After all this time the HEAD~ syntax has suddenly started making sense to me -- this is the syntax for backup files in vim, so HEAD~ is the "backup" i.e. previous version of HEAD.
living in the uk, and having lived/worked in america a few times, this is one of the things I could not get used to. I'm definitely not a fan of having to have a car, but america seems to make it a requirement if you want to live in any city.

What is that? Not being sexist? Surely you aren't implying sexism is a one way street, because that would be as dumb as implying racism is only from white people towards black people.
My father-in-law worked on the Rover project, a nuclear engine intended to get us to Mars. In much less than 180 days because it wouldn't be a ballistic orbit, it would be powered.

A test burn had a coolant problem (nothing wrong with the engine; the test fixture coolant) and it melted down on the pad. They had to blow their budget on cleanup, and Congress was de-funding space and they didn't get any more money.

So sad.

I thought Apple's new wireless headphones were standard Bluetooth. Do you have any info about this?
"...some people want to keep making that worse so we can populate the world with even more sheeple who have even more iphones."

That sentence is horrible. We're talking about living, breathing, thinking human beings not "sheeple". And to equate people who have dreams, hopes, and aspirations to a lot of mindless animals whose only desire is to destroy the planet and play on iphones is an egregious misrepresentation of reality.

If we want to make our planet better for all its inhabitants we need to be clear and honest about the facts and our goals. I happen to think our primary goal should be human flourishing, self-actualization and happiness. If you think our primary goal should be the elimination of species extinction or something else - I don't want to put words in your mouth - we could discuss that...
"While private gunrunners continue to thrive, the world's biggest arms suppliers are the U.S., U.K., Russia, France, and China. They are also the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council."

Yuro Orlov: "I do rub shoulders with some of the most vile, sadistic men calling themselves leaders today. But some of those men
are the enemies of your enemies. And while the biggest arms dealer in the world is your boss, the President of the United States, who ships more merchandise in a day than I do in a year, sometimes it's embarrassing to have his fingerprints on the guns. Sometimes he needs a freelancer like me to supply forces he can't be seen supplying. So, you call me evil, but unfortunately for you, I'm a necessary evil."

I have absolutely nothing against Ruby but it seems that in general people already think that it's not hip so very little new projects are being made with it. Node is the new "hip" thing currently, not Ruby.

In mine, not quite. All forms of merges are simple: resolve, add, commit. Inside a rebase I find it harder to memorize whether I need to to the add and/or commit or rebase --continue does it for me.

And conflicts from 'stash pop' are somewhat counterintuitive to handle.

I can't help but detect a weird affectation (a combination of proud and pushy) in the voice of the newscaster. I don't know Korean or any Asian language, so I can't tell, is that a normal newscaster voice for North and South Korea?
reply
None of this has anything to do with my argument.
>First, North Korea is not a nation defending borders. It is a personal fiefdom that deserves neither the name "nation" nor the respect it entails.

That's like, your opinion man. Other fiefdoms, especially rich in oil and fundamentalism, seem to be respected just fine, with their monarchs et al.

>Second, past colonialism does not establish a moral equivalency with the mass-scale starvation, systemic imprisonment, and wholesale torture occurring right now in North Korea.

Isn't some other country the number one in the world in terms of imprisonment? That has like 5% of the world's population, but 25% of it's prison population? And where blacks are disproportionately imprisoned?

Another sadly all too common trope is for people in glasshouses to throw stones, or even worse to look at "the speck of sawdust in their brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in their own eye".

And of course it's "all in the past" (as if colonialism is ancient history),and hundreds of thousands have not died and whole countries been destabilized in the past 15 years, with BS offensives and pretexts like WMDs and such.

>Third, even assuming for the sake of argument that those events were every bit as terrible as the current nightmare in North Korea

What "nightmare" that's any different than any run of the mill dictatorship supported and sponsored by "holier than thou" countries (not to mention beasts like Pinochet)?

There's imprisonment, hunting of dissidents and other stuff, but nothing beyond the ordinary. And if it wasn't for embargoes there wouldn't be much starving either.

Suharto's Indonesia was sponsored to hunt down and kill 1 million or so dissidents -- but those were lefties, so it doesn't count. Plus it was 40 to 20 years ago, ancient history.

Most of the "nightmare" seems to be the same kind manufactured truth used time and again to install dirty lackeys in yet another place (like the dictator's uncle being thrown to the dogs and other inanities). Libya and Iraq today are worse than with their dictators, and as for Syria, their legitimate guy looks like a bargain compared to the fundamentalist madmen that control those parts now.

