This implementation is freely licenced enough that the BSDs and others that don't use Git for license reasons could use it.

It would be interesting to see an alternative implementation like this get enough feature parity that projects like the BSDs could migrate and still be protocol and worktree compatible so most users could continue using the GPL2 implementation.

Edit: Seems people here are unaware that the BSDs treat GPL software like cooties, see e.g. [1]. They wouldn't start using source control that gave them less freedom than SVN, an with CVS there's the expectation that OpenCVS might get finished.

It's hardly only BLM who doesn't want police in pride parades. The phenomenon of gay-pride marches started on June 28, 1970, to commemorate the one-year anniversary of an NYPD raid on a gay bar in New York, and the movement has as a result been very anti-cop since the beginning. It's only in recent years, as corporate Democrats and other politicians of that kind have found it fashionable to join the movement, that anyone would dream of inviting cops to a pride parade in the first place. Unsurprisingly, not everyone is on board with the change.

Unless you use an extremely narrow definition of "thinking" (yours is not commonly accepted among animal researchers, and is IMO too tautological to be useful), this is clearly disproven by decades of animal cognition research.

Animals can form future-oriented plans, engage in risk management activities, can remember inventories of items stored in safekeeping locations, develop "cultural" dialects to their vocalization patterns, and much more. You can find a good start on the current state of the research here

Worth noting that "fun" in this case means player fun, not programmer fun. My productivity and my enjoyment of game development in C++ are secondary to the user's enjoyment of the finished game, and this is where the author's point gets more interesting and valuable. There are a lot of comments here already talking about fun, code safety, and productivity from the programmer's point of view, which IMO misses the most important part.

As a game programmer, building systems with fast turnaround times is more valuable to the artists and designers in the studio than for me personally. And the value in the artists and designers and programmers all having fast turnaround time is in being able to make a game that's more fun for the consumers.
"MIDI is dead.

The latency, is simply not musical. I have worked with midi since the early 90s. Its a low baud serial connection. Play 5 notes at once? Nope, its now a really fast appregio."

I suspect that's wholly upon your equipment. I've got an old 486 with an AWE32 on it. Never once in my life have I encountered the problems you describe and my keyboard was a DIN5 connected Korg.

"Got a nicer keyboard that sends velocity, aftertouch and control commands? Even more quickly flooded."

Let me guess, you were using the game port on the back of your sound card instead of a sound card with a dedicated MIDI input/output?
Yeah; that's what you get with nation-state resources. How long does it really take to reverse-engineer a target like HDD firmware? Give a good hacker a month and they could probably figure it out for one HDD -- now realize the government can hire, train and supply hundreds of people like this.

Sure, it costs billions. But to a nation-state, billions are easy to find.

This is why modern security tools and practices are really only going to be capable of keeping out criminal organizations and mass-hacks. If a nation-state decides to target you, there is really no way you can defend against it. Often they are able to undermine the trust mechanisms in place through sheer resource asymmetry (they have the compute resources to brute-force SSL key collisions -- they did this with Stuxnet to fake a Microsoft signing cert to push the payload via a MITMed Windows Update).

There are even reports of three-letter-agencies intercepting routers during shipment, desolderig chips from the board, and replacing them with "bugged" chips containing back doors in hardware; then packaging it all up and getting it delivered on-time.

You just can't fight that kind of power; even as a company as large as Google or Apple. Nation states will always be able to probe and exploit the edge cases in your security model. In general, you can't make anything totally secure, but you can try to make it cost enough to break into that it will deter anyone who can't justify the cost.

> Animals don't think, because thinking requires language and abstract brain circuitry which animals still didn't evolve.

Animals certainly can think. And they have limited language, certainly not as complex as ours, but they are capable of communicating with each other.

Just because humans are much smarter doesn't mean animals don't think.

> Look at toddlers to grasp what it means.

Toddlers certainly think, though not on the same level as older children and adults. And certainly many animals like chimps, pigs and crows can think better than toddlers.

> Animals only feel.

If animals only felt and couldn't think, how can they think to use tools?

No of course there isn't.

