So linux's popularity on the cloud has nothing to do with FLOSS, and it's just the most common free OS out there.

But why aren't we all talking about Solaris then?

I wonder if the cloud runs on Linux, or just it runs on the most common operating system where you do not have to pay for each individual license? How hard would it be for developers/IT departments to play around with linux if instead

Does git blame let you see the same thing? I don't see --first-parent as an argument to it. It's only helpful if the 'un-expanded' commit is used through the whole system, from git blame, to rebases, etc.

I wonder if 'expandable commits' would be useful, where in the full history, a change (with all it's code review fixes, etc) would appear as one commit, but if you wanted to dig deeper, you could 'expand' that commi

Multiple dispatch is a great way to handle branching complexity. Let's say you have Process 1 which requires Steps A, B, C and D, and Process 2, very close to Process 1, which requires Steps A, B, C' and D. The naive implementatio
