Is it really honest? Anonymous discussion tends to bring out the bigots - there's even some of it in the linked thread - but is it their genuine opinion, or could it be that it's just bored teenagers trying to rile someone up for

Just because Git branches are lightweight doesn't mean they MUST be lightweight and thrown away. In your use-case, the `gui` branch ref would point at the merge commit, so you could simply ask for it by name. Being an old branch, how

Mercurial is a fantastic VCS system that helped me get 'into" DVCS, and for that I am thankful. Even in 2013, it feels like it has the superior windows interface in TortoiseHG and I loved how extensions for Mercurial were usually

I am very pleased by this news, as using Wireshark on the Mac is not a pleasant visual experience. However, having only casually looked at both Qt and wxWidgets, how do MODERN versions of both compare? Doing something with a GUI toolkit is

What exactly is preventing the government from ordering DDG to store queries and the IP addresses that make them?

My apologies, I was being a little facetious. Just a little. :) The size difference was based on my intuition that when I maintained my own .bashrc and .zshrc, I was able to "get away" with fewer total lines in my .zshrc than my

In my experience, Skype is far more well known than FaceTime, it's just that it never occurs to people that Skype exists on their phone. Once you tell them that, a lightbulb goes off in their head and suddenly they're much less i

Something else I personally noticed with Chrome 22 is that Doxygen's menu bar now appears to be totally wonky. http://i.imgur.com/zHSYQ.png It happens with every 'last' menu item. No idea where that came from, but it's the first time I'v
