In any case, the answer to your question is that Pijul can solve certain kinds of merges automatically when Git gives you a conflict that needs manual intervention.

by exDM69 5y ago
Patch based version control like Pijul can deal with merges better than snapshot based systems like Git. E.g. if you merge two branches with the same patches but in different order, but the file contents are the same at the end, git will ne

Early on in Rust's history, it had something similar to Go's goroutines with n:m green thread scheduling and libuv for async everything. Some other languages (e.g. Haskell/GHC) also have this kind of system. But this practica

Mineral oil is fine for a fingerboard, but there is a caveat. Being a non-drying oil, it won't dry and nothing will stick to it. So if you put mineral oil once, it is mineral oil forever. If you try to put linseed oil or tung oil on it

It's wood and mid-20th century slot head screws. A quarter a turn too tight or loose is fine and there's no such thing as perfect in anything made of wood anyway. The tradition of clocking screws may be a bit silly but it is a mar

I see, thanks for the clarification. My search engine pointed me to the std::intrinsics as first hit. But yeah, you can have your volatile in Rust then. It's not a type level annotation, but an explicit (unsafe) operation.

Atomics and mutexes constrain memory reordering. Stores and loads while holding a mutex can't be reordered so that they happen outside the mutex lock (because there are compiler/cpu memory barriers in mutex lock/unlock). Give

I recently tried to post a comment on YouTube in a video where someone used Blender for modelling some icospheres for woodworking and I realized that there is a bug that produces irregular geometry. I don't know why but it was silently

Because tuning by ear is difficult and playing the guitar can be fun even if you're not musically talented enough to tune the instrument. Another issue is that guitars are often played in a amplified live setting. You want to be able t

No, it is not safe, and that is why it is regulated and hard to get in many parts of the world. Afaik the final product is pretty safe but handling the chemicals while working with it needs precautions.

Shellac is really easy to use, and if you get it wrong, it's also easy to rub it off and go back a step. Modern lacquer finishes have lots of nice properties, but it is not as forgiving to use. And it is more difficult to repair.

by exDM69 5y ago
Some guitars do but it's not common. Nitrocellulose lacquer was common in the 20th century and linseed oil with natural resins before that.

by exDM69 5y ago
Nothing wrong with that but a damaged nitro surface is difficult to fix. On the other hand it's probably more durable than just shellac.

A very nice property of shellac is that is easy to repair and difficult to screw up. I recently restored a large cupboard that would've been a whole lot of nasty chemicals and sanding had it used modern film finish lacquer. Instead, it

This analysis falls short if you apply three body orbital mechanics. Going barely faster or slower than the Earth in close proximity to Earth will slowly cause Earth's gravity to pull the spacecraft back in. This can mean all sorts of
