It seems like a lot of the ruby community would use PAaS solutions. Even if they wanted to run their own server It's highly unlikely that they would be using a shared godaddy server. Not really that big of a deal.
I mean let's put this in perspective on the whole snapchat issue - they lost a list of usernames.... which could theoretically be used to match to the person's other usernames from other sites.

It's just not crazy useful... you can do the same thing by scrapping facebook or linkedin without even having to "hack" them. There's companies that expose as much through open APIs.
Facebook Says Goodbye to a Controversial Ad Feature
me too. the only reason i can see is laziness when looking at history because merges clutter it, but even then the fix should be in some front-end tool and not git itself.

as a real world example bitbucket added a cool feature recently where they grey out merge commits.

personally i love rich and complete history, including merge commits - any practice that damages that is something i'll be highly reticent about adopting.

GoDaddy supported SOPA, their advertising campaigns are notoriously sexist, their CEO once posted a "white man's burden" video of him "saving some poor Africans" by killing an elephant, and they're constantly in the news for sleazy anti-consumer business tactics that add up to an awful, socially irresponsible corporation.

They've since recanted their SOPA support, but I think it'll take more than a calculated business move to regain any consumer trust. Personally, I'd advise being familiar with the organizations that have ever supported SOPA, and cutting ties with them for any future endeavors:

The thing about this joke is that the accountant is (kinda) right. Suppose they pass one field with about 1000 sheep and lots and lots of fields with ~5 sheep. Someone who thinks "about 1000" + 5 = "about 1000" is going to get a very wrong answer, and someone who thinks "about 1000" + 5 = "about 1005" is going to do much better.

This is also why, when combining floating-point values of different widths, it is better to say single + double -> double than single + double -> single, and why the concept of "significant figures" as commonly taught in schools is dangerous.
But there has to be a philosophical distinction right? Some way of clearly marking where the state's power ends and individual rights begin. Otherwise libertarianism is just a matter of "I know it when I see it", which means people will twist a philosophy of small government to fit their particular political needs.
Cash is a hedge against deflation. Many vast fortunes have been made by people who held cash, rode deflation down, and then bought assets at the bottom. You want a substantial fraction of your portfolio as cash to hedge deflation, just as you want a fraction in hard assets to hedge stagflation. You of course want a fraction in income generating ventures and equities that do very well in an environment of growth, as advocated here, but failure to hedge the other two conditions has often proved ruinous.

We haven't had a serious bout with deflation in 80 years so people have grown overly biased against cash. We haven't had a serious bout with stagflation in 40 years. Historically, deflationary and stagflationary downturns have been common. All the points in the article are highly valid, but it seems to overlook these critical reasons to hold quite a bit of cash and hard assets.
You are using the word "restrictions" incorrect. Words has meaning, but incorrect usages of them only create sentences without meaning.

For a restriction to happen, you got to have permission in the first place. Since you do not have any permission, a copyright license can not in any form add a restriction. It is not possible under the English language.

Permission can be granted under conditions, also called requirements. A sale for example is to exchange an asset under the condition that the consumer can pay. Its not valid English to say that its an exchange of an asset under the restriction that the consumer can pay.

Your insistence on using incorrect English only paint a picture of someone with a agenda. Words has meaning, and you are trying to ignore it. Please stop.

I think it is a tongue twister designed for observation of pronunciation. I read Edith Skinner's "Speaking with Distinction" and there are a lot of similar tongue twisters for practicing vowels and consonants clusters.

I always hated this joke because to me understanding binary does not mean understanding two's complement. Thus the joke took a on a meta-joke: using two bits to represent a binary state instead of one bit. If the joke teller understood binary in their heart they would use a proper enumeration without just using integers.

Also the proper syntax is 0b10 not 10.
That is correct. This only impacts GoDaddy hosting accounts.
Both wealth and money (as defined in the article) can be distributed. What good is money if a person doesn't have a "wealth of knowledge" in order to make good choices with that money?

Freedom comes from within.

Your friend's young. He has plenty of time to accomplish everything he wants to (and what he wants to accomplish will change over time). Freedom comes from within. It's important that he realises that he's already enjoying his freedom to have a stable and settled life, start a family and invest in its future by buying a house and growing his 401k.

Maybe he needs to start putting a little money by every month towards a sabbatical fund so that, a few years down the line, he can afford to take 6 or 12 months off work and do the stuff he doesn't feel free to do now.

Rebasing public branches is no big deal as long as it's a personal branch. This should be obvious to the others you're working with, if not, your team probably needs to communicate more.

The only reason I can think of for others to pull your personal topic branches are to review it locally or help you debug something. Others shouldn't be branching off of your personal topic branches to work on them, use feature flags instead.

This is a fantastic idea. Even the "nice" git tools like Github's desktop app don't abstract over tracked files and branches and all the confusing git plumbing. It'd be so much better to just be able to click "I'm working on a new feature" and "I'm done with the new feature."

I believe that version control should really get out of your way, and right now, that definitely isn't the case. To me, all the arguments about git's power just sound like "why use Dropbox when you can just sync your files with FTP?"
After figuring out what would fulfill him, he should consider starting his own venture doing exactly that. A venture is my material representation of freedom, his may differ -- the take away is that freedom is what enables you to get unstuck. I used to be in a similar position, making good money as a tech exec and feeling stuck. The freedom to impact the world, in my chosen fashion, was the cure and my only regret was that I didn't figure that out sooner. The most surprising thing to me was that the money side of things accompanied the impact I was able to achieve, without making it a focus.
Without detection? Are you serious?
There are a number of things to consider. Finding accomplishment in life is something many struggle with.

