> What's more troubling is that git can't do some very basic stuff well, like merging branches. I mean you can do the merge, but good luck trying to revert it[+] or trying to get git to deal intelligently with non-linear history in general.

IME Git handles non-linear history pretty well. AFAICT any DVCS will inherently have the same problem; you can't necessarily memory-hole the fact that the merge has happened because other people may already have your merge. What are you claiming is the "right" way to handle that case?

> In theory it would be possible to work around that by everyone agreeing on a canonical first commit to start each repo with, but in practice that's of course unlikely to happen.

I believe there is a known commit hash that's there in the datamodel. So it would be possible to treat this as NIL with just changes an the UI level. I agree it's a deficiency, though I don't think it's the most important problem with git (the huge inconsistencies around the staging area are much more important IMO).

> Lastly, and not entirely unrelated: many, but no good solutions for sub-repositories.

I don't think a good solution is possible, personally. The repository is the unit of history, branching, tagging and so on, and that makes for a nice model that I don't want to change. If you have multiple repositories, it's better to deal with them as such.
BBC Micro Live First Episode (1984, Video)
Well I must be biased, because at my last job, at least 80% of the programmers were really creative and brilliant people who were also highly skilled artists and musicians, lol. Perhaps I was just surrounded by extremely wonderful people :)
ARD is a union of nine independent regional public broadcasters + DW. None of these ten has anywhere near the budget of the BBC.
This is duplication: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25507942
Dude, I’m from Michigan. It’s getting expensive there fast. If you think you’re immune to what is happening everywhere else you are in for a rude awakening.

Before my wife and I left in 2014 or so we looked at a decent bungalow in Kalamazoo for roughly 40,000. Now you can’t find a house in that neighborhood for under 150k- and it will be a dump.

I bought a house there around a year ago before deciding it wasn’t a good fit and I still made like 15k after 10 months. It’s insane.

Mind you a good job in Kalamazoo pays 60-80k tops? Sure remote work is a thing but it’s a leash.

Traverse City or Ann Arbor are bordering on Portland prices and there are limited job prospects in either place relative to Portland.

This would’ve been unacceptable to our parents but they’re making a killing off of their investments so they don’t give a shit.

I don’t know what is happening but housing is getting expensive everywhere and fast.
How can I master a skill, and why is it important for someone to learn a skill?
BBC is a
“union” of different broadcasts, too. You can tune into ARD the same way you can tune into BBC. Then you can switch the channel to BBC2 or NDR.

BBC has a more centralized structure, ARD is still the most expensive public broadcaster in the world.
Somethings are never meant to be invented. The story of BlockEvent
I do not know if it's available on iOS (I suspect no) but on Android I am a really happy user of Osmand. It uses Openstreetmap as maps provider and I always use it when hiking. It gives you the altitude profile of your route which is very useful.

You've not understood the depth of the original comment's thinking.
where is it used? what kind of data is stored in it?
If you had problems with retina screens a couple of years ago, that was probably due to the drivers for the MBP GPU, not due to monitor resolution or due to Linux.

There are more than 5 years since I do not use monitors with less than 4k resolution with Linux and I never had any problems with correct scaling or with anything else.

While the NVIDIA drivers are not open-source, nevertheless they usually have the best Linux support and they have no problems with multiple high-resolution monitors. However, Apple does not use NVIDIA, so that increases the chances for problems on Linux.

For the smaller MBPs, with Intel Iris GPUs, the GPU drivers should also have been OK, even a couple of years ago.

The greatest chances of problems would have been on MBPs with AMD GPUs. Nevertheless, the AMD drivers have been improving during the last years, so today there should be better chances that they would work OK.

Agreed. I didn't know what was wrong with them at a first glance but now I see it.

They look more like the icons from a phone from 2004, like a Motorola or Symbian OS.

Still love XFCE.
I think it's a hobby the same way sim gaming is: a small hit of dopeamine for a micro-optimization and exercising control of one's life.
Boot camp is different, though, since the installars are aware of that partitioning case.

Research says you might have more success with a "because" in there like "No, but you can give me a discount if you want because would appreciate to pay less."
They could have done it 10-15 years ago, and Youtube and YouPorn would have not skyrocketed. (it's well known that their initial growth was mostly due to illegal videos being uploaded by users).
Believing that americans should have freedom is not a politically neutral position.

