As a long time user of Fossil who periodically tries to persuade others to use it, the challenges I have seen getting others to adopt fossil that echo XWattts comments include:

Look and feel. I have tried different UI themes - github and stackoverflowesque (so-skin.txt) are the most successful in getting buys in - but out of the box fossil, tends not to get a great initial response and it is suprising how many people just stop there.

Fossil timeline graph is different from Github commit view - which is the main tool many of devs I work have only used. I much much prefer Fossil graph view to Github commits I find it a lot more helpful, but others do not see it this way. This can usually be quickly solves with some on boarding training, but it is a small initial barrier friction point to adoption.

Tickets and timeline - Actual user feedback said while trying to get a colleague to use Fossil -" In tickets and timeline - Whats this weird jumble of letters i have to click on - why can I not click on the ticket title?" While obliviously all tickets need a unique identifier - do i need to look at it all the time, or can I reveal it only when i need it? This is comes up frequently.

One of the biggest barriers to adoption that has prevented me getting adoption in wider teams is - as silly as this sounds - not directly scm functionally related but user experience on connected items for tickets.

I personally love the fact I can have issues and docs in same repo as code - it was one of the first things that attracted me to Fossil and has proven itself on my own projects repeatedly. However I loose people every time I bring up the issues page up because its not how many teams work today - they use tools with a Kanban interface that connects or is associated to their repo. I was very excited to Steve Landers initial work (http://www.eurotcl.tcl3d.org/eurotcl-2016/presentations/Euro...) in this direction - but that seems to have not progressed into Fossil core - i hope it does (or something like it) go into Fossil-NG.

Last but not least and not web interface but workflow related is CI integration. I now know Ron Perrella developed a Jenkins plugin (see https://github.com/rjperrella/jenkins-fossil-adapter ) but when this question came up - I did not have an answer and could not find anything on the home page etc.

I like using Fossil - its easy to use and has a great feature set but the above are some of the issues that I have seen that caused folks to stop looking at it and go back to other tools they use today.
I don't think Newspapers have a lot of money to give away these days.
>Instead we should properly tax the billionaires, and then elect public officials who value public education, so they can figure out how to improve schools with the advice and help of all of the local stakeholders.

So you're saying that Zuckerberg should run for president? I understand that what you are suggesting will be effective, I just don't see how that translates into something that Zuckerburg should do.

Assuming Zuckerberg is honest in his intention on his education initiatives, Fixing the tax code would be noble for someone like him, but would pit him against other billionaires and would likely be a decades long detour on his immediate goal. Secondly, I don't see how he could suddenly influence general voting populace to suddenly care about education (save for propaganda delivered via facebook (maybe unethical), or going into politics (who wants Zuck to be POTUS))?

As I understand it, you seem to be arguing that the problems are not Zuck's to solve, and therefore he shouldn't try (or his piles of money will cause more harm than good).
Wind energy maybe. I would imagine heat is only useful if you have a temperature gradient somewhere.
One variable here might be that people have very different levels of sensitivity to motion sicknesses. I'm hyper sensitive. Most carnival rides will disable me for hours. While others can't get enough.

So the issue Murdoch is discussing would be relative to the viewer. This is obviously a problem in a mass medium, where making accessible films, and films accessible, requires mind boggling effort.
> sorry your post is juvenile garbage. banks do not suppress industry or consumers, they finance it.

It's a complicated problem. Sometimes they do their job with so much passion that "industry and consumers" seem to depend on them, i.e. on the banks, instead of vice-versa. See the 2007-2008 crisis and the cries of "the world will die if we let the banks fail".
No, from what I understand, you can't even do it in software anyway due to how the caches work between cores inside the CPU.

Watching this was enlightening to say the least (and the presenter is very good): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQFzMfHIxng
Good god no. Zuckerberg would be a terrible president (less narcissistic and less stupid than the current one, but perhaps just as dangerous), without the appropriate qualifications, experience, vision, talent, or track record (other than a boatload of money, which I guess in this post-Citizens-United world can substitute for anything else). The concept of having a cabal of CEO billionaires with no political or policymaking experience explicitly in charge of the US government not only leads to terrible outcomes in practice, but is un-American in principle.

Zuckerberg should focus his attention on running his business in an ethical and civically minded way (a lot of low hanging fruit here if he wants to critically examine and do something about Facebook’s sometimes negative effects on people’s lives, news media, and on civic institutions in general), and should not try to single-handedly decide the future form of public institutions.

