I think there will be a very small subset of developers who are confused by the Command Line Interface of Git, but not confused by the Command Line Interface of this thing.

Sure, there are tons of developers who find Git confusing. But the solution they're looking for is something like Git Extensions that removes the silliness of memorizing and typing a bunch of commands in to a terminal. In terms of Global Confusion Index, this only drops us from 98 to 97.

A simple GUI version of this same concept would seem a much better plan.

If helping people is what we care about, perhaps we should consider whether unrestricted immigration or basic income/other welfare state policies will help more. From what I can tell, neither BI nor traditional welfare states can come even remotely close to the benefits of open borders. It kind of makes one wonder whether helping people is the real goal of BI proponents.

As for the "sudden influx," I think it's important to recognize what the real problem is. In Europe, Muslim immigrants seem to rape and commit other crimes a lot more than natives.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3317978/Torn-apart-o...

I say "seem to" because stats on this are notoriously hard to come by. For example, Sweden censors that data in their crime statistics. Similarly, various police agencies seem to ignore crimes in order to avoid seeming racist.

I suspect if Europe imported more peaceful immigrants, or even had a credible plan to handle this issue, the sudden influx would be less of a problem.

NYC and London have faced a sudden influx of foreigners over the past 15 years but no one really cares. Why worry about some Indian or Russian working at a bank, doing yoga after work and then going home?

I think they are concerned that there may still be some unexplored patents which apply to Opus. If they don't track the numbers, then they may need to pay the absolute maximum license fee to a (future, unknown) patent holder because they can't bound the number of licensees.

That is, of course, assuming there are still IP issues. I'm not sure what made them concerned about that, if anything tangible.

Notably, the Opus license is voided when you enter Opus-related patent litigation with an Opus user. I think many(most?) companies which hold patents relevant to Opus also license Opus for their products; so they would be trading patent litigation for copyright litigation.

From the Opus licensing page¹:

When it comes to patents, it is difficult to say much without making lawyers nervous. However, we can say something quite direct: external counsel Dergosits & Noah has advised us that Opus can be implemented without the need to license the patents disclosed by Qualcomm, Huawei, France Telecom, or Ericsson. We can also say that Mozilla is confident enough in Opus to ship it to hundreds of millions of Firefox users. Similarly, Cisco and Google are also supporting Opus in some products. More companies are expected to do the same soon.

Mozilla invested significant legal resources into avoiding known patent thickets when designing Opus. Whenever possible, we used processes and methods that have been long known in the field and which are considered patent-free. In addition, we filed numerous patent applications on the new things we invented to help defend the Opus community. As a result, Opus is available on a royalty-free basis and can be deployed by anyone, including other open-source projects. Everyone knows this is an incredibly challenging legal environment to operate in, but we think we’ve succeeded.

Also because it's your authoritative datastore you don't need to worry about keeping your secondary indexing system (solr/elasticsearch etc) in-sync.

Radio Free Asia (RFA) is a private, nonprofit international broadcasting agency of the United States government[2] that broadcasts and publishes online news, information, and commentary to listeners in East Asia while "advancing the goals of U.S. foreign policy."

The source cited is Radio Free Asia not the report itself. Radio Free Asia does not link to any additional sources.

That is not to say that the story is inaccurate, but rather that the claims are not well substantiated and that the source is not apolitical.

While I can believe the claim it's better than make, it would be way more interesting to see how it compares to Bazel. After using it (or rather Blaze) at Google and now Bazel at Improbable, I consider it the gold standard in build tools.

If anything, I wish Google would open source the rest of the build "ecosystem" that together with Blaze let you build the whole codebase in seconds. It was pretty amazing.

That said I recently went for over two months without reading in the evenings - when I resumed reading (a friend literally pushed a book on me and said it needed to be read within a fortnight) I became notably calmer and less stressed.

To have colleagues note that none of the workload had changed yet I was significantly more with it was startling, and the only change I could identify was the book.
Hence the "or". If you can't walk, just lay down in peace for a bit or read a book.
It mentions 1622 current clinical trials. Of those, how many would be expected to be approved in a rational system?

