Here are some recommendations:

SourceTree: https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/

Windows and Mac. Free. Feels sluggish, but is also really dependable, the graph view is lovely and it covers most of the common things that you want to do - also, staging/discarding chunks or even individual lines of code is lovely. Oh, and the Git LFS integration, and creating patches is also really easy. And it gives you the underlying Git commands it uses, in case you care about that.

GitKraken: https://www.gitkraken.com/

Windows, Mac and Linux. May need commercial license. Feels like a step up from SourceTree, but i find that using this for commercial needs is a no go. If that's not an issue, however, it has a good UI, is nice to work with and just generally doesn't have anything i'd object to. IIRC it saved my hide years back by letting me do a ctrl+z for a repo after accidentally forcing to the wrong remote, so that i could fix what i had done (memory might fail me, was years ago), just generally feels intuitive like that.

Git Cola: https://git-cola.github.io/

Windows, Mac and Linux. Free and open source. Perhaps one of the more basic interfaces, but as far as free software goes, it does what it sets out to do, and does it well. I use this on Linux, whenever i want to have that visual feedback about the state of the repo/staging area or just don't feel like using the CLI.

TortoiseGit: https://tortoisegit.org/

Windows only. Free. Recommending this just because you mentioned TortoiseSVN. If you just want a similar workflow, this is perhaps your best option. Honestly, there is definitely some merit to having a nice file system integration, i rather enjoyed that with SVN.

Whatever your IDE has built in: look at your IDE

On any platform that your IDE runs on. Same licensing as your IDE. Some people just shop around for an IDE that they enjoy and then just use whatever VCS workflows that they provide. I'd say that VS Code with some plugins is really nice, though others swear by JetBrains' IDEs, whereas others are fine with even just NetBeans or Eclipse (Java example, you can replace that with Visual Studio or whatever). If you're working within a particular stack/IDE, that's not too bad of an idea.

The CLI: https://git-scm.com/

Windows, Mac and Linux. Free and open source. You'll probably want to know a bit of the CLI anyways, just in case. Personally, i'm still way too used to using a GUI since dealing with branches and change sets just feels like something that's more easy when visual, but the CLI has occasionally helped me out nonetheless.

Actually, here's a useful list of some of the Git GUIs: https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis

For example, did you know that there are some simple GUI tools already built in, git-gui and gitk?
The question is really about *medical insurance*, if anyone(including his/her spouse and children) can buy a reasonable priced health insurance without a big company employer, we can all be our own bosses.

until then, it's more like a gamble if you want to fly alone.
The cheap Chinese stuff has always been there: Banana Pi, Orange Pi, etc. It's an open-source SBC and even with all the other cheaper/higher capacity/faster alternatives available I chose the Raspberry Pi because I believe in the mission.
Arguably the same thing blockchain tech got away from — a primary stakeholder with a "monopoly on violence" (i.e. a government with armed police et al). If you attack the US banking system, they will stop you in quite short order. The FBI doesn't screw around.

If you attack the blockchain, well ... uh ... the owners will ... be really unhappy with you?

Realistically you're only in trouble for doing that if you're pissing off someone else with "the means to violence". If you screw up money laundering operations for a cartel, then what you're likely looking at is acts of violence between two criminal organizations, but if one of them has the upper hand, they can basically act with impunity.

When you're looking at the "small fry" – individual people with their own bitcoin/whatever stakes? They're just fucked. It's true if someone steals your wallet, but it's also true if someone torpedoes the whole system. That's the cardinal problem with all of these blockchain technologies — by deliberately designing the whole thing to disintermediate the authorities; they accomplished exactly that: there are no authorities to deal with systemic problems.
> As with seemingly most things, we are witnessing a reemergence of a system similar to what existed before the American Revolution, the feudalistic, aristocratic, monarchical system where you must show fealty to your vassal lord corporation.

This is not something new, but has always been the case. Capitalism is the 2nd iteration of feudalism. When the French revolution threw feudalism into jeopardy, the feudal lords - conservatives who sat in the right wing of the French parliament- hoped capitalism would rescue feudalism and help maintain social hierarchies. Democracy is seen as anti feudal and anti capitalist in its genesis, by giving everyone one vote independent of wealth. Earliest proposals for elections were only for Male land owners.

The founding fathers were capitalists for the most part.

This could be solved today with a short application to the Unicode consortium and a few OS updates, so I guess we made progress :)
The thing that i always found puzzling with Qt, Java, etc on Haiku is that if you are going to rely on those instead of taking advantage of Haiku's uniqueness and integrated UI approach, then why not just run Linux with a BeOS-like theme?

