I use Fossil for personal, private projects. I've never used it with other people. But being able to replicate the wiki, issues etc and version them is very cool.

I use fossil to keep track of my code and use the wiki of a project as a scratchpad, design document, and general notes. I love it.

It can be self-hosted using a super-simple CGI script:

#!/usr/bin/fossil
repository: /path/to/project/repository.fossil

- which allows you to both clone over HTTP/HTTPS and access the Wiki and issue tracker via your browser. It has pretty decent access control and can allow you to configure a set of wiki pages to make read-only accessible to everyone, even when not logged in, to use as a project landing page for visitors.

You can also customize the CSS of a project, which is also versioned in the single sqlite db backing a repository.

I was pretty young at the time, but Helen Sharman was a really big deal back then, Twitter or no Twitter. I imagine most British people in their early thirties or older would remember the name with only a bit of prompting (though I concede it would be a moderately challenging "pub quiz" trivia question).
He's the 6th Brit in space, the 5th man.

Despite what you may have heard, Peake is actually the sixth Brit in space. The first was chemist Helen Sharman, who flew to the Russian Mir space station in 1991 as part of Project Juno, a jointly funded mission between a private consortium and Russia. She was followed by the British-born astronauts Michael Foale, Piers Sellers and Nicholas Patrick, who all took US citizenship and flew on NASA missions, and Richard Garriott, a video game developer who went to the ISS as a space tourist.

AI Cars are going to have a lot of cameras and always-on recording. Aggressive driving would risk being reported to law enforcement.

> Pedestrians and cyclists may also learn that they can freely cut off an AI car at anytime they please. Why wait for a walk signal? Why walk all the way to the intersection? Just saunter across anywhere you like, so long as you cross in front of an AI car.

That's probably a good thing. Car drivers need to get out of the mindset that they own the roads.
The difference is that the former means the free hardware likely goes to the production company and is not available for personal use. It's not a moral quibble, but a question of who owns the stuff and who gets to use it.

I appreciate the motivation behind this ideology, but giving up 26 years of advancement in programming languages (not to mention security and safety) for compatibility with a vanishingly small number of operating systems (few, if any, of which are in use as development machines) is not worth it for tools like these.
Serious question: Why is asking your salary any less relevant then asking for your previous place of employment? If I say I did X on project Y at Google, that's a pretty incomplete picture of how valuable my coworkers and bosses found my work on project Y. Thus, it seems like a salary is another potentially helpful data point indicating how valuable I've been to previous companies.

Obviously in a better world it would be possible to glean this information from an interview alone, but the bottom line is that interviews generally suck at informing how useful a candidate is going to be. A candidate who claims they've done valuable work is potentially exaggerating, and it's difficult to tell by how much. That's (part of) why we have resumes, and (most of) why an employer wants to know your previous salary.

Note that I'm asking this unironically. I know that "never tell anyone your salary" is a popular point of discussion here, but I have trouble seeing why it's any different from, say, a grad school asking for your GPA.
I like this. Its on PH this morning, good luck to them. Nice balance between physical and virtual resources. Would nice to know the best resource people have seen for adults so they don't quit on day 1. There are lots of adults out there that want to code but see it as a massively steep learning curve.
>there is crystalline evidence supporting the connection between LDL-cholesterol levels and mortality

The connection is very far from crystalline ([1],[2]) The strong association only seems to appear when considering groups with super high LDL-C levels, likely due to FHC. In any case, the typical approach, statins, has very little positive affect on individuals without pre-existing heart disease ([3],[4])

If vaccines had the same side effects and poor absolute risk reduction that statins have, the anti-vaxers might actually have a point.

Pinterest is fucked. Many people have Pinterest boards of designed objects.
People are somewhat missing the point with the security discussion: the target use case is almost certainly the "home NAS" box, such as the WD "My Cloud" they already sell. You put it entirely inside your firewall and use it to stream media and so on.

Having an open-source version supported by WD is much better than having a random closed-source web UI on your NAS.
In the "Silicon Valley sense", a startup is a company organized to grow quickly. Ideally it will have a capital structure (typically a C-corp) that facilitates substantial capital investment and a well proven mechanism for capturing value in those rare cases where it occurs. Most new businesses are not startups in this sense. That's a good thing because few startups in the Silicon Valley sense succeed.

"Startup founder" is not a synonym for "entrepreneur". There's really no age at which a person should wait to become entrepreneurial. Running a startup in the Silicon Valley sense, as you note, is effectively bounded by the minimum legal age of majority. Practically speaking everyone matures at different rates. There are fifteen year old children who are more mature than fifty year old adults.

My advice: trust your gut. Remember that taking investment is not business success. It obligates the founders to work to make money for someone else who is not working to make them money.

Good luck.
> "Please look at this commit so you know how you can hack us", sounds certainly like a much better idea ;-)

IMO, security-related changes should clearly be marked as such - if you don't want to have them publicly, you can keep it on a private branch for the time being.

> When was there a single very grave vulnerability within the core of Wordpress? Mostly plugins are the root of all evil there.

The same (plugins) probably applies to ownCloud, still that doesn't make it better. I personally think that embracing PHP's low entry barrier [1] is the wrong approach and I'd rather see a security-driven design.

