On the designer front I can think of Entity Framework designer and WWF designer, Build Template designer (or however this thing from TFS is called?) and possibly a couple more. My biggest gripe are all kinds of wizards, most notably "N

It's not necessarily "monkeys", but, disturbingly, Microsoft developer tools are becoming more and more oriented towards "wizard-and-designer-clickety-clickery" type development. There are a few exceptions to this r

Amen. This can "kinda" be worked around with "heat.exe" (don't get me started on naming of tools in the toolchain), but even then you'll need to explicitly specify half a dozen command-line arguments (-ag -dr -

Yeah, the "reason" being that Windows Installer was designed to support corporate deployment of applications to shared machines with install-on-demand and roaming profiles, and to support Windows 95 and up. This, and Microsoft&#x2

Don't mean to sound like an ass, but oh really? WiX is a thin wrapper around MSI (which sucks beyond belief) and as such it suffers full blast from all the "design" decisions of the latter, not even trying to remedy the situa

by anton_gogolev 13y ago
Yeah, because I really want to spend hours upon hours studying obscure incantations that someone decided to be making sense. WiX (and MSI, for that matter) is a disaster.

Yeah, I get that a lot. Theoretically, this is possible by supporting Mono and switching to PostgreSQL/MySQL. Practically, given my limited resources, this is not something I will be able to do in the nearest future.

For a private BitBucket (Mercurial only) check out HgLab: http://hglabhq.com (edited link)

John Siracusa had a epic rant on that exact topic on ATP #25 ( http://atp.fm/ ). I myself was baffled to find out that modding involves unpacking a JAR file, overwriting .class files with modded ones and packing the whole t

Two questions. 1. Why bother with two SVN repos? 2. Any specific reason for SVN at all (large files, binary files, non-technical users)

So judging by the number of Git-related posts here on HN I can assume that Git has taken over. Sad, but true.

Mercurial has "hg clone --uncompressed", which really cuts down clone time at the expense of bandwidth.

Exhibit A: Yet another proof for having three obligatory pieces of software for every beginning programmer: an ORM, a blog engine and a CMS. On a more serious note, FluentData is a wheel reinvented, square. PetaPoco anyone?

Yep, quite a few people tell me that. gethglab sounds nice, thanks!

Shameless plug: HgLab[1] does support ACLs, which can in turn be coupled with LDAP-based authentication. [1]: http://hglabhq.com

`&&` and `and` have utterly different semantics: `and` does not short-circuit. `andalso` does.

Doesn't look like one.

Oh what a piece of BS. Yet another shallow, mechanical comparison of tiny "features" and IDE peculiarities with no other purpose in life other than initiating a decade-old flamewar. And comparing "&&" and "and"? Really?

It can't possibly be rebasing since the changesets on BitBucket are "published" in HG parlance and cannot be rewritten. I'm assuming it does simple merges.
