Well since the Scandinavians are part Neanderthal there is no point at which the ceased to be separate, however, at the time that people with a majority Neanderthal genes ceased to exist Scandinavia was under 2km of ice and so nobody lived there. There never was a time when anyone, but humans lived there.

How can the Memcmp/Memcpy bug get unnoticed??
Yeah, "new" languages have a real tendency to go for "some sort" of automatic memory management. And they pick the easy option.

Unfortunately, this can lead to wired-in assumptions, such as reference counting which can lead to extension libraries relying on header files to do reference counting logic. The better option, imho would be to instead require extension libraries to 'pin' objects because they've been passed though an FFI.

If a language implementation were to provide an opaque interface of "I am holding onto this object", "I want to allocate an object", "I want to read/write this object's element fields", a far better GC can be provided at a later date while retaining backwards compatibility.

Why go through all this hassle for extension libraries? Because then your GC implementation is completely decoupled from libraries. And most language implementors sufficiently well read to know how to apply GC, but a little ignorant of providing space for a complete decoupling of GC.

Turn GC into an interface and you can provide very advanced GCs if you can find someone to write them. E.g. Java's G1GC for ruby.
Those are good techniques and I advocate them strongly.

Even so, I see value in very short-lived branches for code review. Ideally a branch exists for about four hours before it is merged to master.

At my startup incubator they are always reminding me to talk to customers.

Why not try to track down 25 individuals and get them to sign up and offer something?

Once you apply what you learn from that and have a decent product then you should think more of the advertising and marketing, everything from posters to ads on local cable tv. "Organic growth" is not enough because you have to get a large amount of participation to make something that is (i) self-sustaining and (ii) replicable in other areas
As someone that couldn't go further than 7 miles on 101 in SV in less than an hour...I have no pity.
To me the emphasis is simply an implication that their customers get pitched a lot of programs where the payout has strings attached. (A common tactic to exploit the poor- see the old "company store" days)

Simple example, the reward points I get on my credit card are not cash. They can be redeemed on my mortgage, but not on shoes.

A product that is trying to differentiate itself from such programs would certainly want to really emphasize that they are giving you cash.

Thanks for the question, pervycreeper!

The concept is not new at all - Spot the Ball is a competition that ran in UK (and possible other) newspapers going back at least as far as the 70s. It was a cash prize competition and was pretty popular, though it's died out in recent years.

I wanted to bring it back to get people to interact a little more with a highlights photo gallery - it's a lot more fun that way. IMO, it's interesting because it's just the right level of infuriating.
Note that it is fair to use "unfair" tactics here. If you can get one person to list 100 pieces of tools that they would want to lend out to get things working, do so. "Two sided" markets have a large hump to get over to sustainability, but boy do they give you a moat.
If it is a big package (5 large books or more), I have to pick them up at the Postal Office (nothing to pay or sign), that is 3 block away from my house. They even call me by phone to notify me that the books are there. If it is a small package, I receive them at home.
However, other supernatural events, such as received wisdom, might have no impact on the natural world. If you say the god Mxyzptlk told you that left-handed people should not eat soup, then there's nothing that science can do or say about it.

Neuroscience may have something to say about the origin within one's brain of the idea that Mxyzptlk has any opinion whatsoever about left-handed soup eaters.
We use 1-index on different types of parameters in the system as well, so we kept with that to remain consistent.

Almost 10 years ago I read a study that attributed (not too much or too little serotonin), but sending the wrong serotonin allele types for various social situations. This correlated to genetic predispositions to both social anxiety and certain forms of autism. It seems odd these later studies seem to be focusing on a far more general use case of whether more or less serotonin in general is a cause.
Absolutely. Though you can mitigate that by merging develop into the feature branch often. It makes the merge back pretty painless.

Of course if you've got two long-living, contradictory feature branches, merging develop is not going to be enough. I guess you still need some communication in the team. But it's also important to keep your branches as short as you can. If you got a really big feature, try splitting it up.
People in Austin are saying it's a bubble. But it isn't - a significant number of homes are being paid for in cash. Often $10-20k over the asking price. Those that are being financed have fairly solid support behind them (20% or more being put down). It's not a bubble - it's supply + demand in action.

