You roll version Y yourself and install it into an alternate prefix. If the server uses debian that means make a new deb and deploy it using the standard tools. apt-get/yum/etc. are very solid deployment tools.

Check out git's "make rpm" target. https://github.com/gitster/git/blob/master/Makefile Hosting your own apt/yum repo is pretty simple. Does anyone have an example of a similar "make deb" target they could share? I've heard of git-dpm and

Unfortunately, the first item is still valid. "Speed" is and continues to be a concern. If python did multithreading then speed could be overlooked as processors grow more and more cores. The GIL prevents python programs from using the fu

Another interesting thing I've found is that packagers really prefer tarballs. They can checksum them. They don't need to download your full history, etc. The tarballs automatically produced by github have names that are annoying and make

Agreed. The branching model used by the git project itself is quite effective. Introducing an additional tool isn't always needed. http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/... If there existed a git-next tool to docum

git-difftool lets you plug in your own viewer. tkdiff, xxdiff, meld, kdiff3, and many others are built-in. You can also configure your own. http://schacon.github.com/git/git-difftool.html

On a related note, Michael Foord's `mock.py` was recently added to the python stdlib. http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/mock/mock.html

The one thing he forgot to say is, "If you have to choose an encoding, use utf-8." Someone who doesn't know the difference between utf-16, utf-8, etc. might not know which to use.

ints are used in the definition of some of the core interfaces. This has implications on how many entries a collection (that implements these interfaces) can contain. For example, sort.Interface: package sort // A type, typically a

But recently, the reverse seems to be true I don't believe this is a recent phenomenon.

I was helping my friend edit his website yesterday. He's an illustrator/character designer and needed a text editor on Tiger (old laptop) for editing html/css/etc. We tried very hard to find an editor that wasn't vim. I looked around.. te

Now some love for us Linux guys and I would be so happy. git-cola! It's developed on Linux and written with power-users in mind. That's why it has vim-style navigation (j/k keys for moving up/down lists) and lots of other niceties. It's

Linus' rant is grounded in practicality. Portability concerns are huge for git. Read the source code. Git compiles on lots of (arcane and ancient) Unix flavors, and has to deal with the compilers on those platforms. C is still the right

What a nice guy. I was in elementary school when John Glenn visited our school. He even signed the random shirt I happened to be wearing that day. I think the idea of astronauts really changed my thinking.

If you use vim then I highly recommend mapping spacebar to page-down and shift-spacebar to page-up. This key is kinda useless otherwise and super-helpful afterwards. It is also the largest key on your keyboard. usability++ nmap &#6

While this may be a nice idea, I don't know if it improves the situation. Improving the situation means tackling the entire problem, top-to-bottom. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/18582... http://thread.gmane.org/

I'm confused why twitter even has to do anything here. For example: http://chillingeffects.org/dmca512c/notice.cgi?NoticeID=1860... Is it really illegal to link to infringing material? Oh.. that's right. http://www.2600.com/news/112801

Another practical consideration: I clicked on the "manual.txt" file and SF redirected me to a download page. I would have preferred to read the file in-place (like on github).

Go is a truly beautiful language; it really feels like a modern C. I hack Python and C++ for a living but would much rather hack go.

Welcome to linux. Actually, welcome to the world of software. This attitude is not helpful and please don't "blame" it on Linux.
