i don't think he called torvalds the father of dvcs, merely he was the one who came up with the simplest and correct solution to handling merges (which is to let the user resolve most of the complex ones)

and what about this line on the wikipedia page?

> This [community] version of BitKeeper also required that certain meta-information about changes be stored on computer servers operated by BitMover, an addition that made it impossible for community version users to run projects of which BitMover was unaware.

so not storing some changes locally, and being unable to access it if you don't have a paying version of the client seems to be really archaic compared to the simplicity of git. i could be misinterpreting what they mean by meta-information though.
Oh yeah, it should. Would look rather nice as well. The size gain doesn't have to be more than couple percents, maybe 3-5?
Intel's mobile processors like the ones in the Macbook Pro support up to 64 megs of ram. Their ultra low power cpus only support 16 gigs, but the line in question goes up to 64, even with ddr3l ram.
I thought about that too, but as far as I see with OpenVPN you have the single OpenVPN server as single point of failure and all the traffic goes through the server, which quickly becomes a chokepoint. If I needed this again, I'd try out tinc first. It does not appear to have the single point of failure issue.

I don't see it happening. People still have to talk to each other, don't they? I realise google translate can translate your audio input these days, but no matter how good that speech recognition comes it's still much more awkward. It's fine for getting a taxi or getting something at a shop, but unsuitable for a real conversation. It's a bit inappropriate in a business meeting, or in an intimate talk, to speak into your phone and have a synthesised voice give a machine translation of your thoughts.

I welcome advances in machine translation with open arms, but I can only see them as an augmenter, not a replacement. Time will tell.
What is the use-case for this? It seems pricey for entry level, but has a lot of nifty options for power-users.. but, then why would I risk having no airflow or extra power (200watt PS) for when I get cookin' with storage or fast video?
Are you criticising just git or DVCS? If the latter, try Mercurial if you haven't already used it.
"Als" is not correct here. It should be "Da wir die Umfrage 2016 abschließen ..."

In the second example it should be "... dass die LW-Gemeinde in der Bevölkerung nicht sank sondern eher in verschiedene Gemeinden abgewandert ist."
But I'm having a hard time translating "so much as" in this context to German.
> They obviously have agenda.

Could a desire for safe roads be one? Drivers on smartphones kill.
You can still verify the result of an automatic merge. It's simpler to mark a suggestion "y" than to resolve conflicts that could be solved automatically by hand.

So I don't think this reasoning holds any ground whatsoever.

Seems easy to blame Facebook for this. I don't like how he called out their algorithms, probably not even knowing how they work. Meanwhile Twitter is just banning alt-right accounts openly, and no one gives a shit.
I was also thinking about Caesar when reading the article especially the Battle of Alesia - his greatest battle. He sieged and surrounded Vercingotrix by a wall, Vercingotrix called for reinforcements so Caesar built an outer wall to protect himself from them. Then they both attacked him and even though he was surrounded and outnumbered 4:1 he somehow managed to win!

Even if you are VMWare with thousands of developers, do you really think that you can keep up with the speed of development from Angular?
It's not so confidential anymore, is it?
What do you mean by "needs updating"?

And with packages, I disagree. I only use Debian (and have used Red Hat some
time ago), so it would be quite troublesome for me to provide package build
scripts for anything else. I wouldn't expect any developer to provide
packaging for the whole variety of distributions and OSes. But providing
a sane build process is enough for anybody to build a package for their OS.

As image metadata is factual surely it's not covered by copyright.
That's not what the media reported. For example:

> “We probably have about 7 million votes left to count,” said David Wasserman, an editor at Cook Political Report who is tracking turnout. “A majority of them are on the coasts, in New York, California, and Washington.

> What’s with the delay? Several states, notably California and Washington, have liberal absentee and mail-in voting laws. California, for instance, allows residents to submit ballots up to three days late (although they must be postmarked on or before Election Day). These provisions have made alternative voting pretty popular, and the ballots a bit harder to count. California alone has more than 4 million votes pending; Washington is waiting on another 700,000.

Not scattered (4 million in CA alone), and not necessarily hard to read (mail in ballots).
Hi merb, could you elaborate a little more on why you think it is a challenge to keep up with the speed of development from Angular?

