>Compare the Mercurial guidance on publishing repositories..

I don't understand what you are getting at. If you have ssh access to the machine, then you can push or pull from a repo in that machine. It is that simple.

In that page, it details ALL the possible ways you can publish your repos. And goes into much detail regarding the hgweb set up. Setting user permissions etc. That is why it is big. The other two pages does not goes into much details. The git page only describes the ssh method.

I don't know what they use in production, but Matt (mercurial project leader) currently works for FB: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/mpm

FB hired quite a few mercurial hacker, they host Mercurial sprints and have a big attendance from FB devs (e.g. London sprint): http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/2.6sprint
They don't respond to emails. I tried several times.

Although, I landed a really great remote C++ job in 2012 from Who is Hiring thread.

How practical is it to do just that, reinstall the OS, say Kit-kat? If its pretty easy, I wouldn't mind doing it.
Yep, I definitely need to optimize a few of my assets. Hard to tell on my non-retina display, but I hope to optimize eventually.
I'm so confused by the comments here. Did I miss a line where they say AngularJS is being discontinued for AngularDart?

> Also check TortoiseHg.

One company I worked for chose Hg instead of Git precisely because it had better Windows support.

One year and one acquisition later, every developer was on either Linux or OSX and everyone was asking why did we go for Hg if Windows was not a concern...
It doesn't matter - Dart can compile to JavaScript.

When it might matter is if there are apps (like games) that run faster in a Dart VM than in javascript. Anyway though, even Chrome doesn't include a Dart VM yet by default, so no big deal yet.
If you go to any social function where alcohol is involved, it's your own responsibility to limit your alcohol intake

Some things are systematic. You are expected to drink, and you comply to fit in. I can relate to what she writes about boundary crossing, because on some evenings I don't drink at all: most people who don't know me well and notice I'm not drinking then try to get me to drink, or at least feel bad about my behavior. I can cope with that, but for people who are trying to be popular it's more difficult. In the end it's always your responsibility, but only few people have enough power to resist the expectations of their peers.

A related problem is that many men think that the main purpose of going to a bar or club is to hit on women (instead of socializing in general or dancing). Which creates a lot of pressure on them to end the evening "successfully", even if they themselves are uncomfortable with this particular way of starting a relationship.

The stuff built for finance is definitely interesting. John and I (two of the people working on this) previously worked at a fintech startup and worked with a closed source time series db called OneTick. It was super fast, but its API work for analytics/events use cases. Great for fast moving market data though.
In a public place like a coffee shop or something, probably safe.

Ask HN: What tool do you use to manage your small side projects?
I'd like to hear what people on HN use for bug / requirement tracking etc. I'm currently writing everything down in a plain text file because project management tools seem to be an overkill for small projects.
GET Your FUN TODAY
Not sure if it helps, but here's my workflow:

- Google Calendar for maintaining appointments;
- A notepad (the paper version, yes) for quick notes, I use it to really "picture" the things I think/talk about;
- A whiteboard as a to do list, and for when the notepad is too small;

As you can see, I use no apps at all. This is because I try to separate maintaining my workflow from the workflow itself, if you can follow me.

Well Dart can be compiled to JavaScript. What's not open source about Dart or Angular?
How is Google supposed to check for what is/isn't "sqli"? The proposal reminds me of Yahoo! Mail's old "medireview" problem, where it filtered emails containing the string "eval":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medireview#Blocked_emails

Even if you look for somewhat complete SQL strings, if I want to host http://try-sql-in-your-browser.io/?sql=select+foo+from+bar, I'd want Google to index it.
> some other colleagues had misused a forced push

Git has a learning curve.

Atlassian Stash comes with a plugin that exposes a "Disable Force Push" toggle. I have that on for all the repositories it hosts. Nobody complains that force push doesn't work (~10 devs) because if you're doing force push you're probably doing something wrong.
I don't understand why you all are so salty about this, it seems pretty good to me. Some decent jobs here, which is really more than I can say for some other job boards.
Convergent evolution?
I can vouch for your numbers. My music start-up was one of Softlayer's early customers. We stayed with them for a while before moving to an even cheaper host. In all, we were pushing over 100TB and paying under $3,000/mo for everything(web, storage, db servers).

This was over 5 years ago. I am sure things would be even cheaper now.
Sure, I feel for the guy and I'm sure they are very passionate people, I don't doubt that. But the problem with "off the cuff" on the internet is that lots of people read it and it's not in internet memory. They're running a business and sometimes you need to take the personal touch out of it a little.

