No no, you never force push to "published" branches, e.g., upstream master. What you're doing when you rebase onto the latest upstream is this: you're making your local history the _same_ as the upstream, plus your commits as the latest commits, which means if you push that, then you're NOT rewriting the upstream's history.

(In the Sun model one does rewrite project branch history, but one also leaves behind tags, and downstream developers use the equivalent of git rebase --onto. But the true upstream never rewrites its history.)
Surprised this sentiment isn't more popular, they've proven themselves to be both dishonest and incompetent.

This could also be state propoganda, the modern US being what it is.
Or the even better example of Somaliland, which is perfectly safe. I lived and worked there for a few months last summer, and loved it.
BitChute is another
I'd sure like to run that as my operating system, browser, virtual assistant, car automation system, and overall do-everything-for-me system...

For the record, I think mediagoblin should use whatever license they see fit.

But the distinction between GPL and AGPL here matters. If mediagoblin were GPL you could use it to host better-than-youtube.com -- and subsequently add a hardware-accelerated-3d-folksonomy feature to your better-than-youtube.com instance. better-than-youtube.com's users would be [effectively] using a work derived from mediagoblin and yet they would not have access to its source because they were never distributed the binary. GNU created the AGPL to solve the problem created by the trend of "Software-as-a-service".
Thousands of families have forced out of their homes and displaced by a radiation-polluted landscape, which the conservative government is trying to pass off as safe so they can pull their disaster relief subsidies:

I pray that nothing similar happens to you or that you have to suffer the indignity of people glibly dismissing your misfortune.
Luckily, they also control the government and military.
but, strictly speaking, the Fed isn't the same as the federal government.

also, the US government has borrowed a whole hell of a lot of money from outside sources (e.g. corporations, US investors, and foreign governments from Japan to China to Saudi Arabia to European nations)
I know it's a higher architecture. But could anyone tell me the difference between istio and springcloud/dubbo?
Or if one person makes enough predictions..
Is this project still in active development? The release version has not reached 1.0 but there were only a few commits in the past months:

Well, time and funding are constrained for the research, surely they must produce something, and China wouldn't mind at all.
It's also one of the big influences on modern JIT compilation techniques, pioneering a lot of the tricks that (through Animorphic Smalltalk) ended up in Hotspot first and V8 later.
The Economist ran a wonderful obituary on Tama when she died in 2015 [1]

When I was in school, people used to take mushrooms as accompaniment to concerts for certain kinds of music, but also there'd be times when they'd tell me they just did it (by themselves) cuz they had some leftovers in their baggies and well, why wait and share? So, it can be both.
I dabbled with ownCloud, Seafile, etc and came away disappointed. At the time I was trying to run them on a raspberry pi and ownCloud at least was too heavy. Eventually I found Syncthing and that's been the ticket for me. It's great for synchronization but not so much for general sharing.
Well, git rerere helps here, though, honestly, this never happens to me even when I have 20 commits. Also, this is what you want, as it makes your commits easier to understand by others. Otherwise, with thousands of developers your merge graph is going to be a pile of incomprehensible spaghetti, and good luck cherry-picking commits into old release patch branches!

Ah, right, that's another reason to rebase: because your history is clean, linear, and merge-free, it makes it easier to pick commits from the mainline into release maintenance branches.

The "fake history" argument is no good. Who wants to see your "fix typo" commits if you never pushed code that needed them in the first place? I truly don't care how you worked your commits. I only care about the end result. Besides, if you have thousands of developers, each on a branch, each merging, then the upstream history will have an incomprehensible (i.e., _useless_) merge graph. History needs to be useful to those who will need it. Keep it clean to make it easier on them.

Rebase _is_ the "more powerful merge abstraction", IMO.
And cherry-pick onto release maintenance branches.
Well, yes, it is very complex, but that's part of what makes it fun.
No one dying quite glibly ignores the economic and social consequences of displacing somewhere in the neighborhoods of 120,000 people.

That aside, are we to believe that no one's medical conditions were made more severe by the stress and displacement caused by this disaster? And no one died as a result? Something of the scale of Fukushima can't be so easily dismissed by this kind of cursory analysis of radiation related health risks.
>but better than its neighbor states and better than it was before it became stateless.

