Rebase is not dangerous. It can't be, since it only works on the local repo. It's non-fast-forward pushes that are dangerous. And they're dangerous whether anyone uses rebase or not.

Yeah, exactly. And automotive itself is kind of just the tip of the iceberg (although admittedly huge by volume). My current company is working with heavy machinery manufacturers, and the industry is years behind consumer automotive. There&

That depends the most on what you work on. Of course there is an abundance of embedded shops that do the kind of development that gets tweeted by @internetofshit On the other hand, things like heavy machinery control systems are usually in

Ouch. Sounds like your product manager and business manager are indeed not doing much more than warming their seats :)

The adage "good leaders make themselves unnecessary" applies. If you have people under you, or can coach your people to take parts of your responsibilities off you, I think that's a great outcome. If your ICs are so good that

Is libsodium the de facto standard instead of the original NaCl? If so, what are the reasons? Just enhanced usability, since I recall libsodium using the NaCl crypto primitives almost directly as-is?

I remember this being speculated heavily as one of the most important reasons for Google implementing AMP in the first place.

I agree with your conclusion fully. Also your link to "eat well and do sports" is kind of exactly what I was after. I mean no one is saying that eating well is bad for your health, right? What I was trying to convey is that I th

Any concrete examples you could share? This sounds like an absolutely fascinating take on the matter.

p4merge is indeed awesome. I work exclusively in Linux environments, but p4merge always gets installed. The experience has actually gotten better in that regard since git started supporting it straight as one of its 'mergetools'.

What about Tizen? Haven't been following it too closely, but isn't it a kind of descendant of the Meego platform in some sense?

We've been pretty happy with Phabricator. Its code review is miles ahead of the others, in my opinion, and other parts also work well for us. Of course, it's not a direct replacement, since they don't have free, centralized

Because a hibernated machine is still powered on. So you're correct in a way, the "boot process" from hibernation does skip a lot of things. Problem is, you can't utilize those shortcuts when doing a completely cold boot

The solution is to only play Diplomacy with a group where everyone is a known scheming backstabber who will never trust one another ever again for the rest of their lives! Have tried, can confirm it works. Good times.

That's the first time I hear about Kepner-Tregoe. Would you have any pointers to some basic reading on its principles?
