disposti ad usarla:&lt;br /&gt;
Una serie di strati geologici mostra al suo interno alcuni scheletri 
umani sedimentati accanto a uno o più strumenti teconlogici odierni 
(pensavo a un tablet e a un'automobile).&lt;br /&gt;
Dall'alto, fuori campo, in contrasto con l'aridità e il grigio delle 
rocce sedimentate e degli scheletri al loro interno, scendono uno o più 
rampicanti con fiori dai colori sgargianti, ma "diversi" dai fiori 
odierni (avevo pensato di realizzare un fiore con dei denti bianchi al 
centro).&lt;br /&gt;
I rampicanti fanno ombra agli strati, ma li lasciano scoperti abbastanza
 da lasciar intravvedere sia le ossa che i manufatti tecnologici.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La scritta, al di sotto, è breve e in un font essenziale (stile Arial):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Our planet will last long. &lt;b&gt;Will we?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
In grassetto la frase "Will we?".&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
L'immagine deve avere caratteristiche di fotorealismo spinto tali che mi
 hanno fatto desistere dal proposito di realizzarla con software tipo 
Illustrator/Inkscape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
L'ideale sarebbe partire da foto vere, da ritoccare con Photoshop/Gimp.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Se qualcuno fosse in possesso di queste foto potrei anche trovare il tempo di realizzare l'illustrazione.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Altrimenti beccatevi l'idea e, se vi piace, sfruttatela e fatemi sapere :-)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/820374494956679050-1923558381991909929?l=feelingblack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

At least.</title><description>Last night I had time to focus my thoughts on a topic somewhat forgotten nowadays: &lt;b&gt;Artificial Intelligence&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I found myself more and more concerned about &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; being literally surrounded by AIs that help and assist us on doing all sort of everyday tasks. &lt;br /&gt;
If you ask I would have expected for the AIs to be a constant and common presence at least in technology-related areas of the society such as IT, energy companies, transportation and military, healthcare, banks and trading, education and... well, almost everywere an AI with just a grain of intelligence could automate, manage and help men perform complex and/or repetitive tasks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;At least.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What we got instead? Zero-intelligence systems that would be dead after 5 minutes without a man supervising and managing them.&lt;br /&gt;
Even worse: systems that put man &lt;b&gt;as the main information-processing unit&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
I.e. applications that beautifully display bars, pies and reports that will be read, judged (and finally forgotten) by a human that will then formulate one or more possible actions to take as a consequence of those data.&lt;br /&gt;
Let alone the possibility to completely erase the human from that process, why not at least let the AI analyze the data and formulate possible scenarios to be judged by a human?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And what about an AI that asks me which author I'd like to read these month and then begins fetching data, ordering the books, paying them using my credit card, waiting for them to be shipped (eventually triggering an alert to me and/or the shipping AI in case the delivery is taking too much time) and putting together a brief introduction to that author so I could then enjoy a more complete experience from reading his/her books?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don't feel like fearing (much) more intelligent systems as dangerous nor I think pleople would lose their jobs to an AI.&lt;br /&gt;
Nor man will get any lazy than he actually is... &lt;br /&gt;
Simply there would be more people doing different jobs that need no automation but a great amount of creativity instead.&lt;br /&gt;
By the way I think mankind may actually benefit of such a shift &lt;i&gt;from automation to creation&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But aside from that there is a fact that bothers me: the technology for these kind of intelligent systems was ready a long time ago (let's see months and years from the technology perspective). I mean, we have multi-core processing since the early 1990s and AIs are one of the most &lt;i&gt;ancient&lt;/i&gt; and studied topics of the Computer Science. We now have cloud-computing for exploiting even more computational power and we sure as hell don't lack minds that can design these &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Everyday AIs&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thus I'm utterly disappointed that we still lack them.&lt;br /&gt;
They would make life easier and let people focus their lives on more meaningful activities (living their life above all...).&lt;br /&gt;
But I'm disappointed that I can't comprehend &lt;b&gt;why&lt;/b&gt; they are not here yet.&lt;br /&gt;
I also thought of giving my contribute but it would seem that people and market are simply "not interested" in it.&lt;br /&gt;
Did I missed something? Am I drawing a wrong scenario when reality is much more promising instead?&lt;br /&gt;
Are we already there and I didn't notice?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'll send a link to the new Megaupload to the first ones who answer my questions.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/820374494956679050-201713625539205558?l=feelingblack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Turned out that documentation, even the official sources, is still sketchy and young.&lt;br /&gt;
E.g. I tried to build the following, taken from &lt;a href="https://live.gnome.org/Vala/Tutorial#Multi-Threading"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;void* thread_func()
{
    stdout.printf("Thread running.\n");
    return null;
}

