If the Git developers have made an explicit decision that it's impossible to simplify the interfaces without losing some important functionality, hey, it's their software, that's their prerogative. But if that's the case, then people who have trouble understanding the interface shouldn't be called dumb, or chided for "not understanding the model," because it means the model is going to be too complicated for some people to understand.

Either Git is intended to be a tool anybody can pick up and use, in which case it's shameful how thoroughly ignored widespread complaints about the UI have been; or Git is intended to be a tool for a select priesthood of Enlightened Masters, in which case it shouldn't be promoted to the unwashed masses. You can't really have it both ways.

> Git is a professional tool for software engineers

Lots of tools for professionals of all kinds take the time to protect their users from inadvertently harming themselves through misuse. Cars for commercial drivers aren't sold with a set of wheel chocks in place of brakes, and if you argued that they should be because they're meant for professional drivers who ought to know better than to walk away from their vehicle without setting the chocks first, you'd earn yourself a lot of funny looks.
Anyone have the non-paywalled version?
Well, that's big fat middle finger towards EC. Because the permission to use forked Android is limited to EEA, no manufacturer is going to use that and lock themselves out of the rest of the world. But the real punch comes here:

> we will introduce a new paid licensing agreement for smartphones and tablets shipped into the EEA

While it is bit vague, it certainly sounds like Google will be levying "EC stupidity tax" for all EEA devices.

So congratulations EC, you accomplished exactly nothing but making devices more expensive in your market and padding Googles pockets even more.

too scared to go to link
Because Google is not a non-profit. They'd like to monetize their OS and services.
Technically you're correct (the best kind of correct!) but I don't know if I'd be under the opinion that somehow doing a 5x5 (or, whatever) of Deadlifts is going to positively effect your cardiovascular system in a training sense, to the point where doing separate cardio is unnecessary.

Depending on the exertion you put forth, a different energy system is going to be utilized by the body.

* Deadlifts: ATP Creatine Phosphate

* Cardio: Aerobic
I was going to proactively address this but hoped it wouldn't have been necessary. In this case the parallels are so stark that it practically screams out its own blatancy.

Google's planned submission to China's regime is just the beginning of where things have been are are going towards with Xi's China.

Since the Prince's extralegal extortion of the uber rich class in Saudi Arabia its been obvious that he's been concentrating power in his hands like Xi.

Turkey, Russia, Syria, Hungary, China, Venezuela- oppressive strong-men governments are rising like floods in narrow canyons after a storm. It is time that we identify the systemic rise of these Putin clones and decide on a coordinated and consistent response.

> The OSI exists to be a non-political entity so that people who want to work on open source have resources to do so without necessarily participating in the politics of the FSF.

In what way is the FSF any more political than the OSI, beyond trying to protect the defined freedoms of free software?

By inserting itself as the only legitimate body to define what "open-source" is, it is by definition engaging in politics, no less than the FSF.

> The OSI is a respected organization that defends basic and non-controversial rights in open source

It is rather assuming that the OSI is "respected" or that it defends "non-controversial rights in open source".

The right to take my code, profit from it and not share back is essentially what the OSI stands for and is thus not respected by me.
Genetics plays outsized role in autism, large study shows
Yes, they have a big user base but the biggest concern for me as an investor would be can they increase prices without losing users. I believe Uber customers are very price sensitive and on top of that the self driving division was shut down so their costs won't go lower any time soon. So how will this business generate billions of dollars in profit?
Libertarian is strictly and accurately characterized as right wing, whether you like the aesthetics and baggage of that or not.

Which right wing groups are not advocating for things that actively harm working people and minorities? Which leftist groups are out to harm entire pluralities of people out of indifference (at best) or cruelty (at worst)?

I'm asking in good faith because I honestly don't know what groups are being referred to when people say "neither side is innocent". I don't see the dichotomy that is being constructed with this argument.
> The British empire was a parliamentary democracy, and it has done a lot of truly abhorrent stuff over the 18th and 19th centures.

