I use Gerrit everyday (I work on MediaWiki) and I'm not having any problems submitting multiple dependent commits. Yes, you need to rebase the newer ones if an earlier one was non-fast-forward-merged or if an earlier one is amended, but most of the time (if there are no conflicts) this is just a click on the "Rebase" button in Gerrit's interface.
I think there's a common motive here (motive for publication). People who are disgusted by modern society, believe they have some kind of privileged moral viewpoint (see wrongs that others don't), and want to share it with the world but need to remain anonymous because of connected criminal acts.
A turbo is a better driving experience on the highway.

How so? I would perceive no difference between a turbo'd engine and a Naturally Aspirated one while driving on the highway at a constant speed. Engine responsiveness as per the parent poster would be the same within the city vs. on the highway.

There is no way to "solve" turbo lag.

I'd suggest researching variable vein turbos. BMW has done it very successfully in their e92 335s. Even resulting in a flat torque curve at very low RPM. It's impressive engineering.
The fact that everything closed so early blew me away, when I moved there. Compared to the middle of nowhere WV it made zero sense. Even the grocery stores closed by midnight in SF.

In WV, you can find food at most places until 12-1am 7 days a week. And the major local grocery is a Walmart, which is open 24 hours.

Last Easter I had no clue nothing would be open, and didn't prepare for that. So I just had some crap picked up at a gas station to hold me over until the next day. It's a really bizarre situation compared to most other metros, but even compared to a bunch of small towns.
The idea that in-fill development could have possibly made a drastic change in rents in San Francisco is genuinely crazy. I see people making that claim all the time, and it's madness, guys. Even if literally every density-increasing project was rubber-stamped with zero money or time cost, how many housing units do you think that this city could possibly have added in the last fifteen years?

Unless you're proposing eminent-domaining people out of their houses to be handed over to for-profit developers (and man, that's a mess, and it's still super-expensive), you aren't going to be replacing too many blocks of two-storey homes with high rises, and you're also quickly going to saturate the ability of local developers to build out giant skyscraper projects -- like, how much slack do you think that there possibly was in the construction industry?

And as soon as we step away from literally insane levels of accommodation to a pattern of in-fill development and recognize that, rightly or wrongly, in-fill development is not wildly popular and you can't just strong-arm an entire city into an unpopular policy, the realistic amount of new development that you could get in SF is, you know, maybe twice as much development as we actually did get.

Which might've shaved 5% off the rents or so.
How does this compare to some of the systems provided by cloud providers? Seems like requiring an on-site capability is a hurdle for integration if you already have your data on a cloud provider.

FWIW YoutTube streaming allows rewinds/pausing/fast forwarding and it works pretty well. I far prefer it to a Tivo.

I agree with you about the network connection quality though.

But those words (coyote, mesquite, tomato, and avocado, unless I seriously miss my guess) all end in a vowel.

In my younger days I had occasion to spend four months in a county jail. The more regular inmates would go to a medical appointment, and no matter what pills they were issued, on returning, he and a couple friends would get together, one would tell a guard they had a headache and get two aspirin. They would then grind up all and snort it. I never saw the point or the wisdom, but they'd even snort antibiotics.
Sorry - didn't meant to come off as aggressive or combative.. There's just a surprising amount of hostility from those who like Rahm or think Rahm is a built-in in Chicago. "Why don't you just move?" and calling me unpatriotic were pretty interesting to hear.

The idealist in me thinks those behaviors can be fixed even though it's "turtles all the way down". Though, if enough people do enough tenaciously peaceful civics work, then hopefully things will get slightly better. By treating everything as a mystery as [0] and [1] talk about, things become manageable.

> I.e. can I rely on getting a non-maliciously-modified repo when I ask for particular SHA1?

Someone could serve you a maliciously-modified repo, but Git itself would then reject those objects, since they won't lead to the SHA1 that Git knows that it's looking for -- you would keep trying other peers until someone gave you bits that match the correct SHA1.
As a guy from Europe I don't know much about the US tax system. If somebody mentions he earns $120k, I assume that's gross salary? What does he usually end up with net?
From what I understand it depends on the state. Is that 4.25% you talk about the only tax there is?
To be fair, he/she is not really over-analyzing. You just made a pretty blatant logical fallacy to argue your point. Comparing a GM to a rover designed for space is apples to oranges.
I agree, in a way, since I really want to see the bay area engage in meaningful construction (along with expanding BART and other types of public transportation).