If Zuckerberg wants to put his money to good use as a private citizen, he should donate it to a charity with a successful track record and expert leadership instead of trying to exert personal control in a field he knows nothing about or turn everything into a personal PR stunt, or he should spend his effort on lobbying against unlimited anonymous spending in political campaigns, probably the most civically corrosive recent trend in American politics.
Actually, no. Laws are made by the Legislature, so communications directed to your legislators can express a view about laws you feel should be enacted, repealed or modified.

The FCC is a regulatory body, with certain authority and areas of concern. The rule making is delegated to the appointed members of the commission. Rules != Laws. If a rule breaks a law, you don’t have to take it to SCOTUS to overturn the rule; a suit in a Federal circuit or charges from law enforcement will usually do the trick.

All that said, the FCC is there to serve the people and should consider the impact rules will have on society and listen to all voices. They are not limited to accepting only legal input for their rule making processes.

The app is in a perfect niche for preventing the human conditions that lead to the #1 stressor of potentially-sick human beings: Researching it on the internet.

The title makes sense. Anyone with facial skin conditions is extremely sensitive about them, almost universally across humanity. It's not the hook I would have chosen - "AI medical apps can use photos to tell you to stop or start worrying more accurately than your friends".

This entire category of apps is a godsend, because it lets human beings go from "I'm worried about X, but not enough to see doctor Y" to "I'm worried about X, so let's try app Z". Humans will try anything once^ if it lets them be lazy about something^^, and I can think of at least X skin things that I'll check out as soon as I can get ahold of this app.

Because that's how we are. Monkeys preening, gone deluxe form. It's not a criticism, but giving us an app that lets us preen ourselves and get reasonably sound advice back is pretty cool. Half the point of bandages is to shield our brain from being able to see a wound, so that it stops obsessing over it.

This app is certainly going to give better advice than I'd get from a random stranger, because they (probably) have scientific method. If I was going to go to a doctor for X, I would have already. And a random stranger likely has a higher error rate than their neural network.

Also, I can't begin to convey how great it is to be able to show an app my skin instead of another human being. Humans are scary. Apps aren't, for better or for worse. If the app says I need a doctor, fine, I'll go.

Consistent? Where? Windows changes its style with each version. Macs may be more consistent, but they're the exception and I never owned a mac. Linux is a rainbow of diversity.

Unless someone puts in the extra effort to style the application, nothing will look consistent cross platform.

And if you want "native, consistent, desktop applications" (for the current platform), Qt has that out of the box and Swing had a native look and feel that looked pretty consistent on Windows 7 at least.
It takes time for a leader to get to know a new organization when the join it. They are not privy to that level of insider information before getting inside. Whether a CEO is ready for a position is a question of skills, not a question of knowledge. During the first few months, the focus is on gaining knowledge, not skills. So yes. Give the guy a break. This could in no way have been expected to be high on his priority list if the threat was already dealt with.

The message from the US administration to skilled migrants is loud and clear: you're not welcome to the US, don't waste your time, don't commit yourself to a country that has no interest in treating you like anything else aside from an expendable resource with no promise of a future.

Use your skills and intellect and go to countries that value talent. There's excellent job opportunities in Canada, Western Europe and even many of the originating countries for a lot of potential migrants nowadays. Venture capital is starting to realize this and slowly but surely they'll fund efforts in startups outside of the US.

I looked into opportunities in the US and the uncertainty of the migratory status is way too much, combined with the horrendous cost of living in coastal American cities. I'd rather look into German or French companies, or just work remote for a fraction of an American salary but with much greater opportunities to save money.
I'm pretty sure that sooner or later you run out of places where the bearings aren't particularly needed, not to mention the extra work in transferring makes the system slower. I think the destroying of the factories was successful in its objectives.
The technical implementations and actions speak louder than words.

Bitcoin maximalists try to rationalize their design flaws, but ultimately it's simply software running a service. There are new teams working on improving designs and useful features meanwhile core has stagnated and stalled for years.

Is this sequence also part of the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS)? I didn't find it at my first attempt, because apparently one needs more items from the sequence to identify it correctly. Also, it is not clear to me with which value "infinity" should be replaced (perhaps 0? or better -1?)

There are tricks to avoid it if you really want to. Precompiled headers, force instantiating templates you need with LTO enabled and caching. Merging source files in the build system (possible thanks to ODR). Calling the compiler with many source files at once to use compiler cache.

The remaining inefficiency is supposed to go away with the upcoming module system.

I found Epstein's book on Sugarscape, "Growing artificial societies: social science from the bottom up", to be fascinating. I'm not much of a programmer but I've tinkered around with various basic implementations of his simulations a fair bit.

