It's hard to know what your problems are from such a vague description, but I've been using Fossil over HTTP on private LANs for years now. I only use Fossil over SSH when I need to tunnel to a remote server that can't forward HTTP out to where the client can see it.

Try this:

fossil clone http://fossil-scm.org x.fossil

Success? You just used Fossil over HTTP. :)

I have two guesses about what your problem was:

1. You didn't realize that Fossil normally listens on port 8080 by default, incrementing when it gets a bind failure, so that it could be on some higher port number, like 8082 if you have two other Fossil server instances running. If you need Fossil to bind to a specific port number, you need to pass -P to the "fossil server" command.

2. Your server machine's firewall blocks the Fossil listening port by default, and you didn't open it up.

Here's my "fossil server" wrapper script, which may help you the next time you try this:

#!/bin/bash
OLDPID=`pgrep fossil`
if [ -n "$OLDPID" ]
then
echo "Killing old Fossil instance (PID $OLDPID) first..."
kill $OLDPID

typeset -i i=1
while kill -0 $OLDPID > /dev/null 2>&1 && [ $i -lt 30 ]
do
if [ $i -eq 1 ]
then
echo -n "Waiting for it to die..."
fi
sleep '0.1s'
i=i+1
done
echo
fi

fossil server -P 3691 --repolist /museum > /dev/null &
echo Fossil server running, PID $!.

This is a Bash script, so for Windows you'd have to run it under either Cygwin or WSL.

It assumes your Fossils are stored in /museum — because where else would you keep fossils? — and that you like svnserve+1 as your Fossil port number. Adjust to taste.

To clone from such a server, say:

fossil clone http://myuser@myserver:3691/reponame reponame.fossil

To view its web pages, visit:

http://myserver:3691/reponame

That is, because we're serving a directory of Fossils in this case, you need to give the repository name to view a specific repository name. However, since we passed --repolist to "fossil server", if you visit the web root URL, you get a list of available repositories rather than an HTTP error.

I've heard the same thing. From what I understand, the issue is that Epic is growing faster than buildings can be built. Regardless, while a shared office is worse than a private office, it's way better than almost any other option. I've worked in a shared office with a partition, a cubicle farm, and an open office, and the shared office was the best work environment by a huge margin.
I see Conway's Law as a statement about the world, not a class of problems. Team size is capped by human nature, and systems will develop to mirror team sizes. The only solution is to find lower-communication "seams" for both your team boundaries and your system boundaries.

Abstraction layers around teams sounds like a good thing, as long as they abstraction layers make sense.
Because you'd rather your work related conversations stored in Slack? Google Hangouts? Skype? GoToMeeting? There are not very many on prem solutions that are very good, so do you not use any of them or is it specifically against Facebook and if the latter why so?
I still have hope some or all HardendedBSD features might get ported or reimplemented in FreeBSD 12. Too much low hanging fruit, and now that linux has been steadily closing the gap to grsec, the competition in mainstream kernel branches is on.
From my perspective, I see that several other skill-based professions assume novice hires, and emphasize a some sort of on-the-job training as part of career progression.

In software dev, as much as we have stack overflow and such where we can figure out trivia of the tools we have to work with, I guess we'll come to the realization that some kind of formalized training post-hire will be useful, especially as development becomes more specialized or domain specific.

I took a sabbatical for the last ~year and a half and the only reason I wanted insurance was on the off chance I got hit by a car and ended up with some catastrophically high bill. My deductible is something like 8000 dollars but I'd rather pay that than have to absorb 100,000 after an accident.
I agree with your perspective here and also think this qualifies as "from scratch." Would it still be "from scratch" if they bought all the components they used in this write-up as one kit?

I found that 'tech education' has rarely been successful with my parents and some of their tech-less peers. What was interesting is that mobile technology changed the game for them. I used to set up skype, screenshare, etc on their latest computer but they would not even use them 'cause it is still too complicated. These days, they can easily use the latest communication tools on mobile apps. It is quite amazing how mobile app design has penetrated and entirely new segment of the population.

A state also might not do the same. You might live in a place where the government would be likely to be generous with its property and encourage intellectual pursuits, but that isn't inherently any more true of government officials than it is of "the Hobby Lobby dude."
Git allows you to micro-manage your work by commiting often, and diffing against a previous known good state, with easy rollback an option all the way.

But this is not really friendly to issue in a PR for, so git also allows you to rewrite your commit history by squashing commits, by reordering commits, and basically cleaning up after the fact or before publishing for code-review, or public release or whatever,

If you decide that code you've written in one private repo logically belongs in another public one, you can create a new repo for the select files in your private repo which you want to share without losing version control information or any revision data.