A detail: They had a monarch with real power in the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as a parliament.
this made me smile so much, thank you.
What would a "hostile conservative" say? Or are you implying there is no hostility from conservatives voices in this debate?
I don't see how making us have more diverse set of leaders will make things better. There are plenty of people under 40 I don't want making decisions and there are plenty of people over 40 I do want making decisions.

Diversity isn't going to make good leaders, it's going to give us diverse leaders.
You cant run a GRPC server though still right? Thats all I really want to be able to do especially now that the app engine endpoints libraries are no longer supported on python

It is strictly not internalization, in fact, and as far as I know from friends working on retail at the new owner of Timber Hill IB and Timber Hill didn't ever cooperate on optimal routing strategies since Thomas Pterfry didn't want people loosing faith in IB routing. There are plenty of reasons why Timber Hill might win the trade:

* They might be first in the queue on a price-time exchange, and so naturally get the order

* They might be on a price-size exchange, and so get some of the fill simply by being present.

* They probably participate in the auction process, and will naturally get some portion of orders that IB initiates

For what it's worth, Timber Hill USA was bought by Two Sigma ~1 year ago. It wasn't actually unprofitable as shown by public filings, but wasn't making much and Thomas Pterfry didn't want an illusion of conflict of interest.
Several of the alternatives have gotten pretty good in the meantime. I wish it wasn't dead, but I don't miss it.
This looks like a complete replacement for Bitbucket Pipelines (and a straight up better one), which makes me happy.

Your inane rant disguised as a question doesn't add anything to the discussion.
Git histories are only immutable if you don't rewrite them with --force. That's why it's called --force. It means you messed up and need to rewrite history. Nice to have the option but probably not great to make it a habit to mess up your history.

It's a feature that gets turned off server side in bigger projects and on OSS projects you don't get to push your changes at all and instead you need to work to get people to pull your changes. I'd argue that's a great way to isolate yourself from people misbehaving on their own branches since it is entirely their problem to get their branch in a a shape where it is straight forward to pull (as in fast forward merge). Rebasing can be a valid tool to get there. Force push is not thing generally in such projects except maybe on your own private fork.
I've argued for a long time, that Nest, Ring, etc., will all become free or highly discounted services soon as long as you're willing to allow them to share the video data.

Based on your camera's location they would have tons of valuable data about the people who live in that area.

Do they go on walks? If so, with who & what.

Do they go to nearby stores?

I can see coming home & getting ads for "winter clothes" & "dog food" after walking my dog in shorts on a cold day.

I'm curious if people who live in more optimal areas would get any additional benefits. Kind of like social media influencers.

"Live in a popular metro area? Receive $100/month for installing a camera in your apartment."
By inbound GRPC you mean when running an app engine instance as a client right? So running a GRPC server is completely out of question still I would presume?

Thinking of things from a long term perspective
Differential synchronisation works very well indeed for plain text, but as Neil himself has pointed out, it doesn't necessarily work well for tree-structured data (like XML or JSON) because there's no guarantee that the combination of separate syntactic-validity-preserving edits will necessarily be syntactically valid.
It seems like you have taken steps to try to increase your income and now you feel like you are still missing out.

I think it’s normal to have those feelings when we compare ourselves to one another. No healthy, but normal.

Maybe this is where you really look at your life and what you want to prioritize and focus on. What legacy you want to leave behind.

Focus on yourself.
But what happens if it's a fix that was made to master. Then later, the boss decides that they need that change as a bugfix to the current release? How do you accomplish that without cherry-picking? Do you rebase the feature branch it was a part of and merge it?
You both may enjoy http://archagon.net/blog/2018/03/24/data-laced-with-history/ if you haven't seen it already, it's an absolute gem, and touches on exactly this.
I tend to use "bored states" to do all my planning tasks. In "deep work" or even deep work-adjacent states I am usually too focused on a problem to go back and find things that should be getting done, or to consider the more systemic roadblocks, or to wonder what is going on with other teams or new technologies. I am glad for the moments where I am not in a meeting or doing deep work, in a way, because they give space to ponder what should come next.