And if you're only just now figuring that out, now in 2017? Then you haven't been paying attention.

Come on, protesting hasn't been real since the requirement of having "permits", and the creation of "free speech zones". We live in a tyrannical police state masquerading as a peaceful democracy, where trouble makers are gunned down by death squads who are later pardoned by the courts.

Just posting a comment like this on the internet will lead to downvoting and social penalties. Did you know that this site participates in the practice of "hell-banning"? That is where they silently blacklist people for expressing their unpopular opinions about any particular subject. Those people can no longer contribute, but they believe that they can because the system lets them post. But nobody ever sees their comments. It's the exact same thing as what the government does.

Many of "the people" belong to the tyrants' pyramid of control and those who don't are brainwashed by it.

It's quite convenient to think that, because we eat animals.

I'm not a vegetarian, I enjoy steak and pork chops a lot.

But I think animals, especially cows and pigs, are more conscious of their existence than we like to think.

I tend to agree that speech plays a central role in how our thoughts are organized, but I think the importance of being able to articulate oneself /with language/ as a measure of consciousness and intelligence is generally overestimated.
> because they don't threaten those in power,

Yeah okay you try threatening people in power and see how far that gets you. They will show up at your house with machine guns, murder your entire family, and then they'll lie about what happened to the neighbors. "Drug bust gone wrong" or something. If you're a person who exercises your 2nd amendment rights they'll say you had a "cache of weapons". Remember WACO? That's what they do to people who threaten those in power.

The neighbors will believe whatever they're told, for 2 reasons. They don't want to believe that life is a nightmare, or they are already terrified for their lives and want to go on clinging to whatever table scraps they're currently feeding on.

This stuff has been going on for many many years.

I'm suspicious of the "made conservative" notion there. If someone's devotion political point of view A is so shallow that some people being irritating is enough to change them to B forever, I suspect they were always a dispositional B.

Young people getting conservative as they get older is nothing new. As Douglas Adams wrote:

“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”

And that's for something as neutral as tech. The older people get, the more they get out of the status quo. My dad jokes that he got a lot more conservative when his bank account had something in it.

Yes!

After Trump was elected, I went to my first street protests and I was shocked at how positive it felt. The sense of community and togetherness was amazing. I talked to more strangers that day than I had in the previous year. People were kind, and funny, welcoming.
Applied to 20 remote jobs and landed 7 interviews
Hey everyone.

I recently returned to the states after working remotely and traveling to 12 countries in seven months. Almost everyone I met while traveling asked me how I could work while traveling. I wanted to show them but digging into the technicalities is not exactly a fun conversation with a new friend. This inspired me to create a little course about it.

You don’t have to sign up for anything. You can view and download a PDF version of the course here: http://robertgibb.me/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Full-Remote-Job-Course.pdf.

The course is five days/lessons long. I’m currently looking for a new remote job and have applied to 20 remote jobs using the same process I preach in the course. Of those 20 applications, seven have landed me interviews.

If you like what you see in the PDF and want to receive time-based emails to keep you on track, you can sign up for the course here: http://robertgibb.me/free-remote-job-course/. One lesson is sent each day, Monday through Friday.

If you have any questions, let me know. I’m here to help. I’m currently taking a month off from travel and work so have some free time.

Definition of thinking, like definition of sex, or any other biological trait cannot be broadened. That would yield nonsense.

Thinking implies language. Without language it is feeling. Period.

Learning from experience, map making and even planning, as one might see in case of machine learning and other branches of AI, does not require thinking. It is a lower level of activity, relative to abstract reasoning, like pattern recognition.
I prefer to re root the question into primitive (as in thermodynamically) survival. Everything in our system inherited millions of years of response to chaos and sustaining self structure. Machines are thinking already, above average person logical ability. The issue is elsewhere. All we do, even logical processes emerged from that legacy of survival. That's where I draw a line between animal life forms (including us) and machines, even advanced ones.

This has not been my experience with strongly and statically typed systems. The biggest problem is the coding is not fast; especially if you make a change that requires "shaking the tree". Turnaround to me is as much about the code you write as it is the results you get from that code.

