The rationale is also explained in the policy:

Ubuntu is a trusted open source platform. To maintain that trust we need to manage the use of Ubuntu and the components within it very carefully. This way, when people use Ubuntu, or anything bearing the Ubuntu brand, they can be assured that it will meet the standards they expect.

The designer of Fossil and SQLite here...

Git was designed to support Linux development. Fossil was designed to support SQLite development. Those projects have very different needs. The details are the subject of a 1-hour talk and are more than can be compressed into a HN comment. Sufficient it to say that (I believe) there is room in the world for more than one VCS.

Earlier today, a support customer needed to know all SQLite check-ins between versions 3.8.7 and 3.8.8.1 that touched any of the files src/pager.c, src/os_unix.c, or src/wal.c. The answer is on this link: https://www.sqlite.org/src/timeline?from=version-3.8.7&to=ve...

Is a query like that even possible with Git or GitHub?

In fairness, I had to enhance Fossil slightly in order to support the query above. But the enhancement was minor and only took a few minutes. See the diff at https://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/info/b2b62b8318700f9f
You're not teaching programming, but you are teaching coding, no? You're learning to code, and it's pretty easy.

And you can graduate from coding to programming some basic javascript and get into fun stuff like Liquid (Shopify) without leaving the familiar browser environment and text editor of choice.
I can't tell whether you are trying to claim that it never gets updated or show that that isn't true.
IPFS already does this and exists. It is decentralized, it lets you put your own content in it whenever you want, and anyone can use it.

IE, you can simply drop an html page into your own IPFS directory, and other users of IPFS can browse to it (assuming you put global read permissions on it). It is no more complicated than a daemon and a virtual file system.

I was reluctant to switch to tmux, but screen's never fixing its UTF8 display in hardstatus makes me sad.
>Iran is pretty agressive in its rethoric on how it wants to wipe out a certain democracy by the Mediterranean.

Apartheid. Palestinians are under occupation, will not get their own state and cannot vote.

The rhetoric is only aggressive once it's gone through the media filter. What they actually said is closer in meaning to what some wet Jewish New York liberals say - that Israel "the Jewish state" should be consigned to the dustbin of history.
Commerce on the Internet has come to rely almost exclusively on financial institutions serving as
trusted third parties to process electronic payments. While the system works well enough for
most transactions, it still suffers from the inherent weaknesses of the trust based model

The problem with [a trusted central authority] is that the fate of the entire money system depends on the company running the mint, with every transaction having to go through them, just like a bank.

Sure, it's hard to say exactly what Bitcoin is for or against, given that it's a multi-faceted community with many different goals. But to deny that decentralization and lack of central planning is a huge motivation / driver / goal of both the original inception of Bitcoin, and also the community that developed around Bitcoin, is pretty hard to believe.

One of the things I like about amateur radio is that it teaches you to respect a common good (in this case, the spectrum). Hams seem to really understand this concept. It's easy to be defeatist and cry about tragedy of the commons but in amateur radio people are largely respectful and abide by the etiquette.
A photo is still better because the object doesn't need to be kept still while the phone is pointed at it for the entire time the small details are being examined.
Well, even the hackers post their blog posts nowadays to centralized networks. Why every article has to be on medium.com - I have no idea - but it's very similar pattern the regular users of Internet have.
> Open source won the battle of software.

It has not won critical battles on the hardware, firmware, productivity, or gaming fronts. Your hardware is still holistically proprietary with baked in proprietary CPUs, the firmware is still entirely proprietary and ripe for backdoor exploitation, video games are still by-and-large proprietary and even decades old titles remain so and die in cultural death for it, and companies are reaping insane profits off Autodesk / Photoshop / Vegas etc being proprietary but their consumers "cannot live without them" and thus there is no way to liberate them.
After considering this problem in long detail in the past, I too favoured utf8 at the time.

I remember a project (circa 1999) I worked on which was a feature phone HTML 3.4 browser and email client (one of the first). The browser/ip stack handled only ascii/code page characters to begin with. To my surprise it was decided to encode text on the platform using utf-16. Thus the entire code base was converted to use 16 bit code points (UCS-2). On a resource constrained platform (~300k ram IFIRC), better, I think, would have been update the renderer and email client to understand utf8.

Nice as it might be to have the idea that utf16, or utf32 were a "character" it is as has been pointed out not the case, and when you look into language you can see how it never can be that simple.
Saying "we can regulate" is true, but so vague as to be an empty statement, in my opinion, and previous regulatory actions against tech giants (mainly Microsoft) have been - again, in my opinion - simply exercises of extracting money with no benefit to the consumers.

Which regulations would you like to see implemented on Facebook & co?