Git has a flexible diff-engine and lets you for instance plug in pandoc for diffing word-processing files, letting you actually handle non-VCS friendly formats like MS Word through Git.

Git is modular and lets you plug in pretty much any thing you like.

And people like to, so there's modules for pretty much everything around.

Like VCS-bridges converting TFS and SVN repos to Git (and allowing you to merge seamlessly, while commiting back to the monolith).

Etc etc. The list goes on.

Git gives me the flexibility I need, to do pretty much anything I can imagine.

Except locking files. I'll hand you that one. It wont let me do that. But I can setup a central Git-server where I'll reject commits which tamper with pre-agreed "locked" files. So work-arounds obviously exist.

I'm not saying Git is perfect, but it works for me, for the needs I have. Which is more than I can say for TFS or SVN.

I am the opposite way. In my experience usage of signed where the underlying type is conceptually unsigned introduces subtle bugs. Whereas the defined behavior of unsigned wrap usually causes very obvious stalls and overflows. I have seen so many array access of -1 which never SEGV until you upgrade your compiler or change platform. Also pointers are typically unsigned, I suspect same-type operations are faster for array access... though I never have checked.
Most people send recruiter emails to spam. If a founder or a corporate recruiter reaches out it has much more value.
I mean the composite types that Julia offers. I was originally trying to use it to replicate some of the structure array that Matlab offers. Understandably this isn't the most efficient way to create a list, but it makes it so easy and clean to pass variables between functions when I'm trying to crunch some numbers quick. I tried getting used to calling sub-functions with a . (like Python) as well but didn't get too far.
I couldn't do anything in an open office without blocking the noise. Visual distractions are almost as bad but are harder to block.

I use sox to generate audio. It is available for win/Mac/Linux. I set it for 90 minutes of brown noise which gives me a reminder to get up and walk around when it ends. I believe it can generate white or pink noise if you prefer.

I've worked in an office like that; they had the audacity to make us work in an office with a broken concrete floor (with electrical guide pipes showing), open ceiling with the aircon dripping on my desk, and plywood walls, and call it "industrial design". At least be honest and say it's a temporary design because the whole floor will be repurposed within two years.

As a counterpoint though, another office also went for industrial design, but they did it stylishly - just one visible aircon pipe, and instead of raw concrete, they sprayed it with a kind of foam or fiber that absorbs a lot of sound, in a somewhat dark color. That office has a beer tap, too.
> I wonder why we don't have several conscious thoughts at once.

This is something that can happen via psychedelics or meditation. I don't know of any way to predictably induce it though.
Suppose the program you gave as example doesn't have a stack. Does the TCP/IP code of the underlying operative system that would run it have one? If so, then your unexploitable program can be exploited without it even noticing, correct?
This is always such a slippery slope, though. There ARE a lot of people who are already using soda in a healthy manner; they drink one occasionally, and are not addicted. They, too, would be swept up in any outright ban (no matter how temporary).

Where would it stop, then? Almost everything there is has some people that are addicted to it and use it too much; television, video games, social media, etc. Do we implement global bans to protect the people who are unable to control themselves? Or do we need to do something different?
The Greatest Comeback in Debate History
I have visited Facebook's warehouse pretty often and it has always intimidated me. It has a feel of a crowded airport waiting room.

I remember reading in "Peopleware" that science says privacy is good for productivity and people tend to perform better in their cabins. Isnt this open office a bit unnerving ?
They're awful for you, not all developers. I love open offices.

I've been through the full gambit: single office; shared office; cube; back to shared office; open office.

My favorite is definitely open office, because it's simply more social.

Do you mean data transfer caps? That's what we are discussing here.

You can buy unmetered shared hosting (famously, Dreamhost) or even unmetered servers/rackspace. The problem is that at the end of the day everyone involved knows it's an illusion. You can't sell an infinite quantity of data and so any service is oversold to some degree. And since transfer is just the integration of bandwidth consumption, so there are hard limits to what you could ever push through a given server (though the service will ask you to fuck off long before this point).

Furthermore, servers are largely business-driven. Pretend "unlimited" hosting is fine for toy projects but in business long load times or outages are lost money, so reliability is a must and SLAs are the order of the day. Nobody will sign a SLA on "unlimited", bandwidth (to handle peaks) is more important than transfer anyway, and the larger your needs the more you will pay. Every dollar you spend on wasted capacity is a dollar that comes out of your profit.

Anyway, what it largely comes down to is that consumer internet access is a "best-effort" service and that's not acceptable in a datacenter. Data still costs money to deliver even in a "best-effort" service but it's super minimal. The marginal cost of a gigabyte of data is around a tenth of a cent per gigabyte. All of the cost is in the last-mile infrastructure, so overage charges are just a cash grab. I would be perfectly fine with being billed at say $15/mo for hookup plus actual data charges but that's not what's being offered here.
No, this is a bunch of people making up what they think the spec should be, and making it "real" by forcing people to implement it.

