What the heck is stupid or racist about the quote I posted? Here it is, again:

'Until August 1914 a sensible, law-abiding Englishman could pass through life and hardly notice the existence of the state, beyond the post office and the policeman. He could live where he liked and as he liked. He had no official number or identity card. He could travel abroad or leave his country for ever without a passport or any sort of official permission. He could exchange his money for any other currency without restriction or limit. He could buy goods from any country in the world on the same terms as he bought goods at home. For that matter, a foreigner could spend his life in this country without permit and without informing the police.'

There's nothing in there about race! Not a single thing.

> Quite frankly the idea that we should treat all ideas with civility and respect doesn't really cut it in reality.

Well, since you started the incivility: you're a complete and utter dingbat. Not every issue is about race. This issue isn't about race.

Things like memories are not well understood from what I've gathered as a Master's Student in cognitive science.

I mean, it is thought to be stored in the form of persistent patterns in neurons and we know certain areas of the brain that are vital for the formation of memories. But there is no clear model of how memories are formed.

There has been rapid increase in understanding of such things lately and I would say neural networks give some insight and ways to explore and experiment with different configurations further.

A physical model like this could probably serve as a proof of concept and maybe help further knowledge in the are, but I suspect computerized simulations will serve this purpose better.

tldr; as much of a layman I believe we know too little about the brain to make a proper physical brain.
Creating a layer of young intelligent people with access to information and exposure to foreign culture... This can be dangerous.
While the Nokia management did do wrong choices, they were clearly not stupid people. Nokia did after all do quite well for many years under their command. When the mobile phone business had gone south, they must have thought about different scenarios and how to save the rest of the company in case mobile phones don't recover.

At that time, it would have been quite reasonable to come to the conclusion that if Nokia jumped fully to the Microsoft bandwagon, they might be eventually buy the business for strategic reasons even if did not do so well. And if this was then plan, then recruiting a Microsoft man and person with good relationship to Microsoft CEO was a reasonable choice.
And probably slower than an iPhone 5s.
Honestly I don't really understand how is it possible that google throws out a phone that is slower than is predecessor (the Nexus 5) and still manages to sell a huge amount of devices.
Doesn't seem to exist, sadly, Android or otherwise. There are no good phones of that size any more and I can see no hint that any company will ever make one again.

I have a Sony Xperia Z5 Compact. This is often recommended to people asking for a small phone, and it's a very nice bit of hardware, but it's still too big.

> Do people not entertain at their homes anymore?

I think about this a lot too. I have a real minimalist streak and occasionally entertain fantasies of radically downsizing my life. 95% of the time, I could be quite happy in a few hundred feet.

But that other 5% of the time, I'm having friends over and cooking or entertaining. At that time, I really appreciate having more space.

> Also, if the answer is just to go to restaurants/bars for all social events, that would seem to be more expensive in the long run.

Unless you entertain a lot, I think owning your own home large enough to entertain is the more expensive option in the long run.
Good advice, but I bike for exercise. I doubt I can read and bike safely :)
No one will be safe until governments stop hoarding 0-days. Until we all realize we live in a glass house, the hacks will continue. The best solution is to split the NSA and similar agencies into two. One for developing new tools that produces safer code and finding flaws and reporting them to companies so they get patched. The second for offense.

What's with the "collaborative" open offices? Now that we're passed peak Agile, is collaborative the next fad?

It can't be cost. Primo office space is $30-$40/sqft/year. A 100 sqft personal office would cost $4000/year.

I recently interviewed quite a few places. Big fancy modern offices. Common spaces. Foosball tables. And all the devs shoved into a corner, working shoulder to shoulder, desks facing each other. Like slaves on a war galley.

I'm an extreme extrovert. Open offices suck. If you want me to be productive, give me some me space and me time for head's down uninterrupted concentration.

While I'm ranting...

"Agile" (whatever that is) and "collaborative" (ditto) are mutually exclusive. Cite: The Tyranny of Structurelessness essay.

I really want to know where these whackadoodle ideas come from. Then maybe we can do something to mitigate it.

I've assumed management self actualization blather is management's way of asserting their self-importance while screwing labor. Know your place you worthless keyboard monkey.

If you had to explain that your party stands for in a simple comment, what would you say it is?
I would have a hard time swallowing the argument that we pay scientists too much, or that society respects them too much. A distant observer might think this could be the case since, from their perspective, what they see as "scientists" are celebrated professors, showered with job stability, upper-middle-class incomes and book deals. But those lucky sods are vastly outnumbered by postdocs and tenure-track faculty, who work thankless hours at minimal pay and who could put their brains to work anywhere else for better reward. Those are the "typical scientist," on average, these days, and if we paid them any less they could barely afford to eat.

