I’d like something like:

- git revert {rev} to nuke changes and go back to how the world was

- git uncommit to return to the state literally before git commit

- git unstage to unstage a file

The latter arguably should go with git stage but it’s a bit late for that. NB git add and git rm are totally not inverse operations...

So then I can uncommit, and unstage if need be. Reverting is for discarding changes, and should come with an interactive confirmation prompt and other safety and hygiene messages.

I wouldn't contrast it with machine learning or deep learning. Probabilistic programming is focused on building languages or libraries that incorporate fundamental probabilistic building blocks, model building statements and inference strategies as first class citizens within the language. Its been remarkably successful, check out Stan, Pyro, PyMC, Tensorflow Probability, JAGS, BUGS and Turing as very successful projects that have been used to tackle challenging and diverse problems with probabilistic modeling . The more modern probabilistic programming languages are actually designed to incorporate the advances of deep learning by making it easy to embed ANNs into models by using them to parameterize random variables, Pyro and Tensorflow Probability are probably the best examples of this.

I'm trying to have a factually correct and thoughtful conversation. My talking points are not bullshit. They are not obfuscating "it". In fact, it's an important part of the conversation - showing that "both sides" should come together to support reforms that are universally protective. The root cause is not one side or the other. The root cause is insufficient oversight and a broken system.
Fair enough. There is another theory that basically says that you get interested in what you are good at. The feeling of mastery gives you the motivation to get even better. That seems to be a better fit for my experience. But of course YMMV.

Indeed - I hunt red deer, and the most useful meat is the back legs and back straps (muscles running along the spine) - the front legs and neck etc. are typically only used for mincing.

Even then the cuts in the back legs vary in usefulness.

And venison is notoriously lean, hence a lot of methods of cooking it involve larding to prevent it ending up a dry lump of chewiness.

Your examples refer to government not being able to prohibit the exercise of free speech.

Yet, you're using that example to try to justify forcing specific private companies and organizations to provide services to a specific political group, against their own will and even terms of service, just because it's convenient to the political group and it suits their political goals.

This line of reasoning also sounds very hypocritical given that said political group has been advocating for the right of said private companies and organizations to deny service based on political views, and going as far as publicly praising the companies that enforce that blend of politically-motivated denial of service.

This is probably the main reason I tend to purchase my favorite music as vinyl. It is one of the few formats that is unencumbered by major patents, hardware requirements for the most basic listening, and roadblocks on the decryption/decoding side. If I want to hear a record in the most dire of circumstances, I can manually spin it with my hands and use a needle and paper sheet shaped into a cone. The record is, itself, a visual waveform representation of the music in one of its most straightforward forms.

The power can be out, no batteries around, no computer in sight, and I can still handcrank my music on a portable set. And I own it, DRM-free.

And, as mentioned above, most records now come with a code for a digital copy of the album. Best of both worlds.
Can he accurately predict the accuracy of his predictions? I think that's an important factor.

That said, you're right, but I was not focused on him, but on the bias that can be produced in other people when reading things like this.

Though to be honest, I even worry that I have this bias as well. Like because I researched something, yet pretty inconclusive, I feel somehow better equipped to bet on it, and yet I have no idea if at that point I'm doing better than random.
I didn't realize there were actual white nationalists on this site - that's what I get for not looking at comment histories.

I know I'm not going to convince you - but for others who aren't radicalized, I'll spell it out - the idea of a white ethnostate is a hateful, racist one. Promoting that idea means you're hateful and racist. Do not read American Renaissance.

Amren posts articles like this: https://www.amren.com/news/2008/08/race_and_psycho/ that the core argument is that we should kick blacks and Hispanics out of society because they're stupider than white people.

note that these are not exclusive. you could divide ML into a traditional statistical approach and a probabilistic one that is concerned with deriving the underlying probability distribution. probabilistic programming is kind of like a domain specific language for achieving this. there is also differential programming that works on the same principle. there are certainly industrial usages of this paradigm. look up pyro (http://pyro.ai/examples/intro_part_i.html) for ppl and jax (https://github.com/google/jax) for differential programming

I wish Emacs would let go of its "It's Free GNU, baby!"-past and instead focus more on user adoption and innovation.

> > My point of view is: let everybody say whatever they want. Doesn't get more unbiased than that.

