SmartGit does a brilliant job of integrating the reflog and stashes into the rest of Git. The history log window has a Branches panel, which is a tree view with subtrees for your local and remote branches. Below those is another subtree of any stashes you have saved, and then a Recyclable Commits checkbox.

When you turn on Recyclable Commits, every commit in the reflog shows up in the history tree just like any other commit. You can see exactly where they diverge from your other branches and can work with them as you normally work with any commit.

Same thing for stashes: check one and it just shows up as part of the commit tree as if it were a normal commit.

I've used SmartGit for years and highly recommend it over the Git command line for the way it gives you so much more insight into the state of your repo.

How comes that I see older commits with git log -p ? I can even see what the commit changed.
Maybe it's changed but I was heavily involved in the vegan and vegetarian community online about 15-20 years ago and there was absolutely no purity wars. Honestly, it was quite supportive and very much "everyone does their best and everyone has different morals" kinda place. I was still a young adult back then trying to learn to navigate life in general and vegetarianism was an entirely a new concept to me, so it was helpful.

But "har har, vegans are all crazy toxic assholes, amiright?" is a popular trope, no matter the factuality.
>And then what are the other options? It’s not that hard to build/buy cell jammers either.

Analog locks opened with a physical key.
By that definition, veganism is the worst diet. Far more animals ( primarily insects, worms, vermin, etc ) are killed for a vegan diet than an omnivore diet and especially a carnivore diet.

There are literally more animals parts in a bowl of salad than a plate of steak.

If that's really what veganism is about, then vegans should be carnivore. Isn't it better to kill one cow and feed 100 people rather than kill thousands of insects, worms, mice, possum, etc to give 100 people a bowl of salad each?
It is unfortunate that the libui author very much insists on doing everything himself instead of encouraging a more community oriented development approach. The job is too big for any single person.

If that project was managed better it would be huge. Even by basically being unusable it still has so much interest.
I agree with your statement 100%.

I'm not judging the companies. It's more a statement about American consumers who (probably like everyone else in the world) always care more about price than where the good is made (and things correlated to that, like labor laws, toxicity, etc.).

The companies simply followed their guidance. But, I would assert that these companies didn't fight that hard to keep ownership of their manufacturing, and it was a profit decision, and all that has put them in a difficult position.
Or "The Dow is down 312.9 points today due to geo-political tension in the Middle East", etc.

Automated Machine Learning: What Tasks Can Be Improved
The spec goes into detail of why existing tech (iframes) aren't enough:

Sure, but the bees didn't know that.
If you don't want to deal with 2), I'd add:

3) Find a local home automation company and look at their offerings. There's a chance you'll find people willing to sell you actual products that are optionally Internet-connected, but not Internet-first, and are not tied to a garbage SaaS. They'll install and service them for you too. Key words here are "home automation"; I find looking for this phrase instead of "IoT" to weed out a lot of garbage.
> successfully “exited” the market, either by getting acquired by another company or going public in an IPO

> ...twice as likely to have a one-in-1,000 fastest-growing company

Is fastest-growing or an IPO necessarily a good measure of success for a startup? For one, it excludes successful lifestyle businesses.
No, given chrome's market share other browsers are forced to implement it or people will consider those browsers broken.

Google are now where microsoft were when they launched IE6, adding features as they see pleased to support their own products and revenue.

Back then the web population was savvy and not so reliant on microsoft that they could jump to firebird/firefox/opera when things got really bad.

The modern web users don't have that option because google are far more dominant now than microsoft ever was.

Back then people would joke about their grandma being "stuck" on IE6, but that's the level of technical aptutide of the whole web now. Just ordinary people wanting to get on with their own business.