I've never seen those mocking the "and you're lynching negroes" argument doing it for anything else than to defend their double standards.

It's always: "Sure, we do X bad thing, but it doesn't matter, because it was in the past, or because what's important now is to fight the Y bad thing, or because that doesn't absolve Y".

And, yes, it doesn't absolve Y, but it bloody puts it in perspective. And it also doesn't absolve X, so why those mocking the "and you're lynching negroes" line never seem to have a problem with the X, e.g. the negro lynching but always with what the other side does? Maybe they should begin by fixing their own glass house instead of telling others how to fix their?
In Chile, the mining companies in the North use a disproportionate amount of energy. They are located in one of the driest deserts in the world and could easily supply their power needs from solar with minimal impact. Instead they continually fight to build dams in pristine temperate rain forest in the South.
But you can't forget where the meaning comes from. I'm sure lots of people use "nigger", confederate flags, or "banana republic" without any malice too, but it doesn't mean that the people who hear it don't hear the malice.

It's not about English vs Spanish. It's not just a false cognate like "compromise" vs "compromiso" or "preservative" vs "preservativo". It's a term loaded with political meaning. It's about US vs America. Sure, the US is powerful and has managed to convince most of the world, even the parts that don't speak English, that the US is the only America worth talking about. On the other hand, Canada isn't entirely happy about not being America either:

Well, I was about to write out a long and detailed reply about how having more money means also having more choices, and how I think there is a substantive difference there which you overlook. I further intended to point out that I'm actually very unusual among my cohort, and that it is inadvisable to draw general conclusions about that cohort on the basis of what I say about myself or how I say it.

Before I could get more than a few words into all of that, though, I got an email from my father, who told me that my distant cousin who nearly died when his meth lab blew up is in fact permanently paralyzed in the lower half of his body, and between that and other injuries will almost certainly require lifelong care.

I may be a sarcastic asshole of a redneck, but I am also an amazingly fortunate redneck. I have made a successful career in software engineering, which enables me to earn more in a year than both my parents combined. A lot of that I send back home. I cannot send enough. I do not make enough. In that light the perspective you express strikes me as thoughtlessly facile. I did a poor job of expressing that in my last comment, which was written in the heat of the moment. Perhaps this one, with the benefit of reflection, will make it more clear.

It's a shame you are unable to downvote that comment, if you feel it is warranted. Perhaps someone else will step up and do so.
As long as the language specification is updated to specify ordered keys in dicts then this is good. The big complaint about key ordering I remember hearing is that it was basically a side effect of the CPython implementation (back in the 2.X days), but not part of the spec.

If the spec won't be updated to specify that dict keys must be ordered, then I agree with you.

EDIT: ganduG clarified below that this is just an implementation change. No bueno.

I just got off a call discussing the problems of technical teams where introverts get thrown into the deep end by being promoted to team leads etc. often without any kind of support.

I suffered through being in that position myself early in my career, and people under me suffered as a result, and I had no follow up or help whatsoever in terms of obtaining the skills to deal with it. It took a lot of time to recognise the problem and "fix it".

It still saps me of energy to spend time actively reaching out to people, but I've learned strategies to work around it (e.g. setting appointments to talk to people so I can't get out of it without being rude prevents me from just indefinitely postponing it), and "compensate" by ensuring I allocate "quiet time" to recharge.

There were also a lot of little things I had to learn. E.g. I eventually learned that simply walking around the office now and again and asking people how they were doing got people to report far higher satisfaction with my level of engagement, even if I spent less time actually responding to issues.

My managers never engaged with me that way when I started leading teams (I once had a manager that didn't actually talk to me for about two years - I passed on status reports once a week and that was pretty much it), so I didn't either for a long time. It turned out to be a very "low touch" method of showing interest that didn't wear me down but gave very positive results.

A lot of teams struggle with bad to non-existent training of people who get promoted into management positions, and that problem gets far worse with people whose "default" is to not spend a lot of time talking to people, and it puts a strain both on the team and the person put into that position that could be reduced very quickly with some basic training and some coaching.

I actually occasionally take on contracts to do coaching for technology managers because I love helping people shortcut all the time I wasted on it when I first started managing teams.
If the whole issue is "Copyleft Good; Permissive Bad" (as implied by "But championing "we also allow proprietary forks" is not helping any users of free software."), then there is nothing more to discuss.

There are places for permissive FOSS licenses, weak copyleft and strong copyleft. If you don't agree with that (and even the FSF does!), then no matter what, any discussion or debate is moot.

