Comment on Including Git Revision Identifiers in LaTeX by Barak A. Pearlmutter

Another option is to have latex nose around looking for a .git subdir, so no hook needed. This is the approach taken by git://github.com/mpg/git-info.git which is what I use.

Comment on The Most Important Movies Of All Time by jonnystringer

Nice list, especially the second. Like you say, it seems as solid, if not more-so, than a lot of critic or public ‘Greatest of All Time’ lists.

I’ll probably start working through these as part of my film catch-up list.

Comment on π out of 4 EATCS Members Don’t Care About Publication Models by Joseph Kiniry

As an e-voting researcher who is also a member of EATCS, I was surprised at the opaqueness and outcome of this vote. In fact, were this a regional or national referendum in a country with a sketchy history in elections, I would be highly suspect at the outcome.

One would think that professional societies like EATCS, the ACM, and the IEEE would be the first international organizations interested in voter verifiable election schemes, but so far my recommendations to some of these organizations have fallen on deaf ears.

E.g., while the IEEE approach us about potentially using our systems for membership elections, they instead initially chose to use a closed source, third party commercial voting system. Now I understand that they have developed their own primitive closed source voting system called vTools.Voting (http://wiki.vtools.ieee.org/bin/view/Voting/WebHome). Disappointing.

EATCS could have been at least 1 vote closer to a quorum. I tried to vote, but could not because renewal of memberships was closed… Did anyone else encounter this problem?

The new gitinfo package implements this with post-commit hooks

http://www.ctan.org/pkg/gitinfo

It seems like a simpler solution to me, since I don’t need to mess with write18 or makefiles. The downside of course is that I don’t know whether the latex document has been modified since the last commit
