> Destroying the Anarchist revolution took the combined might of the most powerful forces in the world and clearly demonstrates their justified fear of a collective society.

The anarchist movement was only one component of the Republican front. They were not crushed by the fascist side, they were brought down by the rest of the Republicans, under the influence of the Communists (who were almost as busy hunting any movement they considered rivals, such as the marxist-but-not-Stalinist POUM, as they were fighting fascists). The anarchist social experiment in Catalonia was something unique. The Stalin-backed Spanish communist party's line was to not antagonize the middle class (they were, obviously, to be taken care of later), and of course, the other members of the coalition, being closer to the center, were seeing the anarchists with a dim view.

Another factor was the mistaken hope that the French and the British would drop the farcical "non-intervention" policy (which meant "don't do anything and pretend that Germany, Italy and the USSR are violating"), which prevented Republican Spain from bringing in weapons from France. Unfortunately for them, the British had made clear that they would not support the French in case of conflict with Germany if they started supporting the Republicans, and a mixture of fear of igniting another world war, fear of revolutionaries and sympathy for the fascists (in particular in the Royal Navy), as well as diplomatic efforts by the Nazi, ensured they would not change their mind.
This really makes me feel like the whole Raiders mess is missing a real opertunity to turn that area into a great mixed use housing/retail/entertainment area.

I mean it's got 3 lines running through it, it's near Alameda's lovely shopping, it's near the freeway, it's quick to both Oakland and SF downtown.

LOTS of housing and options there - even IF there is a new stadium in that area...
Sometimes this helper function will do everything that I would want jQuery for:

var _$ = function(selector){
var els = document.querySelectorAll(selector);
return Array.prototype.slice.call(els);
}

For example:

_$('span').forEach(function(el){ el.style.color = 'red' });
> You can squash into master without losing the history

This is otherwise known as a merge. A single atomic change to master, referencing only the final files, with the first parent referencing the previous master that was also "not" broken.

It has only one change: A second parent, referencing the more accurate history.
There's also the much-cited football problem: if high schools ended at a more reasonable hour like 3PM or 3:30PM, this causes problems for football coaches, who might see their after-school practices running to 6PM or something.

I'm reminded of how my school district carefully made sure that the austerity or budget-freeze budgets which happened when voters failed to approve their preferred budgets always just happened to not have enough funding for football...
19th St Oakland is in the middle of Uptown - it was expensive 5 years ago, let alone today. Not sure where you think it is but it's right in the middle of one of the most vibrant downtown areas in Oakland...

Rockridge is likely more expensive PER SQUARE FOOT because Orinda has more space so places are much larger but at the same price or only marginally higher. I mean Stephen Curry just bought a 3.5 million place out there that's pretty darn massive but a small 2 story home in Rockridge starts at like... 800k and not for a nice one either.

Makes sense overall.
What does constitute good design? Does this:

http://www.ocdtrekkie.com/

Because if that is "functionally useful" then I will happily continue using trendy. The thing with design is that it is not a simple subject area. You are constantly balancing several (somtimes mutually exclusive) objectives.

At the end of the day, blame end-users. They use the products that are "trendy" and look nice. They dictate good design.

So would you support an IDE that generated one individual commit per keypress?

That would actually be awesome, if the tools supported it. Imagine how easy it would be to find bugs with a bisect if it can drill down to the actual keystroke that introduced a bug.

Realistically, you'd want to back out a few notches though. Say, every time the dev hit Shift+Ctrl+B (or tabbed over to the browser or whatever signifies "build the project" in the environment in question), so that you get an indication that the current state of things was meant to at least compile and run.

But yeah, that's the value of source control. Being able to dig back in history to the exact spot where a bug was born. I can't understand all why so many people here would want to scrub that away.

I'm curious, what do you think of the commit history of the last few years of LibreOffice?

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/log/

(Don't look at the OpenOffice.org years, they literally took a whole bunch if development work from SVN branches and then merged them in as a single commit and put in single line descriptions with internal tracking numbers and odd project management codes... utter disaster! And of course the branches are now all lost...)

