I believe you have left out an important point. The correct failure mode is very dependent on the problem. For example, an off-course rocket just after launch may need to be blown up, because the primary concern is not "the mission" but range safety. While a rocket which lost an engine but is near LEO can likely recover by going to a lower orbit.

What distinguishes avionics software from most "normal" software is the extensive (and expensive) analysis to determine the best fail-safe behavior for a wide variety of failure modes. Sometimes "fail-safe" means "self-destruct."
This is easily the best (and possibly only good) argument I've seen in favour of traditional cabs. The right kind of regulation can dramatically improve accessibility to people who are otherwise at risk of becoming marginalised.

Unregulated competition always has the risk of marginalising minorities because they might be too small to be an attractive market.

hub is just a bunch of shortcuts for operating on github repositories, rather than do it all by hand operation by operation.
Integer overflow can be a causal cause of buffer overflow. Like this for example:

read(fd, &header, sizeof(header));
int total_len = header.data_len + header.code_len;
char *data = malloc(total_len);
read(fd, data, total_len);

Now, the attacker crafts the file and.. there's your buffer overflow which is a direct consequence of undetected integer overflow [i.e., the program being allowed to proceed].

How on earth do you think bitcoin mining pools work (as an extremely trivial example). They coordinate ranges between a number of workers. The stored size of those ranges is miniscule in comparison to the data of the hashes between those ranges calculated on each 'miner'. These 'coordinators' absolutely work as a centralised 'commodity' storage server (or database) resource for 500x+ parallelism.

'Big Data' means 'Big Data', not 'Big Storage'. They are completely different things.

Of course regulation is needed. Insurance, car-standard, driver skill, all of that has to be known by the customer merely by the fact that you are stepping into a taxi.

Can there be too much regulation, too archaic? Sure, but I can't see how that motivates sidestepping it entirely.

In Stockholm, taxis (normal ones) are regulated in terms of insurance etc. but unlike most other cities, taxi prices are not regulated. This hasn't meant lower prices through healthy competition but rather hundreds of scam companies charging 10x the fares of the 2-3 largest companies that have 95% of the market. I miss the days of more regulation, but won't use Uber merely because they don't guarantee union wages etc like the other companies do.

Are the taxi drivers allowed to use both Uber and the medallion system?
Are you sure? If I'm hit by a drunk driver I can sue the bar. All you need is one judge that thinks Uber has some culpability and you can sue away.
On the other side, if I were running a business on donations I'd sleep far happier at night and concentrate on my goals a lot more with smaller steady recurring donations. As opposed to being on a constant funding drive.

OP author here...

The result is the same, but I've found the `git am` workflow to be much smoother vs. mucking around with remotes. Some of that could be due to the nature of the OSS project I work on - ActiveMerchant - since just in the last month we've had 30+ unique contributors, and most of them have contributed a single change.

My general recommendation is to make sure you try out the `git am` flow for a bit, but then just do what works best for you.
That's the definition of "referentially transparent", not declarative. I don't think the FP community has or attempts a shared definition of "declarative". It's just sort of a feeling and, as such, has all the associated woo woo properties.

For a counterpoint from a (contentious) expert, try http://existentialtype.wordpress.com/2013/07/18/what-if-anyt.... Here, Harper lays out 8 definitions of "declarative" which might have force. You don't have to agree that this list is comprehensive, but I know that I've personally heard arguments using most of those "definitions".

In http://existentialtype.wordpress.com/2013/07/22/there-is-suc... Harper argues a particular definition of "declarative" near to his heart. The critical could argue that his earlier list was aimed at nothing more than exposing this definition. Harper's idea is that declarative languages are ones with "mathematical variables" instead of just "computer science-y assignables or slots".

I don't care whether or not that's your definition of declarative as well, but I think variable v. assignable is a very nice, hard distinction between languages.

>The simple solution, though, is to require pull requests to come in a feature branch, and flat out reject any that target master. /shrug

I came here just to say this. This article repeats an annoyingly religious argument about "declarative programming". It's so dogmatic and skewed a definition that it seems to have excluded the canonical example of declarative programming, prolog. Which, for any serious program, relies heavily on cuts and non-referentially transparent I/O.

The problem with cabs is the information asymmetry. You dot know before you're getting in how good their knowledge is, this means that knowledgeable drivers can't charge more and you get a 'market of lemons'. This is a classic form of market failure, and is a strong case for regulation.

From my point of view, if you're competing heavily on design then you're in the business of a commodity and hence have no better technological or use-case differentiator... And/or you're swept up by the cult of design as of late.

The Google Apps Developer blog had a post back in 2011 showing how to do this: http://googleappsdeveloper.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/gmail-snoo...
Keep in mind that `git am` is not identical to pulling the commits. You might be applying the commits on a different base, and certainly your committer field will be different (not to mention any substantive changes you make). As a result, the sha1 of the commits you create will be different than those of the original submitter.

This makes life harder for the submitter, because they cannot ask a simple question: were my commits merged into the upstream repository? Because no, they weren't; but commits that are the moral equivalent were. Usually `git log --cherry-pick` can correlate the two, but not always.

We do use `git am` upstream when working on git itself, for the reasons you indicate in the article (plus we like mailing-list based review). But it does come at a cost in managing the various versions of patches.

I always use "--no-ff" when merging topic branches to master. The advantage is that you can keep individual commits on the topic branch readable and still get an overview of the changes between two releases with "git log --first-parent".

You can also see the set of changes in a topic merge easily with "git log ${merge}^2..${merge}^1" whereas if you use a fast-forward merge it's not at all obvious which sets of commits are related.

I go even a bit further: don't bring me solutions, just tell me what makes your life difficult.

As a tools developer, I observe that user-provided solutions almost never address anything outside their specific problem, which is potentially only one of many things the feature with the issue is designed to address.

Some of my colleagues tend to point to user feedback as gospel, including the ways suggested to "fix" the issue. But those fixes are often myopic and laden with technical debt.

But I will never disbelieve a claim that something is confusing, or hard to use (almost never, anyway; some people are idiots). Just don't be offended if I don't fix it in the way you came up with.

You're right about buses being cheap if you can get a direct route. However during peak periods that will potentially take hours, easily 2-3 times as long as cycling.

I also agree the value of London transport is excellent, but I'm just saying it's not cheap. Especially if you are looking at tube/train/tram/bus transfers it starts to add up shockingly fast. Even with a travelcard I'd be paying £141.40/month which is just too much to swallow when I only have a 6-mile commute and arrive in the same amount of time as the fastest tube. Plus with the crowds, disruptions, strikes, "persons under a train" and other random commuter trauma I just can't say enough good things about cycling in London.
