And yet it happens all the time. There are many units in my city in very desirable locations that have been empty for a long time. Often they do temporarily allow people to live there ('anti-squat'), but they can be kicked out at a month's notice and have basically no rights.

What makes this so frustrating is that anyone moving to the city has to either pay exorbitant amounts of money for tiny apartments or rooms, or live far out of the center.

Keeping branches up to date can be a pain i.e. pull master into local feature branch then push up to remote feature branch (although gpp command in the preszto git module gets around this a little but you still need to update your working copy https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto/tree/master/modules/...)

BUT separate steps for this is good because it allows for better inspection and the ability to recover

+1. I am an active contributor to Mozilla. I contributed to its localization works (ff & ffos) out of freewill. And they later contacted me to focus on some other works. By the way, they pushed a lot of work to me this time around (new lang. translations & projects). And when I asked that they make it a contract OR that I should be compensated, they change the tune of the correspondence. Now, they are giving the work to an agency, which will heavily charge them. They no doubt wanted to start/keep exploiting our team.
I know how terrible financial matters could be in Mozilla. Nevertheless, I like their products & some of its employees/teams.

Obviously the manufacturer will try to optimize the BOM, and that includes the cost of the zipper. Just as someone spent an incredible number of hours assembling that plant, someone is also struggling over the BOM everywhere that zipper is used. And you can bet plants that make only indented zippers with even less labor exist.

What I came away with was first, the science of plant automation is far, far more advanced than computer science :-) Second, they've eliminated an incredible about of manual labor already.

Using factory automation as a model, it's interesting to think how software could do the same thing to the marketplace.

I agree with @nl, as long as the worker is there voluntarily, I don't see a problem with a market existing for sweating the small details. The upstream market competes by optimizing their BOM, so if the zipper isn't worth the cost, it will phase out.

To argue that it shouldn't be worth the cost because the job seems to boring for you is odd. There are many people who would be very happy to have such a job. If and when there is a future where there does not exist a large number of people would be overqualified for such a job, let me know.

You could use this to have different status things overlaid on the screen.

The pattern is apparent - once you become rich, you don't want to donate millions to governments in taxes. Anyway you do, but trying to minimize it. Be it for their lack of any transparency how cash will be used (mostly wasted in very ineffective way). It doesn't matter if it's famous or unknown rich.

Now what to do with this situation... There are too many tax havens out there (Suisse, Monaco, Channel islands, Luxemburg, Malta etc. - this is just good ol' europe). There will always be rich, powerful people no matter what system you come up with (sheep/wolf human nature responsible here). If you tax them too much, they will flee (ie Tina Turner) and you lose all the money for good. Those are clever people, having best financial advisors out there.

Heck, if I had hard earned/inherited millions or more, I wouldn't want to support some war efforts/failing eu social policies either. If feeling generous, you can always give back more directly ie by building some school, avoiding bureaucrats that eat away most of cash. YOu know, the richest man in the world style. There is a good reason why he didn't donate all his money to something existing, but managing investments by himself (maybe not exact description, but you get the point).

My understanding of your concern of rebase is that if they are gonna change that (or get rid of that), it will be a change of the workflow instead of just a simplification of it.

I used to rely on merge other than rebase when my local tree is diverted. That usually ended up with two commits (one for my local changes, one for the merge). But later I learned to use rebase. It would only result in one commit, which I feel is kinda nice coz you have a cleaner and more correct(time-wise) commit history. I don't know if this is the fundamental purpose of rebase. Advice welcome.

This wasn't completely clear to me from the get-go, but this organization and it's boards are an effort put forward by the Linaro organization. That, to me, makes the product much more relevant and reliable. I wouldn't buy a board from a random startup with no track records of providing support and updates for their devices.

Linaro is an engineering non-profit, support by many of the major players, to improve support for the ARM ecosystem. This includes improvements to GCC, LLVM, the Linux kernel, various libc's, AOSP, ...
They also provide Ubuntu, Debian and Android RFS images for supported reference boards.

I understand that they went with a Mali GPU, since it is the reference GPU design from ARM. However, it is unfortunate that there is no open source driver for this platform. Maybe this will change in the future.
> Wouldn't this be a good opportunity to get some assholes

It would, if there was an actual will to "get some assholes" in the first place.

As reported by Private Eye several years ago, as soon as the current government got into power, several outstanding (and huge) tax-dodging cases were quietly settled, largely in favour of such dodgers. Once called on it, they reshuffled a couple of appointees and said it wouldn't happen again. I wouldn't be surprised to find the new bosses were told to put this list in the wrong drawer and accidentally forget about it entirely.

The previous government would have probably used the list for a fundraising round - if you can sell peerages, you might as well sell pardons. The next government will likely replace a few appointees here and there, and if pressed they will claim cases are too old to be efficiently investigated, it was all the previous guys' fault, etc etc.
Wow, a crashed site presenting a web architecture surely isn't classy! Sorry about that, I'm working on it.
Is it "polemic" now to expect that people pay taxes, and get punished when they try to cheat their way out of it?
I think it's worth noting the difference between a website and an application. I like it when docs, news sites, blogs, etc. work without JavaScript. I consider it very important that my own blog work without JS.

