The power of DVCS is in that each developer who clones a repository has a fully-functioning local repository complete with history, which can be committed to freely and seamlessly merged into the upstream later.

As opposed to the traditional version control model where, e.g. every commit effectively requires a rebase against the remote and the history cannot be retrieved without a connection to the remote.

The "D" in "DVCS" is about having many copies of the repository, not about having _no_ central repository, which is still a core part of having an effective delivery workflow and very much encouraged by the baked-in concept of a default remote repository.

It's a distinction of technology, not of workflow.

This is really a common misunderstanding about what makes DVCS an effective concept.

I've been using a cross-platform GUI framework/engine to do app development on all the platforms: Linux, MacOS, Windows, iOS and Android - and it has been a joy to deploy one app on all of these systems.

One of the reasons this has been so feasible has been the fact that the engine (MOAI) uses GL ES to manage the framebuffer itself - giving the same look and feel on all platforms the host runs. This has been, honestly, revolutionary in terms of building a single app that runs everywhere.

This now becomes more complicated because the engine has to be modified for Apple platforms to use Metal, and represents another fork/splinter in the unity of the host itself.

I wonder if their decision to use a non-standard graphics API is due to them wanting to make this style of development a lot more difficult in the future - i.e. are Apple passively antagonizing the cross-platform framework builders in order to establish an outlier condition for their platforms? The cynic in me says yes, of course this is what they are doing ..

You are wrong because games released in the past few years are heavily multithreaded. The only game recently that I've seen not be multithreaded is Battletech. The latest Total War series are heavily multithreaded.
As far as the cores go on consoles, game developers try to use all of them all the time, and in general there's only one core that is half dedicated to doing OS / interaction / video recording tasks.
If you have an actual response you should take the time to write it or not respond at all. Just saying “don’t have time to explain but this is wrong” doesn’t do much good.
Spot on. I usually summarize it with clients as "you have to show people you can lead yourself before you can lead others" and that usually gets the idea across. If you wouldn't follow yourself as a leader, then you have some personal work to do.

To your second point, one definition of leadership is "getting people to want to do what you want them to do." That's also a pretty reasonable definition, and the way to do that is by providing context.

I always ask 3 questions in my discussions:

What is the company's mission?

How is your team contributing to the mission?

How does the work you're doing today contribute to the mission?

If a leader, and everyone on their team, knows the answers to all three of those questions, at all times, then they will probably be very effective.

Weirdly I assume then accessing via google cache does comply with the GDPR (otherwise they could of course block google via robots.txt).

From memory, google cache still fetches assets from the original site (and I think also triggers Javascript?) so it's possible this is kind of moot?

Guess the issue is similar, if I access from Europe via a US proxy. I'd assume those accesses are still covered by the GDPR, but it's not clear to me. Anybody know?

It's a pretty good rendition. Greek pronunciation has shifted a lot from ancient to modern. See, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iotacism. Among other things, the accentuation has gone from pitch, which comes out nicely in this version (though we don't know precisely what it sounded like), to stress. So while it may look quite familiar to you reading it, it would have sounded very different. There was a Modern Greek speaker in the intro to Ancient Greek class I took in college, and I remember him remarking how disorienting it was.
I'd say that was slightly factious.

You still benefit from the extra hardware for bursty loads. Eg opening applications, loading webpages etc etc.

And if you actually look at typical mobile phone usage patterns virtually all loads are bursty. This even applies to ultrabooks and thin & lights. As a programmer I almost never run my CPU at 100% for more than a few seconds at a time.

The differance here is that this phone is designed for long loads, ie gaming, others are not so.

Ask HN: How would your ideal AI programming language be?
I'm interested in PLT and language design and a great way to learn these subjects could be creating my own programming language.

I think there is an niche in the AI field. Yes, you have Python, C++, Go and so on. But none of them has been designed with common IA problems in mind and often have issues in performance, facility of use and debug or lack of features.