>That assumes the individual’s right to speak is greater than the community’s right to shut them up, and is therefore biased in favour of the individual.

I completely disagree. The individual's right to speak is greater (at least in the US) than the government's right to shut them up.

However, other individuals (or a group of individuals, such as a corporation like F-Droid) have the same right to speak, as well as the right to control the speech on their private property.

There is an important distinction there. From a legal standpoint, the government are restricted from (except in very narrow circumstances) limiting an individual's speech.

However, private actors have no such restrictions on their private property.

a "community" of individuals can absolutely express their dislike/dissatisfaction with the speech of others by banning them from their private property.

It's only the government that's restricted from doing so.

I'm using GNOME on Wayland and pressing the "Print Screen" key takes a screenshot so I'm not really sure what you're talking about, it would help if you could clarify.

My experience developing screenshot/screencast/webcam applications on Wayland has been significantly better than it has been on X11. Using X11 APIs for those things is somewhat of a misuse and breaks in corner cases, as those APIs are only really safe to use by the window manager. Extending X11 is also a bad idea because that's just more things that have to get plumbed through Wayland/the X server/toolkits/libraries. Pipewire really makes it easy to use and convenient, you just use that and then you don't have to worry about messing with the lower levels of the stack.

If you don't think KDE or GNOME are good then we have not much to talk about, there are no other viable open source desktop platforms on Linux. I certainly don't think they're free of flaws, but they are the best we've got.
You're right, and that's genuine good work by YouTube and spotify. I wonder, though, if that practice has had any ripple effect into recorded mediums such as cds?
Using the redesign while logged out is an abysmal experience, you can't even read all the comments. I get they want users to create an account and engage, but putting content behind a login screen as an incentive is lame.

It is one thing to say that you are not convinced by his arguments, but it’s pretty clear that he directly questions our conception of financial markets, markets more broadly, and our definition of “economy” that are key components of capitalism.

In fact, he challenges it so directly that you confuse his intentional materialist characterization of finance as a misunderstanding. Mostly, I think this is a result of our ideology being so pervasive under capitalism that we are accustomed to describing our artificial economic structures as borderline laws of physics. Graeber here is simply trying to insert a wedge into that line of thinking, not propose an entire alternative socioeconomic process.

It’s a bug report, not a pull request.
Paintmakers (plural)? Or paintmaker (singular)? Was this a proactively written article or a quick rehash of a press release? It mentions a single paint manufacturer. One.

No doubt there are supply chain issues. Apparently there are journalism integrity issues as well. Yeah, it feels innoscent. But lazy and journalism are two words that do not belong together. Ever.
I wish it gets to that point. A country that doesn’t manufacture is a huge loser in the long run. I hope it comes back to America in a heavily automated, sustainable fashion.
Well, Blender has quite a lot of nested menus and semi-hidden features. It was, in fact, the first popular free/libre desktop application to gain command search. GIMP followed suit years ago, now there's an avalanche of applications joining in: Olive, Inkscape, Krita (still in a branch, AFAIK), LibreOffice etc.

It's possible to move some of the nested menus into the main window. But as soon as you go anywere near filters, all hell breaks loose :)
We'd need a compelling reason to do a major surgery like that. It's possible to imagine scenarios, so it's great to have the option, but I think it would be a mistake to exercise it just-because. I say that for at least two reasons: (1) users hate change; and (2) the feedback loops between HN and YC are vital to both, so it would be bad to weaken them.
More CO2 is generally good for photosynthesis. Higher temperatures are generally bad for photosynthesis. Which dominates depends on a lot of factors including base temperature, C3 versus C4 photosynthesis, etc. And then there's the changes in rainfall.

Personally I wouldn't be particularly surprised if the first .5 C of global warming was a net benefit for humanity. I'd be pretty surprised if the second was, though, and very very* surprised if the third was. And that's just what takes us to our current target for limiting warming.
It sounds silly, but I find it extremely comforting to know I can play back my vinyl using entirely mechanical components.

I don't expect the world to forget how to decode mp3s, or even loose the ability to generate electric to power my computers/storage to retrieve it. But, in the event all technology collapsing I've got a vibration trapped in a piece of vinyl, and I can play back by scraping a nail over it. There's something quite beautifully "pure" or simple about this. As much as analogue audio tape is doing similar, vinyl is a physical waveform.