I am not sure if there is confusion here but those components are built on top of Angular 2. We use and love Angular 2. In fact, we talk and work with the Angular team and both Angular and Clarity are open source projects. We contributed and would like to continue to contribute back to Angular as well!
Projects die when the original authors stop working on them. github/sourceforge/savannah are littered with dead projects.

What causes this? I would argue that it is the development style and focus. We still code the way we did when I worked on an 8k PDP-11. Memory constraints forced small files, #include statements, overlay linkers, etc. To 'organize' we invented 'informative names' for directories like 'src', 'test' (minimal), and 'doc' (usually empty). This 'pile of sand' (POS) approach is still used today. This POS style forces a focus on the code.

This focus on code has the side-effect of making everything else optional. Projects are considered 'done' when you ship the code.

Successful commercial projects spend a lot of time on presentation and documentation. Books are written, technical notes are available, for-profit and/or online courses are available. The user interface is polished. All of this without publishing a single line of code.

It is my belief that we need to develop a different style and focus for open source. I believe that literate programming (ref: Knuth) will make it possible for non-authors to maintain, modify, and improve programs. It will change the style from POS and focus from 'only the code' to 'the WHY behind the code'. Throwing POS code on github/sourceforge/savannah is certain death.

See 'Physically Based Rendering' by Pharr and Humphreys for a gold-standard example.

I wonder if it has a very small pool of potential drawings. Eg if it only has "police car" and no other cars it might be able to jump straight to police car after seeing a car.

It also seems to constantly have a "best guess" to some degree and if that happens to be correct it confirms pretty quickly.

We used to send trojans to people around the same time. I got particularly consumed by it and started a file on a girl a couple of years older than us (we were around 10-11 at the time). Shit got too real and I ended up seeing a conversation she had with her friend about how she was pregnant and didn't dare tell her parents. It all got too personal, somehow, and I realized I had a window into too much of her life, so I nuked it and never looked back.

It was a bad thing to do from the beginning, but at least I learned something about life and after that I had an even bigger interest in computers and programming, as well as the idea of creating something instead of only doing bad things. Shortly after I had my first touch of programming (outside of copying a "Snake" game from a magazine) when I wrote macros for Ultima Online.

Thinking back to this time with ICQ and all of this is making me really nostalgic and I sort of wish I could sit in with my old self and talk about the future.
>In the meantime, I think Snapchat's marketing angle is ingenious.

IMHO it's not something very ingenious, they are shooting ideas - some of them stick to the wall.

> They <...> built trust in the community of shameless consumers

..and that's why the idea sticks (just like whole snapchat et al.). It's shameless and to put it more straight - frequently egoistic (and maybe arrogant as well?) users who use this and go crazy about it.

With google's glass the media raged about how it's a huge privacy problem [&]. Snapchat's spectacles? Genius!! Short memory.

[&] Though to be more critical, having a huge price point and available to few people was the problem as well, but IMHO the media sunk the ship before it was a float by labeling it as a huge privacy issue.
It's still a ways from becoming self aware. Here's a piece of an old family letter in German:

You're not actually contradicting GP. Marking a suggestion "y" is still making a human decision, just with really good auto-complete.

Not only that. The individual computers speaking on a common bus are manufactured by the cheapest bidder, which is rarely the same company for all component. They can be cheap because they build to slightly fudged specifications. So the components on the common bus don't even speak the same protocol.

There was a presentation of some contractor using property testing to eliminate a huge number of integration bugs that had been in production for years. Scary stuff.

This is sadly the general vein of HN, and of all online communities - no matter what you try, September comes.

I used to come to HN to learn things. Now I come here to try to defend any worldview other than "TV said so". The only thing I'm really learning is that the technocratic class cannot be trusted with questions of nuance, politics, or morality.

There's an example from history in the early Soviet Union, and the effects of technocratic management on their economy - and in a later regime I won't name how my great uncle found himself shipped to Stalingrad. "Siegfried, we are not here to discuss whether we should be using forced labour, we are here to discuss how to use it." He was a hydrological engineer, they had him designing power plants that could be installed by unskilled forced labour. He objected, got sent to Stalingrad, and escaped with his life because he got hepatitis and was airlifted out under a dead man's name. The vast majority just complied because it was an interesting problem and "not their place" to pass judgment, or think.