Nothing that extreme. This was more of a theoretical thing. Certainly, it could be used to filter people based on their ability to design a maze-solving heuristic, but some constraints would have to be placed on the test, as one can query Google for an A* implementation that could pretty easily solve this without having to understand basic recursive searches.

If I were to design this as an interview problem, it would probably be for a general purpose solver and a pair programming exercise.
> book a small conference room for yourself for a few hours

I'm supposed to work all day every day, not a few hours. And the open offices I've been stuck in didn't even have enough conference rooms for actual meetings.

> walk away to a hotel desk in a more quiet part of the office

If that space existed, I would move into it full time. But open offices are wall to wall with people who do not shut up. In practice I stay very late and get things done after they leave.
Then the problem is you jumped ahead too much. The "can't win" part came from what that guy was responding to. Your parent argument was just "no, people won't give them a break because what they're doing with PR and marketing is morally reprehensible". That's it.
No, I probably wouldn't. I don't trust any government party to determine the objective truth. Think about what you are advocating; you want to give the government power to erase content they claim is wrong. "You claim Duterte advocated extrajudicial hit squads? That's libel, take it down. Or else."

More common than I thought, then. Thanks.

Still a huge number of people get no training and even in states that require training, it seems pretty minimal. 6 hours of driving instruction in my current state (WA) doesn't seem like a lot.
Sure, it helps to some degree, but can also be very distracting in its own right. Being able to turn to the person next to you or behind you and ask a question is very different from pinging somebody over IM / IRC / etc.
A guide is better than no guide. I like the part about adding suffix strings to variables. Two things I would changes

* Add commas before the variable
* Do not use single letters for aliases. Some versions of hive will throw exceptions. Plus seeing tables a, b, c, d joined together is annoying to read.

Some countries mandate, for good reason, that you can't work on you laptop, without an external monitor, mouse and keyboard, when not on the road. Plus you're desk is require to be height adjustable. That sort of eliminate the option of moving around to much.

Personally I feel that a persons desk is the place where they're suppose to be doing the majority of their work, so that should be the quite area. The noise people can book a conference room for phone calls.

One thing I find fascinating is that all the people I've meet that claimed to love open offices, or require background noise, all, every single one, have had head phones glued to their head. At my last job I asked if we could not have the radio on: Nope, people like the background noise, and I was just being difficult. The next week I asked again, adding that the people wanting the noise where wearing head phones anyway, or where rarely in the office. So the radio was turned off.
What does "supposed to happen" mean in the context of evolution?
I struggled with fatigue for most of my sophomore year of high school. I started falling asleep in class out of nowhere. Then, as suddenly as I started falling asleep in class, I stopped.Looking back, I realized that I had been going days and weeks without seeing the sun. None of my classes had windows, nor did the lunchroom or the gyms. I had been getting to school early for clubs and leaving late because of sports. I was arriving at school before sunrise and leaving after sunset once the days got short enough.

Speaking of forests -- I think schools are overly concerned with controlling the environment kids learn in. I personally think that letting the mind wander for short periods helps your mental stamina recover.

Years ago, I stopped using profanity at work, unless it's in private conversations with people I really trust and/or consider close personal friends.

It's partly out of simple respect for my coworkers, but a big motivation is the personal risk involved. These days, there are more than a few people who will complain to HR about anything and everything that might offend them. And I simply don't want to be on the receiving end of any of those complaints.

And what's ironic, is the people I'm referring to, at least in my company, are by and large millennials, who, according to the article, are big users of profanity in the workplace. I've had complaints lodged against me for simply speaking bluntly, well within my authority, and not using the "praise sandwich" when correcting someone who had totally screwed something up. Both times I was fully exonerated, I'm happy to say. But it might have gone a different way had I laced my blunt statements with profanity.

> So 37% have been forced into freelancing. That's a large chunk.

I don't think it is clear enough to infer that. Forced into it doesn't mean they would prefer a full-time job. It might be they live in a city without those type of roles. They might need to take care of children or another family member. They might be studying part-time.

I hypothesize that this is tied to our small working memory. Introspection suggests to me that working memory does not only hold small items of data, but is also where pointers into bigger networks must be anchored. When I'm thinking about a problem or project, my mind's eye saccades around the small features of the problem, but it still feels like those features are being swapped into working memory.
You could make the same argument for high end audio equipment, cars, etc. Obviously there is some type of market, or they wouldn't be selling them.
