As others have noted, there's not always an unambiguous date for some object types (the best you can do for blobs is to find the first commit in which they appeared, and use its date).

However, there'a more complicated issue with timestamps, with is that you care about what was in the repository of the person who generated the sha1, at the time of generation. So you could merge in history that includes older commits, and invalidate your sha1s with "older" objects.

So the timestamp of interest is not the one in the objects themselves, but when they entered some particular repository (and not even some well-known repository; the local clone of whoever happened to generate the sha1). That being said, those two things correlate a lot in practice, and auto-picking the oldest commit might be a useful heuristic.

It would be a fun project to implement as an option for `core.disambiguate`.
The problem with the Matrix is even with made-up physics, they did a terrible job writing in humans as a power source into the plot. That's a fairly low bar and they failed.
I don't have a "real account". Not caring about accumulating points and not caring to be involved in a discussion at all are separate ideas. I have no obligation to link my identity to the data collection schemes. I use multiple VPN services to, FWIW :)

That maybe could have been implied by use of a throwaway and explicitly stating disinterest in points. I'd rather focus on the ideas and conversations. Upvote/downvote leads to watered down groupthink. "I'm too lazy to think up something, so I'll just quickly upvote/retweet what sounds closest to what I'm thinking."

The point of the sentence was to let people who are going to reach for it know that no long term status will be valued by either choice. It's only going to improve visibility in this conversation and cease being valuable after. Since some of these things matter to people, I'm up front about it.

Hacker holds San Francisco railway to ransom, demands 100 Bitcoins
That's exactly it. The contact had flash source but they get the DRM code shipped as a binary library so never see the source of it. A lot of companies, MS, Google, Adobe compartmentalise their drm team, effectively at the behest of the media companies as its all smoke and mirrors anyway. trying to protect things like encryption keys and the like. Typically therefore the binaries are also obfuscated heavily.
Society is judged by how they treat the lowest ranking members and issues. There's a stark difference between West & East here.

It's simply a matter of affordability, the West can afford to care about human rights, refugees, giving foreign aid because it can and it believes that it's not a question of politics but an evolution of thinking that emerged as a result of 200+ years of world wide colonialism.

It's interesting to see that the East has been unable to take the same route but it's slowly changing in developed democracies like Japan and South Korea.

Everyone I've known at Amazon seems aware of the problems in the environment. Amazon is a high pressure, high growth company.

I don't believe that people are missing a sense of compassion for folks who are not compatible with the working situation.

I agree with you on the idea that contemplating suicide is problematic- but to say there is a single problem is a gross oversimplification. I don't like this blogpost either- but the problem isn't just a suicidal employee.

Managers have an obligation to both the company and their staff to help employees navigate these situations as best as possible. In the case of this jumper, someone might have dropped the ball.

It's also just as possible that there was no ball dropped. The CDC says ~42k Americans commit suicide every year. Suicides aren't just about one thing usually. What are the circumstances in the life of the person who jumped that warrant this peevish posting?

I don't see anything here other than an opportunistic post by someone emotional. They clearly have been asking for help and continue to suffer on some level. It's exploitative to use someone else's suicide attempt to draw attention to your own employment problems. Whether or not it's their employer that is the true source of the problem is unknowable.

This is the Internet! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A nice side effect of hex is that you can pick it out of a text commit message with higher accuracy (e.g., to turn it into a hyperlink). Tools like `gitk` and sites like GitHub do this using a regex.
Agreed that you shouldn't take your job so seriously.

I think when you're in the eye of the storm of depression, it's not easy to think straight and make decisions that objectively seem logical, like just getting out.
RISC-V is an open source ISA:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC-V

It has a number of implementations, both fully open source ones (BSD licensed), and proprietary. This one is based on the open source Rocket Chip implementation (https://github.com/ucb-bar/rocket), which is a simple in-order design, something like ARM Cortex-M or Intel Atom. (There is also one open source out-of-order design called BOOM - https://github.com/ucb-bar/riscv-boom)
> If you hate your job, wouldn't the courageous thing be to go get a different job?

That makes an assumption that it's even an option. It's not always so, and not because of competency reasons.

1) Some visas are often tied to specific jobs. You could be putting your continued residency in the country at risk by leaving.

