Build it anyway.

I've been working on an app that I believe will be beneficial to millions of people. And I've seen a few built and deployed that are SOOOOO close -- and even an announcement by a VERY big player that is also close.

But frankly, I believe they've all misfired.

And that it's my app that will literally change the world.

So I keep plugging away.

Alone.

We'll see if anybody actually uses it though. It's always a crapshoot.

I already dropped the ball once when I had essentially the same idea as Lyft or Uber -- but decided not to pursue it when I read Apple's rules against transportation-related apps.

I'd be willing to bet that hundreds of us had that idea. It was that obvious.

But Uber and Lyft actually built and deployed something.

And apparently those rules were rules that could be broken.

Oh well, live and learn.

If you're using CI testing results and tying them to particular commits, you end up with the same problem whether you merge or rebase.

If you test a commit and it passes, and then merge that commit into master, the merge may have changed the code that the commit modified, or something that the commit's code depended on. The green flag you had on the commit is no longer valid because the commit is in a new context now and may not pass.

If you rebase the commit onto master, you're explicitly changing the context of the commit. Yes, you get a different SHA and you're not linked to the original CI result anymore, but that CI result wasn't valid anymore anyway. This is exactly the same situation that the merge put you into, but without the false assurance of the green flag on the original test result.

As many others have noted, rebasing is only recommended on private branches to prepare them for sharing on a public branch. If you're running CI it's probably only on the public branches, so rebasing wouldn't affect that. But if you're running CI on your private branch too, then you're going to want to run it after rebasing onto the public branch and before merging into the public branch. That gives you assurance that your code works on the public branch before you share it. Again, if you're using a merge-based workflow you'd have to do the same testing regardless of your earlier test results.
I agree with mkeash's comment. Isn't this also the whole point of the staging area? "Stage multiple fixes into a single coherent commit," is the underlying model. Instead, in the above example there are many granular commits, with rebasing used to then clump them into a logical grouping.

This would indicate to me that you are committing too often or not using the staging area properly.
It's not all that hard to find such examples for any country in the world. Try being black in South Carolina.

There's just no unambiguous way to distinguish various dialects, sociolects, and other linguistics varieties into discrete "languages" easily.

"Mutual intelligibility" is also problematic. In a highly multilingual community, people may have a high passive knowledge of another clearly distinct language that they can understand each other fine when speaking distinct languages/varieties.
Even if you saved that 100-150 euro every month,
you'd not afford buying it after 30 years, assuming
it stayed at the same price-point.

The thing is that many people don't have an extra 150 euros per month (not to mention ~50k euros for the down payment) to save or invest in a mortgage, they spend everything they earn every month even when renting.

If you're in a position where you have extra money and you can choose whether to invest it in the stock-market, buy a nice car, or put a down-payment+mortgage on a place to live it's a different consideration.

Can't reply to mikeash below, but I also have a comment. I've burnt myself a few times where I committed something and pushed to my remote repo, only to realise that I shouldn't have.

What I've taken from my errors is that I no longer push single commits until I'm at least done with what I'm doing (I use GitFlow btw).

It's easier for such things to happen in languages where you don't need to build your project (looking at JavaScript). Sometimes it's pushing a fix, only to realise that it introduces a regression somewhere. I know that testing takes care of most of this, but not everything can have tests written for. I'm a single developer on my 'hobby' start-up, working on over 4 separate components, I unfortunately can't write tests for all of them at this stage.
So there is a question about that I have for you:

As I understand it, an internship is supposed to be a mutually beneficial arrangement where the intern gets valuable experience and the employer gets cheap labor, and a chance to try a potential future employee.

Maybe the intern had different expectations of what he/she was getting out of the deal. (I have a hard time thinking that a (not CS major) Harvard student objective is to become a "software developer")
Yeah I thought that was funny too... the larger point though is that there is no way to take a "day off" and have it be totally yours, unless you otherwise live as a hermit.

It forces at least one interview of a minority, (malevolent racism). That's quite literally the entire point. [0] This also discriminates against white coaches: no interview of them is required if the first interview is of a minority. Which is racist, by the way. Everyone seems to hate discrimination until it favors them.

>None needed. I refuted you with the very first thing I said; the Rooney Rule isn't a hiring preference.

It's purpose is implied to be - without explicitly stating it. But why believe me? Listen to Robert Gulliver instead.

>In the wake of no minority hirings to fill eight head coaching and seven general management vacancies following the conclusion of the 2012 NFL regular season, NFL Executive Vice president of Human Resources Robert Gulliver stated, "While there has been full compliance with the interview requirements of the Rooney Rule and we wish the new head coaches and general managers much success, the hiring results this year have been unexpected and reflect a disappointing lack of diversity."

Can you explain what is disappointing about full compliance of the rule? It sounds a lot like the implied quotas I mentioned before weren't met because not enough of the minority interviews were being hired after their Rooney-Required interview.

I'm also not the only person to see it for what it is: racist [1].

Many potential minority interviewees also turn down the interview because they know it is "just to comply with the Rooney Rule" and they have 0-chance of getting the job, as the team has already determined their next coach (who happens to be white: so they require a minority interview)

A part oft this problem is that the health system is also an economic system. It shouldn't be, but they're trying to make and save money in every aspect.

I recall a startup that showed up on HN about a month ago...

Why would Uber want to incentivize drivers during high demand periods, versus just taking that additional money themselves? The driver has little bargaining power as an employee, so would be forced to work Uber-defined shifts anyway. Uber has enough data now to get pretty close to market equilibrium if they schedule drivers.

Agreed on flexibility being more important when it's not the primary source of income. 'Different drivers have different needs and desires' is really the takeaway here.

