JustFab is not a scam company...but they are using DARK DESIGN PATTERNS

So...they are a scam company? Just because you can try to apply different terms to describe their business, doesn't mean they aren't operating mainly to scam people out of their money.
Please bear with me, I'm new to Arduinos/uCs..

So an ATMEGA uC needs an external oscillator to run? Is it to provide the clock signal or for something else? If so, why doesn't it have its own clock signal generator? Wouldn't it always need one to run at all?

I never use rebase, but I don't see problems if your branch is local.

I would prevent rebasing after pushing the branch to remote.

Anyway this branching model doesn't looks so that simple.

If I went to your site, I would see all of that text, choose NOT to read it and then choose NOT to purchase the shoes. Because I would recognize that there was something hinky and I would not want to expend the mental energy to figure out what it is. And I would NOT return to you site or recommend it to anyone else.

I buy running shoes from an online retailer that also provides a VIP membership. And it can be clearly understood in 5-10 seconds. And you have to opt-IN to the membership and opt_IN to auto-renewal of the charge. And guess what?? It's 1.99 per YEAR - clearly not a great source of income to the company. And my discount is considerably more than 1.99. (I guess they just don't want me to check out as a guest.)

Hm. Not an expert on the subject but I think by some readings of that you could consider it to be one. After all, if you duplicate the setup you're going to bug that gives you exactly the same kind of advantage that a template attack gives you, one where you have many more samples than you'd have if all you had to use was the target itself. You could even try to parallelize this to determine sensitivity to conditions by creating a number of setups all slight variations on the target. This should help to establish how reliable the output of the actual side-channel is.

Rebasing on a public branch is a big no-no. But rebasing on your private branch helps you catch merge problems early on.

Except for the "merge --no-ff" I'm using exactly this model and I think it is great. It can't get any more simple than that and still have a working master.

Regarding the "straight line, clean" history, I've found that most people think that a straight line is "the" history to have. I have no idea what to tell them.

We pin the price to $100 and vary our markup depending on volume. The most dramatic landscape in Norway, Trollveggen – the image we shown on the site, gives us a markup of exactly zero. We're running this off a small cluster of colocated boxes with SSDs to handle the IO for the elevation models. So it's mostly to keep the lights on.

That said, we hadn't tested it on flatter landscapes and the models we tested with only gave us a markup of a few dollars. The markup we put on your model seems slightly greedy. We're lowering it now to a maximum of $20.

This is exactly how you do git. Sanity. Thank you.
Let met tell you why angular is hard. It is because most of us are not familiarized with the concepts. The docs are hard to read and some stuff is buried deep within the language, but once you understand the concepts it's very easy to get started. We have introduced angular here and are using it in several production apps, and everyone is very happy. We had one team member learning it in a week (granted, he could learn very fast because he could ask someone when he had doubts), and already wrote 2 or 3 apps in the next weeks. An he isn't a "javascript" guy.

In fact, most or all of angular concepts can be found elsewhere in other frameworks such as spring/guice(IoC), any decent ORM (dirty checking, "digest cycles"), WPF (directives/code-behind,declarative, whatever you want to call it), etc.

Although I feel that its source code is hard to read sometimes, I'm happy to let the framework do its magic and allow me to write apps without getting in the way. I can write modular components and test them with the angular/grunt/karma combo. If I need tabs, modal or whatever I can pull some libs and get it working quickly. If size/speed's a serious concern, I'll write my own lib/directive/etc.

The age of oversupply
Book clubs and music clubs make it at least fairly clear that they are subscription based. For example:

https://subscribe.hearstmags.com/subscribe/splits/oprah/opr_...

The text is very clear here. Contrast that with the justfab.com language and lay out, on the Oprah site (I can't believe I'm linking to that anyway) the text with the warning sits right between the button and the body text, interrupting the flow of the reader to draw attention to the text, it is also the item closest to the button.

The 'happy flow' clearly includes the warning.

Public history and private history. Or maybe changes to production vs changes as you developed.

I care more about the merge then the commits. (In github parlance, the Pull Request) This workflow turns commits throughout time into a single change against the master (while still preserving the commit history). Conceptually this is a lot easier for me to see what's changing, and to deal with issues. So I guess I disagree with point #1)

In a continues delivery environment this workflow makes sense because the log accurately shows the history of the changes to the app in production instead of the development environments. (Merge, Merge, Merge)

#2 doesn't make sense to me, if you rebase you're up to date with master as of the branching commit.

I would argue that you want to resolve conflicts in a rebase instead of a merge. This allows you to see where the branches diverge and fix it right away, closer to the offending commits, Preventing more work from piling up around the conflict making it harder to piece what's going on.
I bet one reason why everyone links to the page is because Imgur sets it up that way in their copy-paste links. Makes it easier for non-technical users to link to the page while not placing any actual barrier to direct links.

