Gloves off, I think XSD (and pretty much every other schema language) askes fundamentally the wrong question. [...] So what are the right quesions for a schema language? First, how to capture constraints in ways that are both declarative and which allow capture and validation to be explained in terms of the user's experience and use case, not in terms of element and attributes that may be hidden. The assertions in XSD 1.1 draft do not have any concept of humans.
GitHub has done nothing less than to make my friend’s coding activity *visible* to me, and mine visible to them. This doesn’t sound like much, but it’s simply transformative; If this is how “normal” people feel about Facebook, then I can start to understand how it’s captured so much mindshare.
The primary [technical] difference between distributed systems and centralized systems is in granularity. i.e. in a centralized system, there’s no distinction between saving a change and making it available. In this regard, git is more granular than mercurial. There are lots of small parts that work together. […] The biggest non-technical difference between git and mercurial is the rabid culture surrounding git. mercurial users fairly happily and quietly use their tool, while I’ve had to send two separate door-to-door git missionaries away today alone.
Files in the .git/hooks directory are not part of the repository and so they are not tracked. A workaround is to have a git_hooks directory at the top of your repository and symlink .git/hooks to git_hooks whenever you clone.
The intent of this document is to give an overview of git and to explain some of the aspects of working with git that I feel are somewhat poorly explained elsewhere. What I feel is missing is a manual which explains what the commands are for, how the pieces fit together and how to actually work with git on a daily basis.
When I searched for posts discussing the business merits of Git I came up short. […] My colleague Jason Sendelbach and I gave a short talk on not only the why of the Git, but how we can start using it. Here I’ll summarize our presentation. [… …] You should have seen the project managers’ eyes light up when I hit this point.

Not all XML is created equal, and I think the biggest distinction<sep/>markup language and a bad one comes down to whether the XML was designed *as a markup language* or whether it's<sep/>
Come on, revolutionary? It's just a version control system! Actually it's not. [...] Git is actually the missing link that has prevented me from building the things I've wanted to build in the past.
[Sun have] patented everything they can, and [...] senior Sun programmers have on record stated that one of the reasons why Sun picked the CDDL was precisely because it was incompatible with GPL and Sun fears Linux