Vanced is a mod of the stock YT app, NewPipe is a completely new codebase that doesn't use YT's API.
I submit that Event Sourcing (or at least something very close to it) can be easy, once you've removed some technology locks. I've seen it happen with Datomic (https://vvvvalvalval.github.io/posts/2018-11-12-datomic-even...), but it can probably happen similarly with other tech, such as XTDB (https://xtdb.com/).
Procedural storytelling is exploding the possibilities of video game narratives
I can first-hand confirm it actually works on their network.
They may have tried to open arbitrary mp4s and had Firefox not render it.

Firefox seems to only render MP4 files that use yuv colorspace and aa3 audio channels, which require specific ffmpeg flags during transcoding. It took me a day of grinding whackamole to find the magic set of arguments to make all recent, popular browsers actually display a video:

I work in blockchain company. considering the high volatility and rapid changes I'd say you should probably diversify. avoid shit tokens, buy coins (eg. bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, etc.) and also stocks sound like a better long term investment plan.
Their source is National Review, which is a bastion of mid-to-high-effort, low-quality, bad faith arguments. Point of fact they left out the vote no propaganda handed out at mandatory meetings.
Hughes is latency-bound, not bandwidth bound. For it to take that long, they’d have to try really hard. For instance, the map could issue an http[s] request per frame.
That's probably my default search query for now to avoid all the marketing crap. But if this becomes the norm we will definitely see robots discussing their winter coat preferences.
I'm not saying this isn't going to happen, but I would be surprised if it floats.

Given that the trading arm is there entirely to fund the learning bit, I would be surprised that they would float effectively giving away the profit stream needed to run the education part.
I've pondered this, too. Why not a DMOZ 2.0 type concept, where you seed the index with high quality sites and grow from there. Freshness won't matter as much for most topics, so crawling X times per day probably won't be necessary. Maybe have user defined flags to indicate the types of results they want (large sites, small sites, high authority, technical sites-- maybe different sort by features) with backlinks/domain prominence as a small factor, but also using NLP to determine authoritativeness of said content so as to facilitate less-linked site discovery.
As an RPi fan and user I agree with the concern, but as a small consolation I'd also point out that the companies making those computers in the 80s were also profit-motivated.
The ban was overturned in 2020 by the constitutional court, and this group does work to provide poison to people requesting it. (It's one of multiple groups doing so, so the headline is wrong in that way too)
I did something similar (~2015) but using the kernel NFS client and having multiple mounts to the same volume using different IP addresses.

Using vectored IO and spreading across multiple connections greatly improved throughout. However, metadata operations cannot be parallelized easily without application side changes.

In more modern kernels, NFS supports ‘nconnect’ mount option to open multiple network connections for a single mount. I wonder if the approach of using libnfs for multiple connections is even required.

280 to 400 is not doubling

I guess I was quoting the source in saying the pencil and paper estimate is in line with modern climate models

edit: from a cursory googling, looks like 450ppm is in line with 2C warning while 600pm is the higher end at 4C warning

note also temperature lags behind co2 (since heat is captured cumulatively over time) so even if we stabilized now at ~412ppm we will continue to see warming
I think we should be concerned about both. Use of technology in the suppression of communities, ideas, and other tech uses that harm others in order to keep some given party in power. These are not things I think are beneficial in any way
From the TC article: "A spokesperson for Stripe who was asked whether Stripe and Sequoia discussed its investment in Finix at any point, also declined to comment."

Your comment about Finix seems deliberately crafted to convey you did not speak with Sequoia but at the same time not denying that you spoke (made decision without suggestions).

So to clarify, are you saying that Stripe did not speak with Sequoia about Finix?

Or that Sequoia "made their own decision", while they have spoken with Stripe about Finix?
Yeah, exactly right, we found it was a few iterations before we had the Base Event Schema defined with enough data for every event.

Of course, with all these articles they miss out that you're not supposed to just do Event Sourcing, it's one part of the system, like we mix RDS and object stores depending on the right purpose.
It’s hard to explain. I do get bored, but I think I also have some form of malignant attitude issues that could be coming from depression (I don’t really enjoy anything anymore). It’s really hard to kill boredom in that state without resorting to alcohol (which makes anything fun).