Y'all literally fought a war over that very question back in the 1700s.

Hell, is there any question less political than to what extent individual freedoms should be trumped by the state and the collective "good"? That, in its various forms, is the fundamental political question from which all other political questions follow.
It is perfectly in line with open source philosophy to be able to fork a project and have control over my fork. Especially given 2 where they have different goals from upstream.
Looking back with the benefit of perspective, it’s amazing (and sad) how much power I gave those types of projections. I don’t recall thinking through those projections with such clarity. And maybe if I had, I would have given up that self destructive trait far earlier than I did.

On the other hand, I might be giving young me too much credit. I was stubborn as hell and had a lot of other shit to get rid of too! Aging is a hell of a process and I highly recommend it!! :)
Complaining to Stripe is the best option. Most of their business is based on Stripe Connect. If they ban Baremetrics from the Stripe it will lose their business.

Does clean living and healthy lifestyle help much with malaria and starvation?
>That's the same thing

I disagree. You can enforce behavioral restrictions without reducing it to us vs them. It is about order and maintaining good relations. In the case of people disrupting your conference, you can have them removed for their behavior without resorting to name calling and framing it like you're "fighting fascists". It's like policing. If you reduce it to "catching bad guys", you won't get good police.
as a business owner I wouldn't want a job switcher or how it's this called in English. When we hire we want something long term, not someone who is prepared to leave next year. You don't get the 20% rise, but you get stability, comfort, possibility to advance to a better role (maybe leadership position), better CV, etc
PCEX Member Introduces Multiple Weekly and Monthly Futures Contract
Sorry but again this is one of those "V can do X (except when it doesn't and i get to define what that means)".

I don't want to be a hater and I'm genuinely impressed by the project. But it's honestly very hard to trust anything about this when all kinds of claims pop up, always with a big caveat at the end, usually after being questioned in forums and not in the official documentation.

What happens today if i don't pass in -autofree? If it was working it would be enabled right? And if it's not working, then how do i code without it? Sure, the language has a 0.x-version number but it's not exactly being advertised as something that is incomplete unless i dig very deep into documentation or twitter-threads. Some kind of roadmap of promised/planned/delivered features would greatly improve the confidence in this being not vaporware.
Doesn't the presence of repeat players on the company side (VCs, advisors, attorneys) mitigate this? Any company that is on the cusp of going public — especially these days, where that happens so much later — would have a lot of repeat players on their side.
If you're already 75 years old your life expectancy is roughly another 10 years (COVID deaths skew to the 70+ age bracket). So I'd expect the "deficit" in deaths to be spread out over at least 5-10 years. This might not be easily resolvable above typical year to year background fluctuations.
TFA says up front:

> I haven’t tried everything on this list, mainly due to cost. But you’d be surprised how cheap most of the things on this list are (especially the free ones).
They don't. See links above.
It also makes you dependent on other people. Finding the right people and matching schedules has a cost.

I can repair my motorcycle any day I choose. Delivering my motorcycle to a mechanic during office hours has a cost. Finding a good mechanic has a cost.

I also find that eating at restaurants is more time-consuming than cooking at home. I have to go there, order and wait, then head back home after.

Not sure since when undiscoverable command line interfaces are simple. Simple to make, yes, but not easy to use compared to the most basic visual solution where its creator put a lot of thought.

This is a great thing because in places like in Spain the fee is not present, is is paid by taxes, and as a result, the Government controls it.

So instead of serving the nation, radio and TV becomes the servant of local and presidential powers.

This is not fun at all, this is dangerous, as the media is used mainly for propaganda.

In Spain everybody pays TV3 that sponsors secessionism and RTVE that does promote socialism-comunism because those in charge are secessionist or socialist communist.

This year RTVE's budget has increased 25%. For communists propaganda is essential.
I spent to much time trying to figure out if it was a new framework, LOL
This is also about the ways to do it, and their potential effects. In order to "control" malaria (see "youeseh" answer here) some dispersed tons of DDT. I, for one, sure prefer to tackle mosquitoes than to see "good samaritans" put such products everywhere near me, without my consent (even if they do so while chanting "this is for your own good".)
If the examples set by our leaders were irrelevant or inconsequential, we wouldn't need leaders at all, only managers.
This should be a default at the language level, not require tooling to filter out verbose noise.

