But if you delete the branch, how are they supposed to see the history? You'll just have a bunch of commits appear in master.

The commit message will help - if they've left something decent.

OwnCloud 4.0 just released
Depends on their calorie intake mostly. If there's a calorie deficit (they burn more calories than they eat) they'll lose weight and look like rakes. If they eat more than they burn, they'll get bigger and usually stronger.
https://gitorious.org/owncloud

ownCloud began at a KDE community event in 2010, aiming to bring greater flexibility, access and security to data in the cloud. ownCloud enables universal access to files through the widely implemented WebDAV standard, providing a platform to easily view and sync contacts, calendars and bookmarks across devices while supporting sharing, viewing and editing via the web interface. Installation has minimal server requirements, doesn’t need special permissions and is quick. ownCloud is extendable via a simple, powerful API for applications.

With more than 450,000 users, ownCloud offers the ease-of-use of Dropbox with more flexibility and security. ownCloud users can run their own file sync and share services on their own hardware and storage, use popular public hosting and storage offerings, or both.

Other major improvements:

- Drag & Drop File Uploading – Enables end users to upload a file from a browser without installing a client. Simply open a browser, log in and then drag from the desktop into the ownCloud window.

- Shared Calendars and Calendar categories – End users can sync their own calendar, but also share their calendar with others, enabling them to see and schedule appointments while looking at the user’s schedule.

- File Encryption – new server side encryption increases file security while at rest – not even server admins can look at these encrypted files while they reside on the server.

- ownCloud 4 also adds a to-do syncing plug-in, improved contacts and groups, improved file sharing, enhanced the photo gallery, improved system performance, easier installation of third party plug-ins and more. Complete details can be found http://owncloud.org/features.

...if it would only sync FBReader bookmarks and FireFox tabs/bookmarks á la read it later across devices...
It looks interesting enough but a few things put me off:

1). Rolling its own ORM rather than using Doctrine.

2). YATL (yet another templating language). I wish the PHP world would just standardise on Twig.

3). Localisation seems a bit basic at the moment and it's a shame you have to define messages in a PHP array rather than something more portable like YAML.

4). Would have been great if it used Monolog for logging.

On the plus side, I like the clean design and their approach for events looks cool.
Congratulations on the 4.0 release. Can't wait to try it out.
I have two questions:

Since the EMR is updated constantly, data from devices
whose clocks are way off would simply never be recorded.
Others might bury current information in older files.
Worse, they may insert the data into the EMR when the
patient they concern has left the given clinical
environment and another has come in.

1. Why does the central EMR trust timestamps from the devices?

Daylight saving time corrections twice a year require
tedious manual tweaks that the MD PnP Program, an
initiative supporting networking standards for medical
devices, estimates cost American hospitals over $17m
annually. At Massachusetts General, a patient-monitoring
system deletes an hours' worth of data when rolling back
from 2am to 1am every autumn, while drug pumps are kept
permanently on standard time, so they are (at least) one
hour off for half the year.

2. Why are they using time zones at all?
Why does Windows sometimes "copy to clipboard" when I press the delete key?
Can you have more than one patch queue going at once?
Why Isn’t C Memory Safe Yet?
I don't know how much of an issue this is in practice, but if the Google favicon service only requires the hostname then it will sometimes get the icon wrong. Any individual page can specify its own icon via a link element in the page header. (This is essential when multiple sites share the same host.) Is there any reasonable way to deal with that?
> What if you remove the branch and nobody has any idea where change 'x' came from or why?

If you want to make it clear that the change was from a branch, you can merge with --no-ff and you'll have a merge commit.

What you call 'rewriting history' is just moving pointers around a tree. Git maintains a non-linear history of development, entirely orthogonal to the concept of branches.

This means that for branches with significant amounts of work, you can get a good idea of why there it diverged from master just by inspecting the history.

A pointer pointing to the last commit before merge is nice to have, but you don't lose much when you delete it.

It also has the FRA law

which lets it legally do what it wants to prevent other governments from doing. Because they are, you know, not the Swedish government.