If I'm making a game that's not turn-based, going JS-free is literally impossible.
For a lot of applications you could in theory make a JS-free version, but it would require making a COMPLETELY separate implementation of the application, and for a lot of people that's just not justifiable. Most people simply don't have the time and resources to achieve this, so obviously they'll favor the larger chunk of users.

For example, let's say I want to make an image editor. I can imagine some ways in which I could possibly implement certain functionality without any JS, but the experience would be ABYSMAL. Seriously, consider implementing even a MICROSCOPIC subset of the functionality provided by Photoshop with JUST server-side rendering.
This so much. People consistently complain about PHPs' stdlib and how the naming and parameter order are not streamlined. Git is very similar to PHP in this case. It's not something that's going to keep people from using it but it is one of those warts that people just have accepted.

Paying taxes is not "donating money". You are required by law to pay them. You get certain things in exchange, like laws that protect your property.

If you think that you shouldn't be forced to pay taxes, why do you think that other laws should be enforced? If rich people steal from the state, why shouldn't poor people just take what they want from the rich?

If you avoid taxes, you are stealing from everybody.
Ask HN: Advice on advanced learning of perforce
Thanks to mainly my open source experience, my first job last year and a lot of learning on my own via excellent resources I got to a point where I really feel comfortable in git. I wouldn't say I'm a master, but I do feel like I can do whatever I have to do without having troubles with using the system in the first place.

For my new job that I started last Summer, I had to start working with perforce (at least for my work). I learned the basics of it in college, so I was quite OK with using it as a basic user. However I do like the command line and would like to avoid the Perforce GUI completely if possible. I always had the feeling that perforce was made to use to use with the GUI, but I think that's just my perspective and so I would love to be proven wrong on this.

So my question is, do you know about any excellent resources for perforce that learn you both the underlying technology of perforce (why does x work in a certain way and why is that good, etc...). Also learning about how to do them via command line rather then the GUI.

For now my only resource is the official documentation of Perforce, which I can't complain to much about to be fair. However I do hope there are other, better, resources available.

With Git for example, I learned the advanced stuff not because I knew what the commands were, but more because books like Git Pro and other resources really explain how everything works and comes together.

Once you get into dealing with large amounts of money across the world, there's a lot of things that seem like they should be illegal that aren't.

While this case is probably rather clear-cut, most cases are not. The Government doesn't actually want to put people in jail (what problem would that solve?), unlike the US Government - it just wants its money. The law seems reasonable to get that.

The point I was trying to get across is that by cross-compiling from C/C++ with Emscripten, static type information can be used to give native performance, that a program written directly in Javascript wouldn't. It's still AOT in that sense - it's not like JIT where only hot bits of code get converted to native to code, and only then when some heuristics have determined what actual types the code ends up dealing with at runtime.
A chat with Yossi Vardi about Israel and future trends in tech
A bit annoying that this piece repeats the fundamental mystery of the design:

The device runs off of a 12 volt DC adapter, and the clock’s timing is cleverly inferred from the US standard of running electricity at 60 cycles per second.

Of course, one major characteristic of DC is that it has no "cycles per second", so the above makes absolutely no sense. If the clock is fed by a standard (external) DC supply, it doesn't have access to the cycles of the main power so it can't rely on those.

I would have hoped that someone writing for Make would react when writing that, and actually do some journalism and dig up how it really works.
Nice textbook phrases, now let's get back to the real world out there for a while.

Do you even understand the simple truth, that most of the times no law is broken in tax optimalizations? Only when it does, it gets highly publitized. Usually, tax systems are full of loopholes and accountants just need to be creative enough (and yes, they are...). Without breaking any specific law, by logic "what is not explicitly forbidden is allowed".

Personally, I do believe in minimal and fair taxation. If you have system where successful people have over 50% tax burden (quite common in progressive tax systems), you can expect many attempts to get away from it. Just human nature. Your textbook phrases won't help much, do they.

Just look at Switzerland itself - most democratic country in the world, one of the richest (and their wealth ain't based on banking secrecy - whole banking industry brings roughly 12% into GDP... tourism and high quality exports are primes here). Low personal and corporate taxation, and the country and system just works. Why cannot rest of europe work this way? How much tax evasion is within Switzerand? Almost none...
Is that really true?! If so it seems that a winning strategy is to actively try to dodge the system but be prepared to pay it back when you know you'll get found out. That makes no sense.

Why would that same rule not apply to other crime?

> Not in my experience.. The europeans i know usually write € 123,40.

Your experience is a minority, and most likely sourced in a country which doesn't use the Euro as its currency (like the UK)

By and large, European locales (this is orthogonal to language) put the € sign at the same place they put their previous currency signs, and for most of them it's after: the Dutch, Austrians, Cypriots, Irish, Liechtensteiner, Latvian and Maletese use the prefix form, everybody else uses postfix (about 80% of EU population, slightly more than that wrt Euro-using countries as the UK amounts for 12.5% of the EU population but doesn't use the Euro)
