Check out Unison.

> Unison is a file-synchronization tool for OSX, Unix, and Windows. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other.

> Unison shares a number of features with tools such as configuration management packages (CVS, PRCS, Subversion, BitKeeper, etc.), distributed filesystems (Coda, etc.), uni-directional mirroring utilities (rsync, etc.), and other synchronizers (Intellisync, Reconcile, etc). However, there are several points where it differs: ...

I don't think anyone believes it is a big problem, but it's a minor annoyance with an easy resolution that will improve the general robustness of the product when it's fixed. Which is a great thing for a cheap all-purpose device like the raspi.

The real advantage of CLI is that it is a language, not just a UI. It is composable, programable, remote-able and easier to automate.

Ah right, I wasn't thinking about that type of trust but I agree it is the correct property in this situation.
Just put your finger on the icon and slide it one way or the other. You don't have to wait or tap more than once.

Edit for clarity: when you do this, your finger is not actually "on" the slider handle itself. The slider shows up in its usual place, which is offset from where your finger is. But the sliding still adjusts it.

It's a shame that this is not intuitive or discoverable. Its much more efficient but I had to have someone tell me about it.
As a developer, the thing that excites me the most about the Touch Bar is the fact that there's a dedicated Xcode "pause" button on it when you're debugging an app in Xcode. If I were developing a macOS app that would finally be a great way of pausing in the middle of a mouse gesture or keyboard chord. But since I'm doing iOS development these days I don't actually end up using it, oh well.
Cavities are also found in other mammals; they're not even just a human problem. Something like 5% of dogs get cavities. If you have an older dog and get their teeth cleaned, some might need to be pulled.

I even saw something about cavities in dolphins... and, if I remember right, the thing about humans not getting cavities before the advent of the modern diet stems from a dentist who had some unorthodox theories about dental care that were unsupported by systematic research.

Oh, it's the Weston Price foundation people who make that claim...

He appears to be a distant relative, yes, but by my count, five generations removed from any direct connection to the banking business.

Starting with his entry [1] on thepeerage.com, a UK genealogical site for the upper classes, you can backtrack to find that his great-great grandfather was a Charles James Hoare [2], who appears, if this Wikipedia entry is the same person [3], to have been a a Church of England clergyman and himself the son of a partner in the Hoare private bank. So, C.A.R. Hoare's great-great-great grandfather was part of the bank. The four generations in between seem to have been various kinds of upper-middle class government or quasi-government employees though: clergyman, clergyman, military officer, and colonial civil servant.

Incidentally, I got the pointer to thepeerage.com from his biography in the book Reflections on the Work of C.A.R. Hoare, which calls his family background "somewhat upper-class" and references the site in a footnote.

Fair enough, that statement may indeed be overreaching a bit ;-)

The touchscreen is even worse on laptops. Windows is a horrible touch screen OS, the interface itself is a mismatch of operating systems seemingly going back to Windows 95.

MacOS wouldn’t fare any better as a touch screen OS.
It could have worked so much better as a display above the function keys. An extra long-and-thin screen that showed stuff and happened to be touch enabled.

App specific stuff, window-manager customisable stuff, all kinds of things. This would have given app developers an opportunity to do stuff with it that you can't do on a PC.

Developers could have liked it instead of feeling mightily pissed off and betrayed by the company they had given so much money to over the years.
I don't mind the touch bar, I don't get why they couldn't of kept the old keyboard which was more reliable and the Function Keys.

I'm writing this on a MBP purchased earlier this year that has nothing but room for both with it's oversized trackpad that is nothing but a waste of space to me. I get more out of a trackball personally, but even if I am exclusively using the trackpad, I don't need all this wasted space, it is even bigger than my phone.

I like physical keys, I can get used to them and never have to look down to use them. You cannot deliver the same experience with a touch-anything (at least not in 2019).
OP's point is about branding.
Is Tesla testing LiDARs, after all?
When Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, one of the first things he did was slash the product line. There were too many options and choices that didn't really make a significant difference in the overall experience.

