I really like bitbucket and JIRA for this in a business use case.

We use the format "JIRA-XXX commit message/title/synopsis/whatever you wish to call it" where JIRA is our project name in JIRA and XXX is the ticket number. Bitbucket then can turn that into a link to your JIRA project

All of the who/what/why is already in the JIRA ticket as more often than not there are non-coders who have input/insight around the issue. When I am looking at the commit log I see a brief summary and if I need more details I can go to JIRA and get the full history with screenshots, designs, reproducible steps, business cases, etc.

Another side effect of this is, when someone is searching in JIRA and finds a ticket they can easily see all of the commits related to that ticket. This also works with Github

The commit becomes simply the "how" "JIRA-XXX brief desc" was implemented
..err..so you guys get identical search results? Are you all on Tails over Tor with en_US? I get:

Indeed, blue titles evoke MS Word. As pointed out, a PDF rendered with this style would be great help in understanding it. Perhaps it's a good choice for on-screen reading, but shouldn't you go with serif typefaces when laying out for print?

As far as I am aware TfL still desperately wants to do this -- the Northern line is one of the busiest on the system and the switching south of Camden Town is a chokepoint.

The problem is that if that were done today, Camden Town would instantly become a major interchange station. It's a small, crowded station and in no way could cope with the added load.

Ten years ago there was a plan to rebuild it a massive new station along a whole block of the high street, but it had too much opposition. The last I heard is that they are going forward with a plan that's less disruptive at street-level. No construction has started yet, so check back in a decade.
$90k is the market rate for trained employee not an untrained employee in this scenario. It's entirely reasonable for the company to say to an unpaid employee we'll pay you $70k + $20k worth of training until you become trained, and then we'll pay you $90k. The added value the company gets is being able to focus the candidates training on their needs (and perhaps a little light indoctrination).

I found a Schick injector razor probably five years ago, and bought a supply of blades for it off of Amazon for about $15. I really only use it for cleaning up my neckbeard, but I'm not even halfway through the blades I bought.

It does take a little care until you know what you are doing, since you can really carve yourself up with the single blade if you go too hard. But it's certainly sharper and does a better job than any of the multi-blade disposable razors I used to use.

If you don't count the flemish in Belgium (about 6-7 million people). In addition, (almost) everybody speaks english.

Really? This is not the impression I get from the Dutch. Belgians love to make fun of Dutch people for being arrogant. There is also a very strong culture of entrepreneurship in the Netherlands, starting and having a successful company is highly regarded. And there are already a few successful startups, like ticketswap which recently opened in several other countries.

It appears to originate with Tim Pope: http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messa...

Reading between the lines, it seems that the 50 character limit is to accommodate commands like "git log --pretty=oneline" and "git rebase --interactive" on an 80 column terminal. He also recommends 72 columns for any subsequent text because git makes a left margin of 4 characters and it looks balanced if you also have a right margin of 4 characters (80 - 8 = 72).

As someone who actually uses an 80 column terminal, I appreciate this practice. Probably younger people with good eyes won't be able to understand the reasoning behind it ;-)

It's definitely interesting to recolour the Overground now that there are so many parts – though I hear rumours it's coming at some point, probably around Crossrail time. And geographic information is occasionally useful.

I don't really agree that the map as a whole is "more useful", however! It's much less clear that the current Tube map, for example, which has had quite a bit of attention paid to visual clarity.

It's always nice to see re-interpretations though. My favourite is probably the concentric circular layout: https://metrouk2.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/london_undergro...

I think the poster got mixed up. Quoc Le was the first author on "Distributed Representations of Sentences and Documents" aka paragraph2vec, so he has been involved in the x2vec scene. Just not the word2vec. And I would argue that word2vec did not originate the idea either, just popularized it and showed the power of such an approach (plus an awesome demo!).

The original paper on word embeddings from 2001 from Bengio et. al. "A Neural Probabilistic Language Model"[1] is the first I am aware of.

A multi-party system does not guarantee that there will be no political problems (particularly not if it polarizes into what's effectively a two-party system), but a two-party system is practically guaranteed to not represent minority opinions, and very likely to degenerate into a "vote for the lesser evil".
I just see that as friction. Now a developer who is working on a new feature is reluctant to take opportunities to refactor incase their commit message doesn't match the "standard". Empower the developer and reduce friction to a minimum is my modus operandi.

Plus commit often and plan commits: with the example above the commit messages themselves are becoming a chore. Just make the message meaningful and link it to a JIRA issue or something. That's simple enough for me.
I concur -- travelling in Boston can be frustrating for those who are inexperienced. They use 'inbound' and 'outbound', but without knowledge of the centre point for that line this information is useless!
Show HN: Hypatia 0.2, a 2D adventure game engine
Hello, Hacker News!