We used a very similar model to this at my last job, and I'm struggling to get my current team on board with this type of process. I think the main problem is that people don't trust continuously deploying master because there aren't enough tests. In my ideal world, every commit is tested (with Jenkins, Travis, Buildbot, etc), and then if the PR includes tests for the code and the build passes, the reviewer says LGTM and the committer presses the merge button on GitHub. Once the button is pushed, a build of master is triggered. If the build passes, the code is automatically deployed.

Frank and Oak (frankandoak.com) does something similar to JustFab. They just raised a large Series A.

I've been burned by this personally, but ultimately it's really a case of buyer beware so I can't really hold a grudge - even if the tactic is sleazy imo.
If you rebase aren't you destroying that history of experimentation? I feel like this is destroying the whole idea of a VCS as a safety net and making developers self-conscious about something that supposed to tolerant of mistakes.
Learning git here. Could you please explain how rebase squashes commit ? Looking at man git-rebase it seam that it detaches a branch and attaches it to the current branch. From the documentation the chain of commits is preserved and simply moved in the graph. The sequence of commit nodes of the branch are not merged into one commit node.
Same here, it's very clearly unclear in what is going on with that VIP program. That's not a failure of the site visitor at all but certainly will be the first thing anyone hungry for their money would say.

It seems like further proof that the plan is to separate suckers from their money.

The standard bootloader needs a resonator or crystal to run the oscillator. You can also program a bootloader which uses the internal oscillator in the Arduino IDE, in that case no resonator or crystal is used, like I did with the attiny.
Exactly. It's a bullshit scam. The entire page guides you into signing up for a "VIP" style, but always looks and feels like you're buying a single pair of shoes. It is a scam, plain and simple, and their recurring income is from the privilege of sending poor unwary consumers a new pair of shoes every single month without their full understanding.

It's no better than the mail-order monthly subscription scams of olde. Perhaps people invest in those too, but no one in their right mind claims it's "a great company."

It's a scam using classic deceptive marketing methods. No debate, no question.
Put your phone on something soft? I like to leave mine on a sponge mousepad so the vibration doesn't amplify through the table.

Hmyeah, so Josh Hannah @jdh (A series investor in JustFab) was defending JustFab in this other thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6455575 how it's totally not a scam, backed up with a screenshot, clearly showing it to be scammish.

I'd be delighted if we could hear his take on the class action lawsuit.

Over the past several years, I've had discussions with a number of people about anthropogenic climate change and global warming. A number of people that disagreed with anthropogenic climate change were adamant that a number of scientists had decreed that the world was, in fact, getting cooler. I asked them for sources, and several sources were put forth. In every instance, the sources they provided were in agreement that the world was, in fact, getting warmer (I'm not sure of any scientist that would say otherwise when looking at the past 150 years). The sources they provided were arguing against the anthropogenic causes, not that the world wasn't getting warmer. This is what I would call "denial"--when the facts coming from their own sources are in direct contrast to their own beliefs.

Furthermore, when confronted with compelling evidence that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are the result of the burning of fossil fuels, not natural emissions of carbon dioxide (such as algae blooms, volcanic activity, or the thawing of carbon trapped in ice), they continue to argue that the CO2 levels are not due to human activity. The compelling evidence comes from carbon isotope analysis--C14 levels are consistent with atmospheric conditions from some 60 million years ago, ruling out recent biological releases and releases from trapped ice, while C13 levels rule out sources from volcanic activity. Both are consistent with output resulting from the burning of fossil fuels. This, to me, is a case of cognitive dissonance--when facts are in direct conflict with strongly held beliefs, cognitive dissonance can lead to a denial of said facts. This is another case of "denial".
Perhaps it was the submission of tea party article about a forged birth certificate.
It's because the shoe itself is the first item in the VIP membership by nature. If you buy something, you're buying into their whole service.
I silence the noise before merging on a public branch by squashing the "thinking commits" on my private branch. What remains is a clean history of commits. You will not find the oscillating commits on the public branch but you will find them on my private (local) branch.

So you do commit early and often, just that nobody else sees your commits until the feature is complete and working. And then only after you rearranged and squashed your commits. From the outside it looks like you always commit top quality code from the first try.

Wait, "your are activating your VIP Membership"?

Good eye! And if they would actually send out shoes every month to all their subscribers I don't think there would be a problem. Instead you get credits that can only be spent with them and that can't be redeemed for cash. The vast majority of those will in the long term simply never be redeemed at all.
