Rebasing is perfectly fine for shared branches, all you have to do is pull —rebase and push —force-with-lease when changing branch history.

I do this at work for all the feature projects I work on with my team.

You mostly run into problems when people get confused about what is happening when they see the branch history has changed.

Git histories are wonderful and immutable so messing around with commits is quite easy if you know how to move branches around to undo changes if you mess up.
I know these words are unacceptable. It's the very conservative person in my family who insists we are unfairly complaining about his racism, he calls it tone policing or some other bs - it's just using racist words, exposing his soul.

An Apology for the Internet – From the People Who Built It
> That's true, but I've given this a lot of thought, and I've come to the conclusion that it's simply impractical and inhumane to forbid romantic/sexual interest in a professional setting. Let's face it, most new people you meet in your adult life, you meet through your job, and many people start relationships and even marriages with their coworkers.

Romance in the workplace shouldn't be forbidden under any and all circumstances but there should be a number of definite parameters:

I don't think there is anything wrong with politely inviting someone to hang out after work to see if the interest is mutual. If the answer is no, that's it, you don't ask again.

Expressing 'sexual interest' at work to me means communicating that you want to have sex with someone, which I don't think is appropriate at work. That would be along the lines of inviting someone to spend the night, sexual innuendos, or other forms of flirting. All of that is problematic in the workplace.

Some people will argue, "What if the interest is mutual?" Sure, but many people don't/won't perceive when it is not, and work is not for finding sexual partners.

'Romantic interest' is more along the lines of communicating you'd want to date someone. Even that is not something that should be going on at work. If two coworkers establish a connection and pursue that outside of work, ok.

Even then, a superior should never date subordinates. And in a sales or investment situation, it should be off limits to proposition someone seeking the sale/investment. Someone pitching their startup shouldn't feel pressure to reciprocate someone else's advances in order to preserve a chance for funding.

> I think we should encourage emotional maturity and sensible behaviour instead. Although this too is difficult, because most people can't achieve the former, and the latter is extremely elusive especially in the current climate.

I would agree, but what does 'sensible' mean? I think many times the offender didn't think they were doing anything wrong. I think people need to speak directly to what is ok and what is not ok so that there's a shared understanding.
I want to agree with this, but social progressivism isn't associated with neoliberalism in my mind. I thought neoliberals were socially classical liberals (freedom of spsech/markets/association/etc)? I always thought of the predominant startup politics to be a crony capitalism/social progressivism mashup.

Either way, I laughed.

A single command doing two completely different things arbitrarily depending on file matches isn't an "edge case".
Did they say what the charges will be? Maybe it is $1. It could just be a token amount to clear themselves of antitrust.
I do agree reproducible builds are the only solution to have practical evidence a given binary came from given source code. F-droid does this, which is why I personally don't consider any clients that are not willing to undergo that rigor.

"AOSP" support in this context implies f-droid and implies reproducible builds, but maybe I should break that out more clearly.
"By obligating handset makers to load the free apps along with the Android operating system, regulators said Google had boxed out competitors."

This is some sloppy reporting. The 'Android operating system' is licensed under the Apache 2.0 licence[0]. Nothing in that licence obligates handset manufacturers to 'load the free apps'.

I'm guessing they were trying to entice the Japanese market. If I have that right, it must have all been around the time of the Fifth Generation Computer Project, which aimed to create an architecture that would run a massively parallelisable logic programming language natively.

That eventually imploded and took logic programming and, I think, the whole of symbolic AI with it. I think Symbolics, selling a very expensive computer running Lisp natively, failed soon after?

That must have been a brutal time to be involved in AI research.
> By obligating handset makers to load the free apps along with the Android operating system, regulators said Google had boxed out competitors.

It sounds like a very good thing to me to prevent companies like Google from having such terms, which allow them to use dominance on one area to fuel dominance in many others. Each product should stand on it's own, and the idea that the entire ecosystem is one big product is frankly BS.
Risk of increasing efficiency of racism is definitely a concern. On the plus side, an audit trail dataset of "suspicious person" neighborhood reports coupled with some racial-identification of the subjects in the images would be a concrete dataset to demonstrate structural racism to the (still-existant) nonbelievers in the phenomenon.
I do sort of see that, but there's another side to that coin.

This dude, and many people I've met similar to him, takes people on their word and acts accordingly. He might be a bad fit for an environment where this is not respected, but I'd argue this is not a sign of 'not working well in a team'. Rather, it's a sign of him taking people on their word and finding it difficult to work on a team where this is not respected.

I imagine there are plenty of teams, in companies big and small, that do respect these kinds of things. Or at least do so begrudgingly.

My personal experience is that any work environment that does not manage to handle these 'your word is your word' type situations, even if badly, is a horrible place and destined to fail (barring some exceptional situation where they can get away with it).

Outliers like this particular person are a kind of anchor-point. Perhaps it's okay, even necessary, that they don't quite thrive in certain stages of a company. But when they actively flee the ship, it's a horribly sign.