Apple is slowly getting back to the point where their product line is being oversaturated with choices again.
Hm. Sorry to hear that. I'm looking into the pregenerated dump you posted on github earlier and I'm seeing a lot of cards that are basically copies of existing cards.

These are from mtg-gpt-2-cloud-run/generated_card_dumps/temp_0_7/cards_0.txt and just the top few rows (also, only the ones I immediately recognised):

Shrieking Specter {6}{B} (common)
Creature ~ Specter (4/4)
Flying
Whenever Shrieking Specter attacks, defending player discards a card.

Luminous Bonds {2}{W} (common)
Enchantment ~ Aura
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature can't attack or block.

Mwonvuli Acid-Moss {3}{G} (uncommon)
Sorcery
Destroy target land. Search your library for
a forest card and put that card onto the battlefield
tapped. Then shuffle your library.

Druid'S Deliverance {1}{G} (common)
Instant
Prevent all combat damage that would be dealt this turn. Populate.

And so on.

Don't ask me why I immediately recognised Shrieking Specter.

It would take a bit of work to figure out which of the generated cards are mashups of existing cards, or the characteristics of existing cards with new names, and which ones are original. Do you have a way to figure this out?

Hey, this is an interesting project regardless. At least with M:tG cards it's very easy to see when GPT-2's output is identical to its input. Imagine trying to figure that out with arbitrary text...

Edit: Oh, the README. Reading it now.
I mean, they basically invented the entire cloud platform model; so it stands to reason they’re way out in front. Microsoft is making headway, but a high-touch support model is so far outside Google’s DNA I don’t think they’re ever going to get it right.
Consumers drive the business decisions.

There are no correct projections, only different use cases. Waterman's butterfly is very low distortion, conversely on a Mercator, paths of constant bearing come out as straight lines, as it was developed for shipping.
You don't need to tap twice. Put your finger down on the button and just drag; yeah your finger isn't actually touching the visible slider that opened up, but it work anyway, and the slider will collapse itself again automatically a second after you let go.
You don't need all this to just do versioning.

Crikey. This comment is interesting as an example a comment that is "manipulated". Thank you for the great example!

It's different from a troll comment as a troll comment will seek to appeal to identities and groups but this one is too harsh in its directness. A troll will sometimes be vague in their intentions. Perhaps this means it's an indication of truthful indoctrination or an indication of unsophisticated organised political marketing.

Always nice to see on NH.
Yes, with the caveat that it must be a large enough tax to make it cheaper to use cleaner energy sources. Otherwise it will go the way of regulatory fines: they become the cost of doing business and amount to a fixed line item on a budget rather than a factor that scales.
The economics depend on how many people are going.

If I go to NYC myself, it is economical to take the bus.

It costs the same to take 2, 3 or 4 people in my car, whereas the cost of the (bus|train|plane) scales linearly.

Motortourism works best when you travel in a moderate-sized group.
No, it just means there is no ranked/ordinal voting system that satisfies Arrows criteria. It says nothing about score/cardinal voting.

Arrow: "I’m a little inclined to think that score systems where you categorize in maybe three or four classes probably (in spite of what I said about manipulation) is probably the best."
For a lot of people these days, the coffee they consume appears 'beanless' already. Be it from a K-cup, instant, or just picking an already made brew at favorite coffee shop.

Sure, there're still beans in the beginning, but what ends up in the cup is some concoction blended from all stages of preparations. Yet that concoction turns out to also gain some 'magic' residue in the process...or even added directly, like vanilla, chicory, etc.

Nice work synthesizing the flavor and 'grounds', but this seems to me to be in the similar niche as energy drinks, especially with the fact that caffeine is added as a separate ingredient of this product.
A strong incentive to lift off with as little fuel as possible...
No, not in this revision. I was speaking more generally.
It does make sense but the implementation doesn't at all. There are plenty of people in underprivileged markets in the US who can't afford a $60 game. Plenty of people in Lagos who can comfortably afford that $60 game as well.