Is it really a zoning issue or is it simpler than that? I'd assume that in this market where debt is cheap, people with high income can leverage more and thus pay net higher prices. This results in a certain type of housing increasing in price/sqft whereas low income housing would not see as much of an increase due to limited ability of low income people to borrow as much.

Net result is that a developer can profit quite a bit more from luxury housing than affordable housing. If you are a developer (which presumably means a for-profit business) and have a choice between the two, you naturally decide to go after the higher profit option. Can't say I'd blame them either.

This is where incentives need to be provided to balance the profit equation. If they could make the same amount of profit, or gain other business benefits, I imagine the problem would start solving itself.

There is a high end product. I don't need a high end product, but that's all there is. So I have to go for it.

Suddenly, there's a cheaper, lower end product that meets my needs. I go for that, someone who needs or wants the higher end product can go for that.
Sure, experience matters and some technologies get over-hyped. I was referring to the more specific case of dismissing a technology solely because it is a rehash or has failed in the past. For example, dismissing Docker because of LXC or FreeBSD jails. Or dismissing Node.js because it uses cooperative multitasking. Or dismissing SaaS because the "thin client model was tried and failed" (yes, just a decade ago, SaaS was considered over-hyped).
Nope :(

Apple is telling people that if you don't use exclusively Apple products, they don't want you as a customer anymore.

That's what this boils down to.
I don't think so. Not until there's a true unified standard (on the Android side at least).

Maybe I'm wrong. I'll check back in 4 years.
Unlike all of those technologies, analog audio is basically a solved problem. You can plug decades old headphones into a modern smartphone, or modern headphones into an ancient transistor radio, and it all Just Works. It was a beautiful triumph of engineering, some small refuge of permanence in this age of planned obsolesce and change for the sake of change.

The real goals behind the removal of the headphone jack are DRM, extracting more money out of their peripheral industry, and the chance to make another kooky fashion statement.

My wife's phone is my "backup phone", so both of us would have to lose our phones at the same time for there to be a problem.
To each his own, of course. As a Git aficionado, I find Mercurial utterly baffling. Branches are permanent and global? You have to clone the repo to make a new thing I would call a branch? "hg log" shows you things that are not in the history of your current source tree? Mind boggling.

Why is Apple taking so much flak? They aren't even the first and no strangers on pulling this kind of move when it messes up with their vision and plans for hardware.

LeEco's latest smartphones and the new Moto Z all ditched the 3.5mm jack in favour of USB-C only.

Apple also figured now is a good time to do it and had a good hardware design reason to do it.

People that have 3.5mm jack only hardware can keep using their current phones, no one is making them buy the iPhone 7 and even if they do, because it comes with the adapter they'll still be able to continue using card readers and such.

As with all technology being phased out in a certain field, at some point people will have to refresh their peripherals. Backwards compatibility that compromises their design and vision is usually not something Apple has ever been concerned: they'll maybe give you workarounds (adapter) or sell you one.

Personally I was hoping they would also just go for USB-C on everything, but guess they need to justify their investment on the Lightning port's development and keep control over its function.

Charge and listen to music on headphones? You are doing it "wrong". Not wrong, just "Apple wrong" - never did it, but can see how a lot of people do at the end of the day commuting home.

Clearly Apple wants to push everyone wireless, which kind of makes sense if you buy into their ecosystem and vision (Macbook, iPad, iPhone, iWatch), since it allows you to switch device without unplugging anything, but also, in this case, those wireless earphones might (pure speculation here) be the embryo of their "Google Glasses", something they can now build upon and experiment.

EDIT: Just came across a 2010 video of Steve Jobs pretty much summing up what I tried to convey, which is Apple is just being Apple and shows coherence with what happened with the 3.5mm jack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65_PmYipnpk

This was my thought as well.

I haven't really followed the discussion around the decision, so perhaps I am missing something, but my initial feeling is that either ordering should be required by the spec and implemented, or the ordering should be randomised.

But, that is the outcome of about 1 minute's thought :)
Used to be that disabling zoom was recommended, and was in all the boilerplates. But these days it's recommended not to disable zoom, to allow a user to zoom if it's too small.

Unfortunately, the software and to some extent the network assumes frequent upgrades.

Despite having a relatively newish s4, the number of apps that simply won't work with my phone is astonishing. And once I passed the 2-year point of ownership, the number of network glitches has noticeably increased (dropped calls, messages taking hours to go through, loss of 4G for hours for no apparent reason).

I wouldn't be surprised if some of these glitches are intentional.