I digress, but I do worry about where this "discourse" is headed, and i had honestly deluded myself into thinking we could be better.
Well but that letter has several errors ("mit du schoene Nachricht", "schr" instead of "sehr", "ankem" is ancient spelling for "ankam", "be- sorgte" was a hyphenated line break...) and uses weird abbreviations that require context (R. is a person, Br. is a place). No wonder it's having trouble.

That's an old German dialect. Google Translate has not been trained on it.
P.S. The German text is transcribed from a handwritten letter. I don't know German very well at all, which makes my transcription a bit suspect. I've found it is very difficult to transcribe cursive in a language that you aren't fluent in.

It translated okay for me, perhaps you meant 130万?

There is no million in Japanese counting, but 1万(man) is 10000. I think google did this to make reading easier, as otherwise you would have to make this conversion in your head when reading.

I take a fundamental issue with the core thinking behind this post. It seems to be: "the voters should not be allowed free communication between themselves - it needs to be policed and curated for them. They should preferably get most/all of their information and political opinion from big media.

Some telling parts from the post:

"Facebook’s viral and social mechanisms allow the amplification of content well beyond its original media budget, thus exacerbating the issue."

"A thousand “Hillary Clinton is a crook” “opinion pieces” probably don’t fall into your count of fake news per se (even though, it’s worth pointing out that their very title would constitute libel and is a lie). And opinion pieces are much, much harder to police. "
It's a 1940s era letter. Has German changed that much? English hasn't.

As usual, you can never be sure unless you read the code, luckily, it's very small: https://github.com/vitorbaptista/shellshare/blob/master/publ...

The only thing sent to shellshare's servers is the text in your bash terminal. There's no return channel for the servers to send commands back to the computer.

You could argue that you're giving control of the terminal because you're running a third-party executable, but that's the same for any executable you run.

I love the fans in my PC, the way they make almost no noise.

But they make noise. And worse, they are a marvel of engineering. If some accident of dust or bumping were to upset their balance I fear will I be back to the loud old days.

Worst of all, they are moving parts that might simply fail. Having a thing that is fanless from the start is much less likely to suddenly find its assumptions about heat dissipation violated.

EXACTLY! "Material design" is very much opposed to how "real-world material interfaces" would look like in anything above the basics. Think about fucking ripple & light efects, but on otherwise solid-looking and matte-looking surfaces!

I mostly label this whole "material design" crap as "flat & minimalistic (metro-like) design" + "minimal volumetric efdects backported from the abandoned skeumorphic design bandwagon" in order to give the user some "visual cues".

In truly like the style and cues of material design practically... but there is a subconscious "uncanny valley intuition" about it that triggers a primitive warning sign in my primitive bran or something... kind of like "fear/stress about something that is practically the right thing but it... deceives you in a way and maybe also in others". I find both flat/minimalistic and rich/skeomorphic interfaces more soothing / calming / trust inducing.

I think most banks and ecommerce and enterprise/infrastructure UI professionals also share this intuition with me: you see in most banking, AWS etc. UIs always "a touck of skomorphism" plus "a lack of unnatural/magical effects", and it makes you trust more the app, be more *relaxed and confident" and willing to open you soul & wallet to it...

It clearly failed on context there - "fällig" does mean "due", but when referring to an invoice. "due" isn't used for baby delivery dates in German, the sentence would be structured differently, probably something like "Unser Baby kommt im Januar" (literally "our baby is coming in January"). That's exactly the kind of thing I hoped this new model would catch, but apparently that's still a bit too much to expect.
It's weird but the computer can choose not to cheat and forget the answer when guessing. Not possible for humans.
Thank you for the corrections. I haven't been able to talk any native German speakers into helping fix the errors.

In general, though, I've found Google Translate to fall over and produce gibberish with a single misspelling or grammatical error. That's ok when translating professionally edited text, but language in common usage tends to be a lot messier.

Using a smartphone or a tablet computer for 2 hours straight will result in a negative physical condition so it is no wonder if the kids are cranky after that.

Also disrupting "flow" can make people cranky since its hard to attain that kind of a mindstate (a lot of work can go to waste if somebody interrupts you).

Anyway... I've seen kids playing Pokemon Go running around the neighborhood and the forests near by, and they seem like happy campers. It's good that there is at least something that makes kids play outside these days.