I wonder if the huge %age is due to a lot of low-quality applications mixed in with the serious ones. If the barrier to apply is sufficiently low, you would expect a Sturgeon's law dynamic.
The ancestors of that pussy in Paris built an advanced society with equal rights, education, respect, etc. That's why people born from a French pussy deserve that, while people from other societies do not.

Is it our fault that other people that have had the same hundreds of years to build advanced societies haven't done it? Do we have to literally live worse because of it?
Considering past occurrences https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Chinese_milk_scandal and general behaviour in online market places (my last experience was that the product was advertised to be shipped from Germany (expect fast delivery), but arrived a month later from China) then it should not come as very big surprise (I am not saying that this is normal or acceptable, but that it is not very surprising).

My question is that what is the cause of this general fraudulent behaviour? Does it have some historical roots? Does it come from lack of actual functioning oversight?

Another anecdotal case: try asking for directions in China. Even when person does not know the correct directions, they do not mind to direct you, and when confronted, they refuse to admit that they do not know. Is this mindset result of constant fear of repressions, or it runs deeper into the history of the society (say it is also present in Taiwan?).

I am not accusing anybody in anything, I just would like to understand.
> It says the git works really well because the CLI offers a simple way to "undo" any mistakes you've made.

This let's the design off the hook to easily. Yes, on the one hand this is a great feature, but on the other, you are deleting and restarting your workspace. It's not a great UX, it's just a simple workaround for a bad one.

Frankly, I'm too lazy to find a citation, but IIRC (99% sure) revelations from Al Qaeda documents have included that they knew exactly what they were doing, and the plan was to strike fear and cause economic costs – they viewed it as a response to ever-decreasing availability of funds and a recognition they didn't have the backing of enough civilians or soldiers to do something as ambitious as found a nation.

ISIS' founding logic was Al Qaeda failed, and surely that was because it wasn't ambitious enough, and not pure enough. The solution was to rebase on fundamentalism and use the remnants of the Iraqi army to create a safe space for a caliphate to rule.

Of course, I'm offering absolutely nothing to back my assertions here, so it's fair to ignore this. :)

If this is true about Chinese clinical data? More generally, if there is any simple tag that covers fraud at this scale? Other people working under that tag will experience deleterious effects for years to come.

The only way I see out of this is a rigorous, self-imposed body of standards. Even then I'm not sure that this will be sufficient.

Think of all those people, all of that money, all of the hundreds of thousands of hours of research. For nothing. Actually, it's worse than nothing because it's been flooding the system with fake data.

In particular, git violates the universal *nix convention that you can operate on a file using a full or relative path regardless of your current directory.
And probably my biggest objection is that it's such a seductive feel good license--bathe in the glow that comes from contributing to the commons without worrying that $EVIL_CORP might (horrors!) make money off your work--that it's really a very natural license for people who haven't thought about the issues to pick.

Non-derivative has problems too. I find it somewhat ironic that CC partly has its roots in the idea of remix culture, which ND doesn't allow. OTOH, I see reasonable arguments to be made with some types of works for preserving whatever original artistic vision went into their creation.

You're not being downvoted for your point. You're being downvoted for not contributing to the conversation in a meaningful way and being sarcastic (the poor man's whit).

Say something more like: Today the aggregate amount of people that can travel massive distances is much greater than it was before. No longer are a few thousand migrants traveling through a country every year, today it's literally millions. Control comes with that. As technological advancement makes access easier, the need to control that access becomes more important. An obvious recent tale of similarities is the internet.

Having lived in an apartment that is probably could be considered "tiny house size" at 250 square feet with my wife, just why?

I was living there with my wife and we couldn't really cook, the bathroom sucked (literally 1.5 square foot of walking space), we couldn't do stuff like yoga, I'd I wanted to order a box of something I had to be careful, pets would have been awful (especially cats)...

