Google has tons of services internally that talk via RPC. The monolithic repo means that it's much easier to hunt down and find people that are (say) using an outdated RPC method and help them fix their code. (Just one example of how

I think I saw "mini vmac" come up, so I believe this is emulating a 68000 directly, not with an extra layer in the middle.

IFTTT doesn't let me basically reformat an RSS feed and then see it in my RSS reader. Most/all of my use of pipes was "go scrape this thing and turn it into RSS, filtering out stuff I don't want to see." It was grea

I dunno. I've had some people be shocked that GOOG is hiring in Chicago and Pittsburgh and ask me if my post was for real. I don't do it often, but almost every time I post in one of the hiring threads someone is interested to a

> Google Code announced its shutdown a few months ago, and their rationale was explicitly along the lines of “everyone’s using GitHub anyway, so we don’t need to exist anymore”. I mean, sorta. It was also because running a service is ex

You're missing a huge part of the benefit, which is that when you go and do internal API cleanups you don't have an awkward dance across N repositories, you just have a change that's atomic across the entire project. It&#x2

Note that Ben (a personal friend) has been an enthusiastic user of Mercurial for several (4? 5?) years, and is pretty happy with it. He was even using hgsubversion for a while I think. Note that there's a lot of social problems around

It's worth pointing out that with Fi you only pay for the data you _actually use_, so if you only use 1G you end up saving a bunch, and if you need more you can still get it when it's required.

Honestly, 3.5 is getting there. I've been pretty frustrated by Python 3, but starting with 3.5 it actually looks /possible/ to port Mercurial without tons of grotesque hacks.

OOC, what kinds of problems did you see with editor integrations? I work on hg, and I'm wondering if there's anything we can do to make the situation less painful.

IIRC http://kythe.io is at least related by heritage to grok.

Rumor is that the MQB platform Tiguan will be available in TDI, but I think that's not expected until MY2017. Wagen is a great vehicle. I love mine.

No, they're still up and running, they're just less publicly visible now. Friends of mine are still working on that team.

So for (a), we're going to build tarballs that include the issues, and wikis are already just in a repository. For (b), that's not a bad idea, but I don't know if we'd talked about that. I'll poke it in our bug trac

Chromium is already on googlesource.com, which is a different service. They have a plan for issue tracking, but it's not yet ready for prime-time.

Indeed. I work on hg a lot (and custom git servers some), and I'd be quick to tell you that Subversion is a lot better in the common case than either git or hg on large binary files.

I'm almost 100% certain FSEvents uses kqueue internally. You can definitely use kqueue for the same things you'd need inotify for on Linux.

It's almost certainly a bug in a build script somewhere, and they're dynamically linking against something via the wrong name. I once linked against Quicktime.framework, and it worked on everything but my case-sensitive Mac. Quick

I don't know. Now you end up in a circumstance where you have N files named some variant of "Foo" and the GUI layer can't distinguish them. Enforcing this invariant at the filesystem layer (with well defined semantics, w

Yes, I asked for a CVE ID for hg but the mitre folks never got back to me.

As far as I know, veracity is no longer developed. The list has been dead for a long time (last post over a year ago), and the last release is 20 months old. A shame, really, because they were at least trying new things in places.

The Ethernet chip is a new one tho - maybe it's a little less terrible? (No idea - my applications for the rpi don't depend on it being a speed demon on the network.)

Yes, when RhodeCode went proprietary some folks wanted it to stay open - the result is Kallithea.

Seriously. This has to have been in the pipe for more than 6 months.

Python 3 is still very much not ready for a variety of complicated things, and some large stacks will likely take years of effort to be ported. Mercurial is an example, I think twisted is another.

It's already pretty paranoid C, so the transliteration should actually be pretty plausible.

My team is looking for version control nerds for some developer tools work. Pittsburgh and NYC are the locations we can do for now. Sadly, I can't go into much detail about the specifics of what we're doing, but we're digging

I'm pretty sure they're using a bookmarks workflow.