So I wonder, what would you love to have in your language when you are writting an AI algorithm or system?

> I commute for 3 hours a day

Do you think it's worth it?

I can't imagine putting in the amount of hours you do, so wondering do you enjoy it? Is the work worth it? And is it because there's no alternative?

My own situation is UK, non-London based. I've been offered jobs there but the commute and house prices just wouldn't do it for me. Right now I have a nice job, nowhere near London salaries but very good for the area, and a nice twenty minute walk to and from work in the morning. If it's raining I just take a 5 minute metro train. Not saying I'm better or worse, just interested in hearing from someone with a very different day to day experience.

Git wasn't the winner, GitHub was and now is the time to fix that
Two years ago the article "Git didn’t beat SVN, GitHub did" -- https://blog.gitprime.com/git-didnt-beat-svn-github-did/ -- was published. Among the people quoted in this article was YCombinator Partner Jared Friedman who pointed out that GitHub's free hosting for open source projects was a big reason people put their personal projects there, learned about the site, and encouraged adoption by their employers.

Another thoughtful article -- https://gregoryszorc.com/blog/2013/05/12/thoughts-on-mercurial-(and-git)/ -- points out that Git is overly complicated and flawed in many respects, and that services like GitHub conceal the warts with nice UI and tooling, handling and protecting users from the more dangerous aspects of branching and merging that Git doesn't even try to make easy.

And speaking of online service and pull requests: the concept of a pull request is something that's not really part of Git itself but a tooling feature popularized by GitHub.

Perhaps NOW is the time to consider alternatives not only to GitHub but to Git itself: alternatives which are more user friendly and more feature complete.

It's different because I don't have a commercial stake in the game, I just really care about privacy and my posting history and blogging history back that up.

So that's how it is different.
We all liked github. It's not github anymore. Let's pretend it's call MS Hub and now tell me you still like it. If you do, that's fine.

By moving now you're doing a number of things. First, you're telling your contributors and users that you don't like having access to your software controlled by MS. Second, you're supporting their competitor now when they need you, rather than when you need them. Github's competitors may not be around in 5-10 years when you will finally need them, unless they are supported now. Thirdly, it tells MS that you will move if they meddle again, if everyone jumps ship for gitlab et al. then they are much less likely to buy gitlab down the road.

GitHUb use DGit to (effectively) get loose objects on demand and cache them locally.

I think part of the difference in perspective is that many people would say that it didn’t matter who the CEO was; Nokia didn’t have the DNA to do smartphones. In the same way that Motorola didn’t.

I think any possible governance issues are really overshadowed by the intrinsic difficulty of dealing with paradigm shift.

Expertise in radio, hardware, baseband and all sorts of other great stuff didn’t translate well into phones getting bigger than computers used to be and managing the software complexity that came along with it. They did the old school engineering super well but it wasn’t enough.

Yes there’s enormous history there and they did a bunch of things that presaged the modern smartphone but it needed a different kind of company and a different engineering culture to build the things that took over the market.

Maybe they could have done it with a visionary type CEO but it would take an extraordinary person to have turned that ship around. In retrospect the iceberg and the flaws in the ship are obvious but Nokia was a very successful company and those are the hardest to change.

In any case this is why I would argue that comparing Nokia with Tesla is wrong; Tesla has its flaws but it seems likely that it’s on the right side of the paradigm shift.
> The past few days, Hacker News should have been called GitLab News.

You did notice the announcement that Microsoft has agreed to buy GitHub? I suspect that and nothing else is what drives the attention to GitLab which operates in the same space.

To be fair, the system works pretty well on the whole. One of the reasons I switch to Uber/Lyft because of the extreme attention on customer service. Drivers are very motivated to keep customers happy. That's a big difference to cab rides.

I've had many one-star cab rides (joy ride several times as long, verbally abusive, etc.). I've only had one bad experience on a Lyft/Uber. But the quality of the typical experience is much higher too.

