> If the first line of a commit message is a title, it changes the way you write it. It becomes just some text to introduce some more text, without any stress on the information density.

I agree with the author that commit messages should optimize for information density. However the example they provide does a poor job of this:

> This is a smart synopsis, as information dense as possible.

"This is a" is the type of thing that should never appear in a commit message as it could apply to EVERY commit message. Synopsizing is the action, but doesn't indicate what is being synopsized; one of the most important facts for someone to understand what is happening here. Finally "as information dense as possible", again should also be cut as this is telling us HOW not WHAT (and ironically hurts information density).

Were I writing this example it would be:

Synopsize how to write a commit message

I led an initiative at my current company to enforce all commit messages start with an imperative verb and be less than 72 characters. Some people hate it, some people love it.

Aside from standardization, the primary reason to do this is the imperative mood leads to the most concise sentence possible. By leading with the action, the most natural thing to do next is to talk about what is being acted upon. Unnecessary words are dropped and the most important facts are emphasized. In short it forces the author to get to the point.

[Act] upon [some aspect of the code]

e.g.

Add user login link on home screen
Refactor authentication into separate classes
Lint PR titles conform to standard format
Blog posts are prima-facie evidence of notability. Same thing with mentions in published articles. From the book (second link):

"Recognizing that Value Vectors meet the needs of other data processing engines, in February 2016, the Apache Software Foundation announced Apache Arrow as a top-level project, bypassing the standard Incubator process. Committers to the project include developers from other Apache projects such as Calcite, Cassandra, Drill, Hadoop, HBase, Ibis, Impala, Kudu, Pandas, Parquet, Phoenix, Spark and Storm.

Apache Arrow enables execution engines like Spark to take advantage of the latest operations included in modern processors, for fast analytical data processing. Columnar layout of data allows for better use of CPU caches by placing all data relevant to a column operation in as compact of a format as possible. ...

Apache Arrow software is available under the Apache License v2.0.

Dremio, a startup led by Jacques Nadeau, chair of the Apache Drill and Apache Arrow Project Management Committees, leads the development."

In the past, this and the other sources would have been more than enough to establish notability. I know that because I have created Wikipedia articles on subjects much less notable than that. The problem for Apache Arrow isn't that it isn't notable enough, it is that people have already tried four times to get it included in Wikipedia so the Wikipedians voting on new page inclusions are getting suspicious about it.
Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate it as a default, it just doesn’t make sense for Terminal.app to not have full disk access from the start: I.e. when I first open the terminal, I should get a security pop up requesting full disk access
Where prostitution has been completely legalized there’s been a huge increase in demand, and the market has responded not with an increase in wages for sex workers but with an increase in slavery. In practice the least-bad policy seems to be legal/decriminalized to sell but illegal to buy.
Indians such as myself are well aware of the reality of Indian work culture and business ethics. Indian corporations take tax evasion, environmental negligence, and worker abuse to an extreme far beyond what the US or any other developed country has to deal with. It is certainly improving for several reasons - a burgeoning startup environment, environmental awareness, better education - but I hardly find it racist to point it out.
Stereotypes based on half-truths aren't necessarily rascist
I keep hearing and reading horror stories like this one on HN and other website. I never did interviews at big companies, nor did I do any in the US, in 15 years of freelancing, I only had once a technical interview, with a C++ guru, I failed most of the questions but still got hired because "you still did good, kept calm and asked good questions".

In my last gig, it was for a work on a Java application. I was upfront that I only did a bit of Java in school, but that I was more of a C++ guy. The Java guru hirer was like "Yeah, if you know C++, you'll get Java quickly" they were more interested in my experience with video and image processing.

I basically avoid to do HR-based interviews. Short-circuit them when you can.
I'm impressed by the amount effort that went into that header svg.

Since you feel so strongly about it, let me argue that you're simply wrong:

Infinities have the opposite effect then you might think, they make things simpler. It's much easier to reason about an infinite list of numbers then to reason about 64 bit numbers.

In analysis, it's much easier to reason about infinitely differentiable, or smooth, surfaces then very rigid and complicated services.

