us being internet citizens and laughing that I'm not the only one that makes this mistake.
Maybe I'm looking into it too much, though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm normally in favour of lighthearted stuff (to a degree), but in this case I agree with you. It seems a bit too low effort to warrant the high number of upvotes...
It's a Single Serving Site[0]. Not every URL needs to be a big diatribe of text.

Yes

Good domain, terrible execution.
A copy of the GH home page but every image replaced with Strong Sad... now that's got potential. Or any number of other better uses of the domain name.
Calm down. There are plenty of other, more serious links for you to click on this site. No need to be a buzzkill.
It's the abstract art of posts
Yes.

I think this is the perfect place to host development of `sl`
I prefer `sl-h`
Ah yes, security concerns that pose O(N!) complexity monetary considerations, this is what I need to think about right now.
The actual reason these common misspelling domains are acquired is to make it harder to perform scams.
Reminds me of the time I first used the internet.
People were always telling me to use Google if I needed some information.
But I didn't speak English very well and always assumed it was goggle. Took me months to find the mistake.
I just assumed I'm too dumb for the internet and used Lycos or something.
fancy doing this when they could have simply forced the fat-fingered user into an endless cycle of http redirects, popup adverts, crypto-mining banner ads and finally a "this domain is for sale" parking page..
Looking at the page source it's very plain and simple.
No million tracking/analytics lines.
I respect that.
I suppose after typing `git push/pull/commit/whatever` about a million times, the git part at least is deeply ingrained in muscle memory by now
On point. Though if someone struggles with repeating themselves, I can recommend oh-my-zsh git aliases. They replace common git commands with shorter equivalents, like git push -> gp, git pull -> gl, etc
> You spelled it wrong.
It’s not so clear-cut: https://github.com/GutHib
Apparently I spelled this one right. Or close enough.. xD
A worthy successor to http://isgrudengoneyet.com/
I wish there was a list of these novelty web addresses.
Blank.org is someone's actual (very old) website https://www.blank.org/blankmore.html
Now get gtihub.com
Vroom vroom
gethub.com
https://shithub.us/ - the fragrant git host.
I was expecting some alternative to GitHub
I realized that I never misspelled it this way.
Why not redirect the user to GitHub.com?
I misspell it as Githug far more often…
ever done a "gut pull"?
It should just redirect.
They should redirect to meatspin
