I started with CVS then moved to svn. From there moved to bazaar (bzr), from there moved to git and at last used mercurial and settled on it. I still keep an active look at fossil SCM. In my earlier team at fortune 100 firm, most developers

I didn't know that, I thought Google is using customised perforce and later moved to Piper for their mono repository. I do not know if Piper still use some parts of mercurial or is based on mercurial. But it's good to know Google

Performance is not the reason GitHub chose git over mercurial. They chose git because their core developers understand internal architecture of git better. They were more proficient in Ruby and C than Python, so git was a natural choice for

It's very sad to see bitbucket dropping mercurial support. Now only Facebook and volunteers are keeping mercurial alive. Sometimes technically better architecture and user interface lose to a non user friendly hard solutions due to in

Yeah hopefully there can be a consortium of Automobile manufacturers, internet companies and academia which can launch such a constellation of open source satellites for location services. Hopefully that can be combined with terrestrial pee

Good work and keep it up. A nice language for scientific computing after Fortran (some might hate it, but I liked it during my CS studies). I hope Julia succeeds like Python. I have been using Python for quite a while for scientific computi

Wouldn't it be nice instead of countries an open academic agency launch a series of open source satellites for locations. Hopefully likes of apple, Google, Microsoft, alibaba, benz, BMW, Toyota, Amazon, Qualcomm, European space agency

So if I understand it correct Crawlab is another simple easy to use admin for managing web crawlers, one still needs to use scrapy or write their own crawlers. It should be similar to the admin tool I mentioned in my earlier comment and at:

A good project, how does it compare to python based scrapy.org. For admin you can use scrapyhub open source or also another project https://github.com/Gerapy/Gerapy

That's a very useful information didn't know about it. It's like CAP theorem in distributed systems can't have all 3.

Excellent article, have one question, besides economics, the main reason a country can produce cheaply is dependent on highly productive labour, non union structure and friendly labor laws for industries. This is one of the reason besides

Trade war is one reason, other is external debt in USD. This is explained in great details in article that China needs 100 billion dollars every year to service its external USD debt. So they don't want to let CN¥ fall in value signifi

Well here except for the labor costs, raw material and machinery costs will increases. Earlier need to pay less but need to pay more due to devaluation. So it reduces profits and there by investments and capital expenditure. That's the

Yes I agree to disagree. Canada is North America and is not the same as you described. Also you must be aware that USA laws are quite complex with different state and federal laws. Moreover it's a constantly evolving common law jurisdi

I have enough ties to USA and looking at the kids of majority of my childhood friends I can say for sure that they are similar or better off than an average Asian kids who spend majority of time not playing outside but immersed in school ho

Well Seoul, Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai are similar when it comes to kid going out. But the childhood is still under siege in these places by constant pressure to excel with lots of extra curricular classes. My close fri

It's a fantastic project to open source this design and fabrication files. I hope it can be done for old cars and mechanical designs when we didn't have that much electronics involved.

Actually this is another such explanation to justify one over the other. I am a believer that world should be built and bound by human to human connections and love, not by some utilitarian construct like nationalism. You can read the book

It's a tobacco and nicotin business without regulatory oversight in MY, neighbouring Singapore just made it illegal. So there is nothing innovative in it except the product itself is responsible for selling itself like cigarettes, just

In my view it's not losing face, but loss of identity and dignity given nationalistic education. If one wants to conflat the meaning of face to identity and dignity then it can apply to any country or individual.

Yes I agree with you nationalism is ingrained from childhood and this makes it harder for minority who are against blind nationalism. This has been true for all the 70+ countries I lived and traveled. But I still believe in this quote: &quo

Thats the same experience with us except instead of Xamarin we used more popular cross platform mobile framework Flutter from google. Given most of business logic is maintained in back-end. Fron-end client be it mobile or web based needs UI

by dragonsh 7y ago
That's my point, subtle difference in UX like gesture, swipe and touch controls in iOS results in additional UI code in dart to account for each platform. Not much help except for simple mobile apps doing simple crud operations.

Just one example of an open issue https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/22860 If I use swift I get all the code examples and tons of documentation from Apple itself. In flutter I need to rely on some pack

I build a small ionic app when it was based on angularjs with dependency on Cordova and later moved to webview. I didn't like the experience and personally I still prefer Python syntax over Javascript, so that was another factor. Now I

I thought exactly like you and was my view, until I tried to make a small app in Flutter. My startup was trying to build something like Google Lens with AR, and no way to do it in flutter without native code easily. I like dart lang and don

This is precisely the experience of my startup trying to rely on flutter. It's a constant battle. Moreover Android and iOS are different implementation with different capability with constantly evolving API. It's hard to keep cros

Thanks for a detail response. My comments were written with good faith. If you look at twitter messages, timeline. I believe it was an attempt to spread a news that a military build up is happening near Shenzhen for crackdown on Hong Kong t

This is what is visible symptoms. Not the underlying root cause. When solving a bug in technology, it needs a root-cause analysis to fix. The root problem of all these protests in HK are house, education and health issues faced by over 40%