Back in '02 chances are you'd be re-install XP all the time and during one of those installs a technician could install firefox (or later chrome) and you'd be set up. That doesn't happen now, OSes "just work" and people aren't changing their browser.
Java 12 won't have long-term support, so you need some compelling reason to choose it for prod. Java 11 (the next LTS release after 8) has only been out since September, and the module system (which I find pretty pointless for backend) did break some stuff, so I only feel a little bad about not being on it yet.
That the underlying stock price closes below the IPO price.
edited the comment,

$45 was the IPO price, meant it will be the fist time since 2008 that a major IPO closed below its IPO price on the first day of trading.
> A RE agent has to put in significant work for each commission they earn.

I paid a broker $8k to rent an apartment I found online on my own. The landlord paid them another pile of cash, probably comparable to that. I'm not sure that constitutes "putting in significant work"

> "you think it's an urban legend that an insurance company will do what it can to avoid a payout"

First-party claims, absolutely. Insurers want to pay when they are liable, and they don't want to pay when they are not. Your contract defines that, and your contract is written in plain English.

Insurers aren't out to get you, and the insurance industry doesn't rely on shafting people to make money. When you purchase insurance your policy is priced according to the exposure it creates, but a lot of people mistakenly assume that the insurer's profit comes from premium payments. It often doesn't. From what I have read, insurers are generally happy to break even on premiums vs. payouts. Their profit comes from investing the float and earning a return on those investments.

Related, I think that most people don't understand how tightly regulated insurance is, and how much it can suck for an insurer to improperly deny a claim. It creates huge legal and regulatory exposure for the insurer.
Also, how to open and close a seat belt. Do we need that?
With the burn rate uber has, it'll be bankrupt in < 2 years. There are no other suckers to buy in after the public.
The first time a listing closes below it's IPO on the first day I believe.

But then they can also steal the laptop or mini-pc that is recording. It's also a PITA to setup and manage yourself. I'd rather pay the $50/yr that I do and just have someone else do it. I'm done with the bradlys-as-a-service thing. It'd be another thing adding heat to my living environment as well.

It's been useful for other things like checking in on. Where/when packages are delivered, when the landlord showed up, when a neighbor came over to tell us something but we didn't hear them knock on the door, finding out my smoke alarm was going off for no apparent reason, etc.
From the sounds of the lock being referenced here, it was not what we usually refer to as a "Smart" lock. It was a simple code keypad. This whole discussion is based on a misnomer applied by a reporter who is neither a tech expert nor a locksmith.
Nope, your comment is just rationalization disguised as exasperated criticism.

When a given product/technology just fundamentally doesn’t work, or even worse is a security nightmare, you don’t get to write it off as a risk that didn’t cost much. Especially since that last part isn’t true in most cases.
These days, being profitable is considered harmful. More profits = more taxes. Getting virtual “profits” into stock appreciation and structuring revenues to pay nearly zero tax is the name of the game today, and only big corporations can afford it. It is small and medium businesses that pick the bill.
To me, arguing grand juries should work in public just signals a poor understanding of the American legal system - in the purpose of grand juries, the intent behind their design, and what they actually do. Arguing that we need to remove protection against over-zealous prosecutors to make the system safer is pretty nonsensical to me.
Online retailers wasn't far-fetched at all. It wasn't obvious they were going to become the everything store and dominate the market, but it wasn't like people were perplexed by a business plan of selling books online and sending them to consumers.

If people are perplexed by uber today it's because the unit economics look horrible, and it doesn't seem like they will improve without a major technological advance.

Edit: TBF, I was curious so I checked out AMZN's first year of trading: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AMZN/history?period1=8528832...

They dropped 20% on day one. I don't think that reflects investor skepticism re: shopping online, but skepticism re: the myriad risks they faced as one of many money losing online retailers.
TFA asks that "leave your bags behind" be made more prominent in the safety talk you get while taxiing telling you to buckle your seatbelts. Not a bad idea.
Amazon was cashflow positive from the early days and raised less than $100m in its entire existence.
That an IPO stock closes below its IPO price on opening day
Modern multi-stage Furnaces/ACs/heat pumps need intelligent thermostats to control them in the first place. When there is more control needed than simply on/off, if used with dumb thermostat (or, ironically, Nest) modern equipment is not going to work in the most efficient mode.