But if SF's refusal to build is having repercussions in Oregon, and all SF needs to do is build… well, then shouldn't Portland be able to solve its problems by doing the same thing?

Or has NIMBYism morphed into NIMSOTPNW (not in my section of the pacific northwest)?
The git-review plugin is not required, you can instead do `git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/master` to push changes for review and use the snippets from the change's page to pull them. But it's easier to do `git review` and `git review -d` instead, and it doesn't require understanding or memorizing the weird push command. (I work on MediaWiki, by the way.)
Thank you! Definitely offtopic.
Style Guides, UI Blocks and how they bill for their hours.
Don't get me started. You get inured to it after a while, but every time I travel outside of SF, I remember what it's like to live in a real city.

I moved here because it had a pleasant climate and (once had) a vibrant art/culture scene that provided ~80% of what you could get in bigger cities, at a discount. It was a city, but with a higher quality of life. For that, you might be willing give up some things.

That's no longer true. I don't know how new people rationalize the costs here, except as an "investment" into something else -- their career, real estate, whatever.
I totally agree with this sentiment. This is what I am debating now. I do think that San Fran area can do better by at least making the surrounding areas AMAZING rather than trying to make San Francisco proper happen now. I think working around the initial problem could end up having a positive effect on San Francisco proper. Smaller towns and suburbs should be easier to upgrade than a larger one.
I do appreciate you sharing your experience with me.
A former coworker ran a VMware lab environment of several VMs off his Precision laptop. Being told I could play with the test environment while his laptop was in the building and on was funny.

I have two 2.5" SATA drives in my Precision, and I have room for an M2 slot SATA left. And it has three network card slots, effectively.

Also, I had to buy a bigger laptop bag for my Precision, and carrying it to and from my car counts as an exercise regimen.
Ah, I see. In that case, you're right, it's not: if you track issues and docs like like in the same way as you track source files, then functionality-wise they're no different.

The differences that remain are purely in the interface. For example, although they're synced the same way, VCSes tend to display issues differently than source; it's easier to filter out issue changes from the timeline, and harder to accidentally delete other people’s comments. It also makes it possible for people who aren't actual members of your project to raise and comment on the issues, which wouldn't usually be possible (unless your VCS can manage permissions for each file).

One particular use case of yours that Fossil does support is the ability to have a "wiki/" subfolder and have the web interface automatically format and display the pages inside, so you can link to them more easily if you're using the HTTP server for hosting. I think I use this feature more than the built-in wiki because it’s possible to version the docs along with the source, ensuring they never go out of sync.
I witnessed a car in downtown Indianapolis pull that stunt. Of course, the driver accelerated straight into a pedestrian, who was less than enthused.
A long and detailed list of prime number structures in Haskell

And a long list of algorithms. Many of which are surprising and probably not that efficient. The first few are:

Efficiency is kind of a relative issue, since you don't know the job beforehand or which one would be optimal
> "you need to be able to state the other side's argument in a way that the other side would not disagree with"

I particularly like a version of this termed the "Ideological Turing Test". The idea is to anonymously write both your position and an opposing position, and to see if an audience consisting of people from both sides (and, potentially, those who are neutral or are on some other side) can identify which side you actually support. If you can state both arguments convincingly enough that it's difficult to determine which one you really believe, then (according to adherents of this concept) you've earned the right to be critical. If, on the other hand, one side easily identifies you as an outsider, then you require further listening/study before you'll be capable of criticizing that side on a reasonable level.

While I think the process is more cumbersome than necessary, I agree with the underlying concept -- if you can't state someone else's argument in a way that they think is fair, then you either don't understand it well enough, or you understand but you're being intentionally disrespectful by choosing unfair characterizations.

I can't speak for anyone else, but it seems exceptionally ridiculous to me that you'd make a choice of which technology to use based on whether or not your username is available. I don't know if I'd downvote anyone for that, but it did inspire a laugh out loud moment.
Even then, it's not going to make it to Larkspur until later, phase 1 only makes it to downtown San Rafael (but there's supposed to be a free bus from there to take you to the ferry).

As someone who lives in Santa Rosa, having something that connected directly to SF or BART from up here would be awesome (even if not really feasible). My brother lives here as well and he commutes to the Embarcadero for work. I'm not jealous, I already have no time. An extended commute would be the end of me.
I think the commenter was generally referring to developing secure systems for themselves.