The problem is the imbalance- a postdoc really really wants to get tenure someday, because the only alternative is for his career to peter out and to end up working ignominiously in industry (as a second-rate software engineer, most likely.) And the number of tenure positions that could possibly be available is an order of magnitude fewer than the number of smart people competing for them. So he'll possibly "cut corners" to get there, despite the devotion to his field that made him choose that career and not something reasonable, like finance or software engineering. Academia is tenure or bust- there's no stable middle option.

There is a correction under way as people start to realize that academia is no longer a feasible career path, in the same way that the NFL isn't. So I'm hopeful that things will stabilize in regards to scientific integrity regardless- but, then we'll have to figure out who is going to do the science when we can't rely on an army of poorly paid geniuses.
> stashing is dangerous. I've seen many students loosing work with a stash pop requiring a merge which ended badly.

`pop` will no longer drop the stash if there is an error applying it; it did in the past.

There is a point where it is worth having at least one person on a team study the internals of Git vs. struggling with it constantly and possibly losing work---it will save time, energy, and work in the long run.

In the stash case, `git reflog` would immediately allow you to recover the lost stash. If you're in deep shit, `git fsck` is valuable until the commits are GC'd. Even if you don't remember the commands, you'll know where to look for them, or what to search for to find it. Or even understand that it's _possible_.

> nothing in the tool gives you enough context if you don't explicitly ask for it, which supposes you need to know you need it, and what "it" is.

There are numerous PS1-augmenting scripts available; git even comes with one. But I agree that it otherwise would be incredibly frustrating for beginners.

> branch switching is a hard

I've heard many criticisms when watching others learn Git and teaching others, but this is one of the only things that never comes up once they've done it a couple times. Stash and switch. Or commit WIP and switch.

> the whole syntax is impossible to discover, even for very common tasks: git checkout HEAD^ /file/path, git rm --cached, etc.

I learned pretty much everything I know about Git from experimentation and, most importantly, the manpages. If someone is unaware of manpages, the documentation is online. Failing to read is failing to discover, yes.

> git assumes you know what you are doing. Which means it let you destroy history with rebase, loose stuff with stash pop, create detached head, make force push, and all it all put yourself in many situations a beginner won't understand, and above all won't need.

Yes, this is fair. But also essential. I have recovered from more fucked situations that I could have imagined, and have helped others do the same---situations where I would have otherwise lost work.

But it's a matter of teaching someone fallbacks. If you accidentally screw up everything with a rebase on <branch>, `git reset --hard origin/<branch>`. If you can't remember that, open tig / gitk / a web interface / etc, find the hash, and reset to it. If you are on a detached head, check out a branch. You shouldn't be force pushing, but that's nothing the manpage can't help with.

It all comes back to the basic understand that nothing is ever deleted in Git until garbage collection. There is always a hash to recover. Sometimes I just lazily scroll up in my terminal and grab it.

But your first point:

> git checkout does so many different things. Git check file, git checkout branch, git checkout commit all do different stuff, and don't get me started on the option flags

Yes, this is unfortunate.

tl;dr: Research your tools! Poke around the manpages or online. Know what you don't know so that you know where to look later. And there is always e.g. gitk to fall back on for certain things---I see others on my team do that as well.
You make a really great point. What frustrates me about politics is the focus on how you present something more so than what you stand for. I agree entirely about the train wreck in Germany. They go hand in hand to some extent but at the end of the day what you stand for is what you believe in and that is what we should be supporting.
There is a difference between "wanting other people's stuff for free" and believing that the length of copyright (life of author plus 120 years), the penalties for stealing content (5 years felony conviction plus $250,000 fine for each movie downloaded), and the techniques content owners use to get violators (mass sending of dubious lawsuits based on IP address then immediately offer to settle, similar to extortion) has made people angry at IP laws.
I don't think Edward Snowden will ever be granted asylum in Iceland.

Granting asylum to Snowden without the US' blessing has massive political consequences. If you look at the close ties Iceland has to the US I think it is obvious that this is not going to happen:

- The US are an important market for Icelandic goods, import sanctions will decimate the economy.

- Iceland and the US have trade agreements, which would most likely be rescinded, resulting in higher prices of goods in Iceland.

- Iceland is a party to extradition treaties.

- There is an US airbase in Iceland (although it is mostly just one hanger used for reconnaissance).

The only chance Snowden has to live in Iceland is if his status is downgraded to some kind of "person non grata" (i.e. he is free but will never be able to enter the US).

Incredibly misplaced belief.

>So I'm not disputing your opinion about Gitless, I'm criticizing how you presented it.

And you felt the need to completely exempt yourself from this criticism. Can't say I'm shocked at this point.

>I don't think the sentiment is ridiculous, because I think it's correct;

I am not sure what the point of saying this was, other than you really seem hellbent on derailing this. So, as per the last sentence in my previous post, you're both a hypocrite and a troll.

>clearly if you write it off as ridiculous then we're just talking past each other.

