Eh, I miss Subversion. There was no need for a "Subversion Guru" - people would somehow figure out how to use it on their own.

Me too. And in addressing the ability to work offline they appear to be fixing its largest weakness. OTOH doing that will presumably require downloading the entire repo history locally, giving up its diskspace advantage vs DVC. On the gripping hand, too little too late for the wider development community.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I prefer subversion over git and TFS over both. In part because too many of git's features are to get around things caused by git itself, but also because I dislike how git changes how people approach project management.

When I have to use Linux, Ubuntu has been my least favorite distro. (On the other hand, considering how much time Ubuntu spends on idiot, failed ideas, there must be an affinity there.)

500 years ago, tragic Welsh genius Robert Recorde wanted to teach math to ordinary people. Without him, we never would get people confusing '=' and '==' (and '===')

Everything good comes from Wales (yes, including me)! 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

Of course, my impressions of Welsh and Indian accents are virtually indistinguishable, so maybe he was onto something with the original point that all good things come from Wales.

Stanford researchers using smartphones to track the activity levels of hundreds of thousands of people around the globe made an intriguing discovery: in countries with little obesity, people mostly walked a similar amount per day. But big gaps between people who walked a lot and those who walked very little coincided with much higher levels of obesity. So the solution to obesity is to move to a country where the people walk the same amount you do?
Or get everyone in your country to walk as you do.

Quote: The ground-breaking study, appearing in Nature, used data captured from smartphones to analyze the habits of 717,000 men and women from 111 countries, whose steps were studied for an average of 95 days.
And they got data release forms from each of those 717,000 people? The cynic in me says 'No.'

Although there are many counterintuitive ideas in quantum theory, the idea that influences can travel backwards in time (from the future to the past) is generally not one of them. That 'splodey sound you hear is my head

This would seem to imply you can travel to the past.

If I read it right, it doesn't. Instead, it is more along the lines of predestination: you get the Bell results because you chose the results you wanted and set the machine to match, which was somehow known in the past.

Still, if true, it means information can travel to the past. If information, then it's likely a person can do so too.
