That's a documentary. Can you provide actual source?
Well the OP was saying that poverty has a psychological dimension and it seems to me you agree with that.

From your perspective that psychological dimension can be explained without much interiority (i.e. makes you do stupid things) but for the OP it needs explaining from the inside in terms of feelings.

You are both saying very similar things except you are applying very different value judgements to them.

If I had to guess I would say you have a rather more deterministic / mechanistic view of the human experience than the OP.
People have probably been happy with their tools for centuries. Just because one cannot imagine something better doesn't mean there's no possibility for it to exist. If anything, this defeatist attitude may prove the author right.

Fossil's intended use case is different from Git's; it was originally built as the VCS for SQLite. In terms of its target audience, it's basically GitHub-in-a-box for small or medium-sized teams. Implementation/usability-wise, it does some things better than Git, does other things worse, and yet others simply different (in a way that some may find better, some may find worse).
The interface can be swapped out if the underlying storage is fine. There is nothing preventing you from writing a different front end where “checkout” doesn’t do all the things.
I didn't say that illness makes the life not worth living. I said an illness that makes the life not worth living. What that is is a very personal decision and should be an option that a person can have. Note that it is pretty easy to safeguard such a system from impulse decision that are often caused by mental illness.

money spent isn't money burned--it paid people's salaries, it helped people gain skill and experience that will apply to future projects, and the total economic benefit (not just in dollars, but in capabilities and human capital), is a much broader picture than this one power plant and its dollar per mwh number.
There is also a git subrepo from subtree author, worth checking out IMHO
Maybe I am a weirdo but I have always thought that git's UI is very intuitive (with some exceptions like sub modules). SVN on the other hand was an unintutive mess where I had to look up commands all the time.
I've worked in teams where developers seemed terrified of merge conflicts, to the point of telling eachother not to edit a particular file which seems absurd. Maybe I don't know any better but they seem like part of life.
Fully agree.

The magic sweet spot might be the fact that most projects to not need to be distributed. This is where a lot of complexity is derived.

So without all those extra concerns - and - a more elegant UI framework (i.e. rational commands) - and possibly something that scales a little better. That's enough mojo to unseat git for a lot of things.
It’s not irreplacable. But it’s very well put together, and a great ecosystem of tooling exists around it. So any potential replacement would have to be a lot better for people to move.

And for those of us that remember the dark days of CVS and the pain of migration (I helped migrate drupal.org from CVS to Git), that is a good thing.

I don’t miss the days where you had to make difficult SCM choices when starting a new project, whether bzr, Mercural or Git was the right choice.

Git has become the lingua franca of SCM, and that is great. So many great developer tools exist that integrate seamlessly because it is safe to assume that 99% of the audience for it will be using Git.

Why not read it with a modicum of charity? Or even just quote the whole sentence? The parent was clearly saying the experience was nothing remotely like poverty, but helped give some perspective on what it might be like to have to regularly think about making money stretch to the next meal.

Obviously, we all have different experiences, and I'm not trying to say what you've seen isn't a thing. But I'm happy to report that most of the people I know don't like it when their communication is ineffective and are happy when they find an effective way to remove a layer of jargon (at least as long as it doesn't come with a loss of precision) to make things clearer for everyone.

This implies that the parent's sentiment about git is negative.

At least I personally feel very positively about git and am not missing much from it.
One of the points made in the article is that the US had not the authority to decide to kill him, no more than any other country in the world.

I used to get a bit frustrated when I'd look up some esoteric programming term and find a convoluted description of what was ultimately a simple concept that I was already using.
I think it's simple and elegant as a data structure, when what people need and want is something that is (at least also) simple and elegant in its UX and most importantly VERY simple and elegant for the 80/20 use cases.

For example a typical question on Stackoverflow is "How do I answer which branch this branch was created from", always has 10 smug answers saying "You can't because git doesn't really track that, branches are references to commits, and what about a) a detatched head? b) what if you based it off an intermediate branch and that branch is deleted? c) what if...

5 more answers go on to say "just use this alias!" [answer continues with a 200 character zsh alias that anyone on windows, the most common desktop OS, has no idea what to do with].

I don't want to write aliases. I usually don't want to consider the edge cases. If I have 2 long lived branches version-1.0 and master. I want to know whether my feature branch is based on master or version-1.0 and it's an absolute shitshow. Yes it's possible, but is it simple? Is it elegant? No.

The 80/20 (or 99/1) use case is

- centralized workflow.

- "blessed" branches like master and long lived feature branches that should ALWAYS show up as more important in hisory graphs.

- short lived branches like feature branches that should always show up as side tracks in history graphs.

Try to explain to an svn user why the git history for master looks like a zigzag spiderweb just because you merged a few times between master and a few feature branches. Not a single tool I know does a nice straight (svn style swimlane) history graph because it doesn't consider branch importance, when it should be pretty simple to implement simply by configuring what set of branches are "important".

Git scales well enough for almost everyone (especially if you have a little discipline with what you put in the repo).

It’s only huge megacorps that need larger scale things like GVFS.

