"There's also a p/partial flag that allows you to interactively select segments of files to commit."
http://gitless.com/#gl-commit

But looking at it, this seems like it would strongly couple the decision to include a part of a file with the commit process rather than something that I can be thinking about as I write the change. I think I'd likely find that irritating.
Read icehawk's comment below regarding infrastructure. It's not the lack of works of art, architectural details, or coffee shops that's the issue. As an occasional rider you don't know, but the station hasn't scaled its ridership over the years. Coming up from the tracks or down to there, during rush hour or even a typical weekend, is a slow nightmare. Frequently commuters coming up and down colide and cause a deadlock, as there are no designated up and down areas. The layout is old. The station is large and poorly organized. I was in a very busy station with a bad rap in London a few weeks ago, called Victoria, and while the British complain about everything this station handles multiple commuter lines and several Tube lines with sophisticated aplomb. It's wide and open, like I see the new Penn design is intended to be.

It's not an issue of beauty, it's an issue of efficiency and scale. The infrastructure hasn't scaled.
I guess I was imagining more of an Interplanetary Transport System that was at least self-sustaining if not profitable.

The lack of resources on the Moon could be solved by finding an appropriate near-earth asteroid to mine. The ideal 1st candidate based on potential mineral wealth ($87 billion, but I don't believe those numbers are very accurate) and proximity to earth (a measly .1au, or 9 million miles during its solar periohelion :) is Anteru I believe.

Here we are, on the precipice of colonizing Mars in possibly my 80 yr old father's lifetime, witnessing perhaps mankind's greatest and boldest feat yet and I'm getting greedy and thinking "Yawn, who cares. Let me know when the Interplanetary TRADE System is profitable and indefinitely self-sustaining."

I'd try to visit Mars at least once . When it reaches a level of infrastructure and economic development of early 18th century British or other Euro colonies is when it's looking likely I would consider making a one way trip there.
The other thing about Penn is that the city dealt with the homeless by removing most of the seating. If you aren't an Acela passenger, you can go into a restaurant or you can stand. I don't really mind standing, but I find it annoying as the only real choice.

No, I've never heard of Bosch or BMW hiring shade tree mechanics to design engines. I'm relatively confident that this isn't a real issue.

I think your concern about weekend mechanics is also unwarranted because most of them aren't morons. The ones who are will be morons regardless and manage to destroy cars regardless.
There's a forthcoming paper at PLAS (co-located with ACM CCS, in late October) that applies formal reasoning to a Rust-like type system.

The contribution here is a formalization of borrowing and ownership semantics very close to Rust's, plus a sketch of how one would prove that these semantics give memory safety. The techniques can probably be adapted to an analysis of Rust itself.

I very much enjoyed reading this article, it explains a lot of the pain and calls out a lot of the current broken designs.

While the conclusions are correct, I feel like they could be simplified. If you try to use the vocabulary of the broken system you will get complicated phrases like "denormalization engines" (which I very much hope does not catch on despite agreeing with it).

Instead, if you look at correct systems - like Elm, Rx, Datomic.com , or https://github.com/amark/gun (my own, obviously I am biased) you get less complicated ideas:

- Event Driven.
- Data Streams.
- Data Flow.
- Data Pipeline.
- Reactive Programming.

All of these, despite "FRP" itself being jargony, solve the majority of the article's complaints. Largely because the solution he comes to at the end is the same thing as FRP.

Good point. You walk into the diner implicitly trusting the line cook and the bread baker and so on. Very similar to the chain of trust implicit in the tech we use. Only I believe the chain of trust in the tech to be much longer and proven to have been repeatedly broken in recent decades. Also, line cooks have the luxury of tossing out loafs of bread that have moulded over.
Whatever benefit link local addresses offer can be realized today by not assigning a gateway. I think it's a long shot to hope that future devices will deliberately try to not be globally connected.
Given Mozilla's recent banging on about "core products" and "cost cutting", I'm a bit amazed that a PDF renderer isn't considered out of scope.

Things to consider doing
Big Banks Method Honest Software Review
If someone's primary perspective of the database is through the lens of an OO graph, they will write code that performs abysmally. Graph navigation from row to row is antithetical to all the power relational algebra gives you. That's the biggest risk: viewing the DB primarily as an object store.

For the app I work on, the DB is only viewed as an object store for very small sets of data - configuration, specifically. It's impossible to map it to objects in any realistically performant way for our user's data, not least because that would require the data round-tripping through the application. It's much, much more efficient to execute my multi-million row updates and inserts on the database server directly rather than drag the data down to the app, tweak it slightly, then persist it back.
I wonder too =). But it'll run like forever on a high res image. For high res image you want to use something like texture synthesis, see my reply to fitzwatermellow for more.
This. I can't test the staging area so I have zero interest in committing it. Actually I have less than zero interest; I would like my team to be prevented from ever creating untested commits.

I definitely agree that they are not 10x more amazing, but I also find that in the case of a company like google any kind of pay differential has far less of an impact. Employees at google get paid enough, and have such great benefits that they are easily in the top few percentages of the economy. The same can be stated about many tech companies and their employees. Engineer salary and benefits are very comfortable at this particular point in time, because it is very in demand, and requires high levels of skill.

It seems at least from what I've noticed that the companies with the highest differential in terms of rank and file -> CEOs, tend to be the ones with some of the lowest barriers to entry and the lowest skill levels. This is a subject that I would love to see a detailed study on because what "it seems like" is not always the reality of the situation.

I used Walmart precisely because besides being an extreme example, it is one of the largest employers in North America by a good margin.

> I find feature branches only useful for pull requests

I wasn't super clear in my top post, sorry. Mentioned a couple times in the thread, but as an alternative to a single stash, I would normally commit, not branch. Consider whether a WIP commit is that much easier than a stash, given that a commit is harder to lose.

