This resonated with me except the part about integration. The article seems to assume tight coupling between tools as a prerequisite for seamless integration between them. I am the maintainer of git-appraise, and its founding precept is t

GitLab has an open issue ( https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/4084 ) to use git-appraise ( https://github.com/google/git-appraise ) for storing pull requests in the repository.

You are right; I got it backwards.

That statement is true of NP-complete; if you can solve any NP-complete problem in P time, then you can solve every NP-hard problem in P time.

by procrastitron 10y ago
That's not right. The names of the classes can be confusing, but ${CLASS}-hard means "no harder than ${CLASS}", not " no easier than ${CLASS}". So, for instance, every problem in P is NP-hard. ${CLASS}-complete, o

git-appraise ( https://github.com/google/git-appraise ) does this for reviews and there is a tool ( https://github.com/google/git-pull-request-mirror ) for importing pull requests into the git-apprais

I agree with you, and I prefer the --no-ff merge option for submitting reviews, but I think the argument for it would be a lot stronger if 'git bisect' supported a --first-parent flag the same way that 'git log' does.

There's also integration with GitHub pull requests for that: https://github.com/google/git-pull-request-mirror

Yes, this includes comments.

"Tracing garbage collection has better throughput than reference counting, but reference counting has lower and more predictable latency." Exactly this. I would actually back off a bit and only claim that reference counting has mo

I wrote an operating system in a purely functional dialect of Lisp; http://losak.sf.net There are a few things I learned in the process that I think are relevant here: 1. Forget garbage collection in the sense of any variant of

Can someone familiar with the process explain where this lies in the standardization process? Does "final draft" mean this is the official R7RS-small standard, does it mean this is the final text being sent to the steering committ

I would take the fact that they gave you no response at all for 3 months as a huge red flag.

As does Java, but they get it wrong for arrays. I don't know if C# has that problem or not.

This doesn't change the crux of your comment, but the post office does give them a price break; in fact it gives everyone a price break, all you have to do is sort your mail by zip code. The way it works is if you send enough mail to the sa

Restricting the problem to a fixed size input makes factoring an O(1) operation; so I still don't see what all the fuss is about. Unless you know a way of extending this to handle an arbitrary amount of I/O then it's just a way of implement

That page doesn't seem to have been updated in the several years since I first came across it. As such, any efforts targeting Xen or KVM wouldn't have existed at the time the list was put together.

We often see the word "founder" used as an abbreviation of the phrase "startup founder", but that only applies when used in the context of discussing a startup. The word itself is perfectly applicable in various contexts that have nothing t

What makes you think they had that requirement? At least their current job listings don't mention anything like that ( http://www.google.com/intl/en/jobs/uslocations/mountain-view... ). My suggestion would be that if you want to join Google

You might be surprised at how large an impact adding unit tests can have on existing code. It makes it feasible to start incrementally fixing the spaghetti while having some assurance that you aren't breaking existing functionality. Granted

I've lived in Texas for most of my life, imoving between Dallas and Austin, and I can attest to the spirit of what the cab driver told you; Austin is radically different from the rest of the state. Austin is a staunchly liberal college town

Well, lambda calculus is Turing complete, so you could just stick with a call-by-value version of that. However, you'd want to add macros if you wanted to extend the syntax of the language. Since you mentioned car and cdr in lambdas, they'd

Lazy doesn't just mean deferred; an unnecessary computation might never be performed at all. Take for example a function where the recursive argument is never called: sample = (\this->(\x->x)) Then, (Y sample) can reduce as follows:

The Y combinator only works in languages with either a lazy or call-by-name evaluation strategy. If you run it in a language with an eager evaluation strategy then it actually would result in an infinite loop. For those languages you would

I like this idea, but perhaps in addition to being overloaded, the term "hacker" is also too broad. The constructive sense of hacker can apply to any domain; hardware, software, social engineering, etc. I would suggest any new terms be more

This as atrocious reporting. First of all, you DO forget how to ride a bicycle. Anyone whose gone for more than a decade without riding on and tried to take it back up should be able to attest to that. Secondly, this research doesn't seem t

I actually really like it but, of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
