Been using Subversion to do version control on LGF’s source code for years, but I’m finally leaving the Stone Age and switching everything over to git, because git rocks so hard it’s frightening.

I’d gotten used to waiting several minutes when creating a branch to test something. With git it’s instantaneous. This is really going to make a huge difference in my development workflow.

Git is a great tool. All of my off-shore development teams have been pushing hard for our projects to unify around git instead of using Microsoft’s TFS. Given that MS has been building in Github repository support into Visual Studio and has even started providing git repositories for their Visual Studio Online projects, that may wind up being the direction we go eventually.

I’ve been using git for a few years now. What’s really nice about it is, if you have to use windows machines for any reason, git bash for windows gives you pretty much full linux command line utility…so you can use vi, grep shit, etc…

What these shit-for-brains Civil-War-splainers don’t realize is that a good amount of African Americans have a bloodline connection to the Civil War- TO THE CONFEDERACY. Some of our Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfathers were plantation owners. Some fought in battle. Others served in Confederate governments. But they all engaged in their actions to keep those slaves(including their bloodline) as chattel. I have absolutely zero blood connection to any Union Soldier. But an ancestor fought and died in a gray uniform at Shiloh. Another was an early member of the Ku Klux Klan. This war was always about slavery.

Have you done much with automated deployments? One thing I’ve been spending a lot of time on is fully integrated deployment pipelines, where my team checks in code, and the compiled binaries get deployed automatically to development and testing environments, and then can get moved in an automated - but manually gated - fashion to user-acceptance and production environments. It makes production deployments a push-button affair for many of my projects. I understand your needs are much different from mine, but I’m just curious if you’ve investigated much in that area.

As a matter of fact - yes. I have a complete deployment shell script that checks all of my staging directories for changed files, runs the Javascript files through Google’s Closure Compiler, and then copies everything new into the production areas in a thread-safe way.

I’ve now integrated this deployment script into the git commit process, so once I make a change all I have to do is type “commit,” add a message describing what was changed, and then everything else is automatic assuming there are no syntax errors in the PHP or Javascript files. It’s a pretty sweet little system if I say so myself.

Some reports have spoken of a dissatisfaction from the Heritage Foundation’s board with DeMint’s insistence on turning the longstanding scholarly think tank into a hyper-partisan operation. Other sources said DeMint was the subject of a coup due to not being partisan enough.

There is speculation DeMint will be replaced by Mike Needham, the president of the think tank’s political advocacy arm — Heritage Action, which has in the past been directly accused of undermining Capitol Hill Republicans’ legislative agenda.

At the same time, there are rumblings the job might go to Steve Bannon, President Donald Trump’s controversial chief strategist, confirming yet another narrative that the Heritage Foundation wants its next president to work hand in hand with the Trump administration.

Jim DeMint was ousted. He got in a fight with the board, which claimed he was making the Heritage Foundation “too political” by bringing in other politicians.

politico.com

The controversial president of The Heritage Foundation, former Sen. Jim DeMint, will soon be out of a job, following a dispute with board members about the direction of conservative think tank, according to three people with knowledge of the situation.

Some Heritage board members believe that DeMint has brought in too many Senate allies and made the think tank too bombastic and political — to the detriment of its research and scholarly aims.

RedState is on the attack, claiming that Jim DeMint brings conservative principles to the organisation.

redstate.com

The rumored departure of Jim DeMint from the Heritage Foundation is a shot across the bow to Constitutional conservatives. My friend, the former U.S. Senator from South Carolina, is one of the key reasons that we have complete Republican government in Washington today. DeMint was Tea Party before Tea Party was cool, and he began the Conservative wave that elected Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, and Marco Rubio. By being a voice crying in the wilderness for freedom and free-markets, Senator DeMint embodied the effort to oppose the Obama Administration’s rush toward secular socialism. In short, without Jim DeMint, there would be no President Trump.

Earthquake Report
Still a whole lota’ of shaking going on up here in SE Alaska.

The first quake was at about 0430 this AM. Rated at 6.2.

This was followed for the next two hours by multiple after-shocks with about 20 in the 2.0 to 3.0 range, another 7 or so in the 3.0 to 4.0 range, and one aftershock in the 4.0 to 5.0 range.

Then a 6.0 “aftershock” (?) at about 0630. This was followed by a 4.4 and 4.3 aftershock about 0700. In between there were many (20 - 30) aftershocks in the 2.0 to 4.0 range.

All of the earthquake activity is centered about 30 - 40 miles NW of Haines, AK.
So far no damage at the Cheechako home-stead. Haven’t looked for damage reports around AK and YK yet.

And there are many after-shocks in the lower ranges still occurring.

Here’s a snap-shop of the activity:

I would note that Loyalty Day was originally conceived during the Eisenhower Administration, in response to International Labour Day. Aside from giving the shaft to all those evul sochulists and labour union commies, the purpose of the day is to honour the institutions of the government, not individuals in it.

