Jesus vs Satan

Religious but interesting

Jesus and Satan have an argument as to who is the better programmer. This goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest with God as the judge. They set themselves before their computers and begin. They type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen, for several hours straight.

Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes, taking out the electricity. Moments later, the power is restored, and God announces that the contest is over. He asks Satan to show his work. Visibly upset, Satan cries and says, “I have nothing. I lost it all when the power went out.”

“Very well,” says God, “let us see if Jesus has fared any better.”

Jesus presses a key, and the screen comes to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers.

Satan is astonished. He stutters, “B-b-but how?! I lost everything, yet Jesus’ program is intact! How did he do it?”

God chuckles, “Everybody knows… Jesus saves.”

One thing I hate about versions (mac feature) is that I'm so used to hitting command + s that I have versions that are like four minutes apart for hours. In reality it should be used like source control without a commit message.

Ugh, you too?
I'm lucky to get 3+ hours per sleep cycle. I catch up a bit during the 24 day period by napping on the couch for 90min and about the same in my car between clients or jobs.

Looking forward to my next chance to do 10 hours ... Lol, 7am-5pm ... Crazy life ...

At the moment I'm looking for a position in a local or abroad vampire association

Hours got cut at one the private schools.
Filled those hours at a coding house as a consultant/etc...
I also own my own business.
However, the market I'm in is getting pounded by the economy so I've been looking at ways to either pivot or exit that line of service.

I'm kicking myself in the ass for not picking up iOS programming 4 years ago

shit loads of work over here if you can do that. Dumb old dog I am

The beauty of incrementally saving though, is that every minute for an hour takes up roughly the same amount of space as once per hour.

When I'm coding in Sublime, by entire coding cycle consists of

1, Write a bigass feature, save
2, Repeatedly fix bugs and use CMD+S, probably hit CMD+S more than actually typing code fixes

Dunno about any of the others, but git saves the entire changed file for each commit, not the diff (otherwise rebasing could take hours).

The Mac feature just saves the diff. Unlike with Time Machine backups. It's not meant to be version control like git, it's more for going back to an earlier revision in a document you're typing or presentation if you screwed something up.

Edit: Typo that completely changed the meaning.

I just have Netbeans save every time I switch files or do pretty much anything.

Time Machine uses Git, iirc

This is kind of a half truth; git uses delta compression on objects to save disk space. This happens when repacking, which I'm fairly sure happens only when explicitly called and during garbage collection.

Time machine actually just uses a flat file database with some clever hard linking. When it wants to backup, it compares every file it has already backed up with every file on your machine and does one of two things:

- If the file is the same, it creates a hard link to the previous version it already has stored, meaning both backups share the same file on disk. Unlike a symlink, each hard link is of equal value and only when every hard link to a file is removed will it be flagged for removal.

- If the file is different, it is transferred to the new backup as you would expect and can then be used as a hard link target for future revisions

This means that a 1 bit change in a 1GB file will result in updating the whole GB, rather than just transferring a diff.

You can actually replicate Time Machine's behavior almost precisely using rsync and the --link-dest option, although Time machine also uses a couple of other tricks to help boost speed and compatibility, such as using a sparse bundle as the target to ensure file attributes are maintained and also speeding up transfer and removal.

Oops, I meant to say unlike Time Machine. I guess that's a pretty big typo
