After one hour and 23 comments, you are the first one to notice it. Shows that even on HN, the vast majority only reads the headline of an article.

I think making the commit summary the "id" of this workflow is actually interesting. It is a step towards doing project management in git itself rather then an external tool.

My point is that you cannot "lend" bits. Nor can you "return" them. The meaning of "digital" is that the original never moves. Otherwise it would be "physical".

Is this about copyright? Aka "If you copy more then X words, your violate the authors copyright" so that one has to negotiate with the author about copying more then X words? Or do they force Google and Facebook to publish those

Have they been sued over digital lending in general or because they lent out more digital copies then they owned physically? Either way, I think that there is no legal "digital lending". What makes people buy things is that they c

That is a really long article. Looks like a lot of work. I will wait until there is a phone where I can just open a terminal and type apt install whatever I want.

What are the "easy" steps to "overlay a separate read-write filesystem over the readonly system partition"? I would not even know where to start.

I wonder why one would chose a phone with Ubuntu Touch over some non-linux phone. With Ubuntu Touch, you can not install anything on the phone. It has a read-only root filesystem that gets updated over the air. So just like with the locked

You should mostly treat it as a black box Again, check the very link you posted. People do that. Until shit hits the fan. And then they have to take that black box apart. Which is not easy.

I hade the same suspicion. Especially since the provider indeed runs a nightly backup of the VMs. But even after turning that off, the VM stalled the next night again.

A flag with that name exists, yes. But it does not seperate table data into one file per table. It will still put stuff related to the tables into the central ibdata1 file. Google "ibdata1 one file per table" to see all the pain i
