The 3 month expiry is what led to my company paying for licenses. Having to potentially pause development and spend time doing the same setup process 4 times a year is painful (and wasteful since there's no real reason apart from trivial licensing issues - the resulting install is the same).
Not to make this too much about ego :-) but I am actually quite good at maths, did v. well at school, did engineering degree, etc. so I'm not sure I'm a great example, rather I am out of practice and not as comfortable with this stuff now as I once was :-)
Inasmuch as a merge is a 3-way comparison between a common parent and two branches, it is basically DVCS-agnostic. The really interesting thing here is that Darcs doesn't just do three-way merges: it actually tracks every change along the way. From what I understand, Darcs conceptually resolves conflicts as if you rewound one branch and played it on top of the other, and vice versa simultaneously. A conflict is considered resolved if these operations are commutative, that is, the order of commits doesn't affect the result. Manual intervention is required when this fails to be true. This is inherently more powerful than a three-way merge, because you have the entire history of each divergent branch to help you understand changes, instead of only the net effect of each.

Not thus far, but once there is a viable "underground" replacement suddenly the Apple will become passe and everyone will be on to the Pear. Apple is nearing that tipping point, at least in some markets. Once trends get big enough, they stagnate until something comes along and replaces them; Apple is approaching stagnation. The market is ready for real disruption if someone can put the pieces together correctly.

When you sell products for a customer, you have to be really careful to make them not-dangerous if used by an idiot. If you fix/build stuff yourself, you get to know the ins and outs of the thing you're working with. So it doesn't matter that much if something may be a little dangerous if misused, you should know what to do with it.

One or two screws missing, it's a whole lot better than buying a new one and wasting raw materials and energy and creating waste.
This is great step towards a global untapped internet where people can have their freedom of speech without the need of fear of being spied upon. I hope more countries follows this example; The Netherlands proves once again that they are one step ahead in integrity-politics.
Still, it is useful if at least one country legislates it. It means that organizations that rely on net neutrality, or strive to achieve net neutrality through technological means, could move to that country and do their work unhindered. No bullying ISPs etc...

We thought that using pushState to allow user to press "back" button to get to previous quote would be a good feature. You're not the only one who doesn't like that, which means we're probably going to use replaceState instead and implement our own "previous quote" functionality.

Anyway, thank you for your feedback!

> The culture of discard and buy another really comes about from items being pretty cheap and the repair costs being pretty high.

Not necessarily. A big part of it is simply our broken economic system. Many, many, many items are made to break.[1]

I hope we start to rent more things as a service instead of paying for them. If we paid a flat fee every month to have our houses lighted, I bet our light bulbs would be durable as heck. Obviously this is not going to be feasible for a while.

But why can't we pay a flat fee to have a usable Mac? Apple stores can be found all around the world. The incentive for Apple would be to use durable hardware and write highly optimized, a little more portable software.

I think gov'ts should force companies to think more about the long term by enforcing a longer minimum warranty for hardware, and force vendors to release security updates for at least 10 years. (All 32-bit Macs will have _zero_ professional use cases once Apple stops patching 10.6. Meanwhile, my mom has owned her XP Word machine for almost a decade.)

> You can imagine that I write a new filesystem for Linux, but I wait two years and the FS interface has changed drastically, the old patch is meaningless.

Perhaps, but the same could be said for git: the original commit is also meaningless because so much has changed since. I don't see that as a compelling argument.

Also, darcs lets you explicitly set dependencies on patches for the cases when it can't automatically detect them. The key philosophical difference is that darcs doesn't use time as an implicit dependency.

We use darcs on greenfelt.net. We push patches to our development repo which is where the other developers pull from. When we are happy with the state of the feature we push the patches (manually, usually from 2 to 10 patches) to our test site for a quick sanity check and then push that live.

In practice this means that we have half finished features/ideas on our development repo that never get pushed (the oldest patch is from 2009 and is still perfectly relevant, I might add). It also means that bug fixes can be fast-tracked through (directly from development repo to the production server), when appropriate. This is all handled by darcs in a very straightforward manner (of all the DVCSes I've used, darcs has the absolute simplest/best UI--git has been copying it a lot lately, see "git add -p").

The other thing that I found that we do constantly with darcs that isn't really doable in git is "darcs unpull". If someone pushes a patch to the development repo that is flawed you can just unpull it and tell them to go fix it. We use darcs-notify so that the team is emailed when someone unpulls a patch from the main repo because it requires everyone on the team to unpull the patch. Of course, most of the time a patch gets unpulled it happens before anyone else has pulled it. We've done this even on fast-moving projects and it's less scary than it sounds, and allows you to keep the coding standards high.

