<p>From the homepage it sounds like they've prioritised geometry fidelity for CV research rather than performance:<p>> Infinigen is optimized for computer vision research, particularly 3D vision. Infinigen does not use bump/normal-maps, full-transparency, or other techniques which fake geometric detail. All fine details of geometry from Infinigen are real, ensuring accurate 3D ground truth.<p>So I suspect the assets wouldn't be particularly optimised for video games. Perhaps a good starting point though!</p>

<p>I love that the view count is included in the minimalist UI. I came across one with zero views, and there's something so intimate and exciting about being the first person to watch an ancient home video (even if it's shaky handycam footage of a horse, narrated in Russian).<p>As an aside, hats off to Google to being able to serve an 11 year old video with no noticeable delay from what must be the coldest of caches.</p>

<p>Hey folks, Atlassian employee here! This isn't official comms but I wanted to identify myself in case there's any confusion :)<p>As is pointed out elsewhere on this thread, we're tracking the request to disable the feature here: <a href="https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-67922" rel="nofollow">https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-67922</a><p>There are a couple of workarounds documented on it until we reach a proper resolution.<p>As to the concern around permissions, I believe the reason we're requesting both read and write access to GitHub repositories is that their OAuth implementation bundles the read & write scopes together (<a href="https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/understanding-scopes-for-oauth-apps/" rel="nofollow">https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/unders...</a>). There's just no way to request _just_ read access to repository metadata, which is all the Smart Link feature actually requires.<p>For Google Drive, which supports more granular scopes, we request _only_ read access, not write access as the title of this post implies.</p>

<p>Possibly not quite what you were after, but JIRA integrates <i>almost</i> as well with GitHub/GitHub:Enterprise as it does with Bitbucket/Bitbucket Server.<p>With GitHub + JIRA you get:<p>- associated branches, commits, and pull requests displayed on the JIRA issue view<p>- the ability to search for issues based on whether they have branches, commits, or pull requests associated with 
them<p>- the "Release Hub", which tracks issues that have outstanding pull requests, or have code but no pull request<p>- automatic issue transitions, which transition JIRA issue status based on repository events<p>It's flexible, but the usual automatic issue transition workflow is:<p><i>branch created</i>: issue -> "In Progress"<p><i>pull request created</i>: issue -> "In Review"<p><i>pull request merged</i>: issue -> "Done"<p>Which works just as well with GitHub as it does with Bitbucket.<p>The main thing that Bitbucket + JIRA's integration adds is backlinks from Bitbucket to JIRA. Plus the ability to create branches in your Bitbucket repositories directly from JIRA.<p>If you're dead set on GitHub over Bitbucket, the best way to get "Atlassian" features is to adopt the Atlassian suite and replace GitHub with Bitbucket.<p>Disclosure: I worked on JIRA's DVCS integration.<p>edit: fixed formating</p>

<p>Thanks Peff, congrats on the great release!<p>I came up with 19,290 using the generalized birthday formula[0] (actually after double-checking it's slightly closer to 19,291).<p>16,384 is the value you get using the square approximation method[1] which I believe is a bit less accurate in terms of probability, but faster to calculate. I think Git's using square approximation under the hood -- which is probably a good thing since I think it'll always yield a more conservative result.<p>[0]: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem#Cast_as_a_collision_problem" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem#Cast_as_a_col...</a><p>[1]: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem#Square_approximation" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem#Square_approx...</a></p>

<p>Absolutely. An alternative title for the comic would be "For the love of branch permissions". The second developer in the comic is doing the right thing by creating a feature branch.<p>However even in a strict branching workflow, there's still a chance you'll have genuine integration failures when two branches are merged, even if they independently pass the tests.</p>

<p>Comic author here.

<p>Aerobatic (<a href="https://www.aerobatic.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.aerobatic.com/</a>) takes a similar, though slightly more flexible, approach with their static site deployments for Bitbucket.<p>You pick a branch then (optionally) specify a sub-directory of your repository to deploy.<p>(full disclosure: I'm at Atlassian)</p>

<p>Hi timv, Bitbucket engineer here. I'm not on the PM team, but to my knowledge we have no plans to discontinue Hg support. The Bitbucket repo population is roughly 90% Git and 10% Mercurial, but due to our scale that is still a <i>freaking huge number</i> of Hg repos. We also hired one of the core Mercurial contributors last year to ensure we continue to improve our offering for both DVCSs. Of course I can't personally guarantee anything, but if I were an Hg user, I'd feel pretty confident that Bitbucket's support isn't going anywhere in the foreseeable future.</p>

<p>I'm an Atlassian engineer & heavy Aerobatic user. It's very nicely integrated with Bitbucket, and has great support for Jekyll, Hugo, and arbitrary npm builds. It also has some advantages over github.io like being able to deploy multiple feature branches from the same repository to separate sites, so you can have separate "staging" and "production" versions.<p>It is a paid offering, though you get two repositories free, and is very pretty reasonably priced beyond that.</p>