> This is wrong. Until now there has not been a single moment where customers did receive patches in advance. The only difference being is that they see the advisories earlier, but at this moment patches are already available for all.

Thanks for the clarification - very sorry for the FUD. I got this info at a conference from one of your enterprise customers not-so-technical management guys, who is apparently misinformed.

> For the record we receiced until now 340 reports by over 150 individuals and until now only 1 vulnerability within the server has been pointed out. (Full Path Disclosure of the ownCloud root folder such as "/var/www")

My argument was that the market price of vulnerability is more or less a metric for security strength [2], and 500 USD doesn't seem to be much. If we presume that the value of a critical ownCloud exploit exceeds 500 USD, your bounty program provides very little incentive to search for or report critical vulnerabilities and you'd only get low-quality reports (which seems to be the case).

> What makes you thinl they are more secure?

I think that ownCloud has a big problem with automated vulnerability scanning and the security properties of managed appliances are generally superior. I unfortunately can't edit my original post anymore, but I should have added that running ownCloud behind a VPN is a very good idea as well.

The only thing i could find was this from the TOC "We do not try to limit the use of the Illustrations available on OBI, but we cannot guarantee these Illustrations are noninfringing, or legally accessible in your jurisdiction and your use of them is solely at your own risk. Although we do our best to offer only Illustrations that are considered public domain in most countries, copyright laws vary from one jurisdiction to another, and you agree that you are solely responsible for abiding by all laws and regulations that may be applicable to using the Illustrations."

I'd say "users that never use Github, for anything" isn't a very useful measure. Yes, that number is very low, but I bet most of GitHub's users also have repos that do not exist on Github, or are only sent to GitHub as a mirror (because GitHub is where people search for code).

I am not really sure that inflammation is a single entity.

You have 100K "fans" and no money? That's crazy. Why not beg for donations?

It was announced in 2012, and it has had no development since 2011, and hasn't shipped anywhere either.

App for make easy for business owners control their webservers
Hello,

I am new here, I am thinking in build an app which automatically make the server able to cope with stressing situations.For example, a restaurant owner wants to appear on TV tonight and he expects than 1000 users will hit his web at the same time, so using his laptop or mobile he has the chance to schedule that 1000 users will visit his web simulate the behaviour previously and automatically and then the server resize its capabilities for that period of time.
Having into account that Amazon has Elastic instances and users are migrating there. Makes any sense to build it? Thanks! Isaac

System header files usually employ platform-specific extensions not only on the preprocessor side, but in preprocessed code as well AFAIK. That is, the compiler has to support them too.

My comment was not to say that coding cpp is easy - just that it's not a particularly hard task compared to the compiler itself.
> Why do you feel that you _have_ to be able to correct history?

Why do you feel I shouldn't be able to do what I want with my history before others see it? Shared repos can reject history rewrites, as the parent said.

Also, as others have said, fossil does not provide the tools to mutate history, but that doesn't mean that history is immutable.

> They are different mindsets. i personally don't mind my mistakes staying in the record, and i am suspicious of people who feel they need to retroactively cover up past mistakes.

Who's talking about mistakes? I'm talking about cleaning up a stream of small commits I've made over the day into a smaller number of coherent, sensible commits.

Honestly, at this point online influencers with midsize followings should treat their creative content and the fanbase they've been able to build up as a portfolio of their skills to get their foot in the door of more lucrative opportunities.

I'm not quite sure why they're working minimum wage jobs to make ends meet when they could for example be using their online experience consulting for businesses who would love to devise impactful, authentic ways to connect with the demographics of their fanbase.

I think a lot of these middle tier influencers would benefit from training on how to present their skills/experiences to businesses who are willing to pay. (Not viewers.)

I just read a story about how this girl Esmee Denters (she used to be signed with Justin Timberlake, then the label dropped her) was working part time at a yogurt shop. She could easily make much more for example coaching aspiring singers on to navigate the music industry, etc.

Basically, maybe your viewers won't pay for your content but you can use your content for the proof of expertise to start an auxiliary business that makes money.

It depends on the implementation, but even if you have proper type inference, I don't understand how it would help with a heterogenous list, since it's the heterogenous nature that will prevent optimization anyway, even if you knew exactly what the types were.

Most lisps, and certainly common lisp, do not depend on type inference for correct behavior in any way, as they are fundamentally strongly but dynamically typed (like Python). The reason for type inference in Lisps is generally for optimization, where knowing that an array is of type X lets you compile X-specific code for functions that take arrays of type X, and to allow efficient memory layout, where your array is made up of contiguous X objects, rather than storing an array of pointers to X objects, and all the cache missing and so on that this causes (as well as overhead of allocating space for the pointers). Just for completeness, I am saying that in the absence of type information, arrays are always actually arrays of pointers.

So lists are always made up of cons cells which contain pointers, so one optimization is out regardless (it is possible that primative types like int or float would be packed into the cons cell itself, but most implementations would achieve this by some kind of bit tagging rather than type information being 'known'). The other optimization is out because it would likely be equivalent to do dispatch via the usual method for untyped objects rather than trying to do somehow use the type information.