This is why modern home HVAC systems usually come with their own thermostats, and if you are looking to install new HVAC system, basically the only thing you need to consider is how well thermostat works - everything else is more or less the same.

Anyway, my Bryant thermostat works quite fine, and I consider it to be easier to use than Nest, which I had before.

Check out “veganic farming” or “stock free farming”. That addresses the point you’re referring to, though it’s not practical in many places yet.
You can claim a lot of business expenses as deductions that you wouldnt be able to as an employee

The IRS now has a 20% deduction for passthrough entities up to 450K or so

You can put approximately 40K or 25% of income (whichever is less) into a solo 401K. Much more than a typical company 401K

There are ways to pay no FICA, by distributing through a limited partnership. You can save 15K up to the cap on those taxes, but then you will hurt your social security which requires 40 quarters of W2 wages to max out.

Healthcare will potentially cost more, but once you have around 6 employees you can join a PEO and get grouped in with other small business and get a typical cost for a business.

There are products (such as insurance ) that can shield a much larger portion of your income. For example, you buy income insurance that pays out any year you take a loss. You "pay" for it with your profit for that year. That counts as a business expense so you pay no tax on it. They keep track of your account balance+growth and you can borrow from your own account with no tax consequences. You can essentially withdraw the money at favorable tax rates if you ever take a loss.
So is gig economy. Jobs will continue to decline.
This touches on something I've been thinking about a bit recently. It seems like software is undergoing a crisis of delivery, though I doubt that's new it still feels like there has not been much progress in delivering software that matters where it's needed.

I'm thinking specifically about the Crossrail project here in the UK where signalling has completely screwed the project https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/201...

Of course such systems tend not to be taking advantage of the newest tech but it feels like there's a lot of talk about how to achieve Netflix scale for simple websites with a few 100,000s of users and not much progress on delivering tangible, socially useful, software. Maybe it's selection bias and Rust is perhaps promising in this space but a lot of hyped technologies feel ephemeral or not useful outside of Web.
> Others argue that all animal lives carry equal weight with human lives (I don't know who these people are, but they worry me).

I'd consider myself one of these. All living things are equally fair game to be eaten. Obviously some carry social and legal consequences that make it not worthwhile, but ethically, we're all organic matter. Life consumes other life to keep itself going. That's how it works. I don't know why I should be concerned about a cow but not a stalk of celery. They're equally alive.
> But you could design one with a manual fallback option. Doesn't seem foundational to me. Nothing about an IoT design prevents one from doing that.

Certainly I could (or at least someone with the engineering skills could), but the actual IoT companies don't. My impression of IoT devices (do not want) is based on what actually exists, not on what could theoretically exist.
The last 2 times I checked my luggage, at least one piece didn't arrive.

In one of those cases, it was our camping gear that we needed a few days later (luckily we got it the morning we left the hotel for that campground, which was a 4 hour drive from the hotel). The other case, it was literally all my cloths for a 5 day stay. It arrived 2 days later. (The airline paid for essentials.)

I know that the official statistics of lost luggage are very low. I'm sure that these number don't come close to reality, probably due to some technicality (e.g. 'lost' only counts when it never showed up, instead of showing up after a few days.)

When you plan vacations that go from one place to the other, with hotels, cars, and activities booked everywhere, the last thing you want to happen is throw it all into disarray because your luggage didn't arrive. (And, yes, we usually plan for a day or 2 close to the airport in case flights get cancelled etc.)
haven't heard that joke before...
Actually, at least a bit of it does exist. There are two different "OpenBMC"s. The IBM/Rackspace one is used for POWER9, as in the Summit and Sierra supercomputers.

Another effort in the free space -- a different part from Talos -- is EOMA68 https://www.crowdsupply.com/eoma68 with a parallel effort for RISC-V.