And agreed. It's unfortunate that the sharing / on-demand economy are just now bringing light to the nearly 40% of the workforce that is contract/contingent labor. Honestly, I don't think most people appreciate the significant implications the Uber/Lyft lawsuits might have on the labor markets.

> * In reality the history was never linear to begin with. It is better to have a messy but realistic history if you want to trace back what happend and who did and tested what at what time. I prefer my code to be clean and my history to be correct.*

I disagree very very strongly with this. I wrote about this years ago at http://www.darwinweb.net/articles/the-case-for-git-rebase, but it's due to for an update to clarify my thinking.

Basically my beef is the idea that never rebasing is "true" history, and rebasing gives you "corrupt" or "whitewashed" history. In fact, the only thing you have weeks, months, years after pushing code is a logical history. It's not as if git automatically records every keystroke or every thought in someone's head—that would be an overwhelming amount of information and difficult to utilize anyway—instead it's all based on human decisions of what to commit and when. Rebasing doesn't "destroy" history, it's just a decision of where a commit goes that is distinct from the time it was first written, but in fact you lose almost no information—the original date is still there, and from that you can infer more or less where it originally branched from.

"But," you say, "surely complete retention of history is preferable to almost-complete retention?". Well, sure, all else being equal I would agree with that. But here's the crux of the issue: merging also loses information. What happens when you merge two conflicting commits is that bugs are swallowed up in merge commits rather than being pinned down to one changeset. This is true whether it is a literal merge conflict that git detects, or a silent logic error that no one discovers until the program blows up. With two branches merging that are logically incompatible, whose responsibility is it to fix their branch? Well, whoever merges last of course, and where does that fix happen under a never-rebase policy? In that single monstrous merge commit that can not be reasoned about or bisected.

But if you always rebase before merging to master, then the second integrator has to go back and correct each commit in the context of the new branch. In essence, they have to fix their work for the current state of the world, as if they had written it today. In this way each tweak is made where it is visible and bisectable instead of squashed into an intractable merge commit.

I get that there is some inconvenience around rebasing coordination and tooling integration (although GitHub PRs handle it pretty well), but the idea that the unadulterated original history has significant value is a straw man. If the branch as written was incompatible at the point it got merged, there is no value in retaining the history of that branch in an incompatible state because you won't be able to use it anyway. In extreme cases you might decide the entire branch is useless and just pitch it away entirely, and certainly no one is arguing to save history that doesn't make it onto master right?

"Like" is not the same as "is". For a consumer to be confused, it would be no fault of the speaker, because the speaker expressed themselves correctly. Your argument is that users could misinterpret what is said, willfully ignore the meaning of words. By that standard, I could say "my product has nothing to do with IMAX" and someone could choose to ignore it and say "he said IMAX! It must be IMAX." No court is going to apply such a standard, because it is ludicrous.

> Pictures of people out in public, Facebook profiles

But Reddit mostly does not give a shit about posting pictures of people without their consent. Even on bis subs like /r/pics or /r/funny you will see pictures of people in public, which obviously did not consent to have their images posted there. So that's a pretty big double standard to accuse FPH of that while completely ignoring it on default subs.

And /r/videos time after time results in people harassing and brigarding youtubers.
Oh come on. Read that article again.

"He had taken AP Computer Science, a Python programming course in high school, and Harvard’s CS50...In addition to this academic training he arrived with a vast expertise on building Windows-based PCs, especially for gaming."

So we know this kid has had some previous experience. You make certain assumptions that he knows his way around a PC, especially if he's building gaming rigs. Not something you learn in a vacuum. Oh yeah, and he got admitted to Harvard University. But then:

"use Google and Web-based resources before interrupting the person who hired you, e.g., if you want to know how to do something in Emacs for which crib sheets are readily available on the Web and can be printed out"

So yeah, Phil is complaining here but I think he's right. If I went through the trouble of screening and bringing on someone that gave the impression of competency, then shouldn't he know how to solve the small problems by himself? Phil is red-flagging himself that this intern is just going to be a time sink rather than a help. He's also lamenting that kids that get into Harvard are lacking some of the self-sufficiency tools that are key to a successful college and post-collegiate career.
My intuition of how CI should work is that it tests what the new master would look like were that commit [rebased|merged] into the current master, for that exact reason. Is that not how CI systems tend to work? What you've described above does seem awfully silly.
They are in the same category as far as SJWs are concerned because the are not "politically correct", or put simply they are not taking a knee and kissing the ring as SJWs demand.

This is why they have no problem simply telling lies about these subreddits (as they are lying about FPH). The entire point of KotakuInAction and GamerGate is to point out how dishonest this movement is... and what is the response? They lie about them!

Expecting dishonest people to respond with anything but more lies is a silly expectation.

The morally repugnant SJW movement is, at its core, a political movement. They succeeded in turning /r/politics into a monoculture around a single thought and the entire purpose of /r/SRS and all their activism on tumblr is to shame and harass anyone who thinks differently into submission.
Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the culture of the particular religion mentioned. Every member is expected to proselytize at every oppprtunity.

It's a particularly insidious strategy because anyone who catches on and speaks out will be accused of being overly sensitive.
I don't see a problem with having interns learn Emacs, but he should probably look into a better version control and deployment strategy than editing files on the server.

The fact that VR's getting to the point where some people are finding it comparable to the "IMAX Experience" is showing that in a generation or two, it will be there for the majority of people.

Dunno, having to work on a Saturday drastically eliminates your ability to visit family that is more than a couple of hours away and if you have kids you can have to arrange for somebody to take care of them.

Overall I wouldn't go for it.
