"git rebase -i" is essentially how the entire Linux kernel process works - and IMO it works pretty beautifully. The only real downside I've seen is that it can lead to developers submitting code which breaks bisection due to not testing each individual rebased commit - in the kernel, this is somewhat alleviated by the Intel 0day bot which gives us automated build failure feedback, but it's still an issue. The benefits of a nice clean changelog though should not be underestimated.
Managing State in Angular 2 Apps (written by Angular 2 core dev)
this is utterly amazing. whoever the programmer is, holler at me, I'd love to help you make it a collaborative realtime beat-making engine, i.e. so people can contribute to the same song at the same time. I'm sure you've already thought about this. It's about time for a javascript collaborative beat-making engine to take off, especially with midi support on the horizon or here already (i forget).

I have been thinking the same for a long time. Clothing these days are just branding, marketing as such. I don't want any of that. I want quality, decent materials.

Like the article suggested, materials in clothing these days cost very little. I used to own two Ralf Lauren Polo Cotton T-Shirt. One Cost $200 the other $100, both were a sensation to wear. I still have them today and i love them. The problem is i got them as gift. I could never afford to buy them myself. I just wanted simple styling and plain colour, nothing fancy, and decent quality materials like those Polo Shirt i have. I tried a few Start up who claim they uses premium quality but they surely dont match those.

For now i continue to stick to Uniqlo for pretty much everything. They sure are not the best, but I do find them value for money, at least comparative speaking.

We have quite a few PIs in the SF Bay Area, so canned mutton and corned beef are easy to find. That stuff hits all your taste-bud cravings for salt and fat. Luau povi (also called lupulu) is corned beef cooked with taro leaves and coconut milk, and it's delicious and despite being probably 1000 calories to a cup of the stuff, it doesn't feel that heavy. It's stew-like so it takes well to sitting on a steam table, and if a food truck started serving it I would definitely be a regular.
It's free and not obviously harmful and has a plausible biological rationale, but if you think it may not work, it's easy to run your own self-experiment: stick it in a little randomized script and record when you go to bed for, say, 50 days and see.

Walmart in Canada is much, much nicer than in the US. In the US, we almost never went to Walmart and preferred shopping at Target. When we moved back to Canada, we initially were delighted that there was now a Target store in our area. We had horrible experiences and it turned us off completely.

I feel really bad for the people who lost their jobs.. for young people in their first job, it might be okay. For older folks who probably quit a job some place else, it is really a hard experience.

Walmart stores in Toronto that I visited, definitely seemed crowded with long check outs. Other cities in Ontario, the checkouts seem to be adequately staffed. I'm surprised how different Walmart Canada is from the US operation!
In America the movies are the same. The tv selection is better. But it gets worse every month. Original content is worth 10 a month to me. But I wonder if all 75 million subscribers feel the same.

It's interesting to me that shell integration is becoming a harder problem with editors these days.

What Atom considers bare minimum is stuff that Acme doesn't even think about: syntax-highlighting, auto-indentation, and auto-complete.

The recommendation seems to be to lock down the code base to the elite few. How about instead, we implement regression testing, employ a competent development team and communicate the software design before coding. Code reviews address the effects, not the cause of the problem.

First of all, this is awesome!

Maybe my ears are messed up, but I seem to be hearing that the "Keys" sounds are interrupting each other, in a way that none of the other sounds seem to do. That is, if you play two of them simultaneously, only one will be heard. If you play one a fraction behind another the first will be preempted. Normally the "Keys" sounds have a lovely sustain, so this disappoints.

This is on Chrome 47.0.2526.110.
As a side note, early on (in the first version of this project) I tried doing something significantly more fancy by taking the most frequent words in each category of the training set that also accounted for a large fraction of the word occurrence in all the emails (so words that have high counts of which at least 10-25% were from a single category). It seems like something like this should be better than just taking the most common words, but either the parameters I chose or my code itself was no good. Just taking a lot of the most frequent words and doing feature selection probably results in fairly similar features, though...
Honestly Walmart deserves the type of employees they have with the compensation they offer. Getting good retail-capable employees isn't complicated so they've obviously made a conscious choice to have the place be a meat grinder for awful employees.

You misunderstand what's going on. If I publish a paper people want to know what the data I found suggests and that's it.

A reader can then build there own chain of logic combining several papers with prior knowledge. Further, if someone retracts a paper they can update that chain of logic. But, if a paper is based on another paper that was retracted then it's chain of logic is suspect.

