wholemeal: No changes - did you forget to use 'git add'?

http://wholemeal.co.nz/blog/2010/06/11/no-changes-did-you-forget-to-use-git-add/

A bug in git: if you've added a version which is just origin's version then it's quite obvious that you want origin's version, but instead git gives a completely incomprehensible error message.

"We all know that, despite their inherent problems, microarrays have become an important tool in any lab that wants to do cutting edge molecular biology. If you didn't think that the technology was important, you wouldn't be reading this, so we'll will try to keep the rhetoric to a minimum and just tell you what you need to know..."

why canonical created mir

https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z13nxl4xepf5wppwa04cexyr0q35chahgzk0k

This is an excellent outline of how inexperienced the mir developers are, and how mir is (therefore, probably) a bad idea. Justifications go from the outright daft (didn't want to write tests) to the poorly-justified (eg the requirement for server-side buffers stated with no reasoning, let alone any evidence that alternatives, or an implementation in Weston, had been seriously considered). NIH at its finest.