Sure, in any world where this could happen there's going to be far more important things to worry about than playing back Paul Simon, but it seems easier to believe I could build a gramophone from first principals than a CD player. Comforting.
I have a lot of vinyl. The consumption of space in my house is a significant problem. The CDs are much less of a problem, and streaming/mp3s are no problem at all.
Looks like it's CL-inspired so kinda like subset.
No, your appeal is to the "cult of science." Science is a moving target. Hydraulics involves materials known as hydraulic fluid. Material science is in its infancy. Your appeal is nothing more than to pessimism and the edifice of cocksure.

I mistook the details above. The other works they were bribed into releasing code for were still violating licenses, but from different license holders.

> "The outcome of this is that we've gained access to large bodies of source code that would otherwise have been kept by companies. The SFC have successfully used Busybox to force the source release of many vendor kernels, ensuring that users have the freedoms that the copyright holders granted to them"

Unreliable, and a shocking resource hog. Did that part ever get better, or did we just stop caring because memory sizes and core counts kept going op?
Nobody argues with that. Just don't call yourself tolerant if you fight Taliban for their views. It's perfectly normal to NOT be tolerant, but simultaneously claiming to be tolerant is hypocrisy.
And yet the newly released album I just bought has plenty of dynamic range on the vinyl and heavily clipped FLAC downloads.
>"It should never be legal to force someone to give up passwords or otherwise aid in their own prosecution. "

The same ideological rubbish keeps many of us from advocating that people with ridiculous opinions like yours be shot on the street. I think that without this ideological rubbish we'd live in a rather more grim world.
I think this is a fundamental philosophical difference that we're not going to resolve in a comment thread. For me "a company is its workforce" is almost tautological, I don't even know how to explain it further. I don't know how to argue with your objections either, it seems like you're agreeing. Founders are people, processes are designed by people, risks are taken by people. All these people make up the workforce. That's what a company is.
People have been doing this for a while now; in their tombstones. I live next to a cemetery, sometimes I go there and read some. Most are written by grieving families - a couple phrases and that's it. The ones written by their occupants are invariably the most interesting ones.

You could even make it a bit of a puzzle: "There is a secret message in your great grandparent's tomb, but only visible during the Summer Solstice, on sunset". It would require some math and some careful placement, and durable materials. It could be a nice activity for your offspring.
"What I also learned is I don’t care about configuring my desktop and rather spend time hacking on Web Application code."

This is fair, and it's a selling point for Windows and OSX. I also dislike having to tinker more than necessary. As long as you're on the happy path, those work pretty well for most people. But if you're not on the happy path, it can get real painful real fast.

With linux I'm able to set things like audio (pipewire), foreign language inputs (fcitx), etc exactly how I want it- and that means no desktop environment at all asides from i3. I had a macbook for a while and ended up getting frustrated in certain situations due to lack of freedom to configure things exactly how I want, even if other parts of the OS were more polished.
Sounds like scaling developer power all right.

Reminds me of quotes from Google SRE materials about scaling "SRE per managed server count".
Both of these generally break the TOS of YouTube[0], which means Roku distributing such software could be considered breaking the CFAA and/or helping their customers do so. Besides that, Roku isn't some small OSS project - their previous deal with YouTube likely means Google could revel in having real damages to bring against Roku for lost ad revenue during the entire time the YouTube app was removed and replaced with a version that doesn't show ads or shows less relevant ads.

Yep, definitely. Potential lag time on newly-released hardware can be a major issue if the device vendor doesn't upstream the driver early enough, and/or if the system vendor doesn't provide kernel updates in a timely manner. The optionally more direct channel from device vendor to HW customer can be a big advantage then, or the (maybe?) faster turnaround times of the Windows Update channel (Windows Update seems to do a really good job of addressing the annoying driver hunting and manual updating Windows was plagued with in the past these days).

I've been hit by this as well, when I bought an nVidia card in its launch month years ago and had to fiddle before the drivers became widely available. That said, nVidia is by far the most prominent example for swimming against the tide of the general rhythm of the Linux world and the other GPU vendors do a better job with open sourcing and early upstreaming.

We don't want nationalistic flamewars here, and that's what comments like yours in this thread tend to produce. It's great that it didn't burst into flames in this case, but that just was a lucky break.