I don't take issue with them making the hardware and selling a product. I have an issue with them being so heavily involved with the police side of things.

There's a big difference between a feature that allows consumers to report a video and a feature that allows police to demand a video.

It won't be "horrible for Europe." Those users have always paid for these apps in one way or another.
FYI, chainlink will solve this problem. They are working on a decentralized oracle solution. You should really read the white paper. Your concern is addressed by having set a collateral demand for nodes participating. So for example the stake is x you want to have an even distribution of x/n nodes to actually insure your off-chain data.

If they deliver, smart contracts will actually take off because they can reliably use external data. Right now, there is no way to do so.
What’s so hard to understand, you ask? The part where you say that most of us run an energy deficit from the food we eat, yet don’t reconcile it with an obesity epidemic in the U. S., just for starters. But I’m not going to further engage such silliness, so have the last word.

GitHub launches Actions, its workflow automation tool
I don't think octopus merges or most merges in the Linux kernel are related to the point the article is making, or the workflow GitHub encourages. I'm not saying you should never merge, I said:

Those are some interesting claims. Where is this information sourced from?
I don't buy the "public health" argument. I can see "public health" for things like vaccines where one person's choices can significantly affect others, but how does someone dying by making a stupid decision impact the public?

If there really is a cost to it (e.g. the government needs to clean up dead people), then make it opt-out with a fee when you get your license. When you get pulled over for an infraction, you can get an additional fine if you aren't wearing a helmet and haven't paid the fee, where to fine is much larger than the fee.

The government shouldn't protect people from themselves (though it can certainly nudge them through opt-out strategies), it just needs to protect people from each other. That's why we have people locked up for marijuana possession and other victimless crimes.

Religion shouldn't be relevant at all to this. If you choose to opt out of something for any reason, you're reasonable for taking measures to get you same result.
Coursera Plots a Massive Future for Online Education

For paranoid users there is also an option of running their own servers and clients (both Prosody and Conversations are open source). XMPP at least provides that option and if you choose it you can still communicate with the rest of the ecosystem.

No such luck for Whatsapp and Signal. And although they may be fair now I think putting all eggs in one company's basket is a bad idea in general (see e.g.: Google).
And if an animal like deer became roadkill, you could give eulogies.
Great work, really useful.

It also helps to have pretrained models that you can use as a starting point for transfer learning. This allows individuals to also do meaningful work.
What jurisdiction is this? Generally two-party consent laws have an explicit exemption for places where you don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy, and exemptions for recording on your own private property. There can also be different standards depending on whether you are taking the pictures for commercial use or not. I'm curious what jurisdiction has a blanket ban on audio recordings without consent, no exceptions.
Since no one else mentioned it, Yahoo Pipes.
A great majority of people would never do this, fearing for personal safety or personal well-being-- and that's okay, that makes sense to me. But the few who risk themselves in this way are more than you think, it's just that we don't hear of them because the true heroes don't consider themselves heroes. Also keep in mind that most people sacrifice themselves daily in order to keep their loved ones happy in small ways, and that's just as inspiring.
Thank you so much for writing this. I've struggled with positioning for a long time, and although I have a niche, it was a challenge to communicate the value I offer in a succinct way. This nails it:

> You don't just deliver code. You deliver complete end-to-end solutions that don't require the customer to specify everything in excruciating detail. Instead, you're like an amazing machine to which customers only have to insert high-level business requirements.

Reading over the website, The Positioning Manual seems to have more actionable information than the sum of all other source I've found, so thank you for that too.
Worth noting that the various "max heart rate formulas" are just guidelines. Plenty of people routinely hit above their predicted rate, and plenty of people cannot get there.

Waiting on Blockchain’s Netscape Moment
Why the Fed's Real-Time Payments Will Fail
Last Wednesday, the day the markets started to slide, there was a US Senate Banking hearing on crypto. If you didn't get a chance to see it I've included a link to the video below. [1]

About precisely 51 minutes in you'll hear Chris Van Hollen begin to discuss what he described as the Fed's desire to implement a "real-time" banking system because it could help people living "paycheck-to-paycheck". But that's wishful thinking no matter how well FinTech seems to work due to Shadow Banking, the dark underbelly of of the banking world which is so gross it the banking sector has tried to use MSM to change the name. Gross.

Anyway, I'm happy to report I just used crypto instead of a Chase wire transfer to move some of my greenbacks from the US and convert them into some pretty Rupiah cash money here in Bali, Indonesia and the results were surprising.

Here's what I did:

I put a limit order buy on GDAX and scooped up some BCH on a dip, sent it through two mobile burner wallets for less than a penny each, then put a limit sell at 1% above market on Indodax, then paid Rp30.000 (about $2) to withdraw the money straight to an Indonesian Bank.

And here's the result:

I saved a $40 Chase wire fee and about a week of waiting for SWIFT (that name though right?) to clear. I also ended up making about $11 dollars in the process from well-timed trades and had my money in a few hours.

