You seem to be arguing install scripts vs package managers, and we are all discussing something else.

None of this is an inherent problem with curl and piping however; any installer you could download and run has the same list of issues, and many of those aren't even auditable. You should redirect your anger away from curl and pipe and

Do you have evidence that jQuery is shamed because it is mature? I've always seen jQuery not chosen (shamed doesn't seem like the right word) because it doesn't provide the level of abstraction that folks are looking for, and

I'm not taking a side here, but I would like to advocate for a fair comparison, since you have skipped all of the trade-offs in the other direction. For example, web apps are often easier to discover, easier to update, easier to manage

I don't think stats will be enough to overcome the human perception factor. Self driving cars have what I consider to be an insurmountable pr problem.

And no git command lets you change what public history looks like unless you --force the push. So the check is in a different place. That doesn't seem to me to imply that Mercurial's history is "immutable" and git's

Ok so it has nothing to do with immutability, it's just one warns earlier than the other. Thanks for clarifying.

If you "git push" after rebasing published commits, you get an error, unless you use "--force" or you pull and merge manually before hand. So I'm still not sure the distinction you are making between which one is &q

Just because the user interface or functionality didn't change doesn't imply the internals didn't change to keep it maintained and running though, right?

16 years is impressive? What would you call a 33 year old multi million line codebase still being babysat in production today?

by jjnoakes 10y ago
I'm sorry, I still don't see the distinction. It sounds like in both systems the default is immutability, with commands to override that if necessary. And by the way, doesn't git rebase not mutate history? I believe it create

by jjnoakes 10y ago
Can you elaborate on what you mean by immutable history, and how git lacks it?
976.
by jjnoakes 10y ago
I'm not advocating one way or the other, but I will say that I don't believe 100% code coverage guarantees that you have no issues lurking that a safer language would prevent. Now it probably isn't worth the effort for a very

I'm not disputing any of this. But it really has nothing to do with the context of this thread...

Which Linux distributions do this? I'd like to read how "most" instances of fork and exec end up with unique networks and file system namespaces.

Dynamic libraries (in the C/C++ sense) only scratch the surface. Containers give you your own file system namespace (among other namespaces), which means all of the files that make up your complicated application unit can be put togeth

How is "your own network, your own view of the file system, your own view of the process table, your own view of the user IDs, ..." the same as "processes"?

Opting for or favoring self hosting for manageable installations may not simply be a cost optimization strategy at the expense of time. For example, I personally opt for self hosting in many cases where I need more control over what runs on

You aren't liable for credit card fraud, but that money comes from somewhere. Today it is a small percentage charged to the vendor; do they pass it on? And tomorrow, when the problem gets worse and the fees start to climb, will you sti

Who needs more than one dialect of C or C++? I don't. Any systems I'm interested in may not support clang, but they have C11 compilers and C++14 compilers. Rust is not interoperable with C++ as far as I know, and even if it was, I

Yes, that's exactly what I proposed.