The fact that infinities cause some complications in the foundations itself is a drop in the bucket to the practical application and simplifications of day to day mathematics.
Noooooo! When I ehard about backpage being shut down because it was the biggest place for child sex trafficking, I said it was the dumbest move they could make. You have a website with the vast majority of illegal sex traffickers COMING TO YOU, and you close it? Why? Make BP a deal, give the FBI an office to scan everything so they can go after child sex traffickers, and you can stay open. We'd have arrested thousands of them by now.
This doesn’t apply to regulated professions with their own code of ethics. Maybe software development ought to become one.
Because the enforcement is pro business and anti-worker.

This: replace indian with chinese or any other country where the quality of life, pay, and opportunities are not as great as in the destination countries and you have the main reason, a large pool of desperate people and managers/directors trying to "improve" their bottom line. Pay everyone the same across the board! Why pay programmers of equal value differently for the exact same work? FAANG companies do this within the US across various regions. How about fixing that first.
I first read this story somewhere, back in the early 90's. It is a great piece of hacker lore, and a lesson (IMO), to not ignore little "rounding errors", as they can often be indicative of bigger problems lurking beneath. That is not to say these issues always need to be fully addressed and resolved, just properly understood.
That was the 'killer feature'[1] really. They were great for unexpectedly needing a drive, or driving one way to somewhere you were going to drink (and cab/uber home) etc.

Can you explain your reasoning? Specialist is exactly the role I need to outsource.
The book is completely fascinating from multiple perspectives and I suggest anyone who wants to get a feel for the era read it. It's quite enjoyable, as well. The Internet, today, feels very metropolitan in some ways, but then this was something of a wild frontier.

Reading The Cuckoo's Egg gave me a frisson of recognition, as I was similarly torn between the abstract world of physics and the (comparatively) more concrete world of computing, as well as running into people mucking about where they had no business being during a time period when law enforcement had yet to develop a solid framework for responding to those sorts of issues.

I have considered contacting him purely for some hourglass work, or at least tips as to what to look for.

The acquired. Near as I can tell they are made verbal promises and asked to relay them to their employees to calm things down. Once the dust settles these executives are often superfluous. They got their exit, why stick around instead of moving on to something new?

Now there is no person accountable for the promises the former employee/boss made. Therefore, the promises do not exist.
And what is "the community"?

Haskell indeed has less penetration than something more popular like JavaScript.

But the Haskell language is not easy to use if you're a script-kiddy. Most "easy" languages can have some form of copy-paste reuse, and a lot of "the community", it would seem, just append together useful snippets to get their programs done (and whether they have a deep understanding or not is not needed).

This isn't true for Haskell. It's actually quite hard to just "copy/paste" Haskell without out knowing the underlying concepts. I wager that the reason there seems to be less.of a community in Haskell is due to this property.
Step 1: pick a commit message format.

Then put everyone under 24 hour surveillance. That is the only logical choice given your goals. If you allow someone any amount of freedom, you can't be sure they won't used it this try and enslave someone else.
I wasn’t referring to the IP clauses when I said moving towards. I meant it in the context of employers glorifying passion and moving the baseline job requirements towards having projects outside of work.

ALS is not an alias for MNDs in general. Instead, it's an example for an MND.
Used them here in MPLS until they pulled out. I was able to replace car ownership with their network of smart cars. Even as a heavy user in the winter, my spend was less than $300.00, never paid for parking, no insurance, no fuel. It was such a great idea. I would have paid more (it was like 0.35 per minute or $12 per hour).
They are both open source, so anyone can consider it.
If you want to sum up something like 10 years of debate and consideration of the role of blogs as sources (it’s much more complicated than that they’re not allowed) by saying, in effect, “you’re all wrong”, well you do you.
>By definition a company offering outsourcing services is not a company that is hiring specialists.

Counterpoint: If a specialist is so specialized that no single company can justify hiring them full time, an outsourcing/contracting firm is the perfect place to be.

But you really do need to be of certain sizes to "grok" CloudForms value proposition.
Firefox should not be ignoring libc DNS without prompting.
The most prolific contemporary proponent of this view is probably Norman Wildberger, who takes a very unconventional approach and tries to build everything without real numbers, which he doesn't believe make physical or logical sense and therefore shouldn't be used as a basis for anything.

He's very nearly a minority of one, mind you.
It's often hilarious when I hear western analyses of Buddhism and the Buddha. It's like a trying to understand general relativity using analogies and guesses. You feel like you understand it, till you get to the Mathematics of it.