Not quite. While dysfunctional, Somali pre-anarchy was actually a great place to live.
I would rather chunks of functionality not be removed from tools to suit other peoples aesthetic sensibilities.
Somaliland has a government though.
This is inevitable in a value based economy. And yes, there can be cost based economies. Something is terribly wrong when greed can legally come in the way of a sick person and their cure. There are too many solutions to this problem if you think about it. Government could sponsor all medical research and share the research to companies to manufacture based on cost based pricing. Companies can be restricted from increasing price of their drugs beyond what they were launched with. People should be allowed to freely import life saving drugs and equipments from other countries. The government has the solution, what is needed is a will to solve.
He elaborates on technology improvement in other articles, but it boils down to: technological improvements have a range of returns, but even the most optimistic of historical returns to technological progress can't paper over the debt-fueled boom China is currently undergoing.

Basically, qualitatively, you're right. Technological improvements can generate growth from scratch. But when you look at the historical data to try to quantify it, you see it's quite modest. Big gains have come from: women entering the workforce, electrification, containerization. The rest is incremental enough it doesn't matter in the same way.

(Part of this is how it's measured; the fact that consumers get much more value for their dollar isn't well captured, but the point remains because it's about debt-servicing, not consumer value.)
This is completely idiotic. Conversation about transit construction costs is being dominated by the New York City Second Avenue Subway. This is an extreme outlier among transit projects. Initially proposed in 1919, the Second Avenue was considered too complex and expensive to be built. Since then it has repeatedly been considered and shot down because of the extreme complications and expense involved for nearly one hundred years. After all of this it was finally decided that the value of having such a conveyance matched or exceeded the extreme cost and complications and plans went ahead. Having completed this people are now shocked, shocked to find out that it was expensive because of complications. The real lesson here is how utterly disconnected the supposedly sophisticated modern world is from history and basic constraints. We can't even inquire reasonably about the costs of things because they might be larger than we would prefer even when there is nearly a hundred years of documentation regarding that.
People actually argue that Somalia is better than it was back when it had a functioning government? Have they talked to anyone who grew up or lived through that? Nobody I've talked to from Somalia (I grew up in Minneapolis, a good chunk of my classmates from elementary and uni were Somali), nobody thinks it was a good change. The amount of death and fear is just staggering.

That article reads a little tone deaf, a lot of the data ignores an entire 10 year period of total fucking chaos.
I'm still waiting for an open source self-hosted alternative to Google Drive. Even just the basic functionality of a file browser, image thumbnails, photo gallery, and video player would be fantastic. Many such projects exist, and maybe I'm just lazy, but I really don't want to have to set up a PHP server in order to run such a thing. I would love something like Syncthing where you download a compiled Go binary, start up the service, and configure it through your browser.

I started implementing something like this myself but didn't make it very far. The fear of eventually running out of space or having privacy/security issues on Drive hasn't produced enough pain for me to really do anything yet.
You are missing experience working in an environment with endpoint scale. You can't configure the O(N^2) paths between application instances changing every hour with those kinds of systems.
I've toyed with the idea of using merge commits to record sets of commits as being... atoms.

Suppose you want to push regression tests first, then bug fixes, but both together: this is useful for showing that the test catches the bug and the bug fix fixes it. But now you need to document that they go together, in case they need to be reverted, or cherry-picked onto release maintenance branches.

I think branch push history is really something that should be a first-class feature. I could live with using merge commits (or otherwise empty-commits) to achieve this, but I'll be filtering them from history most of the time!
"Journals" are not a monolithic category. Some are poorly edited scams meant to defraud researchers who don't know better or who are desperate.

There are also some that are a major source of support for professional organizations.
Yes, I think you need Chrome 57+.

The author is correct that programming requires focus, memory, and attention to details. But it is also a lot of fun! Sure, if you're doing it for money it'll rarely be frivolous, but it will still be fun.

I suppose it's possible that there are people out there who wouldn't enjoy it, but the same can be said of most activities. Crab fishing, for example, or cleaning the methane toilets.
Though in fairness, Apple isn't trying to get you to ask a licensed professional who has years of education about the new Apple Watch.
No, not really. Go's assembly might be considered somewhat higher level than regular assembly code, but it's certainly architecture specific. The examples highlighted use x86 SIMD instructions unavailable on other architectures.

Freedoms taken by the go assemblers also seem to be decreasing as the compiler becomes smarter. E.g. instruction reordering is no longer performed (https://github.com/golang/go/issues/15837).

You can read about the assemblers here: https://golang.org/doc/asm
Me personally? Yes, I use git whenever I can. I still have to use Mercurial for some things.