I used to work at the stations mentioned, we had big signs on the nearby highway pointing out that the "smoke" coming out of the towers was just water vapour. The actual pollution was generally pretty hard to spot thanks to various ash and particulate collection methods in action, that is unless one of the boilers was being restarted and diesel was being burnt, in which case the smoke was quite black and visible.
When did he say to do that? The point was that building habits is easier with a low-stress, laid-back approach.
This article seemed to miss what to me has been the biggest change: redefining yourself. If you're like me a lot of your self image is tied up in being a programmer and being very good at it. Being an entrepreneur means giving that up. It means not knowing what the cutting edge is any more, not knowing your way around every library, etc. Worse, it's not like you become a good entrepreneur overnight. So you go from being excellent at one thing to mediocre at many things. That's hard for a lot of people to accept.

Coal is probably cheaper

Contrary to popular believe in our community, many programmers are of average intelligence, discipline and curiosity. Haskell (as well as plenty of other technologies) will be too much effort for this group. Is this a taboo? Or elitist?

I wonder why people desire so for the mainstream adoption of Haskell. I smell empty motives. Haskell seems to have done fine without mainstream recognition.

I came away thinking the same. Also, Laravel seems (from first glance at least) to lack the modular design approach of Symfony2 i.e. with Laravel you either take the whole framework or nothing at all - you can't selectively pick which modules you want. Another thing I missed was Silex's approach of using a minimal core and then relying on third party providers for functionality rather than re-inventing the wheel (e.g. Doctrine for db work, Monolog for logging and Twig for templating).

well... If you wanna stay healthy and maybe lose some weight endurance sports are the way to go. swimming is great, as well as bicycling (running as well, though might damage your joints when you get older). frankly anything that gets your cardiovascular system going for a long time. humans, in contrast to a lot of other mammals, have an excellent endurance. it's one of the physical conditions that made us superior hunterers a long time ago, when we would simply chase an antilope thru the desert, until it was exhausted. capitalize on that and always do some endurance sports if you are serious about your health.

Being a micro framework it's more similar to Sinatra than Rails.

In terms of main differences, it's PHP rather than Ruby which means it's verbose rather than terse and it's less automagical than Sinatra / DataMapper.

If you need to use PHP for a project, then it's a great choice, but if you don't then you're better off with Sinatra (or Express and Node depending on what you're wanting to do).
It's extremely rare than any insight whatsoever is to be found in a comment containing the line: "I stopped reading at this point".

I've heard of that index before, and I'm skeptical of it. Ruby and Python waning? Not among any of the shops or programmers I know.

That's the very definition of "anecdotal evidence".

People working in the Smalltalk community could probably say the same, as the language was dying ("but the shops and programmers I know are doing just fine!").

The Tiobe is far from perfect, but it's better than mere anecdotal evidence. This is about trends and statistics, not something like "my project manager come in today and said he should not use Ruby anymore".

Are you on this internet thing?

Many indicators such as things one can see with a naked eye. Book publications, article postings, HN mentions, new projects emerging, peak blog/media coverage, etc etc.

Advocates of some language would like to thing it is eternal, but every single language has had ups and then downs in popularity, with some going away almost entirely, like Smalltalk, or slowly fading, like Perl and tcl, and others coming and going out of vogue.
As someone who works with devices which require good timekeeping, I'll add another question: if the devices are communicating with a central server, why doesn't that protocol include a time update from the server?

My point was that patch queues are more for the kind of workflow that might be experimental in nature, that you might not want to land on the mainline for a while (if ever).
Most mobile phones usually get their time from the phone towers. Of course, this relies on them having the right time.

Contradicting the null hypothesis is easy: any time a potential investor has asked a small company with a bright idea 'but what's to stop someone else just copying your idea after i've paid you to develop it?' and the developer replies 'well, we have patent protection' to reassure him/her, patents have been useful and supportive of innovation.

The problem is that the argument will immediately move on to the net benefit/detriment to the industry, at which point we need to establish the principles on which people object to software patents.

You are clearly unable to or unwilling to wrap your head around concepts you disagree with, so stop wasting your time.

Less condescension maybe?

Try doing the rest of the math.

33mpg -> ~1.52 gallons
50mpg -> 1 gallon for a 50 mile trip

So going from 33mpg to 50mpg saves half a gallon.

13mpg -> 3.84 gallons for a 50 mile trip
17mpg -> 2.94 gallons for a 50 mile trip

.9 gallons saved. So in your scenario, going from 13mpg to 17 saves more gas than switching from 33 to 50.
Surely the optimum strategy to both hire an instructor and to read articles.

One can then ask better questions and be less vulnerable to the instructor's misconceptions (due to parochialism or inherited from his instructor, etc).