First of all drop your arrogance. And understand that your way of thinking is already shaped by deep underlying assumptions that often originated in a Christian backdrop, including western science. In orthodox Buddhism, like that in Sri Lanka, the path to understanding Buddhism is uncontroversial, difficult but uncontroversial. Like you would spend years studying in schools to become a Physicist or a Mathematician, put in that hard work and after that you might actually be in a credible position to tell the world what is mythical about Buddhism and what is not.

Story of the Buddha doesn't start at Siddhartha Gautama. It's a story that spans a time frame that is not humanly perceivable making what is mythical and what is not exceedingly relative. Of course when you attach a loaded word like "myth" to anything that you can't experience from when and where you are now, none of that matters anymore.
RPA will reach $2.3bn next year and $4.3bn by 2022
Sometime in high school (middle maybe?), I had to pick a non-fiction book to read for school, and picked Cuckoo's Egg by Stoll. I was already in to computers, but had no idea what was possible or where that interest in computers would or could go, and this booked changed my view for the better. I distinctly remember my teacher questioning it was non-fiction when reading the jacket, but sure enough, it was. It's an great memory and amazing book, well worth reading still.

Beat me to it, i thought this was a cool demonstration. I wonder if blowing some fine combustible material, like corn starch, would give embers that we could see to help visualize the flows more precisely.

Also i wonder if these could be used as a suppressor.
these are teens, it will always be a black market product for them, though. Even if you regulate it, no one should be selling it to teens period. There is no solution to this.
Why weren't they prosecuted for the crime?

Because they settled...

And the $800k seems low (and probably is) but it only relates to state taxes, which are lower than federal taxes, and only applies to a specific, relatively uncommon type of non immigrant worker. Offset against the $800k is the cost they don't spend prosecuting the case, or collecting the amount deemed owed.

If it doesn't go anywhere, doesn't that imply that it is illegal and that there's a cover up going on? Why do you assume that the government can effectively self regulate?

The whole reason we have a separation of powers is because government doesn't effectively self regulate. In to case of the NSA, Congress effectively looked the other way and gave the NSA pre-approval through having the FISA courts essentially rubber stamp everything. So in this case, we didn't really have an effective separation of powers. The courts weren't working and Congress was willing to let them break the law.

That's exactly the case where you go public. You release a little bit of less sensitive information to show you have it, and continue to release information if the state refuses to discuss it. From everything I've read, Snowdon's intent was never to harm the US, but to correct illegal behavior.
The article notes they already settled with the feds.
There is no democratic solution to this. It doesn't matter if you vote labor, conservative, democrats, republicans, greens. Democracy is no longer for, of, or by the people. Unfortunately the solution probably involves a spiral to the point that people are really suffering, followed by a violent revolution. However given the fragmented state of our societies perhaps a violent revolution would be easily divided by the powers that be into ethnic or whatever groups. Divide and conquer has worked so far in destroying our democracies.

They are a summary of what will happen if the commit (which is a bunch of commands) is applied.

They also can elaborate on the context around the commit. It's thoughtful of the commiter if your coworkers don't need to dive into the detailed changes to get a broad picture of why the commit exists.

The word carpenter originally referred to carriages or carts.

You know what I find the most frustrating? The totally illegitimate laws that allow these state secrets to exist are 100% public. Most of Snowden's revelations could be infer in the text of laws stating what the NSA can do.

I think there is the mentality that progress depends on ~~superheroes~~ whistle-blowers whereas I think that a sane and functioning network of privacy defense non-profits and appropriate public education could have prevented this situation to begin with.

To be a good software engineer, you must not follow simple rule based advice, or rule based counter advice....(irony intended )

A lot of comments are very definitive on how things should be or how you should act. Contextually, they may well be correct. But a good software engineer should always look for the deeper underlying issues. Working and communicating well with others and coming to collective decisions has a lot of contextual nuance. But it's always good to distill advice from others and look at what principle they are trying to advocate.
Which restrictions do you mean? There are very few instances of speech regulated by the government. Mostly threats and incitement of violence.
An added note to this, I've been a part of communities that have been sold, and a lot of them fell apart after the charismatic and friendly founder that brought everyone together transitions away. So if you're thinking about doing that, make sure you don't overpay for a community that is just there because they like the founder.

Also a lot of the community forums were bought by investors that saw advertising dollar signs but didn't know how to actually run anything (issues with portions of the CMS / forums / etc breaking down) so that could also have to do with it.
