git lfs push should work to push files new to the repo, but I'm not sure it works to push files that exists in the repo but are new to the server (because it is a new remote)

to us, things like git lfs encourage us to ensure there is an open source package that supports it, to keep the d in dvcs, so we'll add support to our community edition too
Have you reported them to MC?
Ah cool you actually had the link.
It doesn't need to do that, though. It's an interesting set of visual limitations, but the size limit is an arbitrary pain in the ass if your program gets too big. Nobody's hosting is going to break at 256kb.
After we add support for git lfs we plan to add web ui locking for files, this will allow you to lock files when browsing them and prevent others from uploading them

It for sure will allow you to host it on premises. We'll open source our LFS server so people can use it for other purposes.
It seems that LFS is winning over Annex here, we might drop Annex in 9.x, but nothing is certain.
I think this is great news to right a wrong but a recent Slate article has me worried that it won't be enough:
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/crime/2015/0...

The basic argument is that the explosion in prison population is driven mostly by changing attitudes/behavior of the prosecuting DA's in the past few decades. They have simply chosen to go after felony charges more frequently than in the past. This is problematic because they are elected and there is no federal-level fix that can be applied.
Is that really inherent to the data, or a case of useful merge plug-ins just not having been written yet for the proprietary file formats of big closed source apps?

Source code doesn't ~really merge all that well either; there's just been a big community of software developers collaboratively fixing up their tools for collaboration.

Of course we have it easy cause the tools we're using are ~made of the same stuff we work with daily. No amount of photoshop filter experience will enable you to write a program that intelligently merges two photoshop files.
Might be plagiarized, but the pictures from the mashable article add to the story. People should still check it out after reading the original but they should really source this issue :/

Particularly the last photo, a man drawing out computer workflow with a bible open in front of him. Quite a juxtaposition to think about!

"The lord is my shepherd,

I shall not want;

he makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me...."
> I don't know what the issue with is with criticizing.

No issue, abstractly. But it seems to me that in this case, Apple is providing opportunities that many people are choosing them for themselves, opportunities that they would otherwise not have. And for the crime of not providing even better opportunities, Apple is being characterized as exploitative. That seems unreasonable and unfair.

> I'd like to read interviews of people who worked there to see if the job was what they were expecting, worse, or better.

I would too. From what I know, it's complicated, and contrary to what a lot of people would expect. For example, there really has been massive discontent at Foxconn, etc. -- because they weren't given as much overtime as promised.

Do I wish that people had better opportunities? So, so dearly. This is probably the deepest emotion/feeling I have in my life, the sense of how fortunate I have been compared to how difficult the lives of others have been, when many of them are just as smart, just as hardworking and resourceful as I am, but were simply born in circumstances that did not grant them as much opportunity as I have enjoyed. This is a big part of why I am in China and why I study Mandarin.

But saying Tim Cook earns "too much", or that factory workers are "exploited" because they make choices that we wouldn't, were we to be magically swapped into their bodies, but with our abilities, or some other imaginary situation that has never existed, is not very understanding of the situation, or fair or productive.

The key, I think, is to realize that if you were the "exploited" workers, you would make the same choices. Really. If you were them, you would do the same thing. Then I think it's more clear that Apple is providing avenues toward better lives, which I see as a very good thing.
We plan to add locking to the GitLab web ui at some point. At least this will prevent two people from locking the same file.

> 1. Searching for literal text. Is there a way to avoid having to manually escape special characters?

Put "set nomagic" in your .vimrc. This makes e.g. "." match a literal period/full-stop rather than any character. To get the special behaviour, escape the character: e.g., in nomagic mode, "\." matches any single character.

If you only want this behaviour occasionally, putting "\M" at the start of your search will invoke it for that search only: e.g. "/\Mfull.stops.only" will match "full.stops.only" but not "full-stops:only".

Even in nomagic mode, a few characters are treated specially, e.g. "$" for end of line. To suppress even these, start your search "\V": e.g., "/\V$1000". N.B., you can't make this behaviour permanent in your .vimrc: you can only invoke it search by search.