And by the way, I'd love to see a definition of "market failure" as commonly used that isn't essentially "the market doesn't do what I consider best". People like to (rightly) criticize the liberal right by pointing out that markets are just a tool, but that should come with the realization that a bad outcome can arise without being a flaw in the tool. If the allocation of goods and services is efficient, the market didn't fail, even if the outcome is not socially optimal. We just didn't use it correctly.
> we’re read-heavy and write-light

Sounds like an easy win. People are probably suggesting a database switch because they're finding issues with the current speed, but they're not using their current database to its full potential yet.
I can provoke my tinnitus (make it audible and increase its volume a lot) by pulling my chin back / stiffen my neck in specific ways. I don't mind it. It always goes away soon after. But it's curious. Never got a proper diagnose for it.

Hi, I wrote a white paper which is available at http://streembit.github.io/ and link of the white paper is http://streembit.github.io/downloads/streembit_whitepaper_v1...

We use open standards such as JOSE, JWS, JWT, JWE and the audio & video is WebRTC that is open source as well. All crypto are FIPS compliant and the ECC and ECDH uses recommended curves. The IoT is directly mirrors our work in W3C WoT. I am working on W3C WoT security and move the code from there to Streembit. The objective is with Streembit to stay based on open standards.

That's really neat. I like that it's solving a language problem and coming up with something intelligible and fun. It is also right in the sweet spot for complexity. A nice "hello programming language" exercise indeed

It doesn't even need to be free (as in beer or speech) software... there are a number of popular proprietary protocols like DStar.

I kind of wish that weren't the case. At a minimum the protocol should be documented and unencumbered by patents.
I was unfamiliar with this project and assumed it was a hosted service at first. Not so, this is a local application, so an embedded database makes sense.

It took until the very last paragraph for the blog post to make that point.
It's almost like you didn't read the comment. They had experts review their code, and they didn't catch the bug. They had huge public interest, and nobody caught the bug. So the chances are, unless big, breaking changes to the platform are made, the vast majority of contracts that will ever be written will be buggy.

The power relationship a cashier has with his hiring/firing manager at a grocery store is not materially different to the relationship a software developer has with his hiring/firing manager.

In both cases the managers' job is to keep the workers in line.
As far as FL/FP/FPr go, http://www.call-with-current-continuation.org/fp/ is the most mature and complete implementation I'm aware of.

There's #proglangdesign on freenode where a bunch of us have been on an array language/function-level streak lately. Some people there might be aware of more.

I think learning to code _is_ easy.

I've recently pointed a friend towards FreeCodeCamp, he's never tried development but was asking about it (previous non-tech related jobs) so I pointed him to the website.

Yesterday he must have spent 8 hours doing tutorials, occasionally asking questions and has started building his first website. He's beginning to pick up the basic building blocks of programming, not for loops and if blocks, but data structures, debugging (Chrome is amazing), etc.

I think the hardest part of learning to code is choosing a language and deciding what to build. The rest is Stack Overflow and online tutorials. Oh, and a whole lot of time.

Sure to become an "Expert" you'll need to learn about a vast range of things that are not code, but affect code - like security, best practices, readability and maintainability, different stacks, etc. But getting your foot in the door with the basics is pretty easy.
Mozilla doesn't let people distribute modified copies of "Firefox" either. That's why Iceweasel was invented.

FWIW, I've run SQLite in a few production sites (low 6 figure pageviews per month) and it has worked fantastically. If you understand and work with the limitations, it really is amazing how much you can get out of it.

I'm actually surprised WordPress hasn't ever moved over to it for ease of installation/deployment - WordPress and PHP seem more likely to trip over in most deployments I've seen before SQLite would.
Yeah... but it also doesn't hurt that there are a number of regulations designed to prevent abuse and the FCC isn't shy about handing out $10,000+ fines to repeat offenders.
MS popularized the idea of adding the UTF-16 BOM into UTF-8 to distinguish between UTF-8 text files and Windows code page files, or what they called "Unicode" and "ANSI." There's (nearly?) unanimous agreement among everyone else that BOMs in UTF-8 text are really stupid.

Note that the "BOM" in this case means storing the U+FEFF character in UTF-8 form (just as UTF-16 stores it in the appropriate endianness). This means that the result would be EF BB BF.

Thanks; I've added a phrase to the intro section to mention that beets is a desktop app.
Glad to see this. I just subscribed to the Vimeo $60 plan in order to upload my daughter's Irish dance recital.

YouTube flagged the audio as infringing on some commercial recording even though it was a live performance of very old traditional tunes; apparently the software matched three jigs to someone's CD version. They put the burden of proof on me,caught in an overly wide net. Luckily Vimeo's more laissez faire.
I'm a long time user and lover of SQLite, since way back when. Use it in a lot of our projects (web and Win32) that require local databases for logging etc.

