It's, of course, impossible to do a practical experiment where someone doesn't learn, and therefore become biased toward, one of them first, and then learn the other after.

For my part, what I can say is, I used Mercurial for one year, and Git almost exclusively (I do occasionally touch Subversion) for a straight decade after that. And I still find myself having to consult Git's documentation far more often than I ever did with Hg. And, even now, I find myself having to un-pick minor screw-ups in Git more often than I did after only a couple months on Mercurial.

I'm pretty sure that the problem here is ultimately the UI and not the data model. No, I'm sure it is. Every time there's a conversation about Mercurial vs Git, and someone says, "Git's not that bad, all you have to do is learn the data model, and then learn all the different ad-hoc ways the UI is bound to it," my immediate thought is, "You see, that's exactly the point. The thing that's nice about Hg is that you don't have to take this extra learning step, because the data model and the UI model are one and the same."

Also, merge conflicts seem much more common in Git. I'm not sure if that's a UI problem or a data model problem; I could see it being either or both. In any case, I felt much more comfortable allowing branches to live for days in Hg. In Git, branches that survive past 24 hours seem to always result in either shaving or getting trampled by yaks.

From an SDK approach you might want to start with a generic language library/sdk rather than a specific framework. In Python for example, I see a Flask implementation (cool) but wishing there was one for Django. You will get more miles out of a generic SDK per language, than can be used within framework specific implementations longer term. Less to support and less overhead to test.
Maybe I should give this a try. I've never been a nap person unless I got <5-6h of sleep the previous day, but seems worth a try.
It would be interesting to see a review site that is also part forum (a la HN or old reddit), and maybe part blog, as well.

The basic idea being that you share a handle between all 3 places, so it's easier to determine the trustworthiness of the reviewer -- both in terms of identifying fake/paid reviews and figuring out whether the reviewer's standards match your own.

Or they treat continuing to use the site as consent. Some of them are really passive-aggressive about it too. I've seen cookie banners with wording like "We use cookies, because duh, who doesn't in 2020? Click here or keep using the site to accept."

Completely at odds with the whole "informed consent" thing.

Those farms are abandoned, and have returned to forest cover, precisely because modern agricultural methods have made it possible to raise plenty of food using far less land than the "traditional" "organic" methods ever did.

Just as I said.

I'm not sure why that counts as "moving goalposts".

And my "endgame" here is to not doom billions of people in the Third World to starvation because modern agricultural methods offend the sensibilities of privileged white people living in an affluent society.

For sure - I am really interested in finding ways that would help new or smaller websites get traffic and in web discovery.

I also wonder if Google is somehow getting worse about this. For example, I happen to know now (though I didn't know when I started the stumblingon project) that there are a couple other similar sites that exist. However, when I originally googled "Stumble Upon" and phrases like "Stumble Upon Alternative" or "Stumble Upon Clone" I never saw any of the others that do exist. Instead, it is/was mostly "Top N Stumble Upon Alternatives"-type listicles that weren't very good and would suggest things like "Facebook". Oddly, the top result, for me, for "Stumble Upon Clone" is this weird website [1] which I think is selling Stumble Upon clones, like - they will make a Stumble Upon clone for you. (Possible I'm misreading that).

> I've chatted with an Amazon rep on the issue, and to their credit they seemed to take it seriously and "noted the report violation against the seller"

I was deliberately scammed by a seller, and the wave of bad reviews they received after I purchased made me think I was not the only one with whom they dealt dishonestly. I contacted Amazon and received a similar reaction the author of the article received, except they were even more explicit in telling me they were going to shut the seller down over it. They seemed to take it very seriously, but I was still skeptical anything would come of it.

That was months ago, the seller is still around, and is still getting terrible reviews.

Amazon has come a long way on a lot of fronts, but in terms of being customer-focused they are so much worse than they used to be.

Edit: I also ordered something that died during the warranty period. Manufacturer/seller (one in the same) was utterly worthless. Wouldn't respond to a single inquiry. They released a revised version, emailed their customer list, and I responded saying I'd buy it if they hadn't already demonstrated that they were so dishonest.

They asked me to place a paid order on the new model, email them the receipt and the link to my 5-star review, and insisted they would directly PayPal me my purchase price afterwards. (Of the new, less expensive version. Not the original I paid ~2x for.) They also refused to honor their warranty and send me another one, or even just mail me the cheaper replacement model as a compromise. They just had to get a 5-star review out of the whole deal.

I put all this into a review and it was promptly deleted by Amazon.

At this point, I consider 4-star reviews the new 1-star.

I have a few more stories like this from the last year or so. I used to be a very vocal supporter of them, but I'm increasingly developing a visceral hatred for them.
They do specifically mention that some fixes may come to RHEL first.

I'm sure they'll try not to break binary compatibility, but as it appears to be somewhat experimental and targeted to developers, breaking updates may occur. Isn't that the point of this distro -- so such testing can take place before updates are rolled into RHEL?

So, fine for a developer workstation, but I don't see how it can be stable enough to use in production.
More customizability, benefit from the open core model, an easier on-ramp to try out and get used to the product.

> Underlying technology aside, mercurial has (I think) quite objectively better cli interface.

I disagree. The fact that mercurial relied extensively on extensions to implent basic features, thus exposing a non-standard interface to the world, made it's mental load significantly higher than simply using a standardized (albeit debatable) interface to do standard things.

Case in point: requiring installing extensions to stash local changes.

Uninformed consent is not consent. You should take a workshop.

>but being on the receiving end of consensual "abuse"/disrespect etc in a sexual context is something loads of people are actually into.

There is a difference between being "in" to fetishes, or being "in" to the trust play surrounding something like rape fantasy.