My most favorite thing is feeling sleepy and going to sleep. So yeah, intoxication and sleep are pretty much my go-tos now days.
For many searches like that I use 'tools->all results->verbatim'. Seems to help.

Ask HN: Is Reddit moderation flawed? Any alternative to reduce mod power?
Personally, I'm getting sick and tired of mods on Reddit abusing their powers. I've even come across mods disagreeing withother on bans. Its a pure joke.

Are there alternatives to Reddit that will reduce mod powert? or at very least challenge their decisions? They seems to ban users who do accept their views and it's super boring.
It's one line of override configuration, how is that not trivial?

Edit: Totally granted, figuring out that one line the first time might take 6 hours, but once you know how to do it you're good to go the next time. The documentation could certainly be improved.

I'd say they're not GIFs, they're embedded mini-websites with their own tracking cookies and JS and whatnot. If only they were GIFs.
Well, no -- that's discussed in the article:

> Parker Higgins investigated whether Prince could be honored in unicode with this symbol. (Answer – no, on three counts, as it’s personal, a logo, and protected intellectual property.)
But the BMC would be the #1 item on my list of "things I don't need any more". How do you come up with a scratch legacy-free universe that still includes BMCs?

Sounds like an interesting proposition by integrating directly with existing supermarkets like REWE and Edeka.

Any plans to jump on the < 30 min delivery services, e.g. Gorillas/Getir/Flink/Weezy etc to get me the produce for a meal now?

Neeva is worth looking at. I recently switched to it exclusively for a week and found it as good as Google for 90% of what I do. (FWIW, previous attempts doing this with Bing or DuckDuckGo last about a day before I get so mad I switch back.)

Right now Neeva seems very good at navigational queries, which I do 90% of the time. It's still not as good at deep research queries for obscure things. Probably related: Neeva is relying on Bing for a big chunk of their queries. But they are building their own index.
It was also a product that didn't happen while Tramiel was at Commodore.
Came here to say this. I have noticed this increasingly in the last few weeks, constantly getting 1st page results with the exact-match term struck through and semi-relevant-but-not-really results. Struggling to think of motivation for why this would be. Or is it a byproduct of shifts elsewhere.
Sometimes it feels the less SEO-optimized content there is for a topic, the better the search results are. Privately I de-googled a while ago (exceptions are youtube and youtube music, but then I don't have spotify). Now using DDG, and I don't miss anything. Google is better for picture search by proposing similar ones when clicking on one.
Let's just say for a moment that human-caused climate change is either minimal or even non-existent. At this point, would we even be able to admit that? So much political and scientific capital has been invested here that if we were to find out that maybe it's not what we think it is, it would do catastrophic damage to people's faith in science and institutions. And they are precariously positioned as is.
You would have to deal with that yourself. But it's typically just a variable in the service definition, so it's very easy to override.

FWIW, iOS 15 automatically OCR’s screenshots, so now copy paste works again (even from non-selectable text in apps).

However, most times I have problems with copy paste, it’s not due to gif’s. It’s due to some BS framework thing rendering text in some non-standard way.

Giphy is already integrated in lots of juicy places that Facebook could never get an integration with their current reputation and competitors. A gif embed service, from a business perspective, is a tracking pixel generator.

So Facebook is buying the ability to see who you talk to in android keyboards, slack, discord, etc
The whole point of meritocracy is to give opportunity to those with talent. If you think that is what we need to do, then you are pro meritocracy, that is its main strength. The opposite of meritocracy is nepotism where opportunity goes to the friends and family of those in power.

If you have two world class mathematicians as parents with connections to a network of the world greatest mathematicians, then chance are you will receive world class mathematics education.

If you have the correct gene that confers even higher IQ, then of course, you will do even better.

The idea who your parents are don't matter when selecting purely by ability is a farce. Of course they matter.
> But what if scientists have been wrong about the causes of global warming?

That is extremely unlikely. We can measure the spectrum and intensity of incoming solar energy and of outgoing radiation from Earth, and see that we are gaining. We can see that much of that gain is due to incoming energy heating things which re-radiate that energy in infrared which we can see gets trapped by CO2.

We can tell by looking at the isotope distribution of the C in the CO2 where it comes from. CO2 from still living or recently living (say dead for only a few hundred years) has a different isotope distribution than CO2 from long dead or never living sources. This lets us tell that most of the CO2 increase over the last couple hundred years is from burning fossil fuels or an increase in geological processes that release long trapped CO2 such as volcanic activity.