int main(string[] args)
{
    if (!Thread.supported())
    {
        stderr.printf("Cannot run without threads.\n");
        return 1;
    }

    try
    {
        &lt;b&gt;Thread.create(thread_func, false);&lt;/b&gt;
    }
    catch (ThreadError exc)
    {
        return 1;
    }  

    return 0;
}&lt;/pre&gt;It will give up compiling with the following error:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;$ valac --thread main.vala
 main.vala:19.9-19.21: error:
 &lt;b&gt;cannot infer generic type argument
  for type parameter `GLib.Thread.create.T'&lt;/b&gt;
        Thread.create(thread_func, false);
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 Compilation failed: 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/pre&gt;The compiler does complain about an actual lack in my code. Infact the declaration of "Thread.create()" is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;Thread&amp;lt;T&amp;gt; create&lt;b&gt;&amp;lt;T&amp;gt;&lt;/b&gt;(ThreadFunc&amp;lt;T&amp;gt; func, bool joinable)&lt;/pre&gt;The culprit is the generic type "T" to be passed to the create method.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;u&gt;But the type of &lt;b&gt;what&lt;/b&gt; I need to provide?&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;Thread.create&lt;b&gt;&amp;lt;?&amp;gt;&lt;/b&gt;(thread_func, false)&lt;/pre&gt;It's the return type of the thread function "thread_func" passed as the first parameter to the create method.&lt;br /&gt;
Hence I need to call it this way instead:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;Thread.create&lt;b&gt;&amp;lt;void*&amp;gt;&lt;/b&gt;(thread_func, false)&lt;/pre&gt;In the case thread_func had returned &lt;code&gt;bool&lt;/code&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;Thread.create&lt;b&gt;&amp;lt;bool&amp;gt;&lt;/b&gt;(thread_func, false)&lt;/pre&gt;And so on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.valadoc.org/glib-2.0/GLib.Thread.create.html"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt;'s the incomplete documentation for the create method that led me to the initial impasse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vala-list/2010-December/msg00119.html"&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt; is where I found the solution (thanks to Abderrahim Kitouni) instead.&lt;br /&gt;

The solution I came up with is the following: &lt;b&gt;given that two hosts already "know" (i.e. pinged) each other at least once&lt;/b&gt; you can perform the command&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;code&gt;ping `arp -n | grep -i 00:17:C8:3B:81:94 | grep -o -E "\b[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\b"`&lt;/code&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only issue here is that the two hosts MUST have already "met" at least once.&lt;br /&gt;
This is because of the kernel ARP cache used by the "arp" command.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;code&gt;void aFunction(int unusedParameter)&lt;br /&gt;
{&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; // Do something but ignore the 'unusedParameter' &lt;br /&gt;
}&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I use this define:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;code&gt;
#define CHECKED_UNUSED(x) (void)x&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And then I surround unused parameter with it, right after the opening bracket of the function (so I can easy find and modify the parameter if I start using it):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;code&gt;
#define CHECKED_UNUSED(x) (void)x&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;void aFunction(int unusedParameter)&lt;br /&gt;{&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; CHECKED_UNUSED(unusedParameter);&lt;br /&gt;} &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I looked at the generated assembly before and after and it didn't change:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;code&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; aFunction(int):&lt;br /&gt;
00000000004007d4:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; push %rbp&lt;br /&gt;
00000000004007d5:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; mov %rsp,%rbp&lt;br /&gt;
00000000004007d8:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; mov %edi,-0x4(%rbp)&lt;br /&gt;
15&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; }&lt;br /&gt;
00000000004007db:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; pop %rbp&lt;br /&gt;
00000000004007dc:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; retq &lt;br /&gt;
18&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; {&lt;/code&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Disclaimer: use it only after you carefully checked that you really not need to use that parameter.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Unused parameters (and all the warnings in general) could really lead to a bug (or simple misunderstandings) in your code.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/820374494956679050-6781595713558645721?l=feelingblack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