Every president has made an annual proclamation for Loyalty Day since, as required by law.

Interestingly, Donald Trump’s declaration was out a couple days before it went up on the White House website, and there he proclaims it as Law Day (also May 1). There is no proclamation up for Loyalty Day, though the law requires it be proclaimed. (The law doesn’t say anything about it being published on a Website, though.)

Loyalty Day is defined as follows in 36 U.S.C. § 115:

(a) Designation.— May 1 is Loyalty Day.
(b) Purpose.— Loyalty Day is a special day for the reaffirmation of loyalty to the United States and for the recognition of the heritage of American freedom.
(c) Proclamation.— The President is requested to issue a proclamation—

(1) calling on United States Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on Loyalty Day; and
(2) inviting the people of the United States to observe Loyalty Day with appropriate ceremonies in schools and other suitable places.

McDonald’s invents ‘supremely superfluous’ Frork utensil to pitch its new burgers

McDonald’s released a mock infomercial to promote its Signature Crafted Recipe burgers and chicken sandwiches.
The infomercial featured the “Frork,” a fry-fork hybrid designed to scoop up all the toppings that fall out of the new sandwiches.

There are neither McDonalds nor television here, so perhaps that’s why I missed it.

LOL. A wag at Wonkette commenting on the libertarian slavery apologist who is still getting dragged on Twitter:

The thing that makes this difficult to discuss is the fact that the US had no written language until after 1865. With no documentary record, historians have been left with only conjecture and oral history (as well as the famous cave paintings of Gettysburg) to assess the root causes of the Civil War.

The only earthquake I’ve ever experienced was in Ponca City, Oklahoma. It was strong enough that it brought down façades on downtown buildings, caused my 1914 Royal office typewriter to skate off my desk, threw a bunch of stuff around in the kitchen cupboards, and damaged my privacy fence. (It also sent the cat and dog running for cover somewhere.)

USGS noted that the quake struck the very deep Quaternary Fault (which lies under Oklahoma and is poorly understood).

I was giving some guys who had come to Chicago to one of my training classes a hard time (like 20 years ago) about living where the ground shakes. They said “it’s 10 degrees outside and you have 40” of snow on the ground… I’ll take the relatively few earthquakes over that any day.”

There is a point to be had there. We go through winters all the time; every year for months at a time. They go through earthquakes rarely. (Except where I was. Apparently, there are earthquakes daily in that area of California, just not usually as big as the one I got to experience.)

Not sure which side I’m on now. That earthquake really freaked me out. But winter. Bah.

A man accused of planning a mass shooting last month was granted bail Monday morning but remained in custody after the judge seemed to have second thoughts and ordered him to stay in jail pending an appeal by prosecutors.

Admitting to ignoring his better judgment Monday morning, U.S. District Judge Mark Lane told the court he was releasing Steven Boehle from custody on an unsecured $10,000 bond because prosecutors had failed to prove clearly that he represents a danger to society.

“As you can tell, I really don’t want to release you,” Lane said.

The judge later sided with prosecutors and granted a stay of the execution of the bond pending a review of his ruling. This means Boehle will remain in custody in the Burnet County Jail for the duration of the appeal.

Boehle is accused of accumulating a robust collection of guns and ammunition to carry out a mass shooting on his 50th birthday.

Trump was just so naughty when he was a kid!

“Terrill Thomas”

I am so glad the jury found cause to file criminal charges against the jail’s employees. I’m also glad it happened on Fox mouthpiece David Clarke’s watch. Maybe this will make him think that he should have been providing proper supervision of the jail he is responsible for maintaining instead of traveling to Russia to meet with Putin & Co. and running to show his *ss on Fox News and share his BS-based opinions. I read a few weeks ago that he has a challenger in his next election, and I read a few days ago that Trump is thinking of giving him a job in his administration. It’s only in the good old USA where one can fall upwards after failing somewhere else.

It won’t bother him, but it might slow his advance up the wingnut welfare chain.

re: #133 HappyWarrior

Trump is the kind of guy who reads something that most people have already read about and he reads a little and he thinks he’s a fucking scholar. People have been discussing why the Civil War happened since the Civli War happened. And honestly as much as a lot of stuff about Jackson bothers me, Jackson was a much braver man than Trump ever will be.

I honestly don’t think the yam reads anything.

“Some reports have spoken of a dissatisfaction from the Heritage Foundation’s board with DeMint’s insistence on turning the longstanding scholarly think tank into a hyper-partisan operation. Other sources said DeMint was the subject of a coup due to not being partisan enough.”

I am doing a happy dance! DeMint losing his well-paid position at Heritage couldn’t have happened to a more deserving individual. DeMint is a nasty, low-down, hateful, divisive, lying, POS.

Maybe he’ll tell Tim Scott to step aside and give him back his senate seat. I wouldn’t put it past DeMint. As I mentioned, I try to keep track of what he and Ken Blackwell are up to, because it’s always something terrible.