PS: Bayesian reasoning is fine for meta analysis though.
Nice, thanks for the link. I did find a few research papers and the like on this topic, but none of those seemed to have very interesting approaches/results. But this looks quite interesting.

You get about 1/10th of the content of the (already kind of lame) Netflix streaming Library.

In comparison, Netflix DVD has about 93,000 titles available.

Compare this to a good video rental store, which stocks around 20,000-30,000 titles (or a top end video store, like Scarecrow, which has over 120,000 titles in stock).

It will be interesting to see when the Various VPN providers start getting blacklisted - so far I've had zero difficulty with Netflix, HBO Now - Though, BBC iplayer has successfully blacklisted me, so clearly it's possible to track down the VPN providers IP address ranges.

So they should be considered to be contractors because they have to pay their own expenses? But they wouldn't be paying their own expenses if Uber classified them as employees. This is circular logic.
The People's Cloud
The OpenDoc sources were on the developer CDs at the time as well. It wasn't really Open Source and as far as I recall you couldn't change and redistribute it, but it could be quite handy for debugging as well as for seeing how everything fit together.

One of the biggest difficulties with OpenDoc development was the marriage to IBM's System Object Model (SOM) because C++ didn't support the required level of dynamism. That meant everything interfacing with OpenDoc components—which was ideally supposed to be everything!—had to round-trip through an IDL layer with a bunch of machine-generated glue code. Theoretically "direct-to-SOM" compilers were coming, where a class could be annotated and get SOM API & ABI compatibility, but I don't recall if one ever shipped for the Mac.

OpenDoc would have been far leaner and more comfortable to develop for if it had embraced a dynamic language like Objective-C, instead of immediately reaching for maximum language agnosticism and an IDL. Everyone who demanded cross-platform wasn't really going to develop for it anyway, and giving in to that just slowed it down.

(Incidentally, Dylan had the same problem: The "It needs infix syntax for me to even look at it!" developers were never going to use it anyway because it wasn't and never would be C, so the people working on it shouldn't have squandered multiple years of effort trying to please them instead of improving the tight, simple Lisp-syntax version.)
I would love to see this program. Maybe even spend some time trying to get it to compile.

Artificial Intelligence Outperforms Human Data Scientists (2015)
I'm not going to tweak something that is "dead on arrival".

It has to be usable first with zero configuration; then the integrator gets excited and is inspired to weak.

What I like about this is the idea of a generic style sheet that just works with standard elements. It's successful in that basically it worked for me as designed; it applied its style to all the elements. Only, its idea of style is to make the fonts a bigger, and turn a simple table into something that needs scroll bars in both dimensions.

I would definitely like to try some other "just drop it in" stylesheet like this. Or maybe this one too, six months from now. Or its emerging forks (the project encourages forking).
> This is only true if you allow commits that haven't individually passed your CI suite to be pushed. That's insane.

It's also pretty common in open source projects (due to limited CI resources or other reasons). I also note that this is not the only problem: the problem is that these commits never existed in the wild. This can also lead to subtle problems that CI simply can't catch.

> Working at an organization (Google) that for the most part doesn't use branches and where other merges are impossible (every file must have previously been resolved against whatever is at HEAD prior to submitting), I respectfully disagree[0]. A linear history of individually reviewed and validated changes is MUCH easier to deal with than the regularly branched/merged history of my previous gig (which did use git, along with pre-push change review for each change).

Your problem here is that Git does not have a good way of displaying structured history and just throws the raw DAG or a topologically or chronologically sorted list at the user; lack of named branches means that you're largely looking at an anonymous soup of objects with no tools to filter them. Contrast with Bazaar's hierarchical logs (augmented with branch nicknames), for example, if you want to make a serious argument.

> They're a leaky abstraction, though. Unless you mutate published history (which I do think is insane)

Published mutable history is not per se insane. Please familiarize yourself with Darcs/Pijul/Mercurial's changeset evolution. Note that I am not saying this is necessarily a good idea, it's just not per se insane. Not all projects have the same requirements/workflow/number of contributors/etc.

> it's inevitable that your nice bundle of merged changes will one day be incomplete: additional changes to make the bundle actually function as intended will be required. These will end up detached from it as some other commit series on HEAD or merged into HEAD.

Note that when I say that this is an abstraction mechanism, it's not the only abstraction mechanism. This, again, is a Git problem [1], not a VCS problem. This is, for example, where named branches come into play; see in particular Fossil's tagging mechanism (which has little to do with Git-style tags) or Veracity's stamps.