>Best practice would be to use SASS

SASS is a personal preference and one of the available options, not a best practice. PostCSS is a great option, with the ability to use upcoming CSS specs in the same way Babel lets you use ES7 on today's JS engines.

Bulgaria to introduce chip in its ID card. With biometrics
Yesterday the Bulgarian government published a draft proposal for introducing a chip in the ID card. In summary, the changes include:

- e-id certificate (citizens can request not to have one)
- qualified electronic signature (citizen can opt-in for that)
- biometric data (opt-in at this point, but there's always a risk of someone flipping a word and making it mandatory) according to ICAO standards
- e-id and QES in passports and residence permits.
- option to request renewal using e-id or QES

Most of the things are fine from privacy perspective - you can always revoke your certificate, and the law prohibits gathering data about devices and locations from which the ID card is used for e-identification. But the biometric part is what I'm concerned about.

Is there really any technical and security reason for that? The usual claim that "biometric passports make us safer" needs some explanation. From what I know, the ICAO standards are broken, and the fingerprints stored in the contactless chip are not just a mere hash - it's a picture of the fingerprint.

Some people claim that forging documents is impossible with biometrics, but to me that's not true, and furthermore nobody checks the fingerprints.

What do you think?

i've built an algorithmic system to help people who are civil connect to each other.

it's like pagerank, but personalized. Rather than have a top score for the 'most civil person', you use the system to record who you find civil and who you don't.

When you interact with a stranger, you can quickly find out "should i bother talking to this person, or are they just going to troll me?"

if a bunch of your friends say "hey this guy is worth talking to", then maybe you will.

if a bunch of your friends say "this guy is a troll", you'll probably think the same thing.

I really want to see what would happen to that theory after a Brexit. Would the economical/financial benefits of a closed border policy outweighs the economical/financial benefits of being a member of the European Union ? If so then that's really bad for Europe image, if not then that's really bad for those financial super powers to realize their judgments are really biased.

The third option being: the analysts here really messed up and shouldn't make a connection between a stance on open border policy and an outflow as consequence.

Sometimes when I participate in a game jam I want character portraits, but I'm no artist and making a face builder or something takes time. So using Google's facial recognition API and the Internet Archive Flickr Stream I made this; I hope it will be useful. I expect to add more images later.

Also, I suppose it's obvious, but while games were the first use that came to mind I suspect this corpus could be useful in other contexts. If there's anything I can do to improve it please let me know.
I use LESS to at least define constants easily. It's useful to be able to define your site colors as a few constants to keep things consistent. Theoretically, I could dynamically generate it on the server for the same effect, but that breaks my workflow because I usually write the HTML + CSS first in a prototype page before writing any server-side code.

You can mitigate #4 and #5 by importing less.js during development. I don't know if SASS has something similar.
Consider this tree:

dog
bark
softly
loudly
run
fast
slow
cat
meow
purr
run

Let's call this the coordinate-system of your API (I've extended it a little hopefully to make it clearer). It's a small coordinate-system because it doesn't take any strings, but whatever. 'loudly' only makes sense in the context of 'bark', and 'bark' only makes sense on the context of 'dog'. That list of nodes is a coordinate that identifies a unique position in the API. (Note that in this API, actually just "loudly" should be enough to call the right code, but that won't be true in general.)

To be formal you can pick out the code by saying `(do dog bark loudly)`, where `do` is a reduction that concatenates and executes the code at each node. (With a little constraining you could say `(do-special loudly)`)

OOP just calls these API coordinates by special impressive-sounding names. The top level "objects" and the second level "methods" and the third level "method arguments", and imposes all kinds of finicky constraints (some of which are even useful). Languages differ wildly with these constraints: Java doesn't let you have a unique instance method (well, not without either reflection or bytecode manipulation, anyway), but Ruby does (lovingly called "monkey-patching"). And it's quite rigid in it's current form, with a fixed noun/verb/adverb structure.

At the end of the day all that detail obscures the simple truth that your code defines a coordinate system and an invocation is a single coordinate. There's a lot more to be said about this, of course! But I hope it helps/inspires.