Yes, in fact - even then. There are fascinating historical stories about lay-people who scoffed and then failed to account for the dark art of statistics.

"To cover a short position" implies that you have a short position you are buying to cover. You likely mean "to put on a short position"
Again, unless that company has a great track record, you'll probably get screwed rather quickly. Google is not such company, for example. Also, any startup is out of the question too; half-life of VC-backed SaaSes is on the order of a year or two.

IMO buying any hardware tied to a SaaS is a dumb idea.

I think you can make a case that there are vegans, and there are Vegans. Much like you can be libertarian without being a Libertarian, or enjoy the search for truth without ever worrying if what you have learned is The Truth.

I strive to be vegan, though sometimes I am unsuccessful. I also strive not to lie, though sometimes my friend wants to know if this whatever looks good on him or her.

I strive to be a person who eats only plant and plant-derived food, for several personal reasons (including some ethical!), though I don't really care about whether a bee was transported from one field to another to pollinate something. If that makes me not a Vegan, then I don't care. But I still try to eat plant-based foods.

But I also don't call myself a vegan or even an aspiring-vegan. I am almost certainly a vegetarian since I don't eat any meat, though I don't call myself a vegetarian.

Personally, I am satisfied letting the person who wants to or is trying to be vegan decide for themselves whether they are comfortable eating avocados or whatever.

People would be happier in life if they weren't so concerned about absolutes, I think. Just try to be who you want to be. If you want to try to be the best capital-V Vegan as defined by someone else's standards (and adopt them as your own or w/e) that you can be, then maybe don't eat avocados.
When you say my argument is ahistorical, do you mean that in the past, people have generally been able to sue for not having a house?

Calling housing a right is extreme and inaccurate.
TechCrunch did a good job looking back at Amazon's IPO and it's a good read to clarify what Amazon was when it went public (a bookseller, not general retail), how insane its growth was (revenue up about 3,000% YoY from 1996 to 1997, more revenue in the quarter before its IPO than the entire previous year), and how fast the IPO came together (12 days to S-1). Even for all that growth, revenue was still around $15M. It was a minnow but it played all of its cards about as right as it could for an IPO.

Good point - yes, in general I’m tripling the number when I take my last pre-tax salary and divide it by ~2000 hours (40 hour work week across an entire year)
I'd be careful drawing conclusions about tech entrepreneurship from this study. If you look at the actual paper (I somehow couldnt find a link to the paper in the summary article... its here [0]), the authors used growth in jobs as their metric for success. Employment growth is a very imperfect surrogate for startup success. The paper says they also looked at sales growth and IPO / M&A exits, but they dont show this data. Not sure how theyd get sales growth data for all these companies in the first place. I wonder why they didnt publish the analysis of age and sales growth, IPO and M&A exits? Maybe i missed it?

Using employment growth as the success metric is biased towards high growth labor-intensive companies (like specialty manufacturing firms), and against high growth labor efficient companies (like tech and biotech).

The summary article linked here is pretty intellectually dishonest imo, the tagline being "a definitive new study dispels the myth of the silicon valley wunderkind". If they published data on age and sales growth, exit, or returns, maybe they could say this is "definitive". I dont see how a study measuring startup success based on job growth can be definitive. There are other studies showing young founders do better, though they have their limitations as well. The truth is probably that you can succeed as a founder at any age

I started looking at this study bc I was trying to find data on age bias in biotech, which is the opposite of in tech. In biotech startups, the conventional wisdom is that only experienced founders can succeed. But the data does not support that. More $10B+ biotech companies have been started by under 40 CEOs than over 40 CEOs, but most CEOs who get funded today are over 40 (or even 50). This doesnt mean young foudners are better in biotech, just that a bias towards "experience" is not supported by data [1]

Cool. How long until they shut it down with one-month notice? If it was Apple I'd feel reasonably confident that it would be around for at least a couple of years, but even in the ID/payment space alone Google has kept rotating through different "wallet" solutions multiple times.