If you want the full gory details for all of the above, try ":help pattern" in Vim.
It's a good step in the right direction.

> We can also combine expressions to build multidimensional arrays, and that Array.concat will concatenate (flatten) an array of arrays even though the documentation states and provides and example that it only concatenates a sequence of arrays.

Uhm what is he trying to say here? Arrays are sequences (they implement IEnumerable<T>), it is implied that you can use an array of arrays when it says you can use a sequence of arrays. You can also use a list of arrays. Or any other sort of sequence of arrays.

> We see that it indeed does take a sequence of arrays, may be an array of arrays is coerced via Array.toSeq before the concat operation happens.

That's exactly the opposite of what happens in the code. The concatArrays function takes an array of arrays. If the concat function is given a sequence that isn't an array then it converts that sequence to an array of arrays using Array.toSeq. Also "coerced" is the wrong term, it's just converted.

Another thing:

> Then we call the C# class method Array.Copy.

The author seems to be conflating C# with .NET.
REMOTE, HTML, CSS, UI/UX design

Hello,

We are rethinking blogging on the web (http://followme.co). Our service makes it simple to start a personal site, create posts, search and discover content.

In today’s web everyone still rolls their own site and then try to be discovered via SEO. We make this easier with our service and network of sites.

We believe eventually such a bottom-up approach will democratize journalism and enable everyone to publish news without being tied to an organization.

Company is in incubation mode, launched by a founder with previous startup success, years of experience, well defined plan and vision.

Team and Environment:

We work remotely, using online tools. Our main office is in Mountain View. We work flexible times, and encourage you to set up the best working environment for yourself.

We are a small, tightly knit team who truly cares about this product. We are looking for someone who will be just as excited. You have your own space, your time, lots of flexibility. We value your opinions and your contributions will make direct impact on our product.

We are looking for one web designer with:

* Exceptional HTML, CSS skills.

* Understanding of User Interface design.

* Understanding of fonts, columns, design proportions, use of blank space, value simplicity.

She/he should be able to advise us on the looks of the desktop and mobile user interfaces. Be able to take design mockups, reproduce them into working HTML / CSS. Make it responsive across different size web clients.

Hands-on, who can commit changes in git and edit Javascript UI templates to reflect designed HTML, fix UI bugs.

back in 2006ish I used bluetooth proximity of my Mac running 10.4 and a Sony Ericsson cellphone to auto-lock my machine. It'd kick in around 10 metres away, which was about the size of my team's area. Quite handy, but the feature was removed.
Thank you for this. Then I will stop repeating this gluten myth.
I originally commented and was perhaps too harsh, so I deleted it shortly after submission.

This really shouldn't be considered a prank. He might have deserved it, I have no idea. I wasn't there. But that's playing with someone's personal life.

My wife takes this drug daily to offset the drowsy side effects of Lyrica. Both ar ecovered by insurance, but when we pick them up every month, the non-insurance "cash" price is about $1,700 per month. This is for a drug that is 40+ years old, and not even under patent in the USA. Insane.
As stated by others, GA's focus is 12-week intensive full time "career-changer" courses. The company I work for recently took in 4 graduates from Makers Academy (similar to GA WDI) and after a 3 month trial we've decided to keep 3 of them on as Junior Full Stack devs.

I'm incredibly impressed at the standard that comes out of Makers Academy in particular, and think they are trained to be better suited for work than a 3 year Comp-Psi bachelors in the most part.
Personally I like the homepage. It gives a quick link to the finder itself while still being a welcome page to explain why you should consider using the site

I don't think it is possible to use recursion for this. At least not reliably, as its quite likely you will hit a cached record. Which means the file would not have been transferred completely to your authoritative server... (using some kind of counter could help though)
> so why not just eliminate corporate taxes and raise capital gains and dividend taxes

This doesn't make sense.

Tax corporations for their income/profit and then zero dividend taxes (since this money paid tax in the form of corporate taxes).