For example, I start my program thinking that I need a duck for all of my various waterfowl systems. However, four days into the coding process, I realize I need to allow for an ugly duckling to be passed around as well. Now I have four days worth of code to comb through and re-type. I could just use a refactoring tool to change all of the existing 'duck' types, but some of that code actually does need a duck, and won't work with an ugly duckling. So I have to come up with a more abstract type which can encompass both an ugly duckling and a duck, and refactor that into my program.

Eventually my code will be correct again, at least until I realize that a platypus needs to be included into my now-renamed aquatic_ecosystem as well.

The nice thing about strong and dynamically typed systems - I just start treating the incoming object as what I need it to be. No error chasing, no wading through four days worth of code. Yes, I'm more likely to have incorrect code, and it's probably going to show up while the code is running, and not before. Many times, that's a tradeoff I'm willing to accept.

My ideal system? I don't think at all about types. I just write code, and the (still fast) compiler will tell me when I'm passing something that doesn't quack to a function which expects quacks.
Google gives me the following two definitions for "think":

1. have a particular opinion, belief, or idea about someone or something.

2. direct one's mind toward someone or something; use one's mind actively to form connected ideas

Neither seems to mention language as a pre-requisite. In any case, you seem to have strong beliefs contrary to my understanding of animal research, so I will not bother you further.

Have a good day.

I think the biggest barrier is people setting their friends up or people running demos and not properly adjusting the headset (vertically, in/out, and the IPD slider) before starting. Or not cleaning the lenses, etc.

There is definitely a "wow" factor to a properly set up headset, but incompetent demos won't help you there.
You're right that there isn't any conflict between supporting civil rights and the working class, but identity politics is a perversion of social justice that treats everyone according to their external characteristics. In this case, working class whites have heard about how privileged they are to be white (while everyone's wages have risen around them) and how racist they are for opposing the illegal immigration that threatens their stability. And this is coming to them largely from upper and upper-middle class elites with no skin in the game, who largely make no attempt to understand their perspective.

Mind you, the GOP and Trump aren't models of virtue. The message isn't "the Dems should be more like the Reps", it's "be compassionate and nuanced and stop abusing the innocent people you depend on".
Sigh... I never said the problem can be solved only by a blockchain. But the problem does exist in some countries and the blockchain does solve it.

Also the problems of the Finnish system that cryptocurrencies solve are obvious: your system has low-ish daily/monthly limits, and your system only works with 0.05% of the world's population (namely those with a Finnish bank account). In an era of European and international trade, that is ridiculous.

No need to narrow this down to genetics. Just say "how fast you recover", thanks.

Hello Hackernews community,

https://www.brunoe.com is a location-based search and comparison tool.

It searches housing options from different sources at once and allows you to compare the listings based on price, distances and other options on a map.

For example, you will be able to view a particular apartment in San Francisco and see ads from Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace and other home-share/roommate startups -- and compare its offerings and prices against each other or the traditional rent prices.

As of writing this, the app has just gone live. So right now there isn't a lot of listings yet (just a few dozen in San Francisco and the Bay Area). However if you feel nice, you can help me by clicking the "Add Your Website" button. Just put the URL in there and the listing will get indexed onto the app.

The goal of this tool is to provide the best ways to compare the offerings from all housing listings and help you discover new housing options that you may not have thought about (such as home-sharing or living in an airstream van).

In the next coming days, as I continue to work on the crawling/indexing system and process, the listings in the SF/Bay area will become populated pretty quickly.

I look forward to reading your feedbacks! Thank you!
The second link wasn't done with officers in Seattle, it was done with officers in Spokane. Washington gets a lot more rural once you leave the Seattle area, so I think it's a lot more representative than you give it credit for. Honestly you seem to be operating from the assumption that the median police officer is a racist rather than giving the benefit of the doubt.

None of the articles or studies undercuts BLM. They're meant to show that the situation is more complicated and nuanced and teasing out proper and actionable conclusions will take more data and time. But that kind of headline doesn't get you eyeballs and clicks.
