True, although ideally reflog is just a backup in case you make a mistake (and not an integrated part of your workflow).

What I've found surprising is just how different workflows can be from project to project (or company to company). Some developers are die-hard about preserving history at the expense of the graph, whereas others are straight-line purists (and don't even accept merge commits on the remote).

I actually have some limited support for "git checkout -" to go back, but I should get around to making a legit reflog...
Only supports 200 simultaneous transactions ay? Well just put a big ol' queue on the front of it with a hard thread limit and tell people they'll get an email when it's ready.
And we have to use complicated tracking/transmitting devices that force us to trust us that you're not monitoring our movements instead of just having our odometers read annually (perhaps during emissions testing?)...why?

This is all much ado about nothing. Nissan put of bunch of cells in a Leaf for one race. It's not like before this they didn't think they could, and just now figured out how to... add more batteries. The 2014 model will not have twice the range for the same price.

Nissan has a 24 kWh battery for a reason: they can sell the car, after incentives, for about the price of a Prius. Doubling the pack would probably add about 10 grand to the price. If Nissan thought that was where they wanted to position themselves in the market, they would have done so already.

Though, personally, a 48 kWh Leaf would be pretty awesome. I'd pay an extra 10 grand for that. It would be a nice middle ground between an 80-grand Tesla and the current Leaf.
Not anyone -- if someone like Samsung decides to fork Android, people using their devices will suddenly find that their Google apps won't work anymore.

Very few things would qualify as a "truly live migration" under those criteria. The only systems I can think of which would count are those which sync cpu operations across different hosts.

I don't know precisely how vmotion does it, but doing a live disc migration is basically:

- copy a snapshot of the disc image across
- pause IO in the vm
- sync any writes that have happened since taking the snapshot
- reconnect IO to the new remote
- unpause IO in the vm

Obviously you want the delay between the pause and unpause to be as short as possible, and there are many tricks to achieving that, but this hits all the fundamentals.
Microsoft's desktop supremacy hasn't been down to "it's got a nice, easy to use interface" for at least 20 years.

Whilst I generally agree with your statement, I don't think it's due to MS having a good interface as opposed to Linux having a not so polished interface. This was a deal breaker for a lot of people I know in the not-so-tech-savvy world. Things have changed a lot in the past few years, but a lot of damage was done by then.
does it? It works for me: "Open Torrent", paste magnet link, click upload.
I agree. Just like LanceH said, it's bad form to get caught, but in all honesty, this is the NSA's job. To gather forgien intelligence.

> Here you go:

That page says that the Guardian's owner owns a company in the Cayman Islands. It doesn't say that the Guardian's owner is registered in the Cayman Islands, nor that the Guardian's owner pays no tax.

In other words, that page says exactly what I already said, and does not say what you said.

> They [...] no more believe it than [...]

It's far from clear exactly what "it" means (presumably something like "the opinions printed in the Guardian", but those are far from monolithic) -- but I would be interested to know your evidence that the people writing for the Guardian do not believe what they are writing.

And, also just out of curiosity, are there any left-leaning publications that you think are sincere, or is it your opinion that everyone whose politics you dislike is a hypocrite?
You're aware that the Obama administration are already strong backers of open source?
This looks great! May be a reason for me to ditch CMake, but I kind of need Windows support :/. Is it much work to add?

I wish someone made a similar way to share libraries like we can do in PHP (https://packagist.org) or Ruby (http://bundler.io/), but for C++.
Finding a known toxin in one cartridge out of eighteen could be a single manufacturing error, but does indeed strike me as a potential problem.

The remaining statements give no statement of quantities or the likely effects ... so could indeed be a serious problem, or no more of a risk than background radiation.

Please consider the possibility that my refusal to take -your- claims at face value indicates a refusal to do so with anybody's claims rather than a desire to only accept evidence from one side of an argument.

> Are they safe though?

Safety can't be treated as an absolute; I know somebody who's substantially allergic to peanuts or the dust thereof, and as such could easily have a very bad reaction simply from somebody eating a bag of peanuts next to them. This is not to my knowledge commonly raised as an argument to make peanuts illegal - but seems equivalent to your "particularly susceptible to tobacco" point, unless I'm missing something.

