How do you reconcile this with the fact that the vast majority of git users, both at small and large scales, do not need to do this? Now you have a massive, proprietary to your company, system for committing code that every person that joins the company has to learn and maintain.
Excited to give this a try.
I think any Patreon competitor really needs to have a way for people to get access to bonus content when they pay. Even if the content isn't really worth the money, people are more likely to overpay for something they like than make a donation.
Many years ago, when I was looking for a worthy DVCS successor to Subversion for my single-developer projects (just in case they became multiple-developer projects), I evaluated Git, Bazaar, and Mercurial. I don't really remember what were the deciding factors, but I ended up going with Mercurial. I'm sure usability was a big part of it, since that's a major value for me, and I really didn't like git in that department. I think I also read some things that made me distrust git's handling of data, but don't remember the specifics. git just seems messy in other ways as well. I still wonder to this day whether the wrong DVCS won the popularity contest and became an unfortunate default option for developers.
Kelvin Kiptum Runs 2:00:35 World Record at 2023 Chicago Marathon
I'm not sure I'd describe Moxy, which I generally like and have stayed in both in Europe and the US, that way although I see some commonalities. It overlaps a lot with Marriott's Aloft--which I think was originally a Sheraton brand--(and to a lesser degree Yotel which downsizes rooms to a greater degree). A certain self-conscious hipness, comfortable but somewhat minimalist rooms, and generally welcoming non-stuffy public spaces without restaurants, fitness centers, and other hotel features that I rarely use in an urban hotel.

Agree with respect to consistency although McDonald's tends to be below my baseline if I have any choice in the matter whereas most of the big business hotel chains are pretty much fine for my needs. Most of the time I wouldn't take advantage of what more luxe properties had to offer nor would I use a kitchen (aside from maybe a refrigerator).
Is there something specific about airport security you think could change to make you feel less like you're being treated like a criminal?
The interesting thing is that it that night trains can be quicker if you consider the waking. e.g. Zurich to Berlin - the train leaves at 8pm and gets in at 7am. So it is 2-3 waking hours spent.

(Does of course depend on how well you sleep on trains)
OpenVSP-Connect – automatize aircraft design with OpenVSP and Excel (2020)
There are so many things to dislike about git, but I feel like so much of this post is reaching for cause to be offended.

Sha1 is a hashing function. As a hashing function, it's fine. Why does your identifier need to be cryptographically secure?

I agree with the name and email issues, but laughed at the ideal that a URL is somehow more robust.

Who claims that git is a database?

I agree with the broad strokes, especially having as many conversations as I've had with frustrated people about why their repo is in an unhappy state.
> You are not treated like a criminal before you can board a train.

I have only taken one relatively long distance train in Europe, but they had security checks on par with PreCheck. Bags still went through a scanner and still went through a metal detector.
I'm curious, are you seeing that on cloud instances, or what?

My experience with bare-metal Kubernetes hasn't been that bad. On my home cluster with very underpowered J4105 CPUs, I get about 5% CPU usage on the master node at idle, and 2% on workers.
> You want to benefit off the work of others, and bear zero cost. What if you just built those libraries yourself

No one can do that to any large scale. That is all there is to say about that.

And all my projects are open source. I give back to the community and to science (see below).

> To make you more productive?

There's intent, and then there's reality.

I work in scientific programming, and scientists are absolutely struggling with software development. Not programming, but everything related to package management, version control, distribution, different languages, incompatible ecosystems, etc.

There is complexity in the boundaries of packages, languages, and ecosystems. That is unsolved and no one seems to care about it as long as you can do this cool things with your own language.

Someone's intent could be to make python package management easier. The reality is that having only a few people adopt that can make the entire community suffer.
Yes, sadly the interest from operators has not been very high. :D

I'm not terribly upset though, as I can't continue development at my own leisure, instead of the hectic pace that a very popular one requires.

[edit] Regarding why the software is not present on fedidb, its because the server doesn't provide the full set of information that it requires. The only web-client for FedBOX, a link aggregator, is there however: https://fedidb.org/software/brutalinks
And this is yet again why I'm on the left and not a liberal.

Drug problems are solved by better access to quality health care and not punitive policing

This action commits state resources and funds to snatching people up, so it's not like we can't afford the better way - we're just allocating our people and efforts to ineffective methods.

Chasing around users to lock them in cages for 20 years is way more expensive than actually solving the problem of abuse. The only reason a better way stays impossible is because there's an ideological commitment on the part of mainstream political beliefs to keeping it impossible.
Episodes 1-3 are now streaming with more each week. Some of our favorite people from the product management team.
They've now relaxed their (stupid) policy so at least the default ISO includes non-free drivers.