What would have been better, from my perspective, would have been after reading the post saying "hey, these guys have a much better product that what Google has launched, it is much more mature and much more thought out. I think I'll give them a try and tell my friends to do the same". Turn a negative into a positive, that's all he can do at this point.
> Secondly, Google is a big company and some teams within it wanted to use Dart, whereas otheres want to use vanila javascript and Angular, so now you have both.

Specifically who?
BrendenEich said this of Dart, 2 years ago on HN, and might help explain OP's sentiment:

For the record, I'm not worried about JS being replaced by a better language. I am working to do that within Ecma TC39, by evolving JS aggressively.

The leaked Google doc's assertion that this is impossible and that a "clean break" is required to make significant improvements is nonsense, a thin rationale for going it alone rather than cooperating fully.

The big issue I have with Dart, which you seem to consider inconsequential, is whether Google forks the web developer community, not just its own paid developers, with Dart, and thereby fragments web content.

A Dart to JS compiler will never be "decent" compared to having the Dart VM in the browser. Yet I guarantee you that Apple and Microsoft (and Opera and Mozilla, but the first two are enough) will never embed the Dart VM.

So "Works best in Chrome" and even "Works only in Chrome" are new norms promulgated intentionally by Google. We see more of this fragmentation every day. As a user of Chrome and Firefox (and Safari), I find it painful to experience, never mind the political bad taste.

Ok, counter-arguments. What's wrong with playing hardball to advance the web, you say? As my blog tries to explain, the standards process requires good social relations and philosophical balance among the participating competitors.

Google's approach with Dart is thus pretty much all wrong and doomed to leave Dart in excellent yet non-standardized and non-interoperable implementation status. Dart is GBScript to NaCl/Pepper's ActiveG.

Could Google, unlike Microsoft ten or so years ago, prevail? Only by becoming the new monopoly power on the web. We know how that story ends.

EDIT: updated to the long form quote, for additional context.
I had the same comment about the stairs above the food area. Even if occupants remove their shoes, there is always dust and dirt being tracked around (especially in a house that doesn't have an in-out transition area such as a covered entrance). Partially enclosing the stairs would help, but even then you could still have dust and dirt floating down. I also see this bad design in sailboats (another exercise in small living), where the companion-way steps go over the counter or sink.

For the bed in the loft, I think the open areas are more about wasted space. The downstairs has plenty of light, so the opening could be replaced with shelving or closed storage. The lost windows could be replaces with a skylight.

As far as I can tell, the IRS (US tax collecting agency) requires a tax withholding on anything a US company pays an employee/contractor abroad

That can't be true for contractors, or sites like Elance and oDesk would not be able to operate as easily as they do. A contractor is responsible for paying his own taxes, whether that is to the IRS in the US, or the tax authority in his own country.
thank you, I always wondered but never asked.
They're never really going to make it big just by making it to the top of HN, are they? They seriously need to be looking at a bigger audience base than that... I presume the link has been making the rounds on reddit et al too?
As was discussed in the original thread, every detail of the neo900 is simply a footnote to the Only Thing That Matters(TM), which is:

What is the baseband processor and why was it chosen ?

The real win here would be if the designers of the neo900, in conjunction with GSM hackers, or projects like osmocombb, chose a baseband processor that they had good expectations of being able to break open, and were working towards an open baseband even if it's not open yet.

That would give us a new, modern equivalent to the calypso baseband which is open and hackable, and is the de facto standard for osmocombb running on handsets. A modern, LTE capable "calypso" would be a game changer.

But nobody from the project has said anything yet ...

I don't know why this is getting so much media attention as if it's some new innovative concept. Airbnb is just a new marketing platform for these types of listings. I've subleased two apartments multiple times using Craigslist alone (free, and I can use my judgment to screen for ideal tenants). Sites like HomeAway have done vacation rentals for a long time. Serviced apartments and extended stay hotels have existed for ages, allowing short-term stays and short leases, usually targeted towards corporate employees who are temporarily on assignment or relocating.

It's not a new industry at all, but inside the tech echo chamber people want to act like it is so they can pat themselves on the back for their "disruption."
You can't make an HTTP request with a spoofed IP without being in position on the network to do a MiTM. The TCP handshake won't complete, so you can't send the HTTP request.
I assume you mean intracompany email. And you haven't changed to mutt? Mutt is like elm with fifteen years of clever development by people who actually like mail.
The numpy style interface might be interesting. The problem is that it would probably kill performance to marshal into a Python process. Unless there's some way to embed numpy?