The NSA 'owns' at least one semiconductor fab[1] in Texas, and used to (or still does) own another secure CMOS facility in Santa Clara [2]. Add in several facilities owned by defense contractors as well as the facilities at places such as Lincoln Lab. When you have the ability to develop and build your own secure technology, it would seem perfectly 'logical' to force others to use lesser, less secure hardware.

The Volt is a hybrid that is in 100% electric mode for the vast, vast majority of the time.

There's a big difference between an electric-assist Prius and an electric-first plus Gasoline Generator Volt. The Prius is always burning gasoline, while the Volt only starts burning gas when it runs low on charge.

There's a newer model Prius (ie: Prius Prime) that has 20-miles of pure electric range, but that's not even enough to get me from home to work and back. In practice, I'd have to keep the Prius in gasoline / hybrid mode even for a daily commute.

In contrast, the Volt's 40-mile pure electric range is a big deal changer. Again, the Volt is a pure electric vehicle with a generator. The Prius is a hybrid engine (and the Prius Prime is a hybrid engine that can shut off the gasoline feed, but is still a hybrid engine nonetheless).

I'd say the standard Prius is closer to the Malibu Hybrid, or other hybrids. But the plug-in pure electric mode of the Volt (and the recent Prius Prime) almost demands a new category.
10 Types of People at Karaoke
> Is it required for Nahuatl nouns, like the Latin -t suffix?

I don't understand what you're thinking of here? Here are some Latin nouns, all in nominative case:

nauta (first declension)
puer (second)
gladius (second)
malum (second)
lex (third)
limen (third)
tempus (third)
virtus (third)
civitas (third)
cornu (fourth)
manus (fourth)
res (fifth)

I gave the nominative case, but in fact none of those nouns has any form ending in -t. The only -t suffix I know of in Latin is for third-person singular verbs.
I heard it explained that the reason that Twitter got the nod was because the NFL was concerned about losing young viewers because they were cable cutters.

If this logic is correct you can expect the NBA, NHL, MLB and NASCAR to cut deals with Twitter. This is a direction that I didn't expect Twitter to go.
Sorry if this is off-topic (and maybe a bit personal), but as a recent graduate, I'm not sure what I would do with all that extra money. What do you (or most people) generally spend it on? I make less than that, but if I didn't have student loans, I wouldn't know what to do with it besides leave it in the bank.
The most concerning thing about this article is the implications if someone like Foos has access to the levers of modern technology. Imagine if, instead of owning a motel, he worked on Dropcam at Nest (I certainly hope they have the ability to monitor and audit their own personnel, for their own sake).

The article is really a brilliant example of how we should not view the organizations/institutions we interact with as impersonal abstractions, but should always consider the human beings - and human flaws/motives - behind them.
It's a countrywide problem. Portland has some serious NIMBY issues of its own. For instance:

http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2016/03/charlie...

It'd probably be best if it were fixed in several places at once. For instance, Bend is a town of 80K people, and it could (and should) add a bunch of density. But if all that just goes to soaking up 1000's of "refugees" from California, it's not as effective as it could have been. In other words, California can produce many more people looking for a cheaper, better place than Bend can hope to absorb, so it'd be nice if the Bay Area fixed some of its own mess, as well as Portland, Seattle, Austin, Boulder etc...

To be perfectly honest with you, as someone who worked in IT and knew how easy it was to snoop on emails if I wanted, I have decided that I am okay with a few strangers reading my emails.

I can't pretend to speak on others' behalf.
That's implausible: San Francisco is overbuilt to the extent that green areas are sparse, though those which exist are decent, rather than distributed throughout the city. That contrasts in the extreme with the other cities you mentioned, and matters to many people.
Thanks for checking it out. Is it possible something went to your spam folder? I don't have enough data yet to know how spam filters are going to handle these emails.

Re: signatures, they're not saved in the browser at all (yet), and they exist on the server in the form of temporary files that are deleted after the final email is sent. As it exists right now, the solution is "security-free." Don't use it for anything sensitive.

That raises an interesting idea - maybe I can have v2.0 generate and send the final PDF directly from the browser. You would still have your signature in a PDF going over email. Until I add optional "sign in" and secure download, the email aspect is going to be a weak point.

As you mention, if you're on OS X, Preview is the best software-based solution I know of. Even there, it seems like every time I try to stamp a PDF with Preview something goes wrong. This solution also removes a few steps even from that workflow--namely any concept of dealing with files and their location--and works basically the same on most devices.

Thanks again, I appreciate your feedback.