> This is why C++ code should use references more and pointers less. How's that working out in the era of move semantics?

Not terribly great. C++ references are neither move nor copy-assignable, which greatly limits their usefulness. For example, you can't use a reference as a loop counter. This means that references can never fully replace pointers: pointers are very natural loop counters when manipulating linked data structures.

What C++ needs is a movable, copyable, just non-nullable pointer type.

> Bjarne has said that "this" should have been a reference; making it a pointer was a mistake.

Wholeheartedly agree.
Is that using gerrit?
Elixir is a functional language, and has the option of modules and protocols so you can define XML#to_string in two ways.

Either as a protocol so you could do to_string(this_xml)

Or as a function within the module so you could do XML.to_string(this_xml)

If you use the module function defintion you can import it into your scope via
import XML

then you can write to_string(this_xml) as if it were a protocol.
How did you - on that 2k+ developers project - deal with the fact that sometimes someone is working on a change in a feature branch (a) that the an other developer also needs for her feature branch (b)?
Would you move the commits that need to be shared away from the features onto a seperate branch (c) and then .. ?

I am really curious how you handled these sort of situations at that scale!

He's not wrong though.

There is this strange idea, particularly in the US, that we can buy our way out of the problems caused by sea level rise. That's (somewhat) true in some cases, but Miami is not one of them. The ground is simply too porous. You'd have to pull some Dubai-level shit and build a second Miami Beach next to the original and move everyone over.

South Florida will almost undoubtably be the first area in the United States where wealthy people are materially impacted by sea level rise. And because the foundation is so porous it won't take 100 years before areas become untenable. Flooding that last a few days starts to last weeks.

It really doesn't take much.
Yeah, but dreadful if you try to bisect a problem.
Watching this video made me think, there's no reason why a VR setup couldn't similarly map the surroundings and incorporate that into the virtual world. One limitation of VR is that you can't really move around in the virtual environment, because you will bump into things in the real world (barring an omni-directional treadmill or similar). But if the system mapped out your real-word surroundings and either simulated or even just walled off any real-world objects and boundaries, you would avoid running into things, while having much more freedom to explore the virtual environment.

I'm not saying this would remove the use cases of AR, just that it could be a significant enhancement or enabler to many VR experiences.
Thank you for your reply - and thank all the others who replied.

This is a link on a NASA website :) and that organization is known to err in questions related to space. Seriously, guys - Don Pettit wrote it for general audience, and skimming the article I spotted this -

> Hydrogen-oxygen is the most energetic chemical reaction known for use in a human rated rocket. Chemistry is unable to give us any more.

This can be understood in a certain way - but also can be argued, as here - http://yarchive.net/space/rocket/fuels/hydrogen.html

> The highest measured Isp ever achieved with chemical propellants was with LH2/LF2/LLi (yes, liquid lithium), at 542s in vacuum.

Next, 15% structure certainly doesn't apply to some first stages - particularly recent Falcons from SpaceX.

The point which I was trying to make is I doubt that big of a difference. Sure, it's pretty hard to get to orbit from, say, Jupiter-like planet. However orbital speed for a planet with constant density is linear by the planet radius, and to get to New Horizons' ~16 km/s delta V as orbital speed the Earth would have to be 2 times bigger - 8 times heavier. And New Horizon's ain't cubesat either.

And, on top of that, we still have other readily available tricks up our sleeve. So I think even with rather large variations of Earth size we'd get in time to the stars.
I agree with you, and I prefer the --no-ff merge option for submitting reviews, but I think the argument for it would be a lot stronger if 'git bisect' supported a --first-parent flag the same way that 'git log' does.
I think that's harsh, smacks of competitive parentism, and dismisses the value of sleep. You can love your children but struggle with aspects of their behaviour, and you certainly can't predict what they're going to be longer before they've been born.

Every parent I know loves their children and is delighted with them, but they leap at any opportunity to spend time without them. A night out with adult friends while the kids sleep at the grandparents' is a luxury to be seized. Not quite what the previous poster was getting at, just another data point in the complex relationship between parent and child.