Capital gains is another issue entirely, while it applies to buying/selling stock it also applies to a lot of other things, so most likely it can't/won't be eliminated.

How PM Narendra Modi's Townhall at Facebook HQ Was a Completely Pre-Staged Drama
I have a profound distaste for brutalism. To me, it is the antithesis of what architecture should be about: the design, and invention of timeless places where humans can blossom, and prosper.

I insist on the notion of timelessness. The Louvre for example, is almost 400 years old and yet; there are few monuments in the world that can rival with its beauty.

Here is the power of the classicism, and even the baroque movements: creating masterpieces that are not only useful for the people living in them but also inspire and please their eyes. They survive time.
Which would get immediately lost when a less savvy PNG optimizer or whatever touches the file...
I've always been fascinated by this sort of architecture, but never knew its name. Now I can look up all about it!

Thanks!!

Your intelligent merge tool has access to the file history. If one user modifies a layer, and the other one squashes them down, in the merge you probably want to apply the changes in that order, even if it's out-of-order chronologically. If the file format has a full edit history baked in, great; even more info for the intelligent merge. Maybe the in-file history can even be kept in sync with the repository level history.

In the current ecosystem you probably need locking for your sanity, but some day software will suck less.

If you go out of the western developed world, you'll find out that tax rates don't effectively exist in much of the developing world. Officially or unofficially. For example saudi arabia and dubai have %0 income tax for example. Not great places to live permanently for other reasons, but they exist. I don't think they will let go of their %0 income tax rates any time soon either.

Panama and the HK only tax Panama and HK source income. They are far nicer places to live. This tax nature is unlikely to change any time soon.

Switzerland has no capital gains tax on share sales. The UK has a horrible tax law called non-domiciled resident that has created the housing affordability apocalypse of london. The wealthy can just pay a flat tax of 30k pounds per year after 7 years of the status. Those 7 years before they do not pay tax on their world wide foreign income.

All of the mentioned nations above are not small micro-states that can be easily bullied, and have too many power players in their country that benefit from the status quo to allow those changes to happen. The only reason why they will change is from higher power players who would benefit from their taxation.

Certainly. But I think then one has to factor in issues of cost and complexity. Technological tools can take care of "low-hanging" fruit, but can't be so strict as to prevent flexibility when needed.

I like this story in that it's a bit of coworkers policing themselves a bit. We have a similar situation in my workplace, where smartcard authentication is used. We're all taught to pull our cards when we get up from our desks, and this is followed pretty well. The odd email has gone out under someone else's name (usually with accompanying embarrassing text) but more often than not, we'll simply pull that person's card, hold onto it, and then enjoy the few minutes of panic as they try to determine if they lost it or not. Both the customer and the security officer are none too pleased when cards go missing, so it serves as a good reminder.

Long story short, watch and remind one another frequently of good security practices, and encourage others to as well. You may think you're being a jerk at first, but as more catch on and not only adhere, but help encourage those rules, it'll be less uncool to call them out and more uncool to deviate from them.
It was during a presentation on the NDC developer conference a few years back, when the feature was new to C#. I remember thinking it was one of the best presentations that year, but right now I don't remember what year it was, and I can't find any past agendas to search either.

NDC posts their videos online after each conference, and I did a quick skim. I think it may be this session here, but I haven't double-checked:

Edit: It was a 2-part session and it may also have been in second half. Link here:

One of the things these intensives provide that is absolutely killer for a student is the amount of effort and support put into getting you placed after. They really have to fight the doubters in the quality of the course - Getting great numbers of grads in employment immediately after the course is probably a key target for them.

You will get more help getting a job as a grad of these courses than I certainly did on my 4 year degree.

Are you familiar with Primecast? A third party reversed how Amazon authenticated its movies and for a day, you could actually cast the movies that your Prime subscription allowed, including rentals. It was no different than if you authenticated on the website. Amazon quickly scrambled to shut that app down and still hasn't answered with their own method for Chromecast. It isn't even a technical issue, it is a control issue.