2) Amazon forks out a bunch of money by way of signing bonuses and relocation money etc. etc, which typically tie you to the company for 2 years (it's a reasonable policy, the expense is far from trivial and they need to recoup at least that much in value from your employment). If you don't stay for the 2 years, then you become liable for the entire amount (maybe pro-rated would be better/fairer). It's quite possible that individuals find themselves in a position where they literally can not afford to quit Amazon, unless they can find another employer willing to cover that money.
Please don't do that because it invites users to try it out and while you probably don't try to be malicious, I know that it is a pretty common scam in MMORPGs. People say in chat: awesome, if I type my password it becomes: [hidden] and hopes other users try that. As soon as something looks like their password, they have scripts ready to immediately change the users password.

> but surely it can be seen that, to this point, capitalism is the high water mark.

The dominant system of the developed west in the 19th Century for which the term "capitalism" was coined was certainly an improvement in most respects over its predecessors, as was recognized by its critics who named it.

The modern mixed economy, which has generally displaced that system in the developed west (and much of the rest of the world), which incorporates significant elements of the program of the socialist critics who named "capitalism" without, as those critics would generally have preferred, replacing entirely it's fundamental structure of property, is, while certainly far from ideal, I would say much better than capitalism, though it constantly seems to want to slide back into capitalism (or, rather, powerful interests want to force it back to that state).
you are correct I did make a mistake there.

However, like the other comment suggested, nuclear carriers rarely travel alone without the protection of large naval assets deployed around it.

If only AI was running all of the naval air assets on a carrier, no food, self sustaining & maintaining.

I'd imagine an increase of frequency in US naval carrier groups patrolling oceans closer as a result of the cost savings of reducing manned staff with AI and robots but that's another topic.
Racket vs. Clojure
If the area you're talking about were to be Dutch, most likely it wouldn't be (rental) apartments in the first place; and if it were, rents would be much higher (probably even more than the e291). Which is why there are so many Dutch people living there at all. Also still, many people there would be quite offended if you told them they're more Dutch than Belgian. And a bit further up north there are whole villages on the east side of the river; Smeermaas for example.

As to why that part is Belgian: at the end of the "Belgian Revolution" (or "Belgian Uprising", depending on who you ask) the border was drawn at the location that each party occupied at the time. Since there was an Orange-minded general stationed in Maastricht during that period, he had kept the Belgian 'army' at bay quite easily with the cannons on the walls. So the border is at the distance that a cannon could shoot at the time. If you go up the ruins of the city walls in Maastricht (next to the statue of d'Artagnan, the fourth musketeer, who died there during another siege of Maastricht), there is still a cannon like that standing there.

Also, 'Meuse' is the name of the river in English; which of course is like that because the French name is 'la Meuse'.

pretty sure that the residents of baarle hertog quite like the status quo. If one country does something they don't like (e.g. tax policy), they can redesignate their "front door" as being in the other state, and thus be under the other state's jurisdiction.
> Given the track record, it probably surprises none of us to read these stories.

It surprises me, a lot. I was at Google for years, and even if you model a company's decision-making simply as 100% profit-maximizing, IME HR/managers/everyone was pretty motivated to keep employees happy so that they don't leave. This pops up in all kinds of things: flexibility of the work environment, keeping you engaged in interesting work, paying attention to your career and skills growth, etc.

If anything I'd be inclined away from complimenting the way Google treats their employees: I left because I wasn't satisfied with the way career growth worked in the Research org of such a large company. But at not point did it seem like anyone thought that putting employees under heavy pressure was a path to success, let alone the expected path to success, as you imply.
Funny how China is able to take Android and make it their own OS void of any Google services. I guess it's easier for these lazy people to blame Google then doing the actual work like China did.
Not sure what you're trying to say here - that Krugman's words should not be considered seriously because "it was all in fun"? That he commented on a space in which he not qualified to do so "because someone told him to"?

You're ignoring the fact that inequality has increased in a measurable way, it's not something that can be solved on an individual level. As the saying goes, when your neighbor loses his job, it's a recession - when you lose yours it's a depression.

Also, by definition, not everyone can out-compete the average, if everyone in the country had a PhD, there'd still be unemployment. Not everyone in such a large country can do the same thing.