[1] Git is a solid workhorse for a DVCS, but it is a very basic version control system, sort of the lowest common denominator in the DVCS world. This makes it a poor basis for arguments as to what can be done in a VCS.

I actually don't care about the TV part or 'Originals'. I just want something where I can watch the latest movies without having to go and buy a plastic disc.

Rental stores (other than having to physically go in) were a good solution to this, until Netflix et al killed them. Now if you want this, the best option just seems to pirate movies. Popcorn Time and even streaming sites (like the Polish one mentioned in another comment) provide a comparable experience to Netflix, but with the content people actually want to watch.

With all the licensing 'deals' and restrictions it seems that the studios have just shot themselves in the foot...
Field Notes from an Expedition into the Paleohistory of Personal Computing
Sorry, I'm referring a bit too far up the chain with "that." The only meaning I could imagine for the title was that one shouldn't place code into source control at all before code review, which is too absurd to possibly be what was meant.

I use an Acer C720 Chromebook running Linux to drive my virtual piano software. I had no complaints with it's on-board audio performance, but after reading multiple exhortations on the internet about how much better external soundcards are, I bought a $5 USB soundcard widely available from multiple vendors on ebay. OK, I can just barely hear an improvement over the on-board. It's better in the sense of "significant" (ie definitely there), but it just isn't a material difference to me.

If I'm that deaf to the differences between these two sources, I'm curious if people think the UCA202 will change my life?

Good stuff. I'm interested to see data on other cotton garments, particularly buttondown shirts.

Cotton is just a lousy fiber. On the other hand, wool is a strong and resilient fiber. It also never needs to be washed provided it isn't stained.

My wife knit a wool sweater for a close friend of mine who spent 6 months as a bosun on the tallship the Lady Washington (the Interceptor in the Pirates of the Caribbean). Fresh water is scarce on a tallship so showers were infrequent. He came home during Christmas and I smelled the sweater which he claims he never washed and it smelled fresh. Surprisingly, it also kept him warm and dry on the open ocean. I later learned that Irish fishermen have been wearing wool sweaters at sea for generations.

Wool is the fiber of the past and future.

But only if you use linear components (meaning L,C,R). Introduce just one diode and the system of diff equations needs to be solved numerically. In which case you have switch to simulations like spice anyways. Therefore there is no reason to even bother with Laplace transforms nowadays. For hobbyists (and the vast majority of professionals) I would consider it completely useless knowledge.

Didn't read the code of this specific project but if recall correctly, you can change the favicon by setting it in the dom to the base64 representation of the icon data any time. From there, generating animations is just a question of filling pixels data with the canvas API and getting the resulting base64 string out of said API as well. Obviously all of this works only if the browser is relatively modern.

You have to be careful comparing the cost of wind to the cost of nat gas and other reliable sources of generation. You can't count on wind. That makes it much less valuable than natural gas. But don't take my word for it, here is the Energy Information Adminstration making that point. https://www.eia.gov/forecasts/aeo/electricity_generation.cfm

This wind build out really is driven by subsidies such as the wind production tax credit. The credit is large enough that wind producers can pay the electric grid to take their electricity and still make money.
I don't think that's possible for most of them. Quite a few formulas aren't equivalent to any one program, and most variables don't have a fixed meaning.

Good grief, headphones do not need electrical damping. This is relevant to large speakers, and only at around their resonant frequency (as mounted in the cabinet). If you're getting some funny resonance in your headphones, electrical damping isn't going to do anything; it's a mechanical issue.
The main problem with "SOA" is that the big software corporations (the type that often have 3 letters in their names) realized they could make millions by layering on new 1000 page "standards" on top of the old 1000 page standards and selling crap solutions to CIOs via golf course handshakes.

Now they've got their eye on "APIs", so watch out. And by the way if the author is right about the trends in "enterprise" (and I believe he has a good handle on it) the whole "schemaless" fad is going to get real ugly, real quick.
Seriously! Any programmer would get pilloried for working solely in single letter variable names. It's so tedious that this is the norm in math.
My belief is that how to divide systems into small pieces and have them communicate technically, be reused and composed, is masking the real problem.

The real problem is representing and implementing a complex business problem or system within the service or application.

Technical emphasis instead of one on the business solution - of modeling the problem domain into code - is a bad smell?