It's sorta unfortunate that for the most part the graphics wind up being so rudimentary. Besides not really being able to convey all the things going on in the simulation the end result ends up being a lot less compelling than reading the book about it... or at least to my mind it did.
> Just making sure I understand this correctly: so at a high level you're just trading software locks for hardware locks

But the use of hardware ‘locks’ here has the ‘lock-free’ property. (‘Lock-free’ and ‘locks’ do not use exactly the same definition of ‘lock’.)
I submit as counter evidence the masts that high frequency traders want to build in Kent, UK. I believe the point is that they can replace some of the fibre in the link between London and Frankfurt with radio, which has a higher speed of light.

I also reckon that a modern router can forward a packet in a microsecond. Once you don't involve software in the data plane, routing a packet should only take a few clock cycles.

Thats misusing the term responsible disclosure.

Once they knew any something was leaked, no matter what, the responsible move is to inform everyone to give them a chance to lock down their shit. More time or knowledge of where the data is won't save anyone.

As for the "other attacker" excuse, how would that work? Just from knowing that data was leaked no new attacker can deduce the weakness used.

They would have to tumble the bitcoin so that the sale is not linked to their bitcoin. Then, they can cash it out by trading it in an exchange and withdrawing usd to their bank, or they can trade it for cash on something like localbitcoins.com. The Bitcoin/usd market is liquid enough to absorb this amount of money.
Herd immunity kicks in at well below 100% vaccination coverage, and that is good news for those who really can't vaccinate.
Surprised no one has mentioned doing this in a physical notebook with a pen. I started doing what the author describes a long time ago to document bugs to come back to later. I soon realized it's just a good way to keep my thoughts organized and be more productive. I tried doing something similar with a text editor but grew tired switching screens or tabs. A notebook is also a bit more accessible than a laptop when you leave your desk. During lunch I can read through my notes.
If you change organisation and were working on a closed source project, you lose everything. You need to keep your notes on a higher level though (i.e. not describing confidential information). Plus I believe that a commit is generally only covers the third point ("Describe the process of carrying out the method").

My point was, that in a situation with "herd immunity" even the unvaccinated have close to zero chance of infection.

Without herd immunity, benefits of vaccination strictly dominate, even if you just consider the individual.

How can we make this happen with ipfs itself? :)
> But as long as they only add you if you have actually sent spam this should be ok.

What's this mean though? How are they judging? I've worked for a company that soley sent transactional email from the domain and IP address in question (basically just receipts and password reset. Not even our (fully-opt in, optted-out-by-default) newsletters was ever sent from this domain and IP. Every few weeks we'd have to contend with some blacklist because a user had (mistakenly?) marked one of our emails as spam.

From my experience, it's an extremely inexact and sensitive, but neither precise nor accurate, process.

(Not to mention the time one of the major providers just began blackholeing the same server despite SPF and DKIM. No rejection message in the logs, just many, many, many customer support calls about missing receipts.)

Well that is actually true.

A 'thanks' does not do anything for me. I don't write a library for other people's appreciation, I write it because I want to, because I can, and because I have my own interests for it.

Insofar I am interacting with other people on the project, the only thing that does anything for me is if they contribute something.

Appreciation is not worth anything to me but I am also deeply introvert and not very social, I simply do not care. I can appreciate most people feel different (by observation) but I build technology because I want it to exist and do things, not to be thanked.
> When your large neighbor in that area, increases military spending every year why do think that is?

I wonder how often Canada or Mexico asked themselves that very same question?

> They are ETERNAL neighbors and have eternal (well in our timescale) interests.

These can still end up aligning, case in point: Not too long ago nobody would have thought it possible for the British and their former colonial settlers to exist in peace. These days they don't only just exist in peace, they are pretty much partners in crime.

The same applies to Europe: Nations that formerly despised each other for decades and centuries are now working for their common interests.
I don't see why similar couldn't be possible in Asia/Eastern Europe/Africa.

> See what Russia did in Ukraine?

Protect their interests from an, very obviously, staged "Western coup"? I really hate how that whole Ukraine situation is reduced to this narrative of "Look what Russia did to Ukraine!" like that whole situation just started with the "green men" appearing. The green men had been a reaction, not the action which started events.

As the saying goes "thou doth protest too much, methinks." China will SAY anything - you might recall China promising to float its currency in the Bush years when this was a sticking point in trade - a float that happened in name only and so the request to actually float currency remains in US trade negotiations with China.