And yes, maybe lots of these people are stupid. But they're part of society, and societal problems manifest themselves in ways that assuredly don't benefit people like you.
​AT&T DirecTV Now: The good, the bad, and the ugly
And you have include in the price the problems of a paid app:

- customization will be very expensive, if not impossible

- you must have people for the procurement process (x10 more costly if you are in a gov agency),

- weird failures due to not finding the license,

- your cheap personal that install software won't be able to do it,

- you'll have problems creating testing environments because you don't have licenses

- you won't be able to do some things immediately because there aren't enough licenses.

And these are just the problems that came to my mind right now. All of them are real problems that I'd found in commercial software.
I have a similar story I recently set out to build a SaaS product and wanted to use/learn elixir. I enjoyed using elixir but a lot of the fairly complex things I wanted to do requires quite a bit of learning and custom solutions. I wound up scraping that version after 2 months and rewriting it in Ruby/Rails in about a week. And adding new features.
That is a nice writeup. One of the interesting things for me was to see which topics you decided to cover and which to omit. For instance, I noted `clone --reference --recurse-submodules` as a potential topic of interest, but I am afraid to point anybody to the `--reference` option due to its hidden dangers.

I'm also curious how you came up with 19,290 for a birthday paradox on a 7-hex hash. I think it's 16,384, but probability can sometimes be tricky. :)

If you want an arduino compatible device that can do audio processing, go for a Teensy board (https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/ , http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_Audio.html)
As a rough way to understand this, take a look at the difference in operation between an analog computer [0] and a digital computer. One of the main differences is that an analog computer does not achieve a given "operation" (e.g. integration of an input function) via a discrete heurestic (i.e. by executing the calculation in steps using say numerical integration), but rather the analog computer embodies the operation itself via its underlying physics.

Essentially, these researchers have proposed a way to tackle integer factorization by creating a quantum system that embodies the calculation itself, rather than performing discrete steps on an input to find its factors as one would via, say, Shor's Algorithm on a "general-purpose" quantum computer.

As is mentioned in GP post's link, this is potentially a significant result in both pure math (quantum number theory) and applied cryptography.

Yikes. I'm sure there's discount pricing available but some of us have tens of thousands of hosts to monitor. The pricing you quoted doesn't scale. For me it might be cheaper to collect with OSS and graph with SaaS.

The chip linked is the E310G, which neither has a MMU or real OS kernel (same as Cortex-M). It also doesn't have most of the peripherals you listed (maybe you got it confused with their other, larger chip). It really is a Arduino competitor (though much faster).

But pushing this person to suicide is actually what they did!

> It seems to me that an MMU is no good if the board doesn't have enough RAM to run a general-purpose operating system, as opposed to a bare-metal program or a real-time OS like a microcontroller usually uses.

For a realtime operating system at least a Memory Protection Unit (to use the word that ARM introduced for this limited form of an MMU) is very useful since it can easily make the OS much more reliable if a process cannot write to memory adresses of the kernel or other processes.

EDIT: Or is such an MPU implied by the support for "Privileged ISA Specification v1.9.1"?
I agree about the tide of garbage, but on the other hand garbage is intensely interesting to historians. Think what one could do with a decent sentiment analysis AI and billions of comments on news stories for example. By themselves many of them are just nonsensical ranting for one or other political viewpoint, but in the aggregate you could probably identify significant historical tipping points that inflected much earlier than 'official' indicators.

Jolla may find itself under tremendous pressure to agree, or Russia could fork it and corrupt the brand's image.
That'd be nice, but I see it going in the opposite direction: the internet becomes too hostile for casual operators. The only way for an average company to survive is to hole up inside the datacenters and on top of the walled-garden platforms of the bid cloud providers, using locked-down and mostly immutable thin clients (i.e. Chromebooks). Already the only way to withstand a DDoS if you are small is to wrap yourself in someone bigger (Cloudflare, Amazon).
Could be, in part, because Russian words are about 30% longer than English words, on average (personal names, perhaps more so).
You know what I'm waiting for? When game manufacturers start to require HDCP. The outrage of the youtube gamer kiddies (I personally dislike them all, but hey, they got enough influence) when they can't stream their stuff any more is going to be priceless and maybe enough to finally burn down the HDCP/DRM towers.

Or when someone develops a malware that exploits vulnerabilities in the x.509 code. I mean, if it's proper x.509, it's a hellhole of vulnerabilities - because either the crypto developers had to use common, often-flawed code like OpenSSL or develop their own.