But that's not what is happening in these videos. These people are acting like they're "in" to these things when they're not, but still having to experience the act involved. It's not simulated.

Tom Cruise isn't really getting shot in Mission Impossible. In many of the videos on pornhub, the women really are being coerced into performing sexual acts that they don't want to.

And that isn't even the point I'm making. In some (many) cases, these women are being literally raped, and then pornhub, and their employees, are profiting off of people enjoying seeing them be abused. Read some of the accounts from "girls do porn", or like I said above, watch the "hot girls wanted" docu.

It is, but to the managers in charge of this part of the organization, they probably want to keep their options and not be cornered by bad PR.
There is some strong academic debate as to whether it is "normalized" and in what contexts. Contrary to popular belief and anti-porn activists, porn is not getting more violent, and, in general, people aren't either. Longitudinal studies have failed to verify the results found in lab settings (though there are methodological problems on all sides and questionable assumptions).

On the other hand, I also think that talking only about consent is missing the point of the criticism - that porn shapes desires as much as it satisfies them, and it can create new desires and fetishes. It's not at all unreasonable to suppose that there would be fewer people interested in degradation and humiliation (fetishes consistently associated with lower than normal empathy in the available research) if porn hadn't fed into that desire.

Whether it should be socially acceptable to participate in a market which creates people (typically women) who find erotic pleasure in their own subservience and subordination is a valid point to raise.

The solution, if that concern does motivate you, may lie outside of regulatory measures - regulation on sexually explicit materials tends to harm those at the margins first.
What I don't get is if the intent of the law was truly to make non-essential data collection "opt-in"... why even bother with all of this instead of just banning it properly? Was there really a concern from people that they wouldn't be able to opt into being tracked by 3rd parties they aren't engaged with?
I saw the Fravor interview with Joe Rogan. Lex Fridman interviewed him as well and that was pretty detailed. Its an interesting case as you had radar data(unsure if that was released) along with pilot eyewitnesses from both Fravor and the other fighter jet pilot that saw it. What Fravor said about the craft was if it was US based why have it be in an active area where fighter jets are training(this could lead to collisions etc).

HURD and Emacs have RMS as their BDFL, and both are niche products at best. Emacs at least works pretty well (I use it almost every day) but HURD is a joke. Emacs is a great editor but is dwarfed in usage by vim and vscode.

In a merge without conflicts (for example you edit one file and your friend edit another) a merge could be explained as simply pasting one folder into the other, but then you need to be careful to override only one of the two files.

Merging folders is not easy if you don't know what changed, but if you do know because your friend told you 'I simply modified this file' then you know how to merge them. But this information is a diff.

In this particular example you need the new folder and the what changed information. That's what I was referring to.

Rebasing...is far more advanced to explain, yes.

Edit: or you can paste your folder into theirs, but still you need to know what you changed, your diff, so it's the same.
> Senators get about $200,000 and the president gets about $400,000.

That's a heck of a lot of money for the vast majority of people.

If that's the real issue, then we're attracting the wrong kind of people to those jobs. Let them stay at the hedge fund instead, do hopefully more limited damage there.

> You get what you pay for.

No, not always. And it's precisely this narrow vision, this absolutization of money that's one of the major causes of the woeful state of the world nowadays.

People in government ought to be focused on doing what's good for the nation, first and foremost. If they go "well, $200k isn't enough for me to do this job", kick them out. That's precisely the wrong kind of person for the job.

I think actually the oodles of money being pumped into politics these days are responsible for drawing some awful characters to it. Remove that motivation, and perhaps you'll have people with very different goals running the show.

You get what you, collectively, value and believe in. America believes in money above all. Well, yeah, then the piles of cash end up ruling supreme. Good luck fixing that mess.

DLSS is game-changingly brilliant if it continues to improve.

"DLSS is just [an approximation]" is a common comment, but it's bollocks because everything in a modern game engine is an approximation to some underlying phenomenon. Even raytracing is basically a bunch of noise to our eyes before the magic makes it viewable.

Is it perfect? Of course not, but being able to fake detail that our eyes don't take issue with could be enormously helpful to smaller game studios who can't achieve the same results - I'm specifically thinking of flight simulators which often don't run very well, where 60% of the pixels on the screens are effectively filler (Terrain, Clouds etc.)
This is almost certainly just a funny and unfortunate coincidence. The malicious binary was signed, you can't do that with just FTP upload access. The code looks to be injected at build time according to this report by reversing labs: https://blog.reversinglabs.com/blog/sunburst-the-next-level-...

'Signing occurred within a minute of library compilation. That leaves no time for the attackers to be able to monitor the build system, replace the binary and change the metadata to match this perfectly. The simplest way for all these timestamp artifacts to align perfectly is to have the attackers’ code injected directly into the source, and then have the existing build and signing system perform the compilation and release processes as defined by the Orion software developers.'

Recently I’ve had nothing but bad experiences with Stripe live chat.
Several times agents didn’t understand English well enough to process the specifics of my issue, so they gave canned generic replies.
Other times they weren’t familiar with Stripe’s own UI (I’m not talking some little-known API- I’m saying the Stripe Checkout config Dashboard).
I learned to stop wasting time hoping to get a live chat agent who works at Stripe (rather than what appears to be an outsourced VA engaged for quick replies on live chat in my timezone), and instead ask questions on Stripe’s IRC support channel.
Future losses are included in the 100%. My assumption is 100% of lifetime salary. One can easily blow past that with a large family.

While I enjoyed your sarcasm it doesn't help answer the question. CentOS did't do their own backporting of fixes, nor development. They take SRPMs from RHEL and do "s/RHEL/CentOS/" on them and then build the SRPMS into RPMs which get published.

Not saying all of the above is trivial but I'd think the code to do it literally exists and is itself open source.