I miei due centesimi.</title><description>&lt;span class="zj"&gt;Uso Gnome3 e la Shell da quando è uscito dalla fase di testing in Arch 
Linux. Effettivamente l'inizio è stato un pò ostico perchè molte cose sono cambiate, ma
 successivamente ho apprezzato il design tutto sommato lineare e pulito:
 sembra fatto bene e, soprattutto, &lt;b&gt;pensato bene&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="zj"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, la status-bar è 
stata pensata male e realizzata peggio, ma tutto il resto se la cava 
piuttosto bene, tranne che per l'aspetto "configurazione".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="zj"&gt;Su quel versante Gnome3 mostra molto il fianco; in particolare è davvero troppo poco
 configurabile (sembra un prodotto Apple) e le extensions sono ancora troppo poco diffuse e, spesso,  realizzate male.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="zj"&gt;Ma ciò che mi spaventa di più è che la 
configurazione del sistema sembra essere stata realizzata in modo così 
spartano e semplice &lt;b&gt;di proposito&lt;/b&gt;. Se così fosse allora Gnome avrebbe perso un'occasione di quelle d'oro. Diciamo solo che hanno tempo di recuperare e spero sinceramente che lo facciano. Per loro.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="zj"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vogliamo
 parlare poi di stabilità? Stabilissimo e anche molto reattivo. Anche 
qua traspare l'impressione di buona realizzazione e buon design 
iniziale e, come bonus, i crash e i difetti sono lontani da un ambiente pulito e funzionante giusto un "ALT+F2 r".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="zj"&gt;In definitiva sono molto soddisfatto e propenso a credere che 
successivi rilasci portino ulteriori miglioramenti anche sotto questo 
aspetto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="zj"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vorrei infine porre l'accento ancora una volta sulle extensions, stavolta con una nota &lt;b&gt;molto&lt;/b&gt;
 positiva: sono realizzabili in Javascript... cosa mai avrei potuto 
desiderare di più (se non un'Aston Martin la mattina di Natale).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/820374494956679050-5965511169031443341?l=feelingblack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Va bene così un po a tutti.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Per tanti scrivono anche troppo. Suvvia, qualche bella foto dalle spiagge dei VIP! Che l'estate è calda e non mi va di sudare freddo per qualche brutto editoriale che predica austerità.&lt;br /&gt;
L'aria condizionata è mia e ci faccio quello che voglio io! &lt;br /&gt;
Molta gente poi li vorrebbe placidi racconta-favole, che non venga disturbata l'&lt;i&gt;immagine del Paese&lt;/i&gt; con ritratti poco lusinghieri dei suoi massimi (!) esponenti, dei suoi apparati e dei vari famosi da copertina.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I potenti? Loro in fondo chiedono poco: un giornalista dovrebbe essere solo la grancassa della loro opulenza.&lt;br /&gt;
Poche parole di elogio quanto basta, diciamo una pagina di sperticate lodi al giorno (e poesie per i dotati del raro dono della rima baciata).&lt;br /&gt;
D'altronde che li paghiamo a fare questi benedetti concentrati di fogli se poi non li si riempie di buone notizie e di faccioni truccati e sorridenti?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Loro, i giornalisti? Beh, molti di se pensano di fare un gran bel lavoro. I miei articoli/editoriali/tweets vengono elogiati pubblicamente a più riprese.&lt;br /&gt;
Elogiato ergo sum.&lt;br /&gt;
Alcuni altri, musoni, non dicono niente: per loro è pur sempre un bel lavoro. Ma meno semplice di quanto lo dipingano quelli di prima. Certa gente proprio non si sa divertire...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Io? Guardate, non saprei proprio che dire. Io sono un po musone, ma non faccio il giornalista. Mi basterebbe che lo facesse chi lo deve fare. E bene. Che facesse il suo lavoro insomma.&lt;br /&gt;
Che andasse anche un po meno in televisione, magari.&lt;br /&gt;
Che scrivesse; giornale o web per molti ha poca importanza.&lt;br /&gt;
Ma, come dicevo, sono un musone. Sicuramente mi sbaglio.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;E poi, detto fra noi, di che mi lamento? Alla fine della fiera, qui in Italia è da un pezzo che, in generale, siamo in pochi a fare il nostro lavoro.&lt;br /&gt;
Perchè dovrei iniziare proprio io o qualche altro povero Cristo?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Buona giornata gente, finchè dura.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/820374494956679050-5634881184966199122?l=feelingblack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