When it comes to an already installed system, enabling the non-free repos and installing linux-firmware (or more specific firmware-* package for your hardware) should fix it.
That doesn’t make the top posts unfair or valueless.
Scrap the thing entirely and replace it with something that uses intuitive metaphors like "save", "load", "undo", "go back to old version", "update my work with work from colleague", "update the official state with my work" and others. Folders instead of branches. Be 100% language-aware; any merge result has to build obviously.

If this rejects actions and limits possibilities that Git provides, so be it.
Shellcheck clean. But I still want to port it to python.
And its interface makes more sense than Git.
At a fraction of the cost because air travel doesn't pay it's real costs in terms of environmental damage (or even taxes...).
Yes.

Airport security is mostly theatre anyway, it’s massively excessive for extremely low benefit.
Probably because right wingers have been decreasing funding for IRS for a long time, so they don't have enough call center employees.

Personally, last time I needed to call them circa 2016 they were great. I've never had a negative experience phoning IRS.
I recently took the train in Poland from Warsaw to Krakow and Krakow to Vienna and they never checked my ID.
Nice. I borrowed AOSA Volume 2 from a friend a couple of years back.

Too bad the web page performs so poorly on mobile, when two small CSS tweaks would make it fully responsive:

1. Replace `width: 68rem` with `max-width: 68rem` on the body element;

2. Make the flex basis on the table container pixel rather than percentage based.
Why on earth would a single person buy a 490k house? Everyone I know either had roommates, an inheritance, or make enough it’s a trivial expense.

Also don’t forget about the home mortgage tax deduction, that plus inflation really impacts the cost of home ownership.
Employee ownership/performance bonuses. Dramatically changes the incentives. I would act enormously differently if I got 10% of savings I identified.

> I don’t think top of the line Android devices ever were far less capable

I emphasized the relevant part of your statement.

It's the bottom of the line Android devices that fall into the "far less capable" category

Swift doesn't satisfy that criterion either. That's a no true scotsman.
Is Newsome's claim that caste discrimination is already banned based on existing laws against discrimination on race, ethnicity, etc accurate?

Why was anybody pushing for this bill if that's already the case?
> like wtf. is it legal to harass your neighbors with smell and toxic fumes every day

You say harass, I say enhance. I love when I can smell a neighbor burning wood, it's one of the best things in the world. And therein lies the reason why your wish isn't going to come to pass any time soon: we don't all agree that the thing you want to ban is bad.
The shoe thing is an American peculiarity. In Europe I never had to take off my shoes, even when I flew to the US. And now some airports (eg LCY) don’t even require taking liquids and laptops out of the luggage.
No it doesn’t. I think my point was that people budget their carcinogenic exposure in non-optimal, hard to rationalize ways. Like living in places with terrible air quality (California) and then being concerned about gas stoves.
Get rid of half of it. Especially the liquid limits, unnecessary pat downs, shoe removal, etc.
Read the article. It's about people that will retire. Unless you're trying to be facetious and say they'll never retire, which I guess will be true for many.
That's a good question. My wrapper isn't meant to insulate the users from git, it's meant to teach git. It shows every git command it runs and gives the user an easier on-ramp.
I think it's more that he's planning to run for president.

He doesn't care about what's good for California - only what's good for his presidential campaign in 2028.
Copenhagen to Berlin overnight. You go to bed in the train around midnight and wake up in Berlin around 8 or 9. Nothing can be more convenient.
That’s wrong though. Sponsorships that do come with perks low negotiating a mutually beneficial position. A valid take would have been to work out some kind of NRE scheme or contracting scheme.
How Disney Packed Big Emotion into a Little Robot
“Opinion”?
Total outsider to this political landscape but is it possible the law was very badly written that it needed the veto and a statement that's essentially 'go back and fix this'?

I feel like this thread is so full of disillusionment of politics that there's zero trust. Which I get but how would a well intentioned politician avoid this suspicion of corruption?
I love this talk for a lot of reasons. Mostly because it crystalizes a lot of feelings I have been having about "Open Source" as a general concept. His conclusion that Open Source is for big companies and not small developers is a really compelling conclusion (IMO). The fact that a lot of open source projects support massive corporate rent-seeking (directly or indirectly) is a great example.

My spiciest take for 2023 is that the development community is going to start waking up to the realities of asymmetry between the kind of open source models made possible by the largess of massive billion dollar corporations and the kind of open source made possible by individual developers working on passion projects.

