COMMENT___

I bet that many are using git with GitHub. And GitHub is a centralized storage. It seems awkward that I’m using a distributed VCS as a centralized one, but have to dive into technical details about DVCSes.

> apart from performance in larger projects, having a .svn folder everywhere is my biggest gripe

Working copy has only one .svn directory at its root in up-to-date Subversion client versions. The mentioned problem was fixed in SVN 1.7 (released in 2011).

> I think git popularized versioning systems in the first place as many developers just didn't use them at all.

It was not git. GitHub, its marketing and PR popularized git and version control in general. I think that before GitHub main focus was on versioning source code (recall SCM, source control management system). But the focus switched to universal version control (code + all non code assets).

Used Zim for several years to maintain personal wiki for tech support tasks (mostly email drafts / canned responses on different topics). But I don’t use it now and don’t recall why I dropped it.

Home ageing affects someone’s ability to maintain a standalone forum? Do you mean lack of free time?

Maybe a more up to date version of the doc will help: https://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.pegrevs...

* ahem. Revision is always a revision in SVN. It’s rN and all commands accept it.

* ahem. All branches in SVN are copies of an existing tree at a particular revision. Call it a branch or whatever you want. But if you make a copy of your main development tree, you make a branch and you can work on it in the same fashion as if it was git. Merge it back to trunk when done or continue your work and sync with trunk or other branches. The principle is the same.

* Failing “svn up” is an unexpected technical problem that occurs due to problems with the server or network. The problem should never happen in normal cases.

It would be really interesting to learn what git users think is less intuitive in Subversion than in git.

If I have to choose, then I would decide not to call them AI at all.

Why not? GitHub Copilot was trained with ML to autocomplete your code. But it is not AI.

It's painful to see that GitHub Copilot is called "AI". For god's sake, it is not AI. It's just an advanced auto-complete for coders. GPT-3 is close to AI, GitHub Copilot is not.

Jesus Christ, please make them stop. Stop using AI as a buzzword.

Yeah-yeah, that’s the attitude.

I have a Steam Controller. It performed well in several games. However, my experience with it and most games was very bad. Most games did not really support it and community keybinding presets were either non-existent or unplayable. I had to learn how to use a controller as if I did not use any in my life. I had to spend a lot of time to get everything up and running and learn the controls. Most of the time I switched back to wireless keyboard and mouse or xbox controller.

I hope that controls on this device will be decent and the games are playable.

This was fixed years ago.

TLDR; GitHub will eventually add some kind of "data usage reporting" utility that could show which parts of final your code made with help of this CuckPilot could potentially infringe copyright with links to other known sources of these parts of code. Then they will tell you that it is your responsibility to ensure that your final code does not have copyright issues.

I do not understand your comment and - frankly speaking - it looks like this is a canned response made by a bot.

Please highlight why and how GitLab support team is better than X with some examples. I really want to learn about real cases.

Could you please tell more about your experience with GitLab vs GitHub support team? What kind of problems did they help (or did not help) solve?

> complaining on Twitter is probably what an average person would do.

His twitter account tells that he is an agile software craftsman, turkey founder and a community guy. And he tweets about devops, open source and other stuff.

An average person disguised as a software developer?

Not immediately.

> Nah, it's Apple which put millions of customers at risk, not the person who disclosed the vulnerability. let's not shift away the blame from the guilty here.

Disclosing 0day vulnerability via Twitter for the sake of self promotion is bad. Especially when you advertise yourself as a software developer.

I don't see this post. What is it telling?

Oh, now I get it. However, aren't you forgetting that a lot of Uber drivers in Russia were or are still driving with Yandex Taxi and Uber concurrently?

Uber does not really do anything special to ensure this professionalism in Russia except a brief screening, AFAIK.

That's why I don't think that anything will change from rider's perspective.

I don't get it. What money back? For non satisfactory service? Or for not providing the service you paid for?

How does the driver ensure that he will receive his own order? AFAIK, a driver can reject an order, but this action will badly affect his rating in Uber's system.

I think that the rating system helps at least partially to fix this exploit (if it actually is an exploit and not a fantasy).

Did you call Alpha Centauri? Did you use Russian service provider?

> ... funny jokes the navigation voice cracks when you're stuck in traffic

I guess that we've been using different products.

You can use public pins on the map to communicate with other drivers and sometimes it's entertaining to read them. However, in my case the navigator's voice did never joke or tell anything it should not tell. Navigation is not a toy.

Who penetrates what?

Why do people do this on HN? Karma grinding or just promoting their xyz.net domain?

PS I found this submission while researching whether there is any discussion on HN about this uber&yandex cooperation.

Anti-vaccine groups are behind measles.

The second paragraph tries to explain what this device is supposed to do or what real problems it solves. Again, how keeping a collection of 'signals' helps with privacy?

So does my iPhone "yell" those wifi names? How and what exactly does it yell?

Won't this linger device make me a unique and traceable fingerprint? Is this about privacy?