I don't know what Oracle does nowadays with the gates that make up Solaris. My guess is that they still have a hodge podge, with some gates using git, some Mercurial, and some Teamware still. But that's just a guess. For all I know they may have done what Microsoft did and gone with a single repo for the whole thing.
If by cool off you mean crash, then yes you're right. But it won't be a soft landing by any stretch of the imagination.
I don't have a lot of software experience -- what's the motivation for creating a tool that removes comments? Aren't (well-written) comments normally good to have in the source code?
Sadly we will have to quit blaming Bill Gates. I doubt he makes very many design decisions any more. :)
NextCloud has your back on this. Alternatively, google for the awesome-selfhosted list.
This is why I do it. I don't blog for "vanity" mostly because there isn't much glory in it at the level I'm blogging. There are so many others out there way smarter who do it better than me.

I do it simply to:

- Share with others cool stuff I've learned

- Formulate stuff I've learned into a structure so I better understand it

- Put it out there so people will criticize/mock it, and improve my game.
and tell me again, based on your own definition, how all news isn't fake news? Fake news was pushed heavily as a term by the 'liberal media' until it was pushed back against them and they threw a fit and tried to redefine it. In reality, all modern news is fake news. Every outlet has a left or right agenda, and shapes the news in that way based on clever editing, lies, and omissions. Let's call a spade a spade, and admit that all factually incorrect articles, infographics, and stories are what they are...fake news.

edit:
these comments are mostly made out of frustration with news today. Maybe I'm old, i know that i'm older than the median here now. News was different as a kid. There's always been biases, but less subtle. And 'news' used to be the gold standard in editing and investigating. Now, I see error prone articles that seem to have no editing at all, and swings toward propoganda on both sides. Maybe it's a reflection of our own ignorance and biases. But to me, it's the great fall of media, debasing the term 'news'
Do you believe that the solutions to "solve a sudoku" and "solve n queens" are significantly different?
That's what I do except I use TotalSpaces[1] to use the trackpad to swipe up, right, down or left to each workspace.

You can set applications to open on specific desktops, or any desktop. This combined with moom[2] really makes macOS a pleasure to work with and alleviates the need for multiple monitors.

There's been a lot of talk of people switching from macOS recently and while it's not unfounded I'd struggle replacing this setup.

Amazon doesn't do mono-repos. They have ORDER OF a million repos. They instead invested in excellent cross repo meta-version and meta build capabilities instead of going mono-repo.
Hi, MediaGoblin co-founder and co-maintainer here.

It's still under active development, though I've temporarily handed over the reigns to others while I've been busy getting the federation standard we're going to use nicely shaped up through the W3C spec process https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/

That's taken up more of my last year (okay, last two years) than I expected. I'll be back in the swing of things within the next few months. We have a federation branch right now, but the standardization process of ActivityPub meant that we're going to have to retool some things before its released in 1.0!

The good news is that ActivityPub is looking to be picked up by projects like NextCloud, Mastodon, Pump.io, and quite possibly GNU Social, Diaspora, postActiv. This means we should be able to have more federation working across the many federated social web projects out there.

If you're interested in ActivityPub and federation generally, I highly recommend checking out the tutorial, which is baked into the spec: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#Overview

In the meanwhile, Boris Bobrov (breton) has been kindly doing the main work along maintainership while I've been preoccupied. But, I'll be back soon... and it'll be good to be back!
Many nice people in that religion, but as an ex-Mormon myself, I can unequivocally say that's very reflective of the whole church. They are very dogmatic about a lot of things. In hindsight I don't understand why anyone would tolerate it, and can't believe I did for so many years. Now when I see people wearing "Mormon" attire (men in white button down shirts, women in shorts to their knees) I just shudder. It's not modesty or respect for God, it's​ willingness to be micromanaged by your religion.
The really infuriating thing about Fukushima disaster, in my opinion, is how many people died as a result of evacuation. From wikipedia:

> A survey computed that of some 300,000 evacuees, approximately 1,600 deaths related to the evacuation conditions, such as living in temporary housing and hospital closures that had occurred as of August 2013, a number comparable to the 1,599 deaths directly caused by the earthquake and tsunami in the Prefecture.

Contrast that with the actual death that occurred/will occur due to radiation:

> In 2013, WHO reported that area residents who were evacuated were exposed to so little radiation that radiation induced health impacts were likely to be below detectable levels. (...) According to a linear no-threshold model (LNT model), the accident would most likely cause 130 cancer deaths.

In other words, if the Japanese government had told everyone that this was a minor incident and everyone should stay at home, it's likely that less people would have died as a result. Of course, hindsight is 20/20, and even with perfect information it would have been political suicide anyway.

