Mercurial does have a staging area, it is just turned off by default (and this is a good thing).

Mercurial has a very good extension system, and ships several useful extension in the default installation. The 'record' extension adds the 'commit individual hunks' functionality of the git staging area, and needs a one line "record=" in your config file to enable it. See: https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/RecordExtension

By having some of these functionalities in extensions, the core interface is kept simpler and easier to learn, but the more powerful features are still there for those who want them.
What's clin?
Surprisingly shallow discussion here. Ownership itself is lease. Sibling comment mentioned home ownership and tenant laws.

Home and land ownership is one of trickiest types of ownership. It turns out, that in democratic and civilized sosieties you don't actually own realty. You lease it with significant restrictions.

Inheritance laws make it even more clear. Law might decide that particular part of property is valued $x euro. A trademark. A patent. An option. So, you must cede control of this part of inherited good to state. If you truly owned it, inheritance taxes would be zero.

Sure, but I never saw anything as ambiguous as:

* Be used for action generation or online content creation;

* Take the user directly into the action generation or content creation flow;

* Allow Google Registry to verify compliance at no cost.

That some AI script with a failure quote of ~2% will verify your compliance wont help also.

And the only way to get some human support in those cases is when you manage to get on page 1 of HN with your "crying for help" tweet.

Not 100% sure of the repo name, as it's not displayed in the document.

At a guess this is the one, and it still seems to be on GitHub:

The GitHub pages hosted website still seems to be online too:

Just to complete the picture - I recently found a box of VHS tapes at my parents' house of all of the cartoons I watched over and over again as a kid. It was fun seeing them again, and of course they still played fine 30 years later.
Loved the Model M [1] keyboard supplied with PC AT and the RS/6000. A colleague had one recently; we had to rig it up with a DIN/USB converter. Then it was a pleasure to use, but very loud with its clicketty clacketty action. Let everybody know that I was hammering out the code like unrolling a carpet! So instead of getting an old Model M I bought a Corsair K70 for my home rig. Great solidity and tactile feedback. Audible too, though not as loud as the Model M. Recommended for old school devs like myself who want that 80/90s keyboard feel.

That still seems pretty reasonable. They want ".new" to be seen and used as an interaction element, not as a random TLD. E.g. if twitter would get one, twitter.new would bring you somewhere where you could directly start typing a new tweet.
At which level of abstraction?
A) A little late now, since as is stated in the letter people are already mirroring the repo

B) can the app really be spreading that fast, if people are having to download it from github, and override their devices security settings to install it?

> Mercurial does have the ability to only include some things in commits

So do p4 and svn, through "changelists". The difference is that only in git is the staging area "persistent" from one command to another, and hidden from you when you run the default "what are the differences between my working directory and the head" command.
> for example, it is very natural to name them "a,A,b,B"

And just to clarify once again, since I'm not sure who will read which reply: those are NOT the same identifiers in Nim!

let
a = 11
b = 22
A = 99
B = 88

echo a == A # false
echo b == B # false

I'm not sure I understand. How could removing a commit from the history not be a destructive operation? It would necessarily affect every commit after it, hashes or no hashes, because for each commit following, the state of the tree would change, and thus so would the commit.

To my mind It would be akin to walking across the room and then somehow changing things such that you took one step fewer than required.

I'm not sure what kind of implementation you're envisioning that could work the way you seem to describe. Or do you mean that git should save the entire state of the repository as independent blobs every time you commit something? I don't think you could do that with any hope of reasonable performance.

If you instead just allowed "removing" commits logically without actually physically altering the datastructure on disk, there's no point in providing the functionality in the first place.
> On the one hand, yes Electron eats a lot of RAM and native apps are more efficient, BUT you can buy 16GB for $100 (and that will only get cheaper/more abundant), and we do finally get to have nice things on Linux, which is new and exciting.

I'm on the fence about Electron. While I do love how it's made portability easier (especially to Linux) I do think people outside of our tech circle get forgotten about.

For example $100 might be pocket money for us but we do need to remember that not everyone in the world has that luxury. I think sometimes peoples obsession with making pretty things with Electron leads them to forget about people on low income or countries where computers are expensive resources.

There's also an argument to be made for how native applications are generally better for people who depend on accessibility features too.
I think there is messing to find out how it works (works best with man-made technology), and there's applying/marketing stuff that we don't yet understand.
4th item from Netflix FAQ on their website in plain English:

>Netflix content will vary by region, and may change over time.
> A list is just a space-separate string with quoting rules and the difference is entirely in manipulation.

This has not been true since the release of Tcl 8.0 that added the Tcl_Obj subsystem.

Lists in modern Tcl (8.0+, with 8.0 released in 1997) are proper O(1) indexed arrays. Yes, you can still request from Tcl the 'string' representation of the O(1) indexed array, and the result you get is the old (pre 8.0) "space-separate [sic] string with quoting rules" variant that will parse back into the O(1) indexed array later if you want.