> I have no idea

Neither do I, but I regard this as a reason not to immediately draw any specific conclusion rather than to consider anybody who makes a particular guess to be "falling for" anything.
I don't really see what's so problematic about "We’ve learned the basics of Clojure’s syntax and evaluation model. Now we’ll take a tour of the basic nouns in the language." Am I missing something?
Aha, I get it now. Yes, that's a little awkward. Although, 3 would re-appear when going back again but that might be even more confusing.

But with OFFSET, you'd just have (frequently) shifting windows, right?
It's odd that they don't have a database of "known good" files taken from a clean install of each OS they support that they test against before releasing an update.

But it crashed at 200 in the testing the week before launch....

For all we know it crashed at 2 "truly simultaneous" attempts. I've watched more than one project run beautifully until they attempted a second simultaneous logged in user, which is not quite the same thing, but....
That's an argument against Open Source :(
I guess the alternative is to subject the implementers to a truckload of meetings. Implementers don't like that. I can see a pretty clear cause-effect chain here. You let the implementers focus on implementing. There becomes an agreed-upon definition of what sort of matters are in the implementer's sphere of focus - that anything outside that "sphere" is a distraction to the work they need to focus on. Usually those items outside the sphere are a step up in abstraction - product requirements, etc. The implementers then start to get blocked by matters outside their sphere, and they rely on people outside their "sphere" to get them unblocked. People are assigned to roles to handle the issues that are outside the implementer sphere... and they are usually not implementer (because someone with implementing skills is needed on the implementing team) and presto, bureaucracy.
Homeland security is a joke. It is a waste of taxpayer money that could and should be spent on much better things like healthcare or education. close the department of homeland security now!!!
Most people expect and accept "007-style" spying for security purposes. But exactly what kind of threat are Germany, France and Brasil to the US? The general suspicion in these countries is that the main motive behind the overzealous NSA activities is state sponsored industrial espionage, which is completely unacceptable.
You probably don't need LLVM to work with LLVM-IR. In fact, I imagine that there could be a market for a "low-level" IR with more compact implementation, sort of similar to Oberon "slim binaries" or something like that. The fact remains, though, that the "pragmatics" stuff around LLVM-IR (GC and other interfaces) seems still a little bit problematic.

But I'm a Luddite, though; I like self-hosting native compilers and I'm not terribly fond of the idea of having to pack a 20MB blob of C++ code with my code either. (There's a lot of apps that could profit from dynamic translation at run-time, but using LLVM for that feels unnecessarily heavyweight. I wish the algorithms and passes from LLVM were available in form of some high-level DSL that you'd be able to translate into whatever language you use and automatically adapt to whatever data structures you use in your code. It doesn't sound exactly impossible.)
Sugar is addictive and vastly more dangerous than ecigs IMO.
I was trying to stream the table entries into a "tallying" type process. And of course it came out with the wrong numbers. Frustrating. I finally replaced the whole "chaser" process with a repeated full table scan with SQL aggregate functions. Wildly inefficient, but reliable.
Four or five times a year someone floats this eternally stupid idea for the Exciting New Car Tax!!! and the answer to why the hell people would ever accept this, but not a gas tax increase, is always mumble mumble mumble "hey, look over there!"
Nothing wrong with what you are saying but let's get back to what started this conversation:

> Their true value lies in the news-making ability (you hear about many news events first reported on twitter and relatively few first reported on facebook or google+ or other social networks). And in that sense, they have much to offer.

My point is that regarding news it's more efficient and pratical for the consumer/reader to get them via RSS than via Twitter streams. I am only dealing with the 'getting news' pov here. The producer and the conversationalist issues aren't the same as those of the reader.

Last time I checked the figures, at a Federal level at least, fuel taxes did cover the costs of maintaining the highway system. If the highway system needs more maintenance, increasing the fuel tax by a relatively small amount would likely cover it.

I'm generally not one to argue in favor of taxation, but fuel taxes are essentially user fees for the road system. Unless and until most cars use something as an energy source that's hard to tax in this way, it's a viable, and mostly fair way to pay for roads. There's even a significant correlation between a vehicle's fuel economy and how much damage it does to the road, as both are closely related to weight.
I agree on raising the gas tax. They also need to start thinking about the gas tax equivalent for electric vehicles.