If I'm homeless in SF or NYC--despite being some of the wealthiest cities on this continent--maybe I should get that $2 regional pricing too rather than piracy (what me and plenty of others resorted to while living broke in uni).

If you want to sell your game to a wider market, don't go out of your way to make it harder for the wider market to access your product, just lower your price.
That's clearly true. Otherwise, why would the fossil fuel and related industries be spending so much money fighting any attempts to put a price on carbon or otherwise regulate it?
OK, I'll go disagree on the linked comment then. :)
I preordered, and it hasn't shipped yet. I wish there were an option to wait and get a fixed one later instead.

As with most literary criticism, I'm pretty skeptical of this. Thinking in the opposite direction, Snow Crash would be easier to translate than Neuromancer. Neuromancer would be easier to translate than Finnegan's Wake. That doesn't mean that Snow Crash is part of some homogeneous morass or any less worthy than those other two novels. Though I suppose many literary critics would prize the Joyce over the Stephenson, there are no absolutes in art. There is just what people like.
fyi, combining something like `--out-format="file: %f %l"` with `--progress` results in reasonably parse-able progress updates.

Keep in mind however that the format of --progress has changed in the past. Depending on your version of rsync it may or may not insert thousand seperating commas into the number of bytes written, e.g. 2,384,908 vs 2384908. The former can be supressed with --no-h, an option not available on at least some older versions of rsync that default to no commas.
I honestly don’t understand how an infinitely and easy customisable high-resolution million-colour second display, supporting multi-touch gestures, could be called useless by the majority of commenters on the site called Hacker News.
> What you'd need is, proportional voting for the House. Electoral districts the size of at least 10 House representatives.

Problem: Most states don't have 10 House representatives. And in general it allows candidates to bifurcate voters in the same way that gerrymandering does. If you have a group of aligned people who should by population have their own representative, splitting them between two or three districts means they get no representation at all.

The better solution is range voting:

https://rangevoting.org/

Then you can use the existing districts without changing anything else, but it immediately makes third parties viable. And it boots out anyone who doesn't represent their entire district when there is anyone running against them who does, which puts a damper on all this line drawing nonsense as well.
If these apps get banned because they use poor dependencies, maybe better dependencies will become popular, and developers will also have a reason to be more aware of what code they are using.
my understanding (have not tested this) is that CORS "" does not work in all browsers between `localhost` and other domains. This is also AFAIK an intentional security feature. Even so CORS "" would be even more explictly bad behaviour. The whole point of CORS is to prevent XSS from random sites linking to your end points.
Only if the test has high specificity. If this RF noise happens frequently when there is no earthquake, it is of little value.

Developer go where their users are. If that weren’t the case, no one would develop for consoles.
I think as long as there was transparency is how it's implemented, an easy way to turn it off, and clear documentation as to what you're collecting and how you collect it (and where it goes), I wouldn't be opposed to it. Open source projects need to continue innovating and I'm happy to do my part in that process (especially if I find your library useful). I just want to make sure I'm not getting taken for granted and you're not doing anything nefarious.
Dude, I'm getting a Dell. And running MacOs in a VM for occasional ios dev.
Another point I find relevant is all your examples involved a non-trivial (possibly overwhelming for this crowd) use of violence (which I think you somewhat understated as civil disobedience).

So... do we have the stamina to ramp up our "protest" into something mildly violent?
I understand why some people like the slider, but as someone who can type without looking, I'm used to being able to navigate with my fingers up to the brightness and volume controls without having to pay close attention. Now I have to look down in order to hit the right area of the touchbar.

But that's the core of the problem -- the code has to be architecture specific because the constant nature of integer multiplication depends on the processor architecture. Once you're writing a multiple for an XX-generation Intel processor, you might as well write it as assembly, rather than have a MUL_XX macro that will probably do the right thing.
no it's not something is definitely different somewhere, maybe a different config/default or reset, everything is snappier and my cpu is reaching 95+ degC while it never reached 80 before 70.