That said, the study is pretty flawed, because it asked individuals to self-select at two points (whether they found the task boring, and whether they daydreamed during it). I can find plenty of boring tasks I would daydream while doing over the course of an 8h workday, but finding a time-limited 15min task with zero difficulty so boring that you are daydreaming during it seems to me indicative of some kind of attention issue. I worry that it may be selecting for a personality type that is already more creative, because participants in the control conditions were not asked how often they daydreamed, and participants in the boredom condition were not tested on creativity before the boredom test.

This is where you have to consider the whole safety design.

In the video, the pole does intrude into the cabin more on non-Tesla vehicles; however, that means that more (de)-acceleration is passed on to the occupants of the Tesla. That is the purpose of crush zones, and also why no-context footage of crash tests can be very misleading.

Additionally, there are side curtain airbags that will deploy before the pole actually gets to where the occupants' head would be.
Rebase has several cases that will drop you into a detached HEAD. Rebase has gotten better at warning you when it is happening, and much better at telling you what your next steps are in that situation (such as git rebase abort), at least, but it still does it.

Several times that I've helped junior developer out of a detached HEAD state, when I asked what they thought they were doing before it happened, the answer was "I was just doing my normal rebase before..."
Ring is marketed as a security camera, and one of it's primary use cases is providing video recording in the event of a crime.
When you get into antitrust scales of size nothing is voluntary, that's the whole crux of this issue. If you wanted your handset to sell you had to play nice with Google and do what Google told you.

Interesting comparison Irvick. Enjoying the resuling conversation too. More detail on meanings and methodology would be helpful as some other HN folks suggest.

Since air (at least in the USA) is overall much cleaner than it was a generation or two ago, I wonder how this squares with the seemingly increasing trend of dementia cases. Maybe just people living longer overall, and dementia being (usually) a disease of old age, we see more of it?
The rules are different, like in this situation, for companies that are near to or in a monopoly situation. Last I checked Android had over 85% smartphone market share.
Softbank just took a huge stake in Uber at beginning of 2018

The valuation numbers have yoyo'd up to 120billion despite

'....The deal includes a large purchase of shares from existing Uber investors and employees at a discounted valuation for the company of $48 billion, a 30 percent drop from Uber’s most recent valuation of $68 billion. These secondary stock sales will be completed by the end of the day Thursday on the Nasdaq Private Market, an Uber spokesman said'.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-uber-softbank-tender/soft...

We've gone from a damaged company worth 48b in January to a 120b valuation in a few months. Presumably the Saudi and Japanese softbank investors are hoping to extract an ipo profit.
Wait, how does this work? Who pays for all that compute time in the cloud? What's the catch?
Honest question. If I write some code and release it on Github with an MIT license, do I need permission from OSI to call my project "Open Source"? Is there a legal requirement? I am confused.
They did remove it. I don't know if unbundling Chrome was forced by the EU but it's consistent with EU principles.

I can make exactly the same point in reverse: "It's the manufacturer's phone. If Google doesn't want to offer its OS on terms that comply with EU competition law, it's free to go the Apple route and simply build all of its own phones. Nobody is forcing Google to do anything."

Google and its smartphone partners are both in the business because of each other. If Google had kept Android closed and limited to its own phones, it would not have become the #1 mobile OS -- we'd be using Palm or Microsoft or Nokia or someone else's product.
I mean running a GRPC server, yeah. It's a limitation of our networking stack which we're working on fixing.

So this is just anecdotal, but here's my 'running and car broken into story':
I parked next to a busy dog park and went for my run. Came back to broken window. There was a lady there who took pictures of the perpetrators and their license plate. I filed a report with the police. Guess what the police did. That's right! Absolutely nothing. Not even swing by the people's house and ask for my shit back (I was cool with paying for the broken window, even).