Which means that housing will be tight until the builders can catch up. Unfortunately, Austin's roads and other infrastructure weren't designed for this influx and are overwhelmed. The city leadership recognizes it's a problem, but haven't been able to produce a coherent plan for solving it. Don't move here.
This is somewhat different from the parent's view, but personally, I try to turn the list of commits in a given PR into a readable, reviewable "story" of the general steps that need to taken to implement a feature or fix a bug. (This starts when first writing it, because splitting up changes after the fact is a nightmare.) However, I do not want to limit myself to finishing and polishing one step before proceeding to the next. For one thing, my intuition might turn out to be wrong and the overall approach I'm aiming for might not be a good idea at all, something which I might only figure out when trying to implement the final feature/fix on top of the foundations. Or it might be a good idea overall, but I might end up realizing later that, say, out of the code I was fixing up in a previous commit, a lot of it is going to be removed by a later step in the refactoring anyway, so I should probably merge those steps or otherwise shuffle up the order. For another, I will probably just end up making mistakes, some of which I'll notice myself and some of which may be noticed in code review; while the "story" is primarily for code review, it is also useful for bisecting, so even changes found in review are good to integrate into the story.

As a result, when working on the project I'm thinking of, I use git rebase -i constantly, as if each commit were a separate file and I were switching between them in my editor. However, I don't actually like that old versions of my code are being thrown away (aside from reflog); I'd prefer if Git had two axes of history, one 'logical' and one 'real' (even if that gives people who already don't like branchy histories nightmares). I hear that Mercurial has something like this called "changeset evolution", but I haven't tried it; wish someone would make a Git port.
Heh! Nobody's ever called me a collective entity before.

I just happen to enjoy writing and keeping track of these feature tables, which is why I publish them. My real work goes into STL features and fixes, which is just one part of a very large product that many other compiler and library devs work on.

Interesting... I would have assumed Germany would be a bit more advanced in prehospital care.

Here in the US (in a rural/suburban area outside a smallish city in upstate New York), the flow would look more like:

A paramedic recognizes a potential MI and takes a 12-lead EKG. If it is indeed a STEMI, then we'll call the ER and transmit the EKG and other vitals (via a cell modem embedded in the monitor). If the ER doc agrees with my diagnosis, then the cath lab is activated.

I'll have a couple large bore IVs in place before we arrive at the hospital, and when we get to the hospital, the patient stays right on our stretcher as we bypass the ER entirely at take them directly to cath.

Bubbles are supply + demand in action, but where the demand is driven in large part by perceived future value where the underlying fundamentals to support that future value do not exist.

That homes are being paid for in cash doesn't indicate that there isn't a housing bubble -- it does mean that if there is, its not likely significantly an effect of a mortgaged-backed-securities bubble the way the pre-2009 national housing bubble was.

How to improve MySQL reliability and performance using MySQLTuner
I definitely had the eureka moment when I was younger. When I was in high school I worked with my sister to sell t-shirts that we designed online. The shirts were designed in photoshop, designs given to our supplier who printed them on demand to ship directly to our customers. Shirts were listed on eBay, payment made through paypal or direct deposit, and all communication with customers and suppliers was through email. At no point did we touch the product or even have a phone call with anyone.

After a couple of months we took out our first profit, which I think I spent some of it on an ipod classic. I was 14, and through clicking buttons and moving my mouse I now had an ipod in my hands that was all mine. That was magic.
Physio absolutely has an automated version of that, it just requires integration on the part of the hospital (and an upgrade to the LifePak to add a cell modem).

- Click the wheel to pick the destination
- Spin the wheel to highlight the destination hospital
- Click the wheel to select
- Spin the wheel to 'Transmit'
- Click the wheel to send it

Done...

> since you can't really gamble in the UK

Of course you can really gamble in the UK - that's what the bookies are for.

However, the regulations are a lot tighter for gambling, so it's easier to make it a "skill based game" which has much looser rules. Bingo and raffles have their own rules which, again, are a lot easier to comply with.
> It's still an open question as to whether this will cause San Francisco level problems

SF's (SV's) problem is that it refuses to build houses commensurate to the number of people who move there. Any number of well paid jobs from any industry would have caused the same problem. High paying (middle class) jobs (outside of manufacturing) are not a problem.

> If this just means that tech is finally spreading out a bit

For better or worse, the exodus of tech companies out of SV could have been prevented. The valley could have captured nearly the entire industry if it just built more houses. Billions (likely trillions over the course of a few decades) of dollars will not flow into the local economy.
"But rewriting history to make everything look clean and simple is the wrong this to do."