Apart from the principle of the language being not dependent on external tools, on practical terms: if you get a stacktrace in a production log, or on a terminal, you don't have that tooling available, for example.

This is precisely what mistersys was denouncing. This is an objective issue, that pushes newbies away, that consistently gets discussed in the annual survey, in HN, and in basically every conversation about clojure. Spec has improved somewhat the error messages, but still core functions are not specced officially, and still the error messages are hugely verbose and expose implementation details that should not be visible. We should at least acknowledge it instead of pretending it's solved, or not an issue due to tooling workarounds.

On your point about seeing the clojure.core stacktrace: the implementation of a core function shouldn't be something that you need to inspect to know how it's working, that should be clear from the public interface. That's part of the clojure philosophy, have small functions that are obvious and compose easily in your head, so you understand every piece easily. In any case, I've been using clojure on all my side project for about 8 years now and I've never had to do what you discuss, could you give an example of when would you need this?

There's only a handful companies out there who might be doing that, namely Google, Facebook and a few others. No other company is at the scale to meaningfully affect the market.
I've been using whitelisting techniques for almost a decade now and it's made my online experience massively better than the average person's. Firefox + NoScript + uBlock Origin, and default deny everything. Then simply whitelist what is strictly required to get sites you care about to work. You can combine this to great effect as well with using similar policies for your system firewall. I run a local firewall on all of my devices and default deny all inbound and outbound traffic, whitelisting only specific ports (and in some cases IPs), and layer an application firewall on top of that to only allow specific applications to make calls on specific portions to specific endpoints.

The combination results in a situation in which I have control as a user over what my computer is doing, and I can interact with online services without being in complete submission to the current heinous model. It's not perfect, and it doesn't make you impossible to track or anything of the sort. But it definitely cuts down on the crap you deal with and drastically reduces your risks of being infected by malicious software.
For the sake of your business you need a buffer between you and the world.

Maybe there are some social reasons for that. You've definitely lost face here.
I wish openstreetmap used elevation data for hiking.
Say I want to climb to a hill back, it should calculate distance w.r.t elevation.

Right now it assumes a straight line be it on a road or up and down a mountain.

HomePod Mini Review after one month
I also use Osmand, though when I compared it to Maps.me, loading a map was significantly slower in Osmand
Your time is only worth money if you’d otherwise be working. You can’t just say, well, I make $100/hr so I will outsource any task I can that costs less!

I make a salary, not hourly, so it really doesn’t make sense for me to hire someone to do a task I can do myself. Just tossing $$$ away.
Now consider the lead politics hypothesis. If lead exposure lead to brain damage that resulted in the murder rate tripling, what is that doing to civic politics? Because while that generation has mostly aged out of the higher crime demographic. It's smack in the middle of the voter demographic.
Most of the hiking maps are simply not even on Google maps. Only in OSM
I'm an adult male and if it weren't for the corporate soul sucking 9-5 job eating away most of my time and energy I'd still engage in stupid shit just for mating.

I think males are biologically programed to stay in heat way longer than females, at least until the first baby is born, just that modern society has figured how to tame us by placing us in a financial rat race where it all about chasing material things, hobbies and lifestyles or the next big career rather than the next potential partner.

As a kid I never really understood the point Fight Club was trying to make but as an adult, I do now.
The other point that no one seems to be bringing up is that cheating on an introductory calculus test is a nonsensical thing to do. These aren't MBA students, they're engineering students, right? Everything in a technical math curriculum builds on what came before. If you have to start cheating that early, the only rational thing to do is to admit you're not in the right program and drop out gracefully.

Academic ethics aside, cheating at this level is just plain bad judgment. No one who has to cheat in Calc I is going to get through Calc II without having to do the same thing, over and over.
I believe you as a family have good capacity for founding the company, by making some good tech product or a game. And many foundations would finance it for sure.

As you said your son likes Lego and based on his skills, I believe there are a lot of good ideas to make some game or product that would satisfy Lego fans (I’m also a big fan of Lego). Here is one idea that maybe could be interesting and I would pay for it: if you remember the game ‘Gearhead garage’ (http://www.gearheadgarage.com/), I would be happy to get some famous Lego packs (like Batman 1989) which has some mistakes and then virtually fix these mistakes to finish the Lego set. Also, it could be a game where I’m just solving Lego sets virtually.