You aren't saying anything, so that's impossible to do.

> the reason is that you are acting in a way that I think deserves to be called out negatively, so as to hopefully dissuade you from acting that way.

Don't worry, not only am I here to correct the fact that people shouldn't post anything close to what you've been doing in this thread, I'm going to hammer the fact that you're an oblivious, hypocritical troll as well as the fact that there's a downvote button for this exact reason if you really felt that way. But clearly you have other motivations. Your post is pointless, inflammatory, and really deserves a look from a moderator at this point.

I'm not going to respond to you anymore past this.

Where I'm from, most people I know live in smaller apartments than these houses, often with two kids. The trick is to have the minimum number of rooms (only bedrooms + bathroom + kitchen + living room - or fewer), and to allocate a good portion to the living room, which can be adjusted according to the needs of the moment. Many households have extendable dining tables, foldable chairs (either hollywood-style or fully wooden), etc.

Having a couple stay for three months would be troublesome, but dinner for eight or ten is perfectly doable.

Well-said. We also know that git was originally hacked together in two weeks after Torvalds had to ditch the better-designed product they were using, Bitkeeper. It's almost as if a bunch of Linux developers kept hacking stuff into it with no concern for UX and telling people they were idiots if they didn't like mastering unnecessary complexity.

Meanwhile, unlike Git, I understood most of Gitless's commands before the tutorial started explaining them. Opposite experience I got with Git tutorials where I kept questioning why it would be done a certain, unintuitive way. This is definitely an improvement.
> Well, since you started the incivility: you're a complete and utter dingbat. Not every issue is about race. This issue isn't about race.

If you think you can have a discussion about immigration in 2016 using a "sensible, law-abiding Englishman in 1914" as your "look at what we've lost"... I just don't know what to tell you. The lack of you getting why there's a huge racial component to posting something like that... well, it's kind of beyond me.

Context matters, there's no reason to pretend like we've lost anything since 1914. The only people who have lost anything are the most privileged of people on this planet.

This isn't quite the same. Apple's platform is a closed garden. Hardware and software are bundled together and are inseparable. There can be no iPhone without iOS.

Nokia didn't do that. They had Symbian, Windows Phones and Asha to name a few.

What's happening here is Nokia taking their excellent hardware for which they were known for (remember those phones you could throw at a wall?), and sticking Android on it as the operating system - just like they would do with Windows Phone.
Nokia was known for the quality of its phones trough 90's up to mid 2000's.

American Giant: Made (and Making It) in the U.S.A
The Dolphin team is unbelievably talented. How talented? They've moved GC emulation to approximately where PSX emulation is today. Compare this to Dreamcast emulation, which barely works if you're lucky, or Xbox emulation, which is nonexistant.

But those projects aren't heavily worked on, so let's compare it to PCSX2. Dolphin is faster, and has better game support, and is actually emulating more powerful hardware.

OTOH, Dolphin doesn't have to deal with the PS2's... interesting design, and the horrors of the Emotion Engine.
We just recently had this discussion since we are gearing up for the elections. We agreed that besides the basic principles we hold, these 5 points should be emphasized during the run-up to the election:
1. Our constitution needs an upgrade.
2. More equitable distribution of our common property (thinking mostly that revenue from the fishing industry gets taxed properly).
3. Health care should be free.
4. The public should have a say in the legislation process.
5. Reclaim trust and fight corruption.
You probably use the word that translates as "youth". (Jugend, unge etc).

It was normal in Britain, examples are youth hostel, youth centre, Fountain of Youth.

But in the last 20 years or so, I think it's been used negatively so often ("drunken youths", "aggressive youths") that if you begin with "a group of youths..." most people will expect something bad. "A group of teenagers" or "a group of children" is neutral.

As an adjective, it's still fine. "Youth football team" and so on is fine.
The tiny home movement mostly compromises new builds that are architected with livability in mind through more efficient and clever uses of space than the average house.

They're still not for everyone, but comparing them to conventional studios isn't fair.

" I'm seeing terms like "elitist" being thrown around below for "git apologists" when it's simply a matter of learning a tool."

Some tools people encounter seem unintuitive and have a steep learning curve. Others that do the same thing are super easy to understand and learn. Git vs Gitless is a good example where Gitless instantly clicked with hardly a thought. That means it was a superior interface. That also means anyone telling people they need to suck it up and just accept bad interfaces that smart people were able to learn with enough wasted energy is a bad idea.

Reminds me of those guys when I first started dealing with Linux who told me I was just being slow or lazy for expecting an installer that just required a little bit of input like I had with Windows. Anyone should know everything about handling partitions, configuration of low-level graphics, init systems, whatever. These days, the installers are point-and-click for average case while including options for others. So, why did the Linux people tell me that early on? They were elitist snobs peddling bad UI's and seeing no value in good ones. That simple.
