https://medium.com/towards-data-science/how-to-version-control-your-machine-learning-task-cad74dce44c4 as light reading?

[chriscool]

@stefanbeller yeah sure.

[jnareb]

Maybe also add in "tools" section Data Version Control, (beta) software recommended in this article...

[chriscool]

This one could help fill both the "light reading" and the "tools" section too:

I'm not sure if it would be of enough interest:

4 features in 4 weeks: here’s what’s new in Bitbucket Cloud - those features being reverting merges from web, Commit API, syntax highlight in code search, dependency caching in Bitbucket Pipelines.

Let's publish this edition on Wednesday August 16th!

[tfnico]

I've added my links, a bit early this time as I'll be AFK the coming week.

Thanks, @stefanbeller! Note that I added you in the credits with your email address, let us know if you don't want that.

[jnareb]

Added a few more links in a481a96

[jnareb]

Git Tower's joke infographics When it's Time to Start Using Version Control (which is not very funny in my opinion, thus not included in above list) reminds me, especially the last point, about old but good The Git Parable by Tom Preston-Werner from 2009. I wonder if the second link is worth being included....

[stefanbeller]

The reftable is the most exciting technical thing to be discussed. On the "non-technical" side, we may have patches that propose coding style, and this is definitely of interest to the core community, see for yourself
https://public-inbox.org/git/20170808012554.186051-1-bmwill@google.com/

(Note how different patches/diffs are proposed, as well as how different goals are seen as worthy/interesting)

[chriscool]

@tfnico and @jnareb thanks for the links.
@jnareb don't hesitate to add links even old ones (but maybe we should add the year in parentheses like on Hacker News) as long as they haven't been given already, so both Git Tower's infographics and The Git Parable are good links in my opinion.

[chriscool]

@stefanbeller yeah I saw the "[RFC] clang-format: outline the git project's coding style" thread, but it was started this month, so it can be in the next edition. Feel free to prepare an article on it! That would be really appreciated! I will prepare an empty draft for the next edition tomorrow and you will be able to put it there (or at least to send a pull request against it) if you want.

Like this: 5c66cf1 ?

[chriscool]

@jnareb yeah, this looks good to me. I will merge it. Thanks!

[chriscool]

I had not seen that it was already on master. Sorry for the noise.

[mjaix]

Just finished my usual typo/formatting work. Great work - both the reftables progress and this issue. Cheers, Markus a { cursor: text; }