The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere that we can tell from that did not come from living or recently living things matches fairly well with what we know of volcanic activity and how much fossil fuels we burn, giving us enough data to conclude that most of the warming due to CO2 is due to human emitted CO2.

For that to be wrong would require that we have massively overestimated how much fossil fuels we use and massively overlooked a large amount of volcanic activity.
What Are NFTs? Non Fungible Tokens Explained-Stephen Ajulu
The real two types of recruiters are experienced and inexperienced. Most recruiters have not made a successful placement. It's a sales job and many recruiting firms hire entry level. These are also the recruiters who send the most inmail spam because their "training" is learning on the job. The chances of interacting with a junior third party recruiter is very high.

A very small percentage of third party recruiters stay third party once they have a year or two of experience. If they are any good but don't love sales they go internal (recruiter for an actual company - less pay but far far less stress).

A tiny percentage of recruiters stay as third party recruiters and are actually good. They often built networks from their early inmail spam days when they did get lucky and place someone so they don't send as many inmails now.

You are almost always dealing with near entry level third party recruiters who are learning on the job. That is in large part why dealing with recruiters on average sucks.

This is never going to change but if you are looking for a new job or you are interested in a role a recruiter reaches out to you about you can absolutely ask to speak to a lead or a manager of their team instead of them.

"Hey I know the third party recruiting industry is tough. I am very interested in this position. Do you have a lead or a manager who I can speak with to learn more about this position and how to prepare for the interview?" That is how you get to the person who actually knows what they are doing. The immediate recruiter might make a stink but their manager likely wont. If you are actually a good fit for the job your chances of landing there do go up if they spend time to speak with you and help you prepare. They only get paid if you actually start there.
I want a curated search engine so badly. I feel like some enterprising developer could craft one specifically geared towards developers. Imagine a search that doesn't ignore operators like '?.' and where you can set persistent conditions on every single query without having to type it out. This would help prevent you from needing to type in the language you are searching for in every query.

Oh, and the cherry on top is completely abandoning the idea of Natural Language Processing. Go right back to keywords only.
We’re not yet another chatbot. DailyBot is an automation platform that delivers a chat assistant that you can use for many purposes.

The main difference: privacy and security. Many feature-bots out there do not follow strong security and privacy measures. This is our top priority and we’re working on SOC2-Type2 compliance which will be ready in 2022.

DailyBot is an all-in-one solution, it replaces many other chatbots you might be using today and a) unifies data through a simple web dashboard, b) you pay for only one tool at a great price, c) it’s adaptable & extendable.
When you say he discusses how sums are similar to calculus, does that mean he relates sums to integrals (e.g Riemann sums)? Asking because I'm wondering if there's other connections I haven't been exposed to.

For Christmas, I (an adult) asked my mom to get me a few volumes instead of clothes this year. I'm looking forward to giving them a go like you described.
Something you don't need to think about until well, you realize reactivity leaves templates and you need to write a store. Or that you have large data and need things to only update piecewise. Or you need to hoist things out into functions. Svelte has done an amazing job with its compiler but there are considerations you need to understand with its reactivity.

Solid does not have Hooks or Hook rules. They look similar but execute more similar to say Svelte. Although Svelte still is about Component re-renders and Solid's reactivity is more granular hence the performance improvement.

This area of DSLs is very superficial for the most part. I think people have preferences and I'm exploring both sides between Marko and Solid but saying things like unintuitive I think mischaracterizes things. Maybe explicit, transparent, transferrable, and composable are better adjectives that apply more to Solid than to Svelte that you can use in the future.
I still have a freebie shirt they gave me in like 1994. Who knew it would outlast them
RPi accomplished something really cool, probably got a lot of people into electronics hacking and linux that weren’t before (like me).

There are plenty of competitors making higher and lower end alternatives now at varying degrees of open source, in my opinion the mission has been extremely accomplished for years now.
It absolutely is bad. It's mineral oil with a few random additives thrown in

Please quote properly: I said it's not bad at what it does and 'not bad' does not mean good. Also: if the metric of what's inside is what we'd be using, most of the other products you mention would also be pretty bad :)

For the rest, same as my other reply: I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I somehow agree it's in general a good idea to use WD-40 as chain lube. I still do not, and I don't use it myself as such because the other dedicated options are better. But thanks for listing a bunch of them.
It sounds like that's exactly what happened to the GP.
I won't blame the developers. They'll do what the leadership asks them to do.

I do often see promotion-driven development, which too is an artifact of the challenges from leadership ultimately.