As for large files, that is not what Git is for. Git is for source code. Much like how you don’t put large files in your RDBMS, you should not be putting them in your SCM either.
NitroPad: Secure Laptop with Tamper Detection
For some reason, I do not expect Dell or HP or anyone big to release a decent, high quality workstation with AMD inside. HP has consumer laptops with Ryzen, and they're the cheapest sheet possible, as expected. I believe Dell does the same.

By decent and high quality I mean socketable CPU, GPU and RAM, as well as a good selection of ports (forget TB if it's not possible, give me eSata) and high quality displays (even if 1080p). Could not care less about the weight/size.

The only ones I can see doing that are Clevo/Sager/Eurocom, or someone with a good business plan and a well funded Kickstarter...
Agreed. I prefer the approach of e.g. .se who have removed all sensitive data from whois and did so long before GDPR even. While it is a bit more work to reach out to domain holders now it is not like it was easy before since people rarely checked the email addresses which they used to register domains.
What's wrong with a 1080p display on a laptop? My current laptop has a 2560×1440 screen and I can almost guarantee that my next one will be 1080p matte if I can help it. There is just no point in me wasting compute on pixels that I'll never see.

I don't quite understand why a "binary AI" wouldn't be able to give you a probability on how much it thinks it's in reality (ie, an intermediate state).

> Cases where git needs to scale tend to be isolated to companies that have the manpower to build a finely-tuned replacement (see: MS, Google).

I recollect that for Windows (which also uses git), MS have actually extended git with "Git Virtual File System" rather than replace it[1]. But I do agree that broadly, not everyone needs the scale.

Me neither, but I look at eGPU enclosures regularly. I don't even need the GPU power, but a desktop card is miles ahead of a laptop if well cooled and overclocked.

"It’s gotten to the point where my Twitter and Mastodon accounts, side-by-side, look like they were written by different people."

This is a very interesting point. As much as many of us would like to think that we'll just be ourselves wherever we are, we will conform somewhat to the culture of our group to varying degrees. It may be the culture at work or in hobby groups or social media. I suppose we all may have jumping off points as well.

That's unfortunate. Which model do you have? We use models from the past 5 or so years, all with Nvidia cards, the only recent issue we've had was with a new model that arrived yesterday and Ubuntu 18.04 didn't have a wireless driver, but quick connection over ethernet and an update fixed that.

You also have to switch RAID to AHCI out of the box (if it came with Windows) but it's otherwise been smooth sailing from there.

As for graphics, Prime/Primus/Optimus (which ever it is, I'm never sure) is an issue with all machines and not a DELL issue, Linux support, in my experience, for switchable graphics is just terrible.

That's not right. You don't get to decide what people do with your gifts. That, too, is not how giving works.

For those who are addicted (and let's repeat that not everyone who is homeless is an addict, at least not yet) their addiction won't magickally vanish if you don't give them money to spend on drugs. They'll find their drugs anyway. Maybe not with your money, but they won't get any better because you didn't give them money. And they'll probably do something desperate to get it if they don't have money so you're probably protecting them from the worse if you do give them money.

Personally, I live in a place with a large population of homeless people and I give money. The majority don't look like they're junkies or anything, but even for the ones who are, if enough people give them money they'll get their drugs and they'll have some left to go and get themselves something else they need. You just have to fill the pot up.

I sometimes ask people what they need, if they're sitting outside a store. A guy once asked me for a Cadbury's and a bottle of Gatorade. I thought, yech, on both counts and the chocolate is defo unhealthy, but maybe it was a way to combat the cold or get a quick hit of energy? How would I know? I've never sat on my arse on a cold dirty pavement for days. If the folks who do that don't know best what they need, then I certainly don't so I might as well go with what they say.

Edit: And, to be perfectly honest, giving doesn't make me feel any better and it's not really helping the homeless much. What those people need is to get off the streets. Small donations like I can afford (I'm a PhD student after all) is at best helping them get by, if enough other people chip in. In the article, Anita helped the author's mother get a job. That's the kind of thing that changes a person's life, although of course packing up a warm meal for them is a very good start.

There was a young guy who was sitting in the same place for at least three or four years. I used to give him money when I went by on my way home from work (before I was a PhD student). It didn't matter that I gave him money. He was still there for all those years. You don't get people out of poverty by giving them your change. Not that you shouldn't - but what is needed is, well, scuse the involuntary pun but radical societal change. Is that coming from anywhere?

No, I meant defeatist as in "I have given up finding something better as it will never exist".
Ditto; I opted for the 4K display in my XPS 15, and as gorgeous as it may be it's beyond unnecessary for text editing, web browsing, and even watching video.

If I had to spec out the same machine today, I would opt for the 1080p display. Not just for the increased battery life, but better overall graphics performance as well. Unless you're doing serious graphics work, it's just not necessary.

4K has its place, but smaller displays where you'd be hard-pressed to notice the difference at typical viewing distances is just not it.

Couldn't you store the exported database as sql commands? I'm not familiar with every git hook, but if there aren't enough to automated that I guess you could wrap it.

The slowness of destroying a whole database and then recreate it when checking out should be something you can handle by relying on the diff to generate a series of delete commands and a series of insert commands.

But yeah, I guess committing will be slow if you have a lot of data to export. For the time being, it's a trade off to be made.

[I might consider testing this with my current database project. But I'm using SQLite so I guess that implies a lot less data than Postgres.]
