  1. Re:CVS or Subversion on Ask Slashdot: Selecting a Version Control System For an Inexperienced Team · · Score: 1

    Uh, no.

    Just use Git. I thought i was sane trying to keep inexperienced teams on Mercurial because of sane command line interfaces and whatnot. Its a losing strategy. Use Git/Github and you'll never be alone in trying to find supporting workflows, tools, documentation or people to help.

    Most linux users, by far, dont choose their own kernels. They run whatever distro gives them. Or in most cases, whatever is loaded on their phone by the manufacturer

    Factor in Musk time dilation factor. When he says 2017, you have to be pretty precise about the gravitational lensing his ego has created in the room that particular day. It's normally around 2071 or so

  11. Re:Build timestamps mess this up on Debian Working on Reproducible Builds To Make Binaries Trustable · · Score: 1

    The other thing is to hack your build of the toolchain, so that __TIME__ and __DATE__ and __FILE__ could be stubbed and/or overridden by command line. Havent looked at GCC or clang codebases, but i would think it wouldnt be too hard.

  12. Re: Build timestamps mess this up on Debian Working on Reproducible Builds To Make Binaries Trustable · · Score: 1

    __FILE__ has a similar effect, as it refers to absolute path. Absolute build paths would also be have to be created deterministically, no temp directories or anything like that. And then, make sure everything that gets linked in statically, including the toolchain bits follow the same rules.

  13. Build timestamps mess this up on Debian Working on Reproducible Builds To Make Binaries Trustable · · Score: 1, Informative

    Unless you freeze system time for the full duration of the build, every piece of code that builds in __TIME__ or __DATE__ macros, will screw with this. Other environment macros injected into the build ( like git revision etc ) as well.

  15. Re:This pretty much sums up IoT ... on Cities Wasting Millions of Taxpayer's Money In Failed IoT Pilots · · Score: 2

    No, i wasn't saying its going to help you or anyone else. What i was saying is that at the abstract level, its simply a local optimization vs global optimization issue.
    Whether this optimization is feasible or can work for any given problem with any given implementation is a different matter altogether.

    An unconnected device/thing can at best perform local optimization because it simply does not have larger context and information, global optimization cannot be performed.

  16. Re:This pretty much sums up IoT ... on Cities Wasting Millions of Taxpayer's Money In Failed IoT Pilots · · Score: 2

    By being connected to a global base of knowledge, many problems can escape local optima solutions.

    Thats the gist of it. Details and implementations vary and matter, of course.

    odf is good for collaboration...

    Maybe, but it pales in comparison to cloud hosted collaboration suites. Which coincidentally, Office365 and Google Docs are. I don't know about the msft latest stuff but i'm a gdocs user and trying to collaborate on an offline copy of spreadsheet/text, regardless of the format, feels like stone age and does have extra overhead costs, too.

    Uh .. price, i.e. TCO is obviously the key decision factor for many users. It has to play a significant role for these decisions.
    TFA is saying its cheaper to run MSFT products at large scale than the open source counterpart. Thats the news, its all about price.
    Obviously its not a 'fair match', as TCO of cloud hosted product in this decade will very easily work out to be lower, but given a choice between the available options ..
