The problem is not that Git supports staging partial changes. The problem is that Git has shoehorned a tool that "at some point you're going to want"—to help you deal with a rare occurrence—into the default workflow, forcing

Aside from the many great soundbites in it, the thing I like most about this article is that its author is Sean Barrett, whose background is in game development and as a traditional, pre-Web client programmer. (See [1].) Usually, the same

I didn't mean to suggest you do this for every chapter. Just something in the vein of, "In case you haven't been following along already, since I last blogged, I've completed several chapters of Crafting Interpreters.&q

I used to think so, too. Over the winter, though, someone here on HN pointed me towards Beaker Browser and Dat. (For a completely unrelated problem. Turns out, it works pretty well as a solution to this problem, too.) It seems likelier t

You should drop a note on your blog about the new chapter(s). I'm subscribed to your blog's RSS, but not the one for craftinginterpreters.com—because a feed for the latter doesn't actually exist.

The fix that needs to be made here is in Git, which fails to process line endings in a sane way (and includes a bunch of insane, poorly documented config options that approach the problem completely sideways).

You're pulling things out of your ass. I'm interested in comments like yours. At some point between reading the previous comment and responding to it, you must have had some thought that goes, roughly, "Hey, I'm just g

First: No, I didn't leave anything out. Review the link I included in my last comment. Hold on to the Federal Circuit as a personal stick in your craw if you want, but I didn't leave it out . Second: That's a stretch. To

You don't get to define "for their own reasons" to mean something else just so that you have a something to argue about. Doing something for one's "own reasons" means that the decision is theirs to make, in co

> They still can under GPL, but that means complying with GPL, which they evidently did not want to do. Not true. Android has been exactly that since 2016. Harmony is dead (killed at the ASF, even), and Android is now using OpenJDK.

Today, Google is using the Oracle-approved form. They already switched Android from Harmony to OpenJDK in a previous release. Since then, this suit has been about (a) deciding whether Google is guilty of wrongdoing in the past, and (b) wha

Settling out of court at this point would not be a good result, since the most important thing that will come out of this is the legal precedent.

That's not weird, either. What would have been weird is a finding that they're not copyrightable, given that it would have been completely at odds with the statutes and case law we have concerning copyright. The point is, nuance

That's an interesting way to characterize it. When the Supreme Court was considering Google's petition to hear the case, the court asked the White House to voice an opinion—where by "White House administration", you me

The whole subthread focusing on the Android VM is completely irrelevant. The entire argument at this point has to do with the inclusion of the Java APIs. Not even Oracle or the appeals court are harping on Google's custom VM.

It's clear that you're arguing at this point just to argue. There's no reason to even respond.

This is not true. See the remarks about the DatArchive APIs in my original comment. You can also look at Fritter[1], which is a prototype Twitter clone built as a Dat web app. It's true that there are some types of web apps that exis