Such is the danger of nuclear power. The world's second worst nuclear disaster was literally less dangerous than running away from it.
Pettis quantifies it (elsewhere in his articles). He's gone on record that there's going to be an explicit or implicit write down, and China's average GDP growth is going to be well below 5% (averaging more like 2-3%) by 2020. I think those numbers are roughly correct.

What appeals to me about Pettis's analysis is it's rooted in a simple quantitative model that rests on accounting identities. When you've got a model that fundamental, it's easier to make strong predictions.

Also, "markets being irrational" is a claim about asset bubbles. What we're discussing here is much larger, and subject to its own laws of dynamics. It's not a bubble, per se -- it's more like a bad loan that keeps getting rolled over and bigger, and no one acknowledges the loan won't be repaid. Someone is going to lose out, but the day you can't cover the interest payments is the day you have to acknowledge the loss.

In the case of China in 2017, the debt is held by banks, who are functionally insolvent if the bad loans (usually to property developers and commercial entities) were called in. Many of these commercial entities (large, state-owned enterprises, or state-adjacent conglomerates) simply have no possible way to service the actual loans, short of rolling over more debt.

This isn't about asset prices, or a bigger fool bidding up the price of, say, housing stock: it's about the ratio of debt to productive capital. And the reason debt ballooned post 2008 is because the regular investment engine (mostly infrastructure and housing) had started to lose steam. The growth in debt in the economy was a rational response to the need to keep growth numbers high.

But deferring the reckoning doesn't make it better. Though it's held in the corporate sector, much of China's debt behaves almost like revolving consumer credit in the US.

(Also: one form of reckoning is flat growth for an extended period of time; Japan's lost decade is entering its third decade now, and systemic debt is still really bad. Pettis holds up Japan as one example of how not to correct the imbalances.)

why do they need to make any decision at all - if it's like lottery, why not invest in all 4000, let it run wild? The survivors after their money runs out are the good ones.
Dude, you paranoid? I'm not Kapeli. I like Dash. As I've said elsewhere, the stories that came out made him sound shifty.

We have reason to be skeptical of the things he says, but he still writes good software.

Edit: you keep throwing "fraud" around. If he bought reviews, that's shifty and shouldn't be condoned. But fraud implies he stole something or tricked people out of money. It's perfectly OK for you not to like Dash, but I do and so do a lot of other people. I bought his software and he sent me a working license key, and then he supported it and cranked out a stream of updates. It might be false advertising, but I haven't be defrauded out of anything. I traded money for a tool I enjoy using.

And for the record, I have zero business relationship with him outside of those transactions (one each for each of the versions I've purchased). We've never communicated via any medium about anything other than those.
That's one real argument against remote work I guess.

The author addresses the potential benefits of immutability and laziness in a note on cover trees[0]. Last time I checked, this is still the world's fastest NN algorithm.

Haskell could shine in numerical computing. I think the key is polymorphism: a vector is a matrix is a tensor is a number, and they can all be multiplied in the same way, once you define what multiply is.

Poor support is more about the lack of haskell coders doing ML. It's hard to compete without the numbers that other platforms enjoy.

This is an excellent link, thanks for that! Pettis goes over similar identities, but this is much pithier, and all in one place.

(Probably: Pettis assumes his readership already knows these things; I'm definitely not as savvy as his intended reader I think.)
But that's what you have to do on limited hardware. Raycasting is awesome, but it's a hacked, inverse raytracing limited to a single ray plane.

What made the bouncing ball awesome was the fact that it could be done thanks to the planar video setup and powerful blitter compared to the chunked video system IBM-compatible's were using up through SVGA.
I'm more or less in the same boat. So far, it's not too bad; the community around it is fantastic.
Opinions differ, but I hope most will agree that the sooner human judgement is removed from the roadways, the better. Self-driving vehicles are apparently already safer than real-world human-driven vehicles, and there's little reason to think that the latter will ever improve.
nice. Kappa Architecture mentioned ! :) -> https://github.com/ssbc/scuttlebot
Without a non-pre-rendered demo video actually demonstrating how it works (and to a lesser extent, without color), it seems like a pretty steep price point for paper.
We also have immigration into the US. I read somewhere that growth in the population vis-a-vis immigration (and the higher birth rate of recent immigrants) propped up US growth, and explains both why the US didn't suffer as badly as Europe post-recession, and also why our demographics will look better down the road (better ratio of workers to dependents).

Japan has very little immigration. Europe and America are obviously grappling with these issues politically, but it's pretty clear from the economic numbers that immigration is important for growth if you don't have stable population growth. (Japan and parts of Europe are in decline, as would the US be if not for immigration, I believe.)