It probably helps that I am aligned with what Evan is saying in some meta sense. We really need to zoom out from the viewpoint of being the benefactors of seemingly "open" projects like Chrome. I even see in these comments some pot-shots at the Elm community and leadership for being extremely protective of their project when faced with unwanted and undesirable intrusions.

It is also interesting that this comes not long after I ran into Golang debating an updated json library for its stdlib [1]. What I want to say about that is, there is almost no universe I would be willing to put up with that community feedback. Any human with the stamina to respond to aggressive and persistent haranguing and nitpicking has more patience than I will ever have. So if the majority of criticism of Elm is that they exclude those kinds of people from their community then I totally understand it. Even if you paid me a 300k TOC FAANG salary there is no way I'm dealing with those kind of people, forget about it for a project of my own passion. Thank you for your interest, but please take your "help" anywhere else.

His conclusion is bleak and a bigger warning than most realize. How many people have amazing ideas on their laptops in a proof-of-concept state right now but they don't know what to do? One on hand is the specter of entitled expectation from a legion of idiots who have been conditioned on the open source models made possible by huge corporations. On the other are the corporations salivating at Apache, MIT and BSD licensed free software they can host for almost no cost. And as he points out - the current alternatives for funding are totally inadequate.

Zig Interfaces
I don't know how common it is, but Patreon's biggest selling point to me is that I already have an account there. If there was a ton of competition, with creators I help support going to ten different platforms, I don't think I would follow them—certainly not all of them. I want as few companies as possible to have my billing information, and (all else equal) I'd prefer if that company had been around for a while. That's Patreon.

And the centralization works for creators, too. I have several times discovered a creator on Patreon whose work I already appreciated, but who had not done a good job of communicating that they even had a Patreon, so I never knew about it. I only found them by accident, and pledged money to them, just because I was already on Patreon.

5% + 5% is a lot (10% if my math is right), but I'm not sure where artists get a better deal these days, at least on the internet.

Further, the Patreon interface sucks for users, and I'm sure it sucks even more for creators who have to engage with it more frequently. But, not so bad that I, personally, am looking to find another alternative.
Projects using AI and blockchain; my favourite combination!
Your deploy process says nothing if several (possibly thousands? a submodule can be big) files are missing and this is a complaint you have about git? It sounds like more of a complaint about the deploy process.
I was responding to:

> These are retirees, they have pensions
Absolutely. If he runs Republicans are going to saturate the airwaves with the hordes of drug addicts living on the street in San Francisco. That won’t play well anywhere.

It’s not really Newsom’s fault since he is not SF city council but people won’t notice that.

Anything seen as being soft on or pro drug will be toxic to him.
> the best alternative I've seen is Fossil and (opinion me) I think Fossil makes more mistakes than Git does.

The fossil developers (myself included) would be interested in hearing what those mistakes are. We're open to improvement so long as they don't break backwards compatibility (e.g. rewriting history, as is necessary for kernel-scale projects, is an unwavering absolute no-no in fossil).
Smoke is a highly likely casual factor. You don’t really win any points for saying IT COULD BE CORRELATION. This one seems like an extremely safe bet. It’s not even a huge effect size.

I think you underestimate the resilience of the Chinese people. They came out of the bloodiest civil convulsion in centuries, to become the second largest economy, and the fastest growing one, ever (well in known human history, anyway).

That being said, sure they face challenges. But I don't think they could "not survive" if isolated. They are probably one of the few places that could survive isolation: abundant agricultural land, immense manufacturing capability, incredible ability to mobilize millions of people toward survival activities, world's largest coal reserves.

If put in that position, they would be more likely to wage war to secure the things they needed, cannibalize other steel for war purposes, etc. I don't think the "China is too weak to fight a war" makes sense.

I think there's multiple levels in which it fails: if you accept it is weak, you must also accept that weak, cornered people are the most dangerous; if you accept it is strong, you must accept it can fight. Truly, it has a mix of both qualities, but I don't think the idea of it being "too weak to fight" has a solid basis.

In a more morbid sense, you could consider the lockdowns as training for the population for wartime curfew and associated hardships.
Typically, folks who are running or thinking about running don’t directly answer questions about it.

It’s also very common for inside knowledge on an exploratory committee to be leaked to the press ahead of a run. Serious candidates hire a team to strategize months before making an announcement and it never stays silent because the exploratory committee itself tends to leak in order to gauge the early reaction. We’ve seen neither of these things from Newsom.
It's easier to support a company of users when everybody is using the vcs tool in a consistent way.
> sure enough, when you store names in the files, you have to rewrite history when someone changes email address, but in another world, you'd use a uuid and a file called .gitauthors that maps one to the other—and you wouldn't even have to put email addresses in the file, you could just put github urls or similar.