It's imperfect, but I think the problem is more with:

* unreasonable performance thresholds;
* misuse of statistical significance;
* use of data in isolation; and
* misuse of data

The other issues described mostly wash out after a few hundred rides. On the other hand, automatically firing people who fall below 4.6 stars without so much as a conversation is a little bit insane. On the other hand, many human managers do things which are insane too; nothing's perfect.

On the whole, eBay has been pretty reliable for me due to ratings, but I did get cheated twice because of similar misuse.

In one case, I ordered a premium item for about 50 bucks. They sent a low-end item which costs about 10 bucks. It wasn't obvious; for the most part, people wouldn't realize it until months later. Most ratings were high, with maybe 1 in 100 people pointing out the item was not as advertised.

eBay wasn't concerned. Credit card required an expert appraisal. Federal trade commission doesn't deal with this sort of thing. Seller appeared to be raking in about $500k per year profit on fraud. After no one cared, I decided to follow eBay's, credit card's, and FTC's lead, and say that for $50, it wasn't worth my time either.

But I stopped shopping for anything which could be forged on eBay (chemicals, fabrics, materials, jewelry, SD cards, etc.).

If eBay combined normal mechanisms with ratings, it'd be pretty easy to stay reliable. Alibaba does this -- there's a real conflict resolution process.
If you want maximum energy efficiency, build city centers in cold climates where the excess heat can be used. Yandex has data center in city of Mäntsälä, Finland and they provide 50 percent of the heating needs.

Even more advanced concept, combined district heating and cooling. With combined district heating and cooling and integrate data centers into them. Data center heat can be used in cold regions for heating. Combined heat pump/chiller units can produce both heat and cooling at the same time. Sea water (trough absorption chillers) is used for cooling apartments, offices and data centers. Heat from data centers, purified waste water, etc. is used for heating apartments. During winter more heat is utilized. During summers more water cooling is utilize.

> "The problem, mental health experts say, is that police should not be the ones to check on suicidal people in the first place."

This is a very uninformed statement. For 911 and/or police calls, there is an extensively well-established (to put it mildly) precedent that the safety of an area must be secured by police before medical personnel are even allowed on scene. There are very good reasons for this-- you don't want to have your primary emergency medical responders taken out by a delusional shooter when other emergencies will be coming up soon that require them, all too often for matters of life & death.

> " 'The moral of this story is don’t call the cops,' Cassandra said. “If you know someone who is having a mental health crisis, call a friend, a trusted neighbor, or someone close by who can safely intervene. Keep the number to a volunteer emergency medical service in your city or neighborhood that can be called directly"

This I agree with. For people familiar with the situation and person/people involved (if they exist), a much more appropriate response can be conducted. There are numerous accounts of these situations leading to the arrest of the individual in crisis, which of course can make things much, much worse for them. I know someone it happened to.
Because having one as master and one as slave is exactly the problem i'm trying to solve here.

I want both to be master, so that users who are comfortable on both platforms are willing to make contributions to the codebase, so that any one service/system going down won't stop development, and so that as the "community" migrates around different platforms they can always find the full version of the software.

Recommending simplifying a process to the point that it no longer solves the problem it's trying to solve isn't helpful.

> The extra energy will kickstart processes that nurture life.

Why would that be the case? If this were the case, the biological density of the highest-temperature locations in the ocean should be significantly higher than average. This has not been observed. Quite the opposite, actually.

Secondly, in thermodynamic terms, heat is the least useful form of energy. Heat is often the waste product of a chemical/mechanical process and cannot be easily be converted into other forms of energy without significant loss.

And no offense, but water and carbon are both trivial well defined concepts. Energy is also fairly well defined.

What library or framework did you use? Using ExecutorService or similar would still have those 100 threads blocked even if they run in their own future, correct? The only thing it would allow is queuing the other incoming requests, but it does not time slice or switch to another request upon hitting an IO request.
Have been using it for years and years and would thoroughly recommend.
