git-lfs (and similar systems) split up the storage of objects into the regular git object store (for small files) and the large file storage. This allows you to configure how you get and push large files independently of how you get and push regular objects.

A shallow clone gives you some `n` commits of history (and the objects that they point to). Using LFS allows you to have some `m` commits worth of large files.

If you want a completely distributed workflow, and have infinite local storage and infinite bandwidth, you can fetch all the large files when you do a normal `git fetch`. However, most people don't, so you can tweak this to get only parts of the local file history that you're interested in.

Indeed this is a trade off that requires some centralization, but so does your proposed solution of a shallow clone. This adds some subtlety and configurability around that.
Core Animation Scroll Layer: CAScrollLayer for iOS 9
Hi, I'm the author of the blog post and wrote SuperChief. We chose Java 8 because it's the language we're most comfortable with on the data team and find it easiest to reason about. We also reused some of the existing bolt code we wrote for Storm to run the time series aggregations. It was already written in Java so we just had to make it thread safe. I suspect you could get similar performance with other jvm based languages.

I was interested in looking at Spark for this for a bit but coming from Storm we decided we wanted something stripped down that was more purpose built.
I pay for workflowy.

Groovy's always been good from the very beginning for quick and dirty Java class manipulation, such as test scripts. It found use in Grails when they added a MOP to simulate Rails's ActiveRecord, but Grails is declining quickly -- people aren't starting new projects with it or upgrading to Grails 3.x. Gradle provides it as a configuration language but its typical use is for 30-line build scripts using the declarative DSL only, not the actual language. Gradleware no longer mentions Groovy in any of their promotional blog posts and announcements about Gradle -- it's like they're embarrassed of it -- so I suspect there's changes coming soon in that area.
> But doesn't Google have some monetization plans for the chromecast ?

Well, sure, you pay Google for the device -- that's fairly direct monetization.

And it increases the utility of (and thus the demand for) content from and subscriptions to Google's audio/video services (whose mobile apps all support Chromecast), so its monetized indirectly that way.

Other than that, its adoption drives app developer adoption and user familiarity for Google Cast, which, aside from its use in Chromecast, is a key feature of Android TV, which Google monetizes not just by selling hardware direct to consumers, but also via its cut of apps in the Play Store, and by (presumably) getting paid by Smart TV manufacturers to use Android TV as their Smart TV OS.

I just want to make clear I'm not freaking out (and I know you're not either).

I would hope though that out of this someone would think, "Hmm... oh drat... yeah I guess this is just one of those things that nobody predicted at first. Shot I think it was a bad idea to have a user own /usr/local/. But you know, it's a good time to improve things... hmm... I know let's build and stage as nobody and then copy under /usr/local/! We still can have binary packages always work and nobody has to mess with PATH, man pages, or dynamic linker trivia. We might have to write something though that asks for a username and password, but whoa... OSX makes that surprisingly easy... I should do that!"

It's not going to be me cause I don't use homebrew, but that would be way better than these hacks that will ammount to people being encouraged to just disable SIP cause of the headache after ever software update.

How can it get better: Legalize drugs and drug trafficking. It's not a perfect solution, but it would take away much of the reason for the narco-gangs existence; as well as the corruption of the government/police/military.

... is an utter and complete joke. All the "elite" talk is just a tool to appeal to your ego.

But you know that, don't you? You're astroturf, after all.
The idealists here call it a mistake, violating various capitalist principles. The clever argument against Amazon is that they are betraying that they think their product is weak, and can't stand competition.

The deeper, more pragmatic issue is that this is a browser war. The browsers are weird because they are TV dongles. Some hardware manufacturers want to give us browsers that only work for some sites.

I pay Netflix $20/mo to synchronize some of their streams into my brain, through a complicated path involving a world-wide internet, LEDs, and my eye-balls. Why does the hardware path through which those bits flow have to matter? Netflix, Prime, HBO, Comedy Central - aren't all of these just sources of those stream?

My question is whether all of this is because Prime won't support certain hardware paths, or because certain hardware won't support Prime. (Given what I know about Chromecast, I'd say it's the former).
Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own, meandering experience. I will dispense this advice on HN.
Yes, I just don't see why it couldn't have been done directly using/extending existing git protocols.