My name is Lillian (see: http://about.lillian.link/), and I just released version 0.2 of my MIT-licensed game engine, Hypatia(http://lillian-lemmer.github.io/hypatia/).

Hypatia is a game engine for single player 2D action adventure games. You can use it to make a game like Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. Hypatia is aimed at non-programmers and programmers alike.

I'm seeking any sort of feedback.

Hypatia supports FreeBSD first, but has great support for just about any platform (https://github.com/lillian-lemmer/hypatia/wiki/Platform-Support). Maybe that fact should be more front-and-center? I'm not too worried.

Hypatia is currently in alpha. Though, the wiki does elaborate on how nonprogrammers can use Hypatia to make a game (https://github.com/lillian-lemmer/hypatia/wiki/Nonprogramer-Guide).

If you're interested in contributing, I could really use people testing it out, making their own scenes, tilemaps, and such, proofreading documentation. Here's a list of ways you can support/contribute to/help Hypatia (includes donations): https://github.com/lillian-lemmer/hypatia/wiki/Support-the-Project.

Thank you for your time!
Some of them are caucuses organized by the parties themselves with slim guarantees of a fair electoral process. It's really the closest thing to election by acclamation in a unique communist party without being such a clear departure from democracy.

This way it's the most limited choice possible: like the school bully who asks you whether you want to be hit with the left fist or the right one :-)
I am glad to see your comment. I wanted to post 'Who cares?' Not about commit messages, because having nice compact descriptive messages can be useful, but mostly about the 'dot' at the end. Because seriously; 'Who cares?'

It's a fact. Play a copy of "Sleep's Holy Mountain" for someone, then show them some Kenny Rogers. Note the results.
By that logic we should also take into account all the other 1000s pieces of technology that can operate with text. In the end it all comes down to personal preference or the project guidelines.
>There's no correlation between having a lot of parties and a sound, well functioning political system.

Absolutely true, but it is remarkable that the Danes had 10 parties to choose from at our election for parliament last week and the US is supposed to be able feel represented by only two parties.

Denmark is pretty much as homogeneous a society as it is possible to be in a modern world and yet we have 10 parties, granted many have very similar policies. It's completely unrealistic that a country of 320million people should feel that their views should represented by two large parties, when 5.5million people in a small Scandinavian country need 10 parties (9 of which managed to get seats in parliament)
Interesting. A so called broad coalition to "verify eyewitness media and use it in news reporting".

Could someone from the media startup sector comment whether this is a land grab from Google in the news/journalism sector? There have been quite some endeavours to bring innovative tools into the land of journalism. This one sounds exciting.
That particular incident was in the Daily Star rather than the Mail.
The list at the bottom regarding computational achievements is possibly slightly more relatable and also contains this nice gem:

Yeah, that's something that I never understood. The most important information is not that this is a merge, but the intent of the branch. You can give extra detail in the extended part, but the title should not be just referencing the way in which those changes found their way to the branch, and not what they do as in the rest of commits...
It's hard for me to resist “math you can touch” :) And although it's “only” in 3 dimensions, the sheer craftsmanship is a feat in itself.
> C doesn't even have anything like that, you only get straight calls.

C does have function pointers. But because it involves setting up and tearing down call frame, they're slow for calling small functions large number of times. Functionally equivalent to C++ virtual calls (through vtable).

At least golang 1.2/1.3 did occasionally generate excessive number of bound checks. Once I counted no less than 6 nearly equivalent bound checks in an inner loop. It took a while of twiddling with code to get rid of all but 2.

However, mostly golang performance is pretty good. I like the language, so I just rather write a C/SSE/AVX library if I really need something to be very fast.
This is like complaining that you do not control each of the spark plugs in your car by yourself.

And how did you keep the blades from being clogged up with hair? Usually, they just stick in there, even if I try wiping them off before they get to that point.
It's definitely very possible, though I have two cautions.

1) Police do not take investigating their own lightly and thus most likely have very strong evidence.

2) I don't know the details of these fellows' careers, but presumably they know procedure, know good defense attorneys and would be far more capable of assisting in their own defense than the average citizen.

> I just see that as friction. Now a developer who is working on a new feature is reluctant to take opportunities to refactor incase their commit message doesn't match the "standard". Empower the developer and reduce friction to a minimum is my modus operandi.

Honestly those commits should probably be split anyway. A commit should represent the smallest 'change' which is singificant.
No, let's talk about both. There's a reason this was posted to codepen with code that isn't obfuscated.
This is for self-published authors, but how long until Amazon will try to force it to regular publishers too, perhaps with some algorithm to even include (re-adjusting price as data come in) regular pre-paid books?

It's also a bad precedent for Spotify and co (to not pay for tracks skipped mid-way etc).