But Tcl lists have not been /only/ those strings for a very long time.

Fair point, that probably lowers the odds of recognition a bit, but the UA stands out because of the multiple variables that it reports in one header.

At any. To verify your models about a system, you need to prod it and see if it responds the way your model predicted. Passive observations alone usually aren't enough to even build a correct model. Whether you're interested in understanding low level mechanics or high-level system behavior, the procedure is the same.

I enjoyed the article. I see mindfulness being a truly helpful tool, but I can also see it as being a bludgeon to numb people to the status quo. The closest thing that I can think of that is similar is physical exercise. Physical exercise is legitimately helpful for maintaining a healthy life for nearly all (if not all) human beings, but there is definitely an industry around getting people to buy things to get them into shape with various probabilities of success. Similar to the author’s assertion about physical exercise, there are credible factors that affect physical health outside of just physical exercise such as diet/nutrition and physical/mental stress. Dealing with these other issues that affect physical health is more difficult and particularly when food-producing industries have a vested interest in getting people to eat more, and employers have a vested interest in getting the most out of their employees.

For what it is worth, The Guardian’s “the long read” section has the following in the subtitle, “The long read

Highlight and use The middle mouse button to past (often you can “click” the wheel of a mouse with a scroll wheel for middle button.). It’s quite fast.

You hit the nail on the head. That's exactly the same reason why the big German Auto companies can't build a Tesla rival even though they have more resources.

All the old boys managers of ICE tech run the show and don't want electric to be too successful as their decades of experience in a now outdated tech would put the future of their corporate careers in danger.

Had a similar situation at an ex company where a manger would only allow a crummy outdated tool he developed 10 years ago to be used as that guaranteed his job security.

To move forward you have to find the people holding the company back and cut them off, but that's difficult to see from an upper management perspective.
Ah, I misunderstood you. I thought you were asking for the identity of a commit to be the identity of the contents of that commit, i.e. the changes - but it seems you're talking about the contents of the working tree at the moment of the commit, with no dependency on prior history.
Not quite true - I'm salaried, but because I earn over a specific amount, and have children, I have to file a tax return.

> and more the point I feel exploited just so that Apple can update its OS and force us to move onto their next big thing.

This is a rather curious stance, as "force" is a hyperbolic word indeed to describe a default setting that you can permanently turn off in literally four clicks (System Preferences > Software Update > Uncheck the box for automatic updates, and accept the warning)
Calling an employee "disgruntled" is one of those words like calling an ex "jilted". It's an attempt by a speaker to get you to side against the subject of the story they're about to tell, even though the story will likely make you side with the subject. When it's obvious that an employee/ex is acting rash or unreasonable, the adjective is superfluous and left out.
> Also the words "serious public disorder" send chills down my spine for some reason.

It's unclear who translated the letter. It may have been a github employee.

In the original it says "graves desórdenes públicos" which could also be translated as "grave public disturbances". The word "desorden" definitely doesn't have a medical connotation as "disorder" has in English.

Well, it is. Maybe. Or not.

Part of engineering is to form a reasonable understanding of how quickly cracks grow, and then document that as "check for cracks every x/2 days", where x is the number of days necessary for a crack to grow to a dangerous size and 2 is a number I invented ten seconds ago.

It has been said that Boeing has been a little sloppy about that second bit recently, though, so perhaps Quantas is distrustful and has reason. Here for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/bdfqm4/the_real_rea... and I quote: "James had constantly raised red flags about safety corners Boeing was cutting on the 787 rollout. Things like putting the plane out before there was a good understanding of crack propagation speed, nondestructive testing protocols and repair protocols for all the carbon fiber on the plane. These were extremely serious issues that Boeing swept under the rug to get the 787 out faster. Because he wouldn't toe the line on this, James got exiled to the shitty little backwater …"

Except in the title, for starters. And then in your comment, which is built on the assumption that mindfulness benefits corporations. Your whole argument is a stretch at best, but even if I were to concede that companies benefit from this, it is hardly proof that they would actively invest time, money and effort into playing this incredibly long game through which their gains are, at best, indirect. I think you're looking for a conspiracy theory where there is none.

I’m firmly in the camp of use what makes you feel productive, and can’t really grasp the tribalism around OS choice. I generally have bought Apple hardware because it’s nicely engineered and offers the most choice for “legal” OS usage. I’m not all that thrilled with my latest MacBook Pro keyboard and I definitely use it less because of that. I know it’s a popular meme right now to say Apple software sucks now! But I’m not really seeing it with Catalina. In fact I usually wait about 6-12 months to switch to the new version and didn’t this time. Audio apps are notorious for lagging behind in supporting the latest version of the os. This time around I updated my iMac Pro and it surprisingly just worked with all my outboard gear, all my apps and it seems rock solid. I recently bought a surface for my kids who can’t wrap their mind around Mac OS and it has been largely uneventful as well. I think that both windows and Mac are in a pretty good state when using the official hardware. Maybe I’m just lucky...