Along those lines, I've noticed that the darcs push and pull UI encourages code review by asking you explicitly which patches you want to push/pull. At the prompt you press 'v' and it prints the patch up so you can see what it actually does. It's a seemingly small thing but I've watched other developers change their coding/patch styles dramatically after using darcs and watching the patches go by. I tend to use "darcs push" as a last minute quick code review to make sure there's nothing overtly stupid in my patched. I can't tell you the number of times I've control-C-ed a darcs push and amended to make the patches correct.

One thing I've noticed in using both darcs and git extensively is that once you've really embraced each one they encourage different kinds of commits. Darcs really likes light, independent patches (since conflicts are not darcs's strong suit) and git likes more atomic feature patches (since a commit that touches 15 files doesn't have any drawbacks).
Just note that everyone has a bad day. This may the day you "forget" all the things you normally know and then accidents happen. I don't want to say that you should never use such things, but it is a good practice - even if you just build them for yourself - to improve them in the long-run to decrease the chance of accidents.
If repair is cheaper than replacement, buying a new one is a waste of resources. This smells like the broken window fallacy.

"Nothing is allowed unless its completely perfect" is a dangerous attitude. Its made a lot of people homeless, closed a ton of the soup kitchens and shelters those homeless might have sought refuge in and IMHO prevented a great deal of innovation from seeing the light of day.

I doubt their reasons but not necessarily their conclusions. Breaking in to the laptop market seems fiendishly hard, at least due to economies of scale. Sure, 10% might be willing to buy a Linux laptop, but at what markup? When do you just say sod it and buy a Windows laptop to re-install. And from what I gather, Windows is so highly subsidized for OEM vendors that the cost is really negligible.

Further, it seems like the 10% savvy enough to want Linux won't be a perfect subset of the people buying laptops from brick and mortar retailers any way. Breaking in to the market would require a lot of other stuff, not necessarily retail (e.g. an efficient supply chain, direct sales to corporate, quality laptop builds, ...).

As I said, it's a massive undertaking. The minimal acceptable toolkit (to say nothing of competing with GTK or QT, just getting the minimal toolkit that users will tolerate) is an immense amount of work. Quite a lot of it is essential complexity, the things that textboxes do that are simply expected and are true representations of complexity, not accidental artifacts of the paradigm used. Functional programming may or may not help with accidental complexity but nothing can duck the essential complexity. I'd estimate that even a minimal toolkit would be on par with the time invested into GHC itself, and to seriously compete, tack a couple of orders of magnitude on there.

In a world where everybody implements MVC web framework in their favorite language, reimplements window managers in their favorite language, and reimplements all manner of other software simply because it wasn't in their favorite language... there's a reason all the communities just bind to GTK, QT, and wxWidgets and don't reimplement widget frameworks from scratch in their favorite language, even for languages much better funded and bigger than all the functional programming communities put together. Just the bindings can be major and in some cases unsustainable efforts for smaller communities.

Since it isn't likely going to be said otherwise, I really think this is the best library for doing Machine Learning out there right now.

This assessment isn't based on breadth of algorithms supported, since R beats it here. It has nothing to do with documentation, even though it has the best. Scikits.learn is fantastic because it has consistent interfaces. The creators of this library have thought very hard about what interfaces classifiers should have. This greatly reduces the learning curve and makes it cake to compare classifiers.

The clean interfaces make it easier to perform cross-validation and leads to less surprises. The largest problem with most machine learning code out there is while it works, it never gets this kind of software engineering attention.
So to design a better controlled experiment, the OP should write a statistically significant number of emails (>100...maybe 1000+) without sending them. An app should perform a double-blind study by randomly choosing half those emails to go to multiple recipients (all but one being fake) and choosing the other half to go to one recipient only.

Anyone see any holes in this approach?

I agree that basic copyright claims can be reasonably decided by a random jury. Questions like "was this book copied unfairly?" are totally within bounds because everyone is familiar with the objects and context in play. But I think it's a stretch to expect any twelve people pulled off the street to be able to comprehend the concept of "an API" and the other technical things swirling around this case. Maybe this jury was pretty smart, but I know no matter how many times this concept is explained to my grandma, for example, she will not really understand what you were talking about.

I think the fact that you have two opposing teams of "experts" makes it even more difficult for the jury; Oracle surely brings people in that talk about APIs in more concrete terms so that they can strengthen their copyright claim, and Google surely brings in people that say, "No, an API is just a set of concepts that trigger magic in some other code", and I think that normal people would just be more confused after hearing this.

