When last I saw them, they were men of sweat and bristling facial hair. Rockstars in the spotlight. They knocked down celebrities, urged us to revolt, and partied like it was the end of things. It was a time of hedonism and tequila in the veins. How boldly they DJed, how cocky they seemed.
The Swedish House Mafia owned Miami’s Winter Music Conference in March with outlandish performances, a momentous record, and a scandal.
Today however, the trio’s Steve Angello and Axwell are polite, and only want to talk music, as they contemplate where 2009 leads.

The most influential DJ/producer in contemporary minimal techno, Chilean-German Ricardo Villalobos consolidated his popularity in 2009.
Villalobos' tripped out, extended sets were a regular feature in clubs like Fabric, Panorama Bar and at Sven Vath's Cocoon residency in Ibiza. Unsurprisingly, Villalobos was also the headlining act at the only party to take place at DC10 this season. Despite his marathon weekend sets, Villalobos was no slouch in the studio either, with releases this year on his own Sei Es Drum label as well as new EPs for Barraca and Sundance and a wonderfully deep and dubby joint release with long-term friend and collaborator Jay Haze on the US producer's Contexterrior label.
Villalobos still spins vinyl and has claimed that digital music is "very bad for electronic music and music in general," while his production also follows a similarly offbeat approach.

A robust application programming interface (API) has become essential for today’s successful SaaS independent software vendors (ISVs). As a SaaS vendor, you should expect that a majority of your customers are going to require interoperability with other SaaS applications, web services, and legacy systems. As demonstrated by internet pioneers Google, Amazon, and Facebook, an open application strategy facilitates deeper customer usage and enables new revenue streams. Integration is critical for SaaS vendors, and developing a reliable API strategy is the first step toward achieving that goal.

From Detroit, it spread east and west like a virus, using microchips, circuit boards, and wires as vessels. It mutated, and split into separate strains, each with their own unique characteristics – hard, deep, and dub, minimal, melodic, and ambient, tribal, ghetto, and acid – all different, but all with the indelible mark of Detroit techno forever stamped into its genes.
What started as just an after school project for Derrick May, Juan Atkins, and Kevin Saunderson in the mid-1980s, became one of the most exciting genres of modern music known to man. A quarter of a century later, techno is as exciting as it ever was.

In that podcast, I said, “To me, the fact that they make branching and merging easier just means that your coworkers are more likely to branch and merge, and you’re more likely to be confused.”
This is what Taco looks like nowWell, you know, that podcast is not prepared carefully in advance; it’s just a couple of people shooting the breeze. So what usually happens is that we says things that are, to use the technical term, wrong. Usually they are wrong either in details or in spirit, or in details and in spirit, but this time, I was just plain wrong. Like strawberry pizza. Or jalapeño bagels. WRONG.

So I wrote this tutorial for you, in which I have been very careful not to explain things in terms of Subversion, because there is just no reason to cause any more brain damage. The world is brain damaged enough. Instead, for those of you who are coming from Subversion, I’ve got this one chapter at the beginning that will try to reverse as much damage as possible so that you can learn Mercurial from a clean slate.

It's hard enough to make the program model conform to the user model when the models are simple. When the models become complex, it's even more unlikely. So pick the simplest possible model.