Or maybe it's a different rendering library / os / gpu driver interaction.

Which ultimately ended up damaging Mexican wages, too, because we showered Mexico with heavily subsidized corn (and other agricultural products) forcing rural Mexicans into the cities and the maquiladoras.
That's still a fine outcome. If it gets passed on to the consumer then people will take less flights, and hence, less jet fuel will be burned.

I love the simplicity of these puzzles.

Hint: look at the source code to solve many of these.
Genuinely curious about the intuitive part: I found it intuitive because it’s a similar gesture in iOS (control centre). In addition, many other gestures on force touch trackpad such as peek-and-pop, are similar to iOS. I can carry my habit from iPhone to Mac without giving it much thought. In fact, to me it feels natural and expected behaviour after being used to the gestures in general. I don’t have a touchbar (still using 2015 rPro), and I agree about discoverability part — no way I’d have tried to swipe on a button.

So my question: once you discovered that you could do a swipe gesture, did you find yourself using it often?
> Who wants to really use all this bullshit just to do versioning?

Nobody. It is a strawman or should be.

You can teach everything a beginner need to know about git as an ordinary team member in less than one A4 page and less than half a days work.

Of course this means part of what you teach then is when to talk to the git expert on the team but as long as beginners stay away from squash, rebase etc they should be fine.

Ok, add another half day about effective diffing and merging too, it is a big topic and useful outside the context of git too (local history etc).
I heard this. As a marketing guy myself, I don't know what magic Steve Jobs did, but it worked on most people. I've always said that Apple is not a tech company. They are a dam good marketing company that can sell you a lifestyle for the price of your soul.
I just recall the takeover of the Lubuntu project by this kid, kicking out all others and his attempt to threaten others in the project at Christmas time as a ubuntu tm licensee for his website impostering as a Ubuntu trade mark owner. His forged evidence provided worked with Github staff to get others blocked. I don't trust Ubuntu accounts anymore and I don't trust Canonical because they let it happen.

Very niche, but good: Eli Fieldsteel’s YouTube channel for learning Supercollider, the programming language attached to a powerful audio synthesis engine. He also goes into building custom interfaces for experimental music with arduino.
The best thing you can do here is that if you use "8080" in a bunch of places in your code, replace all the ones that mean the same thing with a constant (eg, what port I'm running on), and the ones that mean something else (eg, what port the auth token engine is running on) with a different constant. Better still, use the URL library from your ecosystem to do this, and pester your 3rd party library authors to stop parting out URLs. If I had a dollar for every URL interpolation bug I've had to fix...

That way when you have a customer whose antivirus is running on 8080, you can finally pull it out into config files, and you 'just' have to change the people who consume the constant to pull from config. Because you've already telegraphed the intent to do this.

A few jobs back I saw another side benefit to this: you can entice people to participate in improving the code. When code is really wrong people will ignore it. They can't be bothered to get invested in it. But when it's almost right they are often motivated to fix it the rest of the way. Either they see the potential and are inspired (new blood, trying to make their mark), or the unfulfilled potential grates on their sensibilities (crotchety veterans).
Governments and Corporations will never do anything without strong demand from individuals. Individuals however are completely unable to solve climate change through daily personal decisions, it has to come from large institutions.

All in all, the only way to address the issue of climate change is collective mass action, including strikes, boycotts, divestments, ect from all large polluting entities, while simultaneously leaving governments no other options but to address these issues head on.
The thing that really put git together for me was understanding that each commit id was based on the previous commit id. So you could have two branches with the exact same code committed...and have different commit id's.

That explains rebases...you take one branch and put it on top of another branches commits but REWRITE those new commit id's based on the new branches commits.

Merges, you keep the same commit ids but smush two branches together.

Also, when I do a git reset HEAD~1 and make changes I can force push and understand the my new code is overwriting the last commit.

I think that really helped my understanding of git.