I can go on and on, overall it was probably a worth while experience. However, our quality of life dropped dramatically while we lived there (for about a year). I'm so glad I now can actually stretch if I want to, make food, setup a desk for each of us, etc.
If you're going to be making such a drastic change, you ought to be doing a lot more testing than was done here.

Your data is the single most important thing to your company. A couple of days of testing is insufficient to validate such a change there.

You should be paranoid, and conservative.

Don't make unnecessary changes. When you do have to make changes, test everything thoroughly.

Testing thoroughly means more than just functional testing of your code and benchmarking.

At the very least, it means standing up a second db cluster and having production queries going through to both for weeks so you can see precisely how things will behave, and also just as importantly so you can confirm that there has been no data loss.

It is always so tempting to use shiny shiny in tech. It's a always exciting, especially when it promises to make life better. It requires discipline, though, to quench that enthusiasm and approach production environments with appropriate care. You can not afford to mess up there.

Bluntly speaking, you got very lucky this time. You, and your customers, can't rely on you being lucky.

The IRA is a perfect analogy. If the logic that calls ISIS Saudi is correct, then it's similarly valid to call the IRA a British creation.

If you are unfamiliar with the reducto ad absurdum argument, you can familiarize yourself with it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum

At the moment ISIS does promote regime change in Saudi Arabia, so the regime there really don't like them related to that, but the former history is very different.

Yes, and similarly if the IRA jailed rapists and allowed Christianity in territory they controlled, I doubt the UK would object much to that.

The fact that two European groups have cultural similarities doesn't mean that one sponsors the other. The same is true for two middle eastern groups.

Fundamentally, I bring up the IRA because I'm trying to explain by analogy to something more familiar. You seem to be viewing all middle eastern organizations as being somehow monolithic and identical simply because they are more similar to each other than they are to the west. But that's simply a fallacy.
GNU make starts of with targets, and then talks the build graph (target -> source) to find source files which will re-build the targets. And GNU Make has to scan the files.

Tup starts off with the list of sources which have changed, and then walks the build graph (source -> target) to find out which targets need to be rebuilt. And Tup gets notified of file changes.

So where Make scans all targets and all source files, Tup gets told which source file has changed, and then rebuilds only the necessary targets.

That being said, the following comparison is a bit odd:

http://gittup.org/tup/make_vs_tup.html

I don't think it's a requirement of GNU Make that building a project with N source files takes exponential time. I think its just that the GNU Make code is terrible.
It's just for giving an idea about hardness. Of course GPU(s) or/and parallel processing far more better than that. We will put results with clusters and GPUs soon.
I like git a lot and wish everyone standardized on it. I use the CLI almost exclusively but from my perspective it's terrible: cryptic and very inconsistent.

Looking back at my RCS history (RCS->VSS->MKSSI->CVS->SVN->git) I have to say that all of them were either hard to use or plain bad (VSS).

The problem RCSs are trying to solve is hard, that's why the tools are simultaneously indispensible and frustrating.
This is good catch, but considering the history of such programs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Free_Europe/Radio_Libert...), it is that they publish rather information that has been suspended by local governments than something that has been made up.

Of course you should be cautious with what they publish, but this applies to every published information.
To an extent, technology (and the internet in particular) has made the world a smaller place and reduced the significance of borders. I heard a lot of arguments during the campaign around immigration and jobs but they didn't talk about the impact of technology.

It may be useful for local payment platforms e.g. if you started this in China you might advertise it so that users can easily pay using AliPay. Perhaps it's a business or regulatory issue - presumably the website takes a cut of the payment and working only in your home currency simplifies that.

Other issues are that you can easily deal with support requests in your own language and timezone (and cultural effects matter a lot too). If you live in India and deal only with Indians then you can respond to problems immediately. If all your jobs are in the US and all your freelancers are in India then you have a disparity there.

The simple answer to your question is that for the freelancer it doesn't, but for the platform it may simplify things a lot to keep it local. In fact at a hyperlocal level (say a mid size town) there may even be a more lucrative market than going global because your USP is specifically connecting devs and companies in the same place.
