As an author of a Git GUI, I've thought about this problem a lot. git-cola is quite user friendly, but its target audience is specifically power users (I wrote it for myself). I don't like dumbing things down for new users. If y

We would have bought some at $dayjob but their Linux support required coding against a proprietary API. We'd like a nice big interactive display (e.g. take a wacom, make it big) that works on Linux. No custom APIs, please; if your ha

There are mountains of Python 2.x code (particularly inside companies) that are well-maintained and have no plans to port to Python 3 at the moment. My approach has generally been to make the code compatible across 2 and 3, though it requi

I would disagree with the generalization that "Git's ecosystem sucks", though ;-) Many tools have Git support these days, and supplemental tools around Git are plentiful and quite mature. The Git community is friendly and h

All the more reason to just clone it and try it out ;-) It's pretty awesome, actually. Clone it then just npm install -g bower && (make sure bowser is in your path) && npm install && npm start

If you're curious, "git remote", "git branch", and "git tag" all present a list without supplying those options. You only need "git branch -a" if you want to see remote branches. "git stash

When I was traveling in France I busted my chin. I walked to an ER and got stitches. They later mailed me a bill for 40 EUR, and I'm not a French citizen, just a random human. When I got back home to the US I went to get the stitches

If someone posts that same link on HN, and we all comment on it, are we all guilty? This seems like a very slippery slope. Wake up America, please!

Users don't want to learn yet another fossil scm; Git is ubiquitous. It seems like a wasted effort to reimplement Git just because of its license. libgit2 exists and has been making steady progress, and its license is permissive enoug

I think a more reasonable threat would be that the company that discovers the resistant gene patents it, and then owns the entire orange market. Throw in some Monsanto-style "you cannot plant the seeds" and you have a real problem

A few lines down there is an adblock with 8 stories, 4 of which have faces of celebrities. They may actually be violating something there. Unrelated, but one of my first jobs was for an online merchant that used very underhanded methods.