Absolute statements are always wrong.

There plenty of great reasons to re-write your local history, many of which have been explored by other comments on this thread. Moreover, Linus disagrees with you -- the rebase flow is the one used by the author of git.

My guideline is that commits that don't have semantic meaning for your team should be avoided. It's therefore perfectly okay (desirable, even) to drop a "wip" commit in your local repository, but that commit is semantically meaningless, and shouldn't make it into shared history. Rebase!

Merge commits, likewise, should be avoided unless they carry semantic meaning. It's semantically meaningless to note that you've merged master back into your working branch N times since the initial branch point -- that's a development detail that is irrelevant to your peers. It's semantically meaningful to note that you've merged a feature branch into master. Your peers care about that.

You couldn't re-write history at all with SVN, so it's kind of goofy to suggest that this is legacy behavior. If anything, SVN had a problem that every pointless brain-fart commit by anyone, ever had to be preserved in the history. This made the history useless.
no-ff is useful when you need to revert the whole merge - the merge commit delimits the boundaries of what used to be a separate branch. If you fast-forward, then you have to use your human brain to figure out how many commits to revert and when you're reacting to "augh I just broke master by adding these 12 commits" you might make a mistake.
I believe it would simplify conversations about negative behavior. Point to the CoC and say that it is an agreement to avoid acting in certain ways, please don't act in those ways.

I don't think it is a cure all or anything, but it at least provides an opportunity to avoid counter productive arguments, and at worst is still incrementally less arbitrary than banning/shunning difficult people outside of a CoC.
It's not bureaucracy, it's politics. Books don't pay taxes and the current government routed all of them to the customs office to make it more difficult to buy things from abroad and send dollars outside the country.

Before this government you can receive the books at your home.

What country has the least number of bookshops per person I wonder. During my last trip back to my home town, Auckland New Zealand, I discovered there was only one "large" bookshop left and it had reduced its sales area to a single floor so calling it "large" was pushing it.

Then I read online last month "Not so long ago, Aucklanders had three large bookshops in the city centre. Whitcoulls, as had been the case for more than four decades, occupied its landmark Queen St location, while Borders and Dymocks were prominent. From mid-year, they will all be gone. It was announced yesterday that Whitcoulls, Auckland's foremost bookseller, would vacate its flagship store." [1]

That leaves one small bookshop in the CBD of a 1.5m population city. Any other city CBD's out there like this?

> Just because you work hard doesn't mean you deserve more

Its a major element of the ideology associated with the Protestant work ethic, which has an important role in American culture -- and ties intimately into the way large parts of the more successful population can dismiss the less successful as being so as a result of choice and moral failing -- that hard work both does, in fact, and should, in moral ideal, result in material success.

Even lots of people who intellectually reject the position are have been to some degree socialized in it and feel some dissonance when contrary facts are particularly palpable.
I am. I resent such articles unless they come from a very clear eminence who has public and verifiable evidence to support his case.

> I remember reading the original GitFlow article back when it first came out. I was deeply unimpressed - I thought it was a weird, over-engineered solution to a non-existent problem. I couldn't see a single benefit of using such a heavy approach. I quickly dismissed the article and continued to use Git the way I always did (I'll describe that way later in the article). Now, after having some hands-on experience with GitFlow, and based on my observations of others using (or, should I say more precisely, trying to use) it, that initial, intuitive dislike has grown into a well-founded, experienced distaste.

Throwing my two cents. There's no perfect methodology and teams that communicate and adhere to a set of standards will probably find a good way to work productively with git. They can always be helped with scripts like the gitflow plugin or some other helper if they think the possibility of human errors is big.

I also have anecdotal experience of working with and without and, being fine with either although I do appreciate git flow in any project that starts getting releases and supporting bug fixes, hot fixes and has been living for a while so it incorporate orthogonal features at the same time.

Hmm... ST depression often means there is ST elevation somehwere you can't see. ST depression is generally a 'reciprocal' change, and there will be elevation on the opposite side of the heart.

A 'standard' EKG looks at the front, bottom, and left side of the heart. If the area of the heart affected by the heart attack is on the right or back side, then you won't see elevation, but you may see the reciprocal depression.
