perfect merges always → digle ≡ (file redefined as) DAG of lines
by Zenaan Harkness 24 Apr '18

24 Apr '18

Putting “mere patch management scripts” such as Git to shame… So merging is the great VCS challenge, due to conflicts and more importantly the uncertainty of which of a number of conflict resolution strategies is required to resolve any particular merge conflict. >From the VCS point of view, redefining a from from a sequentce of lines, to a directed graph of lines, allows for endless automated merging, with preservation of the resultant graphs, for possible presentation to a user at some future time for "conflict resolution". This sounds simple, but that's really only because it's so intuitive, yet has now been put into a logically coherent mathematical paper with fancy names which apparently establishes “a sound theory of patches” - which is a very good thing indeed for VCS boffins. And the reason that a digle, file => sequence of lines digle => directed graph of lines , is particularly useful, is that for one, merges can be done automatically even in the case of conflicts, and simplified presentation of conflicts and conflict resolution UIs is possible - witness the various diff (and merge) "heuristics" which are too often spoken of in Git land - which heuristics although very welcome, and entirely suprerior to the VCS's of yore, are by virtue of being heuristics and not "closed set" type functions, are naggingly and annoyingly unrobust, at least mathematically/ logically, which is doubly nagging due to Git's content-addressed data model design breakthrough - surely we can have it all? Well yes grasshopper, that's where your intuition is right, yes you can, in the world of Version Control Systemes, have it all: Teh paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/1311.3903 Teh model: https://pijul.org/model/#why-care-about-patch-theory Teh easy description: https://jneem.github.io/merging/ Easy, part 2: https://jneem.github.io/pijul/ A VCS being built on teh theory: https://pijul.org/ Coming soon to a "mere patch management script" near you :)

Cryptocurrency: Adoption Always Grows on News of Actions Of Haters, and Why Unstoppable Strength
by grarpamp 21 Apr '18

https://twitter.com/aantonop/status/987534436811100160 We have come full circle. Many people's interest in bitcoin started when Wikileaks was out under an extra judicial embargo by VISA, MC, PayPal and banks. Now Coinbase has repeated history. Oops. It's about the use of extra-judicial controls to enforce policy, in violation of our laws and due process. It's a very slippery slope. You don't pick your principles based on who is targeted, or they're not really principles just justifications. https://www.abolishthebitlicense.org/ https://www.reddit.com/user/theochino Can't stop it...

Around 2500 years ago Gautma Buddha created first Sanga(Group or Community).

Google prepares publishers for the release of Chrome ad-blocking
by Joseph Frazier 21 Apr '18

Google prepares publishers for the release of Chrome ad-blocking https://arstechnica.com/?post_type=post&p=1108335 -- Personally, I consider ad-blocking a form of theft, and yes, privacy concerns can be in conflict to this idealism unfortunately. Be careful folks, google may become the "police" of the internet if you let them. :-/ They make their money from ads, so is this an attempt to kill the little guy before they grow to become a competitor?? Should we not let the free market decide these things?! #KillItBeforeItGrows #DontBeEvil #FreeMarket *Joseph Frazier*
