I wish git had a builtin notion of two different types of commits: working commits and release commits.

I really like making tiny, continuous commits as I work. It's a great flow. git-revert becomes a Ctrl-Z on steroids. I don't what to clutter up the "official" history, with all these tiny changes, many of which don't even compile. That breaks git-bissect and all kinds of other flows.

So the only option is to squash commits. But there's something deeply uncomfortable and unsettling about permanently re-writing history. Plus, it's nice to have a history of those working commits as an artifact. If I'm trying to unpack the reason that I did something 9 months ago, then seeing a replay of the code changes is super-useful.

hey HN! I posted this before, but this is a new update that includes a PDF report and some improvements to the NLP stuff.

You can probably break it if you try but would love feedback on the idea and what you'd like to see added to the report.

TIA!

I do something similar. Typing isn't bad but it's sometimes tough to get your fingers at the right starting positions for touch typing. I put a few tactile stickers on the keyboard to help. Otherwise it is very comfortable.

In my experience, I've found a MS Surface and a gooseneck ipad holder is a lightweight ideal laydown desk. I clamp the gooseneck a few feet above me in bed and I can lay perfectly flat and have access to a full PC.

It also can be disassembled and stored in moments.
I guess that's true, but many projects I see use USB power banks for arduinos and I don't think this is too different.

I made Copybara Action to be able to open-source parts of our monorepo while keeping the rest private.

The result is a tool that lets you setup a sync from one monorepo that is the source of truth to as many other repos as you want. It syncs back PR's as well.

Example use cases:

- Create a mirror of a repo, changing or omitting a few files

- Open-source sub-packages from your monorepo

- Create "workspace" repos from your monorepo to give someone access to only parts of it (eg. temp freelance)

We are using nx as a monorepo tool, here is an example of it using the Copybara Action: https://github.com/olivr/nx-copybara

Under the hood, as the name implies, it uses Copybara (Google), and this action can be customized to use the full power of Copybara if you wish so.

If you think of other use cases or put together another example you want me to link to from the README, just hit me up here or on GitHub.
Interesting thing is that they (Nobel Foundation) are not allowed to make any changes to the statue that Nobel left, such as removing three person limit.

The Great Barrington Declaration
Why do it locally when most modern repository software (GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, etc) can do it for you when a PR is merged?

My point of view is that if work is being done on an individual feature or bug fix, having a view of the individual commits might help give any reviewers important context on how a final solution was arrived at. It can also be helpful to be able to see the specific changes that have been made since a prior review.

While in most cases I favor squashing commits when it comes time to merge into the parent branch, it seems like doing it manually just creates extra work and potentially throws away information that may have been useful to reviewers.
What is exactly the point of such devices? If you create something worthwhile with it, you cannot exactly include it in your product. I get that you can create something like a one off garage opener based on face recognition, but you won't learn any real world knowledge of developing a product and if you later on decide that this is something for you, you'll have to learn a whole new ecosystem.
These devices remind me of "game maker" software claiming you could make your own game with it, but you were limited with what developer had in store for you and you wouldn't become a game developer from using it.
This person got hold of a review board and write up an interesting detailed tutorial: https://medium.com/@ageitgey/build-a-face-recognition-system...

> The metaphorical comparison with XB-70 ends when performance is concerned. F1 hybrids are still far superior to pure battery electric vehicles. So F1 is essentially stuck in the upper-left corner of the price-performance envelope. They are too good to move to pure electric, but their tech is obsolete for road cars.
They are specifically mentioning stable coins as an inspiration/competition. When you have to say why your product is better than another, you are definitely taking it seriously.

Of course cryptocurrencies are not short term risk for central banks, but they already have some advantages that grow long term.

I understand the concern, but what makes a smart speaker any different from a smart phone? They also have a microphone that can eavesdrop on conversations, are harder to monitor for unexpected traffic and also provide location information.

How many people that refuse to have a smart speaker also refuse to have a smart phone?

Uricase [0] is not mentioned in this article.

Urate oxidase is found in nearly all organisms, from bacteria to mammals, but is inactive in humans and several other great apes, having been lost in primate evolution. This means that instead of producing allantoin as the end product of purine oxidation, the pathway ends with uric acid.

Uricase is an enzyme that breaks down uric acid to allantoin and is the primary way most mammals regulate their uric acid levels. Our early ancestors also had uricase, but as they lived primarily on fruit, they were still able to eat enough fructose to provide the key energy they needed.

Unfortunately, during the Miocene Epoch, there was global cooling that affected fruit availability, especially during the cooler months, and as the fruit became scarce, many apes starved to extinction.

During this time a mutation in uricase occurred which amplified the uric acid response during fructose metabolism. This provided a survival advantage by resulting in enhanced storage of fat in response to fructose. This mutation, which is present in all humans, amplifies our metabolic responses to fructose compared to most other mammals [1].

It's a great idea imho, but requires central banks to more rapidly modernize (both from a technology and policy perspective). It banks the unbanked or underbanked, and it provides basic financial services to citizens as they should be treated: as a utility (no cost citizen deposit accounts, low cost instant payments, etc). This would also enable policy efforts the ECB wants to champion (srgseg has a great comment about this [1]). There are efforts on the US Fed front to push for this also [2].

I'd bake in micropaynents based on digital currency from the very start.