Supporting custom functions is definitely something we want to do.

Linus works with git because Linux kernel development uses git. You have, by default, thousands of pretty savvy developers working with git.

Over the years I have owned 1 blackberry, 3 models of iPhone, and 4 android devices.
About 6 months ago my phone began restarting constantly through out the day. Instead of fixing it I decided to turn it off.

The decision was a combination of a lot of things- I save money. I am aware of my surroundings. I think. A lot. Sometimes I talk to people on the train. Or I will print out a paper and not bring anything else with me. "You read this you lazy no-attention mfucka or you sit here and do nothing". I am learning to draw- also on paper. I do not care which wireless company has been revealed this week to have a direct back door for the NSA. No one ever calls me. This is a big deal for me. Even when I had a phone, there is rarely necessity or cause for disruptive synchronous communication.

And, for everything I miss about phone ownership, there is almost always something good that came out of it. I miss maps. But I also never learned where anything was. I always depended on my phone even after living in a city for years.

I miss being able to immediately find the results to some shitty singing compeition show. Others miss me being more responsive- my response time is now ~5-10 minutes during the work day but on the weekend it might be a few hours. But really, its ok.

I would consider a really nice dumb device though.
That actually describes me. I hate dicking around with drivers and the like (though I've heard Ubuntu got better), so I like the unixy OSX quite a lot.

I could not agree more. Running on Amazon instead of let's say OVH incurred maybe 10x costs.
At the same time they probably didn't have an adequate pricing and freemium ratio and/or didn't do enough to market their good product. I could have been a customer but was not aware of everpix.
Yeah maybe he should join the majority of the tech world that doesn't feel obligated to be everyone and their mother's free tech support.

Personally I'm pretty comfortable taking a quick glance and saying "Looks like it's not working, I don't really know anything about these, you should try the tech support number" without going all nuts or passive aggressive on innocent friends and family.

As an alternative to Skype, you could use "vLine link": https://vline.com.

I think Gruber (ironically) said it best:

"Everpix sponsored the DF RSS feed twice this year, which is how they first came to my attention. ... Really a shame to see them close."

There's the problem. They spent $16K on Daring Fireball sponsorship instead of doing basic research to discover where they should actually be targeting their marketing efforts.

Your best idea for acquiring more users is to sponsor one of the most expensive RSS feeds in the world? Sponsoring DF is typically what companies do when their accountant says "you need to get rid of some cash, stat."

If Everpix hadn't yet found a path to sustainability, doing something like sponsoring Daring Fireball as a tactic to acquire more users is a good indicator of some very poor business decisions.
I don't think that's true at all. I just locked my laptop using ctrl + shift + power and was unable to unlock it using the app.
Dedicated servers don't really give you permanent storage either. Granted, it is more permanent than EC2 instance storage, but hard drives do get corrupted. You still need backup and replication for a robust solution.

You don't know Singapore or HK very well. They are very good at being a transparent government, but guanxi is still needed to get things done.
I think old RVs are flimsy and poorly insulated, and good ones hold their value and can still be used as vehicles. The idea of recycling shipping containers is really just a designer's dream--you only ever see new-looking containers in their images. Decomissioned containers are probably rusty and/or bent/damaged and thus unsuitable for a dwelling--if they were good enough for living in, they're probably still usable for shipping. And I haven't done the math, but coverting a shipping container to a living space (insulation, plumbing+electric, doors+windows) seems like more waste than recycling the steel into a new container.

Cob/earth and/or locally sourced logs are great from a sustainability point of view (though not available in all locations), but they don't make portable housing. I would think that a house such as this, with its small size wouldn't be too expensive even if made with sustainably harvested wood and other building materials--you could also substitute recycled building materials.

If you are employing people, that may be true, but if you're paying a corporation, even if it's a one-person corporation, I can't see why income tax would come into it. It's one company paying another for services. I imagine the parent was thinking of contractor companies, not individual contractors working as short-term employees, in which case income tax wouldn't apply.

My 50 year old yoga instructor told me this morning that she needed me to help her set up Helpouts (after I introduced her to it yesterday). I'll ask her to get in touch with Google and post back how helpful she found them. She isn't totally up and up on tech things so this should be a good experiment.