The idea that this kind of surveillance will be used for your benefit is simply wrong, in my opinion. It's a weapon. How does that NWA song go? The one about the police?
It’s the perfect response because it’s technically correct.

We’re not going anywhere the Earth hasn’t already been. It’s just a question of whether we’ll like the Cretaceous.
Lyft also announced IPO plans on a similar timeline shortly after and Postmates just did too.
> For something like Amazon Aurora its a different story. Aurora is API compatible with MySQL and Postgres but it is designed internally to work quite differently, really designed for the cloud first. And the result is its up to 5x faster than the standard open source software and just better than the open source version in many ways.

It's also noticably slower than plain PG in other cases.
> the fact that Google gave the world k8s does not help you.

so google should give everything away AND also need to pay to every open source project, besides that smaller player don't?

sorry the world does not work like that.
open source means giving and taking, not only taking.
google might not be an angel, however restricting them to pay - OPEN SOURCE, non restrictive work - is just silly.
if jira and confluence allowed this my company would benefit from probably a double digit efficiency boost.

we have to split our "collaborating" to google docs, and our "carving in stone" in JIRA and Confluence.

The biggest leaking abstraction of git IMO, are commits: they equate a set of changes with the state of the repo after said changes. So if there are multiple commits, reverting a commit is ambiguous. Does it revert the state of the repository to the state before the commit, or does it revert the changes in the commit?

There are a couple more flaws. The commandline is not very consistent, and the complete model is way too complicated IMHO. I can work with it now, but it took me a long time to grasp all of the concepts that I need - without feeling the need for distibuted version control. About that: It's kind of ironic that git is hailed for being distributed, but everyone just uses github, a centralized system.
No, the shiny and efficient tool for daily git work is called magit, it runs on the Emacs platform (which also features a rather nice text editor).

The code for windows has been leaked and people could get the source. Sometimes companies have agreements for viewing the source of software they produce. These are two examples where the source code is visible, but this alone does not make them open source. There must be other attributes beyond just being able to see the source code.

The difference of course being that WhatsApp is closed source, and they can push any kind of change without anyone noticing.

If the client is open source, you can verify exactly what it does. Compile the app yourself or download it from F-Droid and you can be sure that the binary you get matches those sources.

Sure you can argue this all the way down to "Trusting Trust", but that doesn't really make sense when comparing two apps/ecosystems that operate in the same real world's constraints.

There are some similarities, but there are VAST differences between China and Saudi. In China, women's rights and conditions are far better than Saudi. There are no restrictions on women driving or taking the subway or wearing whatever they want or working wherever they want. China is miles ahead of Saudi in equality. I am not sure about LGBT rights in China, but I will go out on a limb and say that they are probably better than Saudi. And then the spread of Wahhabism. China is not funding thousands of Madrasas in foreign lands to spread extremist views. China is also investing massively in renewable energy. China has its issues, but let's not conflate them with Saudis.
You're not using a useful definition.

If I give you some source code, with the license that you cannot run the software, modify the code or copy or use the code in any way, it follows your definition and is still useless.
Mixed bag. From players I get better collections outside of the cons but I have to pay more for them. If someone brings their collection with them to a show they almost definitely don't want to go home with it and want to use the money to buy something else. This puts the pricing much more in my favor.

There are a lot of casual collectors though and dealers of other products who have casually sat on some very valuable product for years. After years of doing the same show as us, they know we're going to be there, know that we'll buy and they're happy to get _any_ amount of money for it. That deal we got for those starter decks was from another dealer who approached us with "if you don't buy these, i'm throwing them in the trash". He didn't have the time or the interest to value and sell them himself and was just happy to make more than he paid on them and lighten his load packing up.

tldr: being in a niche market at these shows occasionally is a huge (but inconsistent) boon to us.