Finally, what about books that are meant not to be read in their entirety, like any kind of reference book?
I like safety razors as well (it's what I use at home). The blades are cheap and give a good shave.

But they take way longer to shave than a cartridge or disposable razor. I use a gillette mach 3 when traveling, and it literally takes a minute or less in the shower with a bit of soap suds to shave. Using a safety razor is a much longer process and requires more gear.
Oh, work by Ola Bini, I remember him for his contributions to JRuby. Interesting experiment.
Erlang is not homoiconic. Did you mean Elixir? Neither are anyway.
"a sound, well functioning political system" is not the goal, or we'd all adopt the single party run like a corporation model from Singapore.

The goal is to represent all the citizens' wishes as best as possible when taking decisions about issues of common interest. And the more power is concentrated in unaccountable parties, the less chances we have at doing that.

Italy may have more than 2 parties, but they are already moving towards a less democratic system where only 2 of them matter. They are already at the point where the only way to access significant positions is through a party. Independents are heavily penalized and mostly eliminated from the picture.

Then there's the lack of internal democracy in those structures supposed to democratically represent the people. Party members are forced to respect party lines instead of what they personally believe, and in some cases the party line is dictated by a single person - the founder/CEO/father-figure of the corporate party (Berlusconi, Grillo, etc.).
Hillary will be president for one reason.

Do you really want a third Bush in the White House for a third Iraq war?

Alternatively, do you really want a Bush picking the next two or three Supreme Court judges? It would set back the country into the 1960s. Voting rights, equality, access to abortion. All rolled back to 1960s with an imbalance of power in the supreme court.
A long time ago I did some googling (aka `research') on the subject and indeed I found out that using serif for printed documents is non negotiable ; it's supposed (and I agree with that) to let the eyes decrypt words faster and smoother than when reading sans serif. Oddly enough sans serif is easier to decipher on screens. I don't know yet which kind of fonts I should use on my e-reader though.

The web seems to think it's a matter of taste and adequacy nowadays:

But the data and sources, as good
as they were, and interesting, even
astounding, didn't rationally support
their claim that "Mobile changes
everything".

Moreover, their frequent comparisons with
PCs flop: So far mobile just will not do
much to replace PCs. The world has a lot
of tacos, too, and they won't replace PCs
either.

Broadly mobile is mostly just a new product
(collection of new products, new product
category),
does replace PCs for some relatively light
work formerly done on PCs, has some new
functionality and uses from being mobile,
having GPS and a camera, etc., but, still,
just does not yet replace PCs, and the data and
sources do not so establish.

For any good theory, need some examples,
and I offered mine.

Basically, for any really heavy PC
user, mobile is not a replacement.
We're doomed!
why is this even important?
Thanks for the feedback. We'll see what we can do to improve that.
Okay, this is weird. I'm almost certain that within the last year or two one of the main Googlers said something like "People just want to be told what to do" It was quite a controversy at the time, and people argued that he was just being flip.

I thought it would make a nice addition to this story, juxtaposing people's desire for easy answers with an example of the type of easy answers Google provides folks. It could have kicked off a discussion about the very, very fine line between "helping people" and "telling them what to do"

Only now I can't find that quote anywhere on the internet. Huh?
You seem to confuse TeX and LaTeX. Knuth himself doesn't do LaTeX so the default styles aren't from him.

It's been a while since I read the documentation to KOMAscript and Memoir but I think both contain some criticism on Lamport's default styles.

There is nothing wrong per se with a sans serif font for titles as long as it fits to the serif font for the main text. I'm not quite convinced though that this is the case here.

BTW, the README states that this layout has been "inspired
by user guide documents from Apple Inc." So don't bash on the ground it might look like a Word document. ;-)

Hey Bryan,

Not NGO's but businesses that serve a social mission e.g. TOMS. Thanks for the feedback, we definitely should look at making it more inspiring and clearer as we're not catered for non-profits.
Does phk mean what I think it means? It's definitely funny and I'd definitely decline all your pull requests, but in company work it really doesn't matter because most people don't look into the history anyway. So yeah, it's probably a productivity tip.
I'd rather see the media banned from telling people who to vote for than see a ban on all polling. But something like that would be impossible to enforce given all publications / news networks have a political bias.
I am utterly baffled by people who use the phrase "The Unix Philosophy" for justifying a piece of software but don't understand that Unix philosophy is in the context of software that can be composed together. That is why the other tenet of the Unix philosophy is to use text streams for all I/O.

The first bit still needs oversight rather than the security agency having carte blanche.

To some extent it's a positive thing that it was a warrant asking a court for continued permission that was leaked. It suggests that, at least to some extent, GCHQ are trying to be above board.

Whether or not the court is acting in a way that balances privacy and security is another matter. I don't know enough to have a firm view.