As you receive Social Security checks, and based on skills you have as a family, I believe you can create some amazing product. I would be happy to help with marketing. And I would be happy to see updates on this.
Which is fair, but you're also missing the entire reason as to why I'm switching. As an employee, I want to work for a company where I can keep growing, and where my skills and salary is fairly evaluated over time. I don't want to work for a company where my only salary increase is a yearly 1% one, or where my only chance to get a promotion is once a year. If I need to switch a company to get both, then I'll definitely do that.

Things like this are a two way street, yet companies often don't treat it as such.

EDIT: Because you've changed your answer after I typed my response. Some people might be okay with having to stay 10+ years in a company to finally get that role they wanted. I'm not, if I think I deserve better, I'll ask my company for it, if they tell me that maybe in 5 years I can get a better thing, then I rather switch jobs now instead of holding myself back.
This seems like just another way of saying we don’t understand life scientifically yet.

When we do finally agree on a mathematically rigorous definition of life, it will seem obvious in retrospect and scientists will kick philosophers off the field, just like they did with previous subjects like the composition of matter, the movement of heavenly bodies, etc.

Every scientific topic has to go through a messy definition phase before its study can be properly organized. People studied heat and cold for a long time before they really knew what they were, for example.
Sounds fair, though you should be able to `git rebase --abort` when you get into that mode so it's not a huge deal. (I'm not 100% sure since I almost never use `git pull`; I almost always `git fetch`.)

I can see how a "rebase with auto-abort" would be helpful in some situations, though.
Even if they stopped normal users from committing it would still be adhering to open source philosophy.
I think we've all had a version of the

"Wait, I'm an adult, I can eat ice cream for dinner if I want to"

as well as the

"I guess I'm an adult, because I don't want to eat ice cream for dinner"
>A million articles about not using tables for layout, and it took 20+ years to get a grid<

To be fair, CSS 2.0 (from 1998) has “display: table” which allows table layout in pure CSS. [1] The problem was not CSS. The problem was Internet Explorer 6; “display: table” was not viable to use until the early 2010s when IE6 usage finally plunged.

[1] Edit: CSS was designed for styled documents, such as online resumes or blogs. It was not designed to make interactive apps, which is why it doesn’t fit that paradigm well. Everyone thought Java applets would run the interactive web, and we would be making web applications in Java today if Microsoft had not killed Java on the web in the late 1990s with IE.
The maps are from OpenStreetMaps, so that's not really a problem.

The bigger issues are likely going to the infrastructure for converting from the OSM format to the maps.me vector format, and hosting the download servers.
Lol. I made something similar: gihub.com/sloev/cccp

Hmm, interesting. They must know that I (we) are not using this, because I didn't even know this feature exists and our customers are happy getting sent Stripe invoices.
I thought the same... 'Let's make sure the maps we know and love' gets remade by me and you guys come to my version because I won't give the repo code url.
I think this is true. I'm not an engineer anymore, and I more or less have the whole day free. Time became much cheaper, and that changed my habits.
Curious here. Advantages of XFCE over KDE or Gnome. I use KDE. I need to know from a regular user. VM is not enough.
Ransomware, hacking, etc. should be counted in those numbers to compare. I'll bet that it is way more lucrative and way easier to get a big payout today than when you had to go there with a gun.
It is on iOS, though it usually lags the Android version.
Mentally ill thrown out on the streets, and scarcity of housing are the major factors.

For hiking, check out https://en.mapy.cz/turisticka. While it focuses on central Europe, it regularly imports OSM data worldwide and I found the coverage pretty good.
You'd be right if I had not given arguments for my statement. I did as a matter of fact.
> Also describing strays as living successfully on their own is absurd. Sure some haven’t starved to death or been crippled by random acts of violence by humans.

In some parts of the world, unowned dogs seem to flourish; for example India has more than 30 million street dogs. However this is not a good thing, since dog on human violence happens too, and 20,000 people in India die of rabies every year. Street dogs are well known for attacking people, so even if the dogs can survive on their own it's still irresponsible to allow that.
Hey probably is the worst example for this approach, even though it works and it's impressive what they were able to achieve. It should be much better for most website out there that aren't trying to be a low latency app you run 24 hours a day.
“OpenStreetMap” is just a dataset. Whether the app/site you’re using to do routing includes elevation in its calculations is up to that site, and plenty do. Even the routing options on openstreetmap.org are third party services.