So in other words I'd invent Bitcoin or eth and make them first class citizens on the web so we have p2p payments for content, and this would then happen before KYC and AML so everyone would be awash in a sea of digital currency and all world be right with the world.

I'd also pass a law in every country that created a Digital World Heritage Fund, making destroying of digital works and sites deemed heritage a crime or offence. Digital preserve for us and the future. And I'd make sure GeoCities was on the Digital Heritage List.

I'd also make search, and a basic news feed based social network first class citizens part of the infrastructure of the internet, free and available to everyone, and supported in the same manner that the network backbone is supported... Or better... I'm not an expert on that part, someone else can nut out the details of how to support it.

In that parallel universe, Zuckerberg would be expelled from Harvard for spinning off Hot or Not into a porn site called Facebook, and trying to blackmail students with sextapes for favors, and Larry would be CS head of dept at Stanford, while Sergei would lose both arms in a wingsuit accident and become a womanizing paralympian. Eric Schmidt would stay at Novell, and Google.com would be owned by a birdwatcher from Nova Scotia with a side hustle in crank conspiracy theories.

YouTube would be the most popular website in the world, where a cat would have its own channel and become the first animal billionaire, then be elected to the US Senate in Delaware, and then removed in a tax scandal.

2001 would never Pop and the founding team at Pets.com would now be there richest people in the world.

Just to nitpick technically the Linux VM is running beside a Windows VM, when you use WSL.

But your point remains, and frankly I don’t quite get all the hubbub about WSL when Linux VMs have existed for years. Do people really think it’s somehow different?
There are limits to contracts, including nontermimable or notransactable rights.
I wonder if this is legacy software shoehorned into a current-day emergency situation, or something that vendors recently built as Covid-19 ramped up. In practice, depending on the data workflow and expected use cases, it's not terrible to use software that records in an Excel spreadsheet, especially if the software is intended for scenarios of 1 to 100K records. But today, it seems like a lot more work to create such a rickety system than to, say, design around SQLite.

The Daily Mail had a concerning detail about the current "fix":

They are literally development kits for the embedded chips and modules NVidia sells. What you prototype on a dev kit you can easily transfer to production hardware that incorporates those modules.

And if you just do CUDA experiments with it, those transfer at least partially to other environments (e.g. desktop/server hardware with GPUs) too.

Where do you get the idea this isn't transferable?
This sounds uncomfortable but to each their own.
Couples usually need a good prospect for the future to commit to having children. Many don't feel that the future is bright enough.
Sure, I agree with that. However, I guess my point is:

- If someone is reliant on the government for basic necessities of life, should they ideally work to reach a state where they can provide for themselves using their own income/skills/etc. and wean themselves off of government aid?

- If the answer to the previous question is 'yes', how can we subsidize/incentive getting off of government aid? It seems to me that it's easy to get stuck in an inter-generational trench where the government provides your food, shelter, etc. I'm interested in how to help people help themselves.
What are some therapeutics that would make a significant difference if administered (possibly years) early?
I suppose you could cherry-pick the new branch onto the squashed version, but I'm still not sure of the value.

You have the local work history already, and that work is done to the point of it being squashed and pushed. Why would you need to keep referencing it to the point that it's inconvenient to have it in another branch?

> you'd need to keep each branch alive still, each time based on the squashed history plus your individual commits up until the next squash.

exactly what I do, and there are maybe just three or four branches I maintain for reference, very few squashed branches are useful a couple of weeks after they are released.

You should keep the public rooms up, but show a viewer counter and duration of how long the room has been alive. That way, if someone comes onto the page, they can see if a room has been actively streaming to an audience, which would be less likely to disconnect, versus a room that someone created on a whim that they don't intend on keeping around
There is nothing in this report that suggests this is anything more than the record of actual requests to the devices. So no, these devices are not "spying on you". When you send out a request to a 3rd party service, yeah, it's going to be subject to this sort of thing.
Can anyone point to anything to support the state’s case here? It seems perverse and like they’re not even pretending to seek justice.
Thanks. I looked at the specifications; it's not clear how that would connect to the server. All SATA ports are taken and USB is too slow (estimated 72 hours) for a full backup and would require 6-8 tape changes.

Negative Social Proof
Whatsapp was something like 50 employees and a 400m users when FB bought them in 2014.

Meanwhile, its impossible to find good information on how long can children be infectious. My daughter is 3 weeks after first symptoms and we'd like to get her back in kindergarden after 4 weeks.

The same for RT-PCR -- I tested positive one month after first symptoms, but I also have good igg antibodies.

Didn't people do this RT-PCR testing for influenza before?
Are RT-PCR tests for influenza still positive one month after first flu symptoms?

I mean, the quality of information you can google up as a COVID-19 patient is absolute shit, most of what google shows is sensationalized news articles directed at the non-positive, scared general public.
Same as it's always been: Gaming. I bet even this $59 computer can play games surprisingly well. Obviously not modern AAA titles or anything like that, but there's many decades' worth of games it can play (including ones originally released for non-PC platforms). There's lot of interesting Pi-powered handhelds and mini-arcade setups running emulated games; this seems like it'd be significantly better at that.
Is this wired only? For example kdeconnect just uses wifi for that.
I am not sure but I think that it is for various "soft RAIDs" like those that come with AHCI / SATA controllers (including integrated ones). True hardware RAID controlelr probably require more magic.