Perhaps your friend would feel some accomplishment by:

* Mentoring new startups

* Mentoring disadvantaged youth

* Religion

* Community service/projects

* Becoming involved in local government service

* Horticulture

* Woodwork/old car restoration/old computer restoration

* Adopt an elderly neighbor as a "grandparent", that he goes and speaks with on a regular (at least weekly) basis

* Read the works of the greats, genre open

* Pick up painting or other artistic ventures

* Set a goal that's a lot of fun. For example, I know of a friend who has a life goal to hike each US state's highest peak or point. He's made it about 15 in, and has a lot left to go.

* Get involved with the local Boy Scouts/Girl Scouts program (related to mentoring), if Boy Scouts go through Woodbadge (extensive leadership training)

* Join a nonprofit board

Each of these points are kind of getting at a main point: live for something. Work and career are certainly intended to be a vocation, but they aren't always going to be an avocation. When avocation and vocation conflict, I believe a lot of people get dissatisfied.

Of course, I could also be completely wrong and a therapist is advisable. But it's something to consider.
> Colleges are investigated all the time for outright bribing promising students.

I think you mean "promising athletes". I guarantee colleges do not care how these young people perform as students.
Agreed. I look forward to the day when twice-yearly visits to a therapist are as socially-accepted and -expected as visits to the dentist.

Since you said he's always working on some startup to become the next millionare I'm assuming he is surrounding himself in that culture. Wouldn't he also be on HN?

Anyway, although it's hard to sympathize for someone that seems financially stable with a wife AND a newborn to not have a purpose in life, try surrounding him with friends and activities. What are his hobbies (besides startup life)? Tell him to watch some TED talks discussing this same thing. Hell, volunteer! The culture shock of helping those in need should make one self aware of their luck and privileges vs. immersing yourself around people who strive for the next big thing.
All of these are using TN panels. TN's bad viewing angles in a 28" size must be a sight to behold.

I think private branches are just branches not pushed to remote. Isn't the problem here now that you have a critical point of failure and at risk of losing everything if you're not pushing things to remote nightly. I always advocate regardless of pushing branches to remote and getting things off of your local drives if possible.
Ok, while you are right that this exact scenario (of an entity approaching a dev in a public place while at a conference and asking them to weaken something) does not happen very often, you need to understand that the person you are replying to is saying that in general, it is well known and well documented that various three letters have been active in weakening implementations in all kinds of projects over the years. Remember the clipper chip, Promis, OpenBSD's IPsec stack, NSA_key, or any of the more recent ones we have heard of, and for every one of those there are probably 10 that adhere to their NSL's or other forms of gag orders.

Your snarky and snide tone makes it seem like you think they never try to get people to implement backdoors or weaken implimentations (for side-channels), and I'm sure that's not what you meant, right?

San Francisco's New Gold Rush: How Techies Are Transforming The City
The article is flawed. It distinguishes between having money and making money - this is very questionable.

From a scientific view wealth == money. Wealth is measured in money, something is worth x dollar. How this money is stored is another question, it can be stock, gold or whatever.

From a philosophical point of view wealth can be whatever you want it to be. I think the view of the author is quite sane and i agree with him on that; but please don't tell me , this is the right definition of wealth.

BTW I am reading Hackers & Painters right now and pg has a similar concept of wealth.

>I would go a step further and ask whether or not that $100 is better in the hands of a wealthy person or in those of the poor person. Certainly the latter can put it to great use buying necessities of life

There has been a lot of thought and data on this already. The answer is in - giving money to poor people is much "better" as the money travels much further. They buy the "necessities of life" quite quickly, and the money changes hands several times, benefiting other (mostly poor) people along the way. Wheras in the hands of a rich person the money is unlikely to do that. It mostly goes into an investment as there are no necessities of life urgently needed.

Coincidentally we're not tying the money supply to stuff we dig out of the ground, growing the money supply is now only as difficult as turning on the printing press. Unless that changes, I don't see how deflation is a serious threat anymore.
Clojure isn't new. Not to take a dig at Rich Hickey, but everything he is doing with immutable objects was done more than a decade ago by the likes of Henry Baker (http://home.pipeline.com/~hbaker1/home.html). Of course, everything that has ever been tried at all has been tried in some variant of Lisp/Scheme at one point in time.

Stop while you're behind. Nobody believes that Henry Baker's papers are equal to what Rich Hickey has done with immutable objects. Geez, get a grip on reality man.

Man I'm in the same boat, I'm renting a house and it can be such a pain in the ass sometimes. It's a good anxiety enhancer for me ;-)

Loads of work to make the property a good rental and then it's also loads of work to get the good tenants (especally in the beginning).

Now that they are settled I have more leeway but I know that more work is coming next.

As you said I would also recommend rentals to people that can either dedicate big chunks of time to it or to get it managed by someone else (by the risk of losing quite a big deal).

I don't know if I would do this again, sometimes I think I should have put the money in stocks and be done with it.
Only played game #3. Really like it. Two suggestions:
- I'd put a small countdown (2-1 go) or something when we die because otherwise you die and already miss the right timing to do this level. So sometimes I had to voluntary let it die 2-3 times to have a good start.

- Would be way cooler to be able to jump on top of the boxes.. but you have to land perfectly on it.