UDEV is changing.</title><description>Seen today when upgrading to UDEV 171: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;ATTENTION UDEV:&lt;br /&gt;
---------------&lt;br /&gt;
Kernel 2.6.32 or newer is now required.&lt;br /&gt;
OSS emulation modules are not loaded by default, add to rc.conf if needed.&lt;br /&gt;
Arch specific cd symlinks are now no longer created.&lt;br /&gt;
cd and net persistent rules will no longer be autogenerated,&lt;br /&gt;
see &amp;lt;&lt;a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev"&gt;https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev&lt;/a&gt;&amp;gt; for details.&lt;br /&gt;
Errors are now logged (possibly to the console) by default.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Given that I'm developing a system based on UDEV...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.archlinux.org/"&gt;Arch Linux&lt;/a&gt; is an amazing distribution to develop with!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/820374494956679050-7062732365920135439?l=feelingblack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Non ci deve essere nessuna centrale &lt;b&gt;in Italia&lt;/b&gt;, non solo qui da noi!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quand'è che siamo diventati così meschini ed egoisti?&lt;br /&gt;
È proprio vero che l'Italia non è ancora unita se non riusciamo ad unirci nemmeno su queste fondamentali questioni.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neanche quello che sta accadendo in Giappone riuscirà a svegliare le coscienze di noi italiani?&lt;br /&gt;
E dobbiamo sempre aspettare che accada qualche disastro per svegliarci?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Senza contare che stiamo a discutere di questo quando invece dovremmo inviare tecnici e protezione civile in Giappone... io personalmente sono davvero stanco di quanto sia diventata meschina questa umanità.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/820374494956679050-823650755221481933?l=feelingblack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

È diventato così bravo che riesce a elencarti tutte quelle che paga (o che riesce ad evadere) per filo e per segno, come uno scolaro diligente fa con la tabellina del 10.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dimentica però quasi sempre di citare le tasse "volontarie"; vale a dire superenalotto, "win4life", scommesse sportive, poker online, "Gratta e Vinci" e via discorrendo; che si potrebbe continuare per un bel pò con un lungo e triste elenco di cose che, tra l'altro, hanno anche dei nomi che fanno (quasi) ridere.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ricostruire gli argini distrutti dalle recenti alluvioni (grazie per l'ispirazione Sarcasmo)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Assistere alla mensa della Caritas, che ce ne sarà bisogno se continuano ad andar male i Btp (grazie a Nonchocapitonientemasocheèunacosabrutta e a Cinismo)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ripulire dal fango l'immagine dell'Italia all'estero (grazie alla sempre mitica Figuradimerda)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ricostruire Pompei. Molecola dopo molecola (grazie al Gladiatoresenzacasa e alla solita Figuradimerdainternazionale)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fare da scudi umani per magistrati, scrittori e pentiti (grazie per la segnalazione a Sperarenonnuoce)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fare da cartaigienica nelle scuole pubbliche e da pappagallo negli ospedali pubblici (ringrazio Epoisfottevamolamerica)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Offrirsi in pasto a tutte le nuove famiglie appena scese sotto la soglia di povertà (ringrazio Avrebberounorribilesaporedimerda)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Spalare merda di elefanti circensi (grazie per l'idea Capa) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Per chi non lo avesse intuito questa è la peggiore notizia che avrebbero potuto darmi: una nazione dove si muore di fame e la sua casta che si regala 10 giorni di vacanza per poi ricominciare a giocare a chi ce l'ha più lungo.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;BUT!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
... I traced the issue back to its origin so there is a way (as of today quite a dirty one) to solve it:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: &amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;,Courier,monospace;"&gt;$ gedit /usr/share/avant-window-navigator/applets/stacks/stacks_applet.py&lt;/div&gt;(You may need to sudo it)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Find line 271, comment it and change it to:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;pixbuf = IconFactory().scale_to_bounded(pixbuf, 1 * size)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
(or to &lt;i&gt;pixbuf = IconFactory().scale_to_bounded(pixbuf, size)&lt;/i&gt; if you're not a &lt;a href="http://bit.ly/9Jv08Y"&gt;Captain Obvious&lt;/a&gt; fan)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Save and exit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Restart AWN.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Done.&lt;br /&gt;

On my archlinux box &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;git update-to origin mybranch&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; is currently an alias for &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;git pull --rebase origin mybranch&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
It pulls with rebase instead of merge, thus avoiding many unnecessary commits in your history.&lt;br /&gt;
NB: It rebases to the branch the command is issued in!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Command to save the alias in your ".gitconfig":&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span id="latest_status"&gt;&lt;span id="latest_text"&gt;&lt;span class="status-text"&gt;git config  --global alias.update-to pull --rebase&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Final notes:&lt;br /&gt;
When rebasing fails with conflicts is often a good idea to simply merge (with "git pull origin master", for example): no "history-uncluttering" is this much valuable when conflicts-resolving steps in...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/820374494956679050-6543885277347131686?l=feelingblack.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;