I mentioned branches because that's the alternative to a multi-stash workflow, or to having a large time gap with a lot of work in-between stash & pop. Otherwise, my question is how much harder, really, is git commit & git reset --soft, compared to git stash & git stash pop?

> Then don't ever use those commands. I don't.

That seems like a great way to use stash safely. A couple others here mentioned using stash as an alternative to git reset. I'm in favor of that kind of stash usage, it's even safer & easer than losing something to a premature reset.
I understand that perfectly. You seem to be missing my point that using volatile assets as currency makes things really complicated because you can't easily plan based on their value.

Great point. It seems to me that people are categorizing anything that involves analytics as AI now:

"I asked Cortana to query our clickstream data and she said that men over the age of 50 like to click on Viagra ads."

This is not AI. Although there is some real research going on, it seems that everyone is jumping on the bandwagon and using AI as a buzzword.
Admittedly, there is a bit of a lie by omission in the statements of ICANN. By agreeing to hand the institution over to an international stage, we are agreeing to censor access to small websites or alternate-view websites that don't conform to the standards or views of the corporation in charge of the new ICANN. In effect, we would be blocking access to small websites, limiting freedom of speech over the internet, and possibly in the future having internet access begin to mirror the same level of restrictions that television has.

Then, the international corporation would decide what websites you can access, and if the website you want to have a look at doesn't adhere to the corporation's view, it will simply become inaccessible.

There is also the question of political relevance; that is, why the urgency? Why require that this be passed during the Obama administration just before an election, and without congressional input?

Many people are pretty excited that Mozilla is doing this Rust thing and trying to move the rendering engine to a safer language.
And now they start a project that:

a) wants to keep flash alive longer.

b) wants to replace their javascript (aka already memsafe) PDF renderer with a C++ one.

I mean I get that pdf.js is not perfect. It had some bad security vulns in the past. But pdfium also has a pretty bad wrap when it comes to vulns (I got plenty of bounties for it myself). But more than that: It's moving from a memsafe language back to C++. That doesn't seem to make any sense at all. If anything they should move their PDF renderer to Rust.

And Flash... please just let it die in peace and don't put any more effort into supporting it.
The scary thing is that some people have all these plans for their retirement, like working on their hobbies, or getting back into something creative. But once you finally get there, you might realize that you've lost whatever you had. Either you forgot how to do everything, or the field has moved on without you, or you lost the passion itself, which is the saddest thing.

I recently experienced some form of that. I just got back into things like music, acting, writing, and filmmaking after a very long hiatus. I was never really that good at anything, but now I feel very rusty. And everything I do is bad. And somehow I don't feel quite as creative as I used to be. But I'm going to keep working on it, because I feel like I need to have a change from software development. But if you asked me what I would do if I could retire right now and not have to worry about money, then it would be this, as well as working on electronics and software projects, maybe learning how to weld or do woodworking. There's a lot of fun things to do, and cool things to make. I guess that's not for everyone, though.

Even if you decide to pursue a fulfilling career where you enjoy everything about your job, don't let that be the only thing in your life. The world is much bigger than that.
Even when this is true, it doesn't necessarily solve the problem. Say you're 28 years old and you're running your first fund. You have a net worth of $500k (because you worked 100-hour weeks as a banker for a few years, paid your student loans, and saved up). You put $400k into your fund and raise $50M. You charge a 25% performance fee.

If you get 10% returns, that's $1.25M for you (at a possibly low tax rate, too) plus $40k on your own investment. If you lose 20%, you're out $80k. What's your incentive here?

Fantastic stuff. I love it! As with most meachine learning stuff and these very cool ideas (of which I am very hazy on, esp their categorizations) I immediately want to use it for our lab's brain work.

We have a LOT of 3-D images (per voxel is ~200nmx200nmx~600nm for a lot of 1028x1028 .tiff images all stitched together) and would love to feed these images BACKWARDS into this. IE we have the 'far field', and we want the 'elements' that make it up. Say we have a large amount of data on the Pituitary gland, and we want to compare the 'elements' of the Pituitary to the 'elements' of the hippocampus. We know a lot of these differences, but there may be 'something else' in there that we humans are not seeing. This may be of great use to use for disease pathology like Lewy Body Disease precursors.

> Also, if you end up committing only parts of files, then how do you know that what you commit works?

Because one part was, say, whitespace-errors corrected by my editor, or added/updated comments, or removed dead-and-commented code paths, while the other part was an actual logic change. There are many reasons to modify a file of source-code beyond making the code behave differently, but frequently those aspects come together as "oh, I'll just fix this while it's staring me in the face" and must be picked back apart later.

As someone who is obese and working on it, my suspicion is that it's mostly sugar. If you look at "processed" foods you'll see tons of sugar, which is both very bad and not very filling. One thing different from home cooked sugary treats is lots of spices and additives like salt and MSG that make you feel more hungry and thirsty which keeps you eating more of the high sugar non filling processed foods in a vicious cycle.
Thanks! Good to see a blog. I'm very excited about Servo; like I was saying, I just really hope it won't get killed off before it reaches the finish line and replaces Gecko.

Why, though? What's the difference between a staging area that you convert into a commit, and an initially-empty commit that acts as a staging area, that you "commit" by just not modifying it any more, and instead creating a new empty commit (new staging area) to work in?

They're bijective mappings of the same data, with the same actions triggered at the same points in a workflow. The only difference is what you label the actions.

To go further: how do you feel if you think of all your un-pushed commits as simply "a chain of staging areas"? What if "committing" was something that happened at git-push time, and until then, you just created staging-area after staging-area and populated them with patch-chunks? Because this would also be a bijective mapping, involving the same actions in the same places.