A pay once a year (or even monthly) mileage tax is extremely punitive on poor folks. The tax at the pump works the same way as withholding for income taxes. It allows management in chunks of a tax the can get very high.
My students this summer used python/numpy/scipy with spyder in place of MATLAB. I was pretty impressed with it overall.
Yeah I'm wondering how something like this got through testing. Presumably they run a full suite of tests against every database update, right?
Lou reed - r.i.p.
I have never heard anyone complain about a company taking infosec too seriously, let alone lots of companies.

Dude, my bank/email-host/health-insurer is teh suk. They overestimate the value of data confidentiality. I hope this does not become a new trend. I expect the companies that I deal with to play fast and loose with the data they control. Encrypting Data at rest? C'mon bro, if the data is so important why is it just sitting there with nobody using it.

I think that is very much setting the wrong bar. This sounds awful and cynical, but you have to compare the deaths the website might lead to, to the estimated counterfactual - how many would die in the status quo. The ACA prohibits "pre-existing condition" rejections, and it also prohibits "annual and lifetime maximums" (where the insurance companies say, "Oops, looks like we already paid out a million bucks on your cancer, you're on your own now!") And there's also the expanded Medicaid. So you have to factor in the lives that will be saved by the law.
That DEG bit has nothing to do with them using tobacco, and instead has everything to do with a company in China not using USP Propylene Glycol (as non-USP PG might contain some DEG.)

And just to elaborate on this, non-USP PG is used everywhere. If you cook and use flavorings, take a look in your cupboard and check out the ingredients. PG will no doubt be used as a carrier in some of them. Aside from flavorings it's also used in the manufacture of many foods: my grandfather, who works at a cheese house, told me they use it in their process and it no doubt gets into the production.

The nitrosamines are from the nicotine extraction, which again indicates that they were probably not using USP nicotine. The company that produced that particular e-cigarette is now out of business.

The dose makes the poision; analyze everything around you and you may find a very small percentage of unwanted and dangerous chemicals.

Conflating the e-cigarette industry with the tobacco industry is entirely incorrect. The e-cig industry was not started by a tobacco company, and big tobacco has only recently taken interest by buying up companies and starting their own brands.

Also note, that the amount of DEG and nitrosamines were well within acceptable standards enforced by the FDA. The whole media circus around it was very shady.
Agreed. This is a solution to a non-problem.

The usual argument is that with electrics and hybrids, tax revenue is going down. OK, fine, raise the rate! Plenty of people are still driving internal combustion vehicles. Higher rates will spur adoption of more efficient vehicles, which is a good thing.

If we really want to charge by the mile, add an odometer reading to the smog check. There's no need for a complicated and privacy-invasive system to check how many miles you drive.
Spyder is great for people coming to python from matlab. I reccommend it a lot to complete beginners, as well.

For those not aware, it's basically an offshoot of python(x,y), which is a really nice python distribution for windows.

Personally, I'm far, far too wedded to vim + ipython to use anything else, but it is _really_ nice to be able to point people using windows to python(x,y). I have nothing against commercial distributions like canopy or anaconda (which offer many advantages), but there are a lot of cases where a freely-redistributable option makes more sense.

one thing i like about Apple, despite being closed, old devices get software support, for example iPhone 4 released in 2010 and get the newest version of iOS.

i bought my Android device 2.5 years ago it has only get 2.3.5 , initially it was 2.3.3.

I think you misunderstand. Google's individual apps (like GMail) are closed-source, and only licensed for use on "official" Android builds.
Interesting, if Chris can pull this off it will change the world in a huge way. Having used the build system inside of Google it was somewhat mesmerizing, you really could put together things pretty easily. I suspect there is something similar inside Amazon. But I completely agree that Github has done wonders for making many smaller projects accessible it has not significantly increased our ability to tie them together. That seems to be part of the motivation for the CCAN effort as well, although on a more language specific vector. But as a proof of concept the CPAN system (the one for perl) demonstrates just how powerful this function can be in enabling large scale rapid development.