Wouldn't it be better to simply recognize this is a case that requires deep technical knowledge, find software people who do not have a bias one way or the other toward Google/Oracle, and put them on the jury, where they will understand the extreme consequences of ruling that APIs represent copyright infringement, instead of just sitting twelve random people in front of two or three short videos and expecting them to grasp that the outcome of the case here will effect and set precedent as to whether clean-room implementations anywhere are legitimate, and what that means? If this precedent was set way back when it may even have been construed to apply to implementations of protocols like HTTP; imagine the consequences if some early player like Urbana-Champaign was given the copyright to the "HTTP API" and no one except them was allowed to write a browser that used HTTP (without licensure). Also, I hope no one here depends on WINE.

Do we really expect any set of twelve random people to understand this is the kind of decision to which they are contributing?

The root cause of the "throwaway culture" seems to be the assembly line: Stuff becomes cheap when it can be produced in a series of simple, non-varying steps.

Stuff just doesn't break in a consist way. If every repair were identical, we could fix stuff on an assembly line, and we would no longer constantly run into ridiculous situations where it costs less to buy a whole new widgit than to repair your old one.

Updating your apps keeps them on people's radar, allows you to add more features and to put out a press release (or blog post :-) ) in case of a big update.

My daughter's favourite on iOS has been Pocket God for a looong time mostly because of the updates they do regularly (which are essentially more of the same). You could just add more puzzles to your app, perhaps themed to Christmas, etc.

You could use (possibly limited) Flash / web versions to make people aware of the iOS apps.

I can see how he can come across that way. The progress that was made before 1980, of which we're entirely still surfing on, has to be connected with the simplicity and lack of patterns. It was like the 60's in music; no one knew what to expect so everything was possible.

Two scenarios:

1. Performing dodgy repair jobs on your own equipment for your own personal use.

2. Performing dodgy repair jobs for unsuspecting people that don't know the difference between a resistor and capacitor and are trusting your skill and judgement.

In instance [1] you're performing your own risk assessment and will bear any consequences. In [2] you're performing a risk assessment that will directly impact upon someone else's safety. Their level of risk acceptance may be far more conservative than your own.

If the producer would share the design of the iron with the world, the risk would be reduced significantly. The leftover parts could be identified by crowdsourced databases as nonimportant, or as risky to leave out.
But this technically isn't diffusion. It's concentration of responsibility.
Forgive my simplified response.. Is a way to look at this.. Rather than inside out, the functions compose outside in and then evaluate the reducable as a last step. That gives the benefit, since there's only one step the laziness needs to "devolve" in?

i always regret that i didn't take my parents valve radio when the house was cleared and sold over a decade ago. it was bulky, inefficient but worked perfectly. had a lot of fond memories of that radio as a kid. they got it as a wedding present in the early sixties. the valves would eventually need replacing but there are still places selling the parts if you know where to go.

but my favourite bike as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s was a bsa bike that had been built in the early forties. that thing was a tank. it's probably still out there in use every day. completely indestrucible with a little light maintenance.

now however things are not built to last. ignoring electronics or computers which date fast. casettes, vcrs. analog mobiles 8bit, 16bit and now even 32bit computers are edging towards obsolescence for desktop use. a crappy tin opener still needed for those tins still sold without a prestressed ring pull will die in less than a decade. the bullhead tin opener in my parents kitchen seems to have been one of the first types sold in the late 19th century.

Taking a Mac for a repair or exchange is convenient in most parts of the world already because that's what people do in their first year (or three) of using it. Adopting a full-scale rental model isn't that far fetched.
Maybe the actors visit a few of the largest markets. But they aren't going to go on a year-long press-junket for the premieres everywhere, regardless of how much of a delay there is. They are working on the next film. [edit: I wonder if this might be why so many movie-release events in Tokyo feature B-grade local celebrities as the spokesperson for the film. None of the actors could be bothered to fly over].

Why not just have ONE worldwide premiere, and journalists from various countries can cover that single meaningful event?

Japan is a huge market for international film releases, so some of the actors do show up once in a while, but not often and certainly not for most movies.

There are popular television shows that cover all the current Hollywood releases of the week, including those without any scheduled local release date. Lack of media attention is not the problem.

Inertia, fear of change, and localism (who cares about the rest of the world?) is the problem, but it is slowly but surely getting better.

It's just being cognizant that VC software has positive network externalities. If you want to play with stuff, sure, go ahead, but if vc systems are just part of your toolset, then git has probably won. I'm in the latter camp: I want something solid and dependable - I'd rather spend my experimentation time with a new programming language or something else.