The additional command and configuration (and perhaps object storage) would be needed either way.
Odd... my sales people keep telling me IoT is going everywhere and that I need it to survive.
The V2V stuff is interesting, but from what I've seen, it is definitely a 1st gen design, especially with regards to security. Not that I know how I'd fix it.

What I'm talking about is this. Suppose I've got this nice 802.11p transceiver system in my car. My car uses it to talk to the infrastructure and other vehicles to get warnings and such. The HUD in my car can then give me a pop-up when there's an accident ahead, and all the usual stuff being talked about.

Now, for completely unrelated reasons, I wrecked my car (texting while driving, sheesh, when will I ever learn?). The car is sold to a junkyard. The 802.11p module survived the crash with no damage, though.

Evil hacker then goes to the junkyard and buys the module, and maybe the ECU as well if necessary. He can then do fun stuff like continuously broadcasting things like my car has had an accident, or has engaged emergency braking, which will cause warnings to pop up for other drivers, or with autonomous vehicles, they may act directly on that information.

Its still a valid BRAND NAME manufacturer's 802.11p unit. But without a way to revoke the "security certificate" for my specific vehicle, the rest of the network will still trust it. As far as I know, the trust is on a per-manufacturer or per-model level, and not per-device.

But of course, doing per-device drastically increases memory requirements, which will cost a lot of money, and make the system slower too.

Like I said, I don't know how I'd fix it...

To be fair, Low Energy Bluetooth has very quick connection setup, and most applications can actually get by using a connectionless advertising channel.

I've become very soured to IoT, the industry is spending more and more time making inconsequential devices communicate while ignoring the oligarchy controlling how real people communicate. Cellular providers and Facebook control almost all human communication.
Soon: "Software appear less efficient in real life than in tests. Test-driven development considered harmful."
I've used both, and I can only imagine your complaints about JIRA's UI are due to how it's been configured for your use.

The out of the box user experience is the best I've seen for a web application. A robust yet easy to use 'search' feature is at the heart of many things, like the scrum and kanban boards, as well as widgets that can be put on your own personalize dashboard. You get a nice visual designer for setting up workflows, and you can easily create new fields for issue types and have workflow depend on those fields.

I also find Stash to be well thought out and easy to use if your use-case is a pull-request workflow tied to JIRA. Sometimes it's not intuitive how to navigate around if you're just trying to view source, but that's not the selling point. If you're trying to navigate source history, use your local source control client, that's what it's built for.

How much of your decision to replace Storm stemmed from "this would be a fun technical challenge" that you economically justified by cutting server costs? It's hard to tell from the blog post whether you view SuperChief as an "indictment" of running Storm at scale, or whether you just thought building your own stream processor would be a great way to learn new things and cut server costs at the same time.

I think IoT will follow the same path as Java. Massive hype, unimpressive and clunky realisation, and eventual usefulness in niche areas.
The idea is to provide protection even in HTTP-only environments (as HTTP is enforced in some places).

It would add overhead to verify hashes in the manner that you have mentioned but I think it's worth it.
I did programming work for a US defense contractor in the distant past. Had I been staying in the industry, and were I interested in moving to a new company, my resume would have looked more or less like your example.

When I moved out of the industry, my resume focused on what I did and what I learned as part of the work whose details I can never talk about. The thing about programming on classified projects is that it's pretty much exactly like programming on unclassified projects, but with added data handling, reporting, and facility security headaches.

I can't speak for their implementation but batching is not necessary. Stream processing complex JSON documents and storing the documents to disk at rates of 500k documents/second per server is demonstrably achievable on some scale-out systems.

The internal architectures make an enormous difference in throughput. A proper high-performance stream processing engine does not look anything like the "Hadoop in RAM" style model.
>Is the file we loaded form a (possibly 3rd party) site correct?

But there are also parts important to interpreting the file that aren't part of the hash, like the mime type. I think this problem is a lot more complicated than you're saying.

I have the chromecast and the Fire stick. I love my chromecast, I impuse bought the fire stick when it first came out and was selling for really cheap.

I like the fire stick because my kids can use it (they don't have devices to control the chromecast with). I don't like basically everything else about it:

- poor app selection (everything I've ever wanted to use (except Amazon Prime) works on my Chromecast, the Fire stick is only good for Amazon/Netflix content (there's a few other things out there, but not enough to matter).
- poor playback: once it gets going, the fire stick is fine, but when it first starts streaming stuff it tends to stutter. This drives me crazy.