Now I don't know the licensing terms they have with the content providers, but they certainly aren't fulfilling the consumer demand.
Long term psychoanalytic therapy helps major depression if other treatments fail
Realy? there's more red tape and regulation post big bang before that it was the old boys club and chaps sorted out issues in private over drinks at their club.
Impossible (for me) to get actual title into 80 chars.

"Pragmatic randomized controlled trial of long-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy for treatment-resistant depression: the Tavistock Adult Depression Study (TADS)"

This study is a thing because:

1) There isn't much for major depression if meds and CBT don't work. Electro convulsive therapy is sometimes considered, but that's obviously controversial and has a number of side effects.

2) Psychoanalytic therapy is controversial. This study shows it works for some forms of depression in some people.

3) It's a large well run study.

EDIT: Personally I think this is tricky for providers. This therapy (long term, provided by experienced practitioners in specialist settings) is expensive. Less expensive than cycling through MH in-patient stays; far better than death by suicide.

Also, it's interesting to see the recent work on sub-therapeutic doses of ketamine (5 mg per kg) given as infusion for anhedonia.
Looks like fun! We're building something quite similar to this, but compatible with / inspired by existing 8-bit computers / consoles (Apple II, C64, etc...) Good to see some validation for the space though =)
Well ill give you Alderly edge as long as you don't mind having footballers as neighbors.
But for a day you could use Primecast. Amazon deliberately disabled that, so there isn't a technical reason they couldn't have resolved it.
Google registrar sold Google.com – what actually happened
Because the only thing Go did was bake CSP into the language, it is nice, but not a solution for every concurrency problem.

While async/await allows for an abstraction over the lower level tasks, that are still exposed, in case one needs more control over the threading runtime.

For example, in JS's case you can still dig into the Promise world if needed.

Similarly in C#, Tasks / Dataflow and SignalR can also be used.

Whereas in Go, correct me if I am wrong, outside CSP one needs to reach out to threads/mutex/semaphore directly.
I was going to say much the same. As I have gotten older (46yo currently), I've come to realize that my thoughts are generally the same as when I was a teenager. It was a rather enlightening moment when I discovered it was true for a great many people that I would consider old.

Sure, I know more things, but forgotten others. I like to think the former outnumber the latter. Perhaps I'm wiser. Perhaps not.

But, for the most part, I still have the same thoughts as before, be they wonder, delight, dirty, sad. Hopefully I will express the correct ones at the proper times, but probably won't.

I found it fascinating when I realized that most others are in the same boat. The guy standing next to me at the bank might be 73 but he is obviously enthralled with the pretty teller behind the window, and I'm sure that if I told him a dirty joke, or even one that disparages someone's race, gender, or religion, we would both laugh because we are too old to care about political correctness, and besides, we are thinking like the teenagers we feel we are, anyway.

And we'll laugh without guilt because we understand that a joke can be funny and still not lower our respect of those that resemble the characters in our jokes, and I hope others are telling equally funny jokes with characters bearing a striking resemblance to myself.

> Allowing "non-payment of claims" to become profit is a huge moral hazard

Totally, it's EPIC, EPIC, EPIC, moral hazard. The hazardiest of hazards. It's toxic; all of the mistrust and information asymmetry flows out it.

If insurers weren't constantly nudging prices there'd be no need to switch car insurer so often (45% of the UK motor market churns per year) and the price comparison sites probably wouldn't need to have existed.

If people could trust insurers to handle claims fairly then we wouldn't need to spend as much money managing complaints and government oversight.
You certainly make a good point. There aren't really any real constraints that make the size so small.

At the same time, I feel the size limit is intended to have the same spirit as the audiovisual ones. Or, if one really wanted the PICO-8's features, but with more space, she could easily recreate the same functionality with another game framework pretty quickly. Perhaps it's almost like a tribute to stuff seen in the C64 demoscene.
In my opinion, you should have been fired. You well and truly are a piece of shit.
Agreed. But in the other hand, this also gives a false image of the startup world, to the people unfamiliar with it, where the vast majority of this kind of startup fail.