I mean, it's called .mailmap, and it's a map of commit email to cannonical email instead of uuid to canonical email, but this basically exists: https://git-scm.com/docs/gitmailmap
The talk is a nice combo of informative and entertaining.

I liked the ending of 'now that I've proven myself to be capable and likeable, someone give me money for this new thing I've been working on'. Very shrewd 'self marketing'.

For all this talk of free markets and whatever, we still live in a world of rich but bored and creative but poor.
> Both had superior user experience compared to git

Highly subjective.

Both Mercurial and Bazaar were plagued a long time by muddled branching and collaboration story. In hg there were the anonymous branches, multiple repos, bookmarks, all worked in different ways and their interactions were confusing. Bazaar I didn't use much but remember not understanding at all its branching model then, and didn't bother finding out.

Git won because it got many things right from the start, and was better than the competition.
I agree. You laid out my current design in a nutshell, actually. Except for folders. But my branches will be more than a bookmark.
Coming to all homes in Europe soon.

Hydrocarbon stoves and boilers will be outlawed soon, for some target point in the near future. First for new installations, then banning existing fossil fuel burning devices. The pace varies by country and political agenda, but EU will force laggards to catch up, and print money to subsidize the transition, where necessary:

https://energy.ec.europa.eu/topics/energy-efficiency/heat-pu...

https://energy.ec.europa.eu/news/heat-pumps-action-plan-onli...

There are already several startups trying to modernize and optimize the process of installing and maintaining heat pumps in Europe.
You’re getting downvoted but I agree with this. Fragmentation tends to become a pathological situation where the ecosystem ends up consisting of mostly promising but half baked solutions and h th is gets dominated by big, boring, awful but corporate financed solutions.

I know a lot of people like Java but Java is exactly that.

> it requires a heat sink

It does not. They’ve made a point of noting that it’s faster that a Pi 4 even if you run it without a heat sink and let it throttle the cpu back when it hits the temperature limit.
"All of the Clojure collections...are efficient and inherently thread-safe."

https://clojure.org/reference/data_structures#Collections

"Seqs differ from iterators in that they are persistent and immutable, not stateful cursors into a collection. As such, they are useful for much more than foreach - functions can consume and produce seqs, they are thread safe, they can share structure etc."

https://clojure.org/reference/sequences

I think it's a fundamental enough property of clojure data structures that it would be redundant to mention it in every docstring.
Not just that. There are Paypal issues, collection of VAT taxes in Europe, and other sales overhead that has gotten more burdensome over the years, so it's kind of a cumulative frustration with a changing world marketplace for small independent sellers.

Probably not different in scale than seller problems with Amazon, even if different in nature.
Trumps baggage doesn’t matter as much because he has a cult that will vote for him literally no matter what.

They’ve even been presented with equally or even more right wing candidates and have rejected them for Trump. It’s not even about the politics. It’s about their desire for a strong man ruler.
I had a long battle with making kitty work with tmux. I settled on the following in ~/.tmux.conf, before moving to wezterm for good. Maybe it fixes things for you, too:

set -g default-terminal xterm-256color
set-option -sa terminal-overrides ',xterm-kitty:RGB'
set-option -ga terminal-overrides ",xterm*:Tc:smcup@:rmcup@"
set-option -ga terminal-overrides ",screen*:Tc:smcup@:rmcup@"
set-option -ga terminal-overrides ",tmux*:Tc:smcup@:rmcup@"

I honestly don't know whether all are needed, or only some. But with these, it worked well for me.
It's not really a hype-driven notion. The underlying machinery is statistical models, but those models are being trained into higher order structures which are worthy of research in their own right due to emergent properties, and eventually work in understanding and controlling those emergent properties will be more important than foundational ML advances.
The cost of flying is externalized on the environment; time can vary depending on actual distance, after you consider getting to/from the airport, or the last 100km to your destination. I think the two options are fairly competitive with one another.
I disagree. Californians have enjoyed a lot of supremacy at the national level. Nancy Pelosi was the House speaker for quite some time, Kevin McCarthy was elected House speaker. State representatives are pretty immune to this kind of criticism. If someone who managed San Francisco tried to run for national office I think what you said would happen, but I think more than just independents would call them out.

I'm not sure makes you think that. I feel like you're trying to move the goalposts. My objection is with your characterization of gas prices as being "regulated", not that the government has zero influence over gas prices.
I can understand not using capital letters for short informal messages, but reading whole article written in such style is hard.

That said, I agree with most points. The main problem with Git is that it's not bad, it's good enough. Mercurial and Fossil are superior, but Git is good enough, so people won't switch.