Elon Musk doesn't get tired. Fatigue gets elonmusked.
Something I find really strange/frustrating with a few recent frameworks (Laravel included) is their overuse of static methods. You have these singletons floating through the framework which maintain state (Request, Session, Logging etc) but you can only ever access them statically. Seems like bad practise to me.

What if you want to swap out Request for a mock during unit testing; since you've hard coded the Request class throughout your controllers how would you switch to a RequestMock class? What happens if you were dealing with more than one request (e.g in a HMVC setup).
There was Windows 386 but that hardly counts as it was for multi-tasking DOS applications, something Desqview had already done for years.

What was shocking, as you hint at, was how Microsoft, which had been encouraging OS/2 as their "serious" OS for years, dumped that and somehow managed to convince people that Windows 3.1 was better.

It was like going from a space ship to a party full of clowns. Wasn't it possible to write Windows apps in 16 bit mode then?

Incidentally creatine (which is mentioned in Shipper's post) is a great mental performance enhancer[1]. It gives endurance to muscles but also has a similar effect on mental endurance. Especially helpful for the problem of having no energy to do any work after your day job.

Thanks to Elon Musk, the length of time between now and when the average private citizen can travel to space on his or her own dime has just halved.

Markets do certain things well, and better than the public sector ever can (though I agree that the public sector is vitally important and regulation is needed). One is encourage competition so that prices for once extremely-expensive goods and services can drop rapidly. The market doesn't discriminate against evil, sure, and of course there will be abuses by mega-corporations looking to mine space for its vast natural resources. But the market also doesn't discriminate against good uses of space.

Elon Musk is helping us because what he has done will eventually let all of us into space, the good and the bad among us. To me that is a fairly democratic accomplishment.
I was also thinking "what exactly is this?" when viewing the front page. Good work though guys on the 4.0 release!
In what way is IKEA not an example of a successful company?
I haven't used Vagrant, but in the past I did write a bunch of scripts using the Virtualbox CLI and puppet to automate creation of multiple virtual machines based on the contents of a few .ini files. Vagrant appears to tackle that same problem-- whether it's more effective or not I can't say. Though Vagrant is definitely more featureful than what I'd cobbled together, I'm not sure how much more valuable it would be to me personally. But having an organized, self-documenting, repeatable way to generate a serverlike infrastructure on your development machine can be very useful (if you don't have extra actual servers lying around to play with, anyway)
Upvoted for the hidden Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tubeman link.
Sweden is outstanding if you ignore all the equally great countries in Europe and elsewhere. Sweden also used to be the standard-bearer for the Nordic model, this is not true anymore. There's plenty of reasons to avoid Sweden, but here are the top ones:

* Everything is expensive.

* Taxes are high.

* Housing (more or less) can't be rented, buying is expensive.

* Weather is cold and/or dark most of the year.

* Culture life is relatively mediocre.

* Foreigners generally perceive Swedes as guarded.

* Racism is on the rise.

One of the biggest strengths for Vagrant is Chef (or Puppet if you prefer). Anything that requires "apt-get *" as part of your instructions after "vagrant up" and you're just doing it wrong.

Check your Vagrantfile and associated recipes into git. Then it's just "git clone; vagrant up"

The benefit of this is that you can share your stack by having someone else just git clone your stack. Rather than a blog post, we'd be looking at your chef recipe. I'd much prefer that.
And, has been noted elsewhere as well, where on the page does it say the piece is just an opinion piece?

I'll save you the trouble: it doesn't.

So, while you maybe right, CNN doesn't indicate in any way that this is the case.
He's not saying it's not a successful company (it certainly is). What he said is that IKEA, being a traditional-business-disruptive company (with its too much competitive pricing), is probably not much in favor of flourishing market economy.
Thanks for the feedback. I use Puppet too, but avoided it in the post to simplify it for the reader. Maybe I'll write a follow-up and include Puppet as well.
I pick Amazon most of the time simply because I can read Kindle books on more devices. This isn't because of any good thing Amazon has done but rather its successful pursuit of snticompeititive policies:

1. Kindles won't read non kindle ebooks. (The kindle fire might if you know how, but it's not easy)

2. iPad will read all competiting ebooks.

3. Amazon's policies coerce publishers to keep prices low, in particular generating a revenue poverty trap for publishing books at prices between $10 and $20.