So will FinTech help the Fed reach a real-time payment system so poor people can have more liquid access to their money as Dr. Roubini suggests in the video? I kindly doubt it...unless FinTech starts using Bitcoin.

No, I think just code is data is code right?

Also, I'm not sure macros are needed for a language which doesn't do compilation.
Your opinion isn't the only one out there. I recognize the OSI as the authority on the term open source.

On a more practical level: who do you consider be the authority? If the answer is 'nobody' (except yourself) then that makes the term essentially meaningless because there is no standardization, which means that one should stop using that term.
Where Americans Search the Web (Google vs. Bing, Facebook, Amazon, and the Rest)
in my hypothetical, I don't care what they look like, they could all be asian lesbians. There are conservative asian lesbians. There are liberal asian lesbians. Poor. Rich. Urban. Rural. From America. From Europe. ad infinitum. As long there is a good mix of backgrounds and ideologies. I will very much take that environment over a rainbow coalition will make attempts to ruin someone who dares disagree with the hivemind.

Regarding tolerance - you do not see conservatives trying to no-platform liberals, but I could get you 100 examples of college liberals trying to no-platform conservatives. Who exactly are the tolerant ones?

Did you see what happened to Bret Weinstein at Evergreen College? He is an ostensibly liberal guy, and what happened to him should send a shiver down the leg of anyone who is remotely interested in a free exchange of ideas.
While technically true, this doctrine came from a time when cameras were far less common than they are today (by orders of magnitude), and when facial recognition software didn't even exist as a concept (outside of science fiction).

Given those two very significant changes, it's probably worth re-evaluating the doctrine itself.

Hey HN! Founder of Vitally (https://vitally.io) here - the startup that built this.

First off, some example demo links (just hit the Login button to see the demo):

Trial success leveraging market data (e.g. B2B SaaS startups with at least 25 employees): http://bit.ly/2OrF5rJ

MRR breakdown + net churn by product usage (e.g. Customers with at least 5 users and the Slack integration enabled): http://bit.ly/2OsI971

Segment by anything else you send us (e.g. Customers that pay at least $1200/year & have an NPS score < 8): http://bit.ly/2QStfDD

Video demo here: https://vitally.wistia.com/medias/sxdwht4mj0?wtime=1m8s

Why we did this:

Pretty much every SaaS company tracks KPIs like MRR, churn, etc. And pretty much every SaaS company tracks the ways their customers use their product. But those two datasets rarely, if ever, overlap. However, the intersection of that data contains some critical insights, like understanding which features (when used) increase the customer's willingness to pay, which features do churned customers most often fail to use, etc. To truly impact your SaaS KPIs, you need answers to those questions, so this is our stab at providing that insight!

Let us know what you think!
Anecdotal and will get downvoted, but I have WAY more energy when I eat sugar. And yes, I have cut sugar for up to a month at a time before. I never got the magical increases in energy people talk about.
That would mean heart rate around 126 to 153 for me, evidently. Which, actually sounds low. Which I guess is good for me? :)

I was using "zones" per the Strava app lingo. I rarely make zone 5, which would be 174+ heart rate. I spend a fair bit of time in the 160 range, though.
Yeah, it's not aerobic at all, unless you're doing 1 set of 100,000.
Well, that seems to have completely backfired on the EU. I guess there are at least a few companies that will be happy to use Android without Google, but my guess is for the rest this is just more bottom line money out of their pocket going straight to Google. Was this what they were going for?
But what if we changed those laws?

We could, for example, make it such that you can continue to record, but that those recordings couldn't be used as input to facial recognition software without the consent of the person being recorded.

Just because you _currently_ can do something legally does not mean that it _must_ be that way.

One of the reasons git is "hard" is because too many people read crap like this, which rapidly gets outdated and often contains more bad advice than good. Read the manual! It's not dry at all, and you'll learn a lot. Pick a random git command and read its man page right now.

https://git-scm.com/docs

Read the git book, too. It's free and serves as a good introduction and helps you learn which man pages you need to consult and when. You don't need to read the whole thing, but the first 3 chapters are indispensible.

I wasn't aware that the OSI was the only one who could declare something to be "OPEN SOURCE". Is there a certification fee to have my license / code blessed with the designation?

It's not either/or, it's both/and.

Yes, the mugger is morally and legally at fault. Absolutely.

And by walking in that neighborhood at 3 AM you at least increased your probability of being mugged. Morally, people in that neighborhood shouldn't be like that. But they are like that, and you knew it, and you walked there anyway. Morally, it isn't your fault, and yet what you did was definitely unwise. In an ideal world, it shouldn't make any difference where you walk. But this isn't an ideal world, and in the world we've got, with the people we've got, you need to pay some attention to where and when you walk.
Definitely possible, however I don't think most people would accept that level of fix from Apple.

MongoDB recognizes OSI as an authority as well, which is why they submitted their license to OSI for approval. Which led us to this moment, where OSI has not (/yet) granted that approval, and that apparently raised gp's hackles for some reason.
Thank you for explaining this - I learned something today!