The flip side though, the monkey in the wrench as they say, is that the projects that participate have to conform to the rules of participation. In CPAN's case its a standardized dependency, build, and install models with required unit tests. So perhaps the first step here is to provide an incentive for clean build processes on a project.
Probably because the risk low, and it would require a good deal of work to maintain such a database. You'd have to keep it updated after every patch, a system may get a different version of the patch based on what is installed on the OS etc.
Uh, I believe that the GHC C-- (Cmm) is one of the dozen different C--es that have nothing in common with this project save for the name.
Embassy Espionage: The NSA's Secret Spy Hub in Berlin

I believe part of the issue is that as hybrids and electric vehicles become more popular, they won't be contributing anything for their road use so we do need to seek alternative means of taxing vehicles. I think the simplest method would be to implement some system of yearly odometer reading as it's low-tech, low-cost, and non-invasive.

Not only is cold seawater usable for cooling, but the article mentions the feasibility of using the sea for power generation.
Time and position based taxation could separate maintenance costs from "increased capacity" costs.

If you tax peak drive time traffic higher, you could shift people to other patterns and not require more lanes to be added to urban highways. This can't be accomplished with a gas tax. (I used to never leave work between 4pm and 6:30pm to avoid my congested outer loop, I could have avoided tax on the unending parade of new lanes added over the past decade. If more people had joined me we could have saved quite a bit in construction costs.)

Gas consumption and road wear is at least correlated in the right direction, typically, but you could also do a more accurate job of accurately taxing for road wear by combining vehicle type, road type, and mileage.
You also have to factor in life expectancy of various cohorts. Poor people will be healthier. Also note that the goal of ACA wasn't entirely to drop deathrates. Unlike before, the combination of pre-existing conditions, and elimination of annual/lifetime maximums means that people are now able to get essential health care without risking bankruptcy from medical bills. There really is a true out-of-pocket maximum now for essential care, for anyone that has health insurance. This was not true before the ACA.
I can change the design and layout my my android phone. Much better than the other competitors.
With the new CAFE mileage goals, tax revenue will fall as cars become more fuel efficient. Or as people buy more electric vehicles.

The deal is that cars actually cause very little damage to the roads. Trucks are the real cause of road damage -- up to 80,000 pounds spread over five axles. Compare that to 4,000 pounds over two axles for a car (or 5-6k pounds for a loaded pickup or SUV) -- the per-axle weight is much higher for a truck.

The trucking lobby is very powerful in Washington, and will resist any effort to increase the diesel motor-fuels tax. They have a powerful argument in their favor: The majority of food in America is delivered by truck. Raise the tax, raise the cost of food.

But even outside of that, there's a simple way to get about a 20% increase in funds for repairing the roads & bridges, and that's to stop the diversion of funds out of the highway trust fund into the general fund. The tax money intended to go to build & maintain our crumbling transportation infrastructure, is instead being fed into the sausage factory where it gets turned into pork.
You have some interesting musings, but let's reify this to one particular "political" (especially in the pejorative sense we use that) decision:

In CMS's integration testing in the week before launch, they tried 200 simultaneous simulated logins, and the system seized up.

It was decided to launch anyway, knowing the system was non-functional. By contrast Oregon and Hawaii declined to launch their state exchanges on Oct 1st.

I submit that those three decisions are intrinsically political and you can't change that.
> They might be fairly harmless, we don't know.

They might be less harmless (though we don't know that yet), but we can be fairly certain that they are least somewhat harmful.

This is not like vaporizing cannabis - the desirable compounds in cannabis are not carcinogenic[0] and actually have cancer-fighting properties, and the main drawbacks to smoking cannabis come from the act of smoking, not from the substance.

Nicotine, on the other hand, is harmful in its own right. It is less damaging to consume pure nicotine without the other harmful effects of smoking, but it is certainly a toxic substance, in the medical sense.

[0] Or poisonous in any other way (even overdose, since the LD50 for delta-9-THC, if one even exists, is so high that nobody has ever measured it reliably).

Ouch. To make things even worse, the executable 'kaspersky_tcpip_fix.exe' to fix the problem is (1) not delivered over HTTPS and (2) not signed by Kaspersky (it is unsigned). So not only are you unable to receive an authenticated update to your antivirus database to fix the problem because your network is down, but you have no assurances that the offline tool provided to you to fix the problem actually came from Kaspersky.

For those that are curious, you can use a tool distributed by Microsoft called Sigcheck to display signature information (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897441.asp...).