Sure for larger or concurrent user access to a db, we use other databases, but nothing beats the 'zero footprint' install of SQLite. I even enjoyed the fact that earlier versions of SQLite forced me to think optimise my queries due to the lack of nested SELECTs.

SQLite still kind of reminds me of my early days in MySQL. I was recently trying to downgrade MySQL 5.7 to 5.6 after a slew of issues, which forced me to reminisce about how simple things used to be when MySQL was a lot like SQLite still is now...
I think Bitcoin will mostly be useful for people who don't have access to a real banking system. Which is to say 'criminal enterprises'.

Basically what is the point you're trying to make?
Oh, I absolutely support the concept of telehealth. But telehealth provided by a company which sells specific medications is a very different matter.
I would recommend Elixir or Clojure over Scala. In my opinion, Scala and F# suffer from supporting multiple programming paradigms, which means that people tend to fall back on the procedural or object-oriented programming they know, rather than learning how to do things the right way, functionally speaking. That has been my experience with them, anyway.

May I ask what kind of products your startup was based upon, like online shopping, online community, real estate etc. and if possible what do you believe was the core reason or events that lead to its shutdown. Thanks.
Would it help if the doctoring was split off from the online pharmacy?

As an engineer, I would argue that birth control's primary use is recreational.
People struggle with routers because they're terrible. Buggy, inconsistent, and their UI is full of detailed technical questions they don't know the answer to.

I imagine the box of the future is a home cloud box with a small touchscreen on it for the easiest bootstrapping ever. Enter a name and that's the new dynip subdomain and said. Enter a password and that's the password for wifi and for accessing the group shared content online, and the encryption key for cloud backup. Dont ask the user what encryption they want, just set up wpa2.

Physical panel is always admin. Let the panel admin create users and admins with their own credentials for all the usual cloud services - docs, email (at their subdomain), some kind of social networking/IM node, with easy-to-download apps for various other services like minecraft or music streaming or whatever, etc.

Complete 1-stop wifi and cloud server.
"All night" isn't quite true. It has 10 hours of storage. And if you want full capacity, you have to start tapping into that in the evening.

Also what's cool about this plant, is that it doesn't use natural gas in the morning to heat up the molten salt (like other plants). The salt never cools completely during the lifetime of the plant.

Expensive though.. on a 25 year contract at 13.5 cents per kwh. That'll be renegotiated after the 25 years at a much lower rate. Utilities pay higher prices for new plants (gas, oil, etc) to pay off the cost of building it. After that, it drops to a more reasonable price.

Is the bottleneck even the database in the first place? From the article, that doesn't seem to be the case:

> The main case when beets writes to its database is on import, and import performance is dominated by I/O to the network and to music files.

Small file I/O is universally slow, even on SSDs, and if you're hitting rate-limited MusicBrainz servers for each file, database performance is almost irrelevant.
Too bad Flickr never came out with a camera app. Tied in to their original uploader that would have been a pretty nice combination.
Great who needs debate around static ALPR (license plate readers) data collection when we will soon have swarm of cars running with connected dashcams. The resolution is already good enough for face recognition on bystanders/people crossing street. Things will get even more interesting once we get self driving cars equipped with omnidirectional video recording capabilities.

I am very interested in what can be done, with such data. I am currently working with long duration (>20 minutes) dashcam videos uploaded by users to youtube.

I have significant social anxiety and see a doctor about it. Yet, buying condoms is up there in the top ten most uncomfortable things I know of.

Your thoughts on this are way, WAY too simplistic. It's incredibly aggravating to see you being upvoted for this nonsense. Maybe in a perfect world with perfect self-understanding, but that's not the world we live in.
I'm thinking that there is a lot to look forward to when the browsers start supporting the likes of IPFS, along with some DNS hints for IPFS nodes... perhaps something similar to a CNAME record, that points a DNS name to an IPFS published directory... Although, that would need a relatively low TTL, as it should be possible to publish, then update said reference quickly.
A little of A, a little of B. A new release is a bit newsworthy, since they don't happen super often. But at the same time, "never gets updated" is clearly not true.
Why insider ? Ethereum/TheDAO posted an ad that said "$40M investment award to anyone who can find an exploitable bug in our open-source contract software" , which would affect many a competent outsider.

This really isn't it, though. The respect for others aspect is baked into the instruction you get if you study at a club. I think people generally understand that the only way for everyone to make those long range contacts they want (or whatever they're trying to accomplish) is if everyone is mostly being fair in their use of the bands. I don't get the sense that people would start acting out of turn if only someone stopped watching them.
The initial release of tmux was in 2007. The initial release of screen was in 1987. I assume they don't update as frequently because it's relatively stable.
