Yeah, im not a big fun of GitHub (especially after Microsoft aquasition), but I also hate that stupid 'we need to grow', 'we need to expand' attitude. Sometimes, tool is done and there is really not much you can improve

And rich people usually do deals off-court. You will pay me this and we are ok. Because its faster and both sides know they capabilities usually.

Uh, hold on. Are we trying to discuss objectivily? If not, and you just insist like GIT is best for everything fanboyism, and use it everywhere.. I am not interested. I pointed out that GIT have some rough cases and its good to be aware of

There is several issues depending where you run git on. For example mmap() can be problematic on large files in 32bit OS. On Cygwin it gets even worse. As for deduplication, I do not think so. If you have single blob, lets say 1GB and you c

by Borg3 2y ago
Right :) I forgot that everyone is in 64bit systems these days. This change a lot. Anyway, GIT uses single blob for single file content. This is all right, if we speak about source code and text files, as those are not large. Thing changes
216.
by Borg3 2y ago
You are wrong.. Just start putting files of GBs in size and you will see what happens.

Ahh, this stuff.. Never done that :) Im happy enough to provide just .rb + ruby.exe (MiniRuby) for Win32. UNIX/Linux is no issue, since can be easly installed or compiled. In worst case I can provide static ruby too there.

by Borg3 2y ago
Yeah I know about git-annex. It might be good solution for big data. In my case, I do NOT want to decouple storage from metadata. I want single repo for single project that is self-contained. Easier to manage, its truly distributed. No need

Hard to say.. For me DVCS is more advanced version of DVFS. DVCS can do branching and merging, provides more metadata for revisions etc.. DVFS just do pretty much one thing, store binary blobs. And because binary blobs cannot be easly merge

If you do NOT know, then answer that you do NOT know, unless you can speculate. Noone is omniscent. I really dont like when people with no knowledge trying guess the answer or speculate without any background. Im sure I would NOT want to wo

Im not sure what you mean by this... Anyway, if you want to peek at my stuff, take a look at those 2 urls below. One contains various Ruby 1.8.7 Win32 builds (compiled using older Mingw). Other one is my gperf. All this will work on Win2000

by Borg3 2y ago
You are right. GIT is not DVFS, its DVCS. It was made to track source code, not binary data. If you are putting binary to DVCS, you are doing something wrong. But, there are industries that need it, like game industry. So they should use to

Hmm, I think this is not supported, but probably not very hard to do it at least for Windows (PE executable). Hard to say about new Ruby versions like 3.x or even 2.x. 1.8.x have pretty simple building process, just grab the old source. You

Yeah.. old ruby have interesting build system. It first build miniruby with is single selfcontained binary having all core ruby functionality. Then, it is used to run some more .rb build scripts to finaly make fully functional ruby. Actyall

by Borg3 2y ago
Very old one :) Because its reliable. Version 1.8.7 here. I want controllable delays. I want controllable threads :) I want portability. Of course, if you need more peformance, you need to go for newer stuff.

Well, innovating or start bloating? Usually I see things being overengineered because we MUST innovate. No innovation = going backward. Progress bar? what for? Is something like that not enough? Transmiting files: 3/20 (12%), 675kB&#x2

GUI is more efficient? Joke.. JOKE :) GUI have it uses, for example data presentation and visualization. Oh I have nice tools here too. But data manipulation and query? CLI only or mixed where you query in CLI, got graph output.

But I dont see it as being creative. He is just complaining, not even giving any new ideas.

First, dont like it? Dont use it. No need to cry over it. Second, dont like it? Write something better, do show case and maybe people like it and start using it. Third, not everyone needs to use 100s of MB of memory to render some idiotic e

Oh yeah, Carmageddon 1. This game was amazing. I hope they will manage to recreate the engine :) Fingers crossed.

by Borg3 2y ago
Yeah, I hope it wont happen like this. Unfortunately, Im kinda pesymistic on this one :(

Panic NOT :) There is still retro computing move...

by Borg3 2y ago
In case of ruby, best would be to actually use result of match for futher computation like this: if !m=/^[a-z0-9 ]+$/match(str) return "Bad Input" end str=m[0]

Of course it is!! Doom has been ported to a lot of platforms, even very weird ones or even not intended to run it at all! Second, DOOM modding community is amazing. A lot of quality MAPs, MODs. And as bonus :) I still play good old DOOM usi

And it always happen likes that, sooner or later. Yet, every time people think this time its gonna be different... NOT.. The only way is decentralization...

Hmm, this is interesting, but I have few doubts about it. First, Metane is worst gas to come by. Its super greenhouse gas. Second, everyone screems about carbon neutral, but do those people understand carbon cycle on this planet? Its essent

#define strncpyz(d,s,l) *(strncpy(d,s,l)+(l))=0 Of course this one is unsafe for macro expansion. But well, its C :)

Huh, interesting story. Can you point to some sources about that? What FW software vendors did it? I never heard about such dumb feature. Really. If I have rule that DROPs traffic, I do NOT care anymore whats really going on (unless its DoS

It wasnt directed at you as person, but as an idea. Not sure if you ever did abuse report, but they are mostly ignored. Thats the problem. Everyone just waves the hand like, it doesnt make capacity issues, we can ignore it. Sure, until its
