You can do that with Sapling, in fact it's both very easy and conceptually more robust than Git because with Sapling you are just manipulating commits. Sapling also includes `sl web` which makes interactive commits, splitting, and reba

To be fair, the website has changed very little since OSS launch (when this blog post first came out) and almost all of the main points of the blog are still the same, and the selling points are the same, too. So, I think it's fine,

The server-side IS open source -- it's basically been in the source tree since day 1, but "inert" due to facebook-only dependencies that made the code unusable, but most of the stuff was actually there if you were willing to

Payroll. It turns out that when you actually pay money to people for their work, it is expensive. That is because the value provided by the labor of humans is, in fact, valuable. However, if you instead just exploit people and take advant

Multiple other distributed version control systems in the 2000s had support for easy hosting. Darcs was actually the best in this era, IMO, because it was far simpler than both Hg and Git -- a Darcs repository was just a directory, and it s

Yeah. I think they just don't like you. I log in probably once every 3 months or something, on every device. Nowhere close to every day. Can I ask what country you're from? Maybe that has something to do with it?

Yes, thanks! Obvious "accounting fingers" typo.

No, I was in fact thinking of 103 early hints, which are relatively new.

With a mailing list you download a patch and apply it with "git am", then push it to the repository -- as you are presumably the maintainer who has permission to do that, and assuming the patch is good. You basically just do code

To me, ordinary login is one of the things they've genuinely improved over time I feel? I absolutely never deal with logins more than once a day per machine? With stuff like Passkey support now, I basically click two buttons in 1Pass a

There are some alternatives like https://grep.app or https://sourcegraph.com/search if you want fast live search, but at the end of the day these are services offered by companies, and rather expensive ones espe

Honestly using Rust recently has taught me that, the only reason C and C++ dependencies in Rust are remotely tolerable (unlike most other languages) is because Rust has an unusually high degree of talented developers, many former C/C

Preload headers DO NOT function "effectively the same" the same as HTTP/2 Push. Yes they have similar outcomes, no that does mean they function the same. They are related, but are not actually that similar except in the most

Yeah, I don't think either of these are really big problems. People identify the vuln, the fix, and they tend to share the patches for backports across versions + across distros, and/or immediately update downstream users to fixed

The design of any library for a microcontroller and an "equivalent" for general end user application is going to be different in pretty much every major design point. I'm not sure how this is any more relevant to fmt than it

Not all distributions suffer from this, because they have the tooling to patch all crate versions given a name. Compile times are actually the worst part but can be mitigated. But these distros also fundamentally accept the language's

You can call any decision you want crazy, but it's not relevant in a matter of trademark, and they talked about this at the time of the original license change. The word "Elastic" isn't enough on its own. In contrast Ama

The vector width stuff is overblown. There are in practice 3 widths for all desktop architectures (128-bit, 256-bit, 512-bit) and the 95th percentile of all desktops are squarely in the first two buckets, or alternatively you're target

No, the FSF specifically requires ownership transfer for GNU projects, so that they can do things like go after infringements in court, or relicense GNU projects to newer versions of the GPL unconditionally, e.g. when GPLv3 was released. Ir

The website is also slow if the browser requests a resource from an origin that is very far away. Nothing is free. The typical benefit for large-scale CDNs is TTFB latency reduction, which tends to be felt rather acutely by users; and the c

By that point the player base can already be devastated, and it can kill the game. Cycle: Frontiers was an extraction shooter, and the immediate cheating was rampant; the game's design meant dying to hackers was devastating -- imagine
