Actually, they lived about the same distance apart as Paris and Budapest. They of course were aware of each other, but for the most part were separate. The Aztec empire did not include the Maya.

I pronounce it "fsck", without a vowel, like "pssssst" when calling someone. English has vowel-less words! A few, at least. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_words_without_vowels#A... .

This is pretty old. It's been around for at least a decade, maybe longer. Do you remember when you were working on it?

Can I get an explanation of the relationship between .NET and Mono? I have vague memory of reading somewhere that Mono or maybe just MonoBuild was completely obsolete since everything was now open source in .NET. Does Mono still have a reas

It should have been called "issue 9", which would have been a great name, expandable to "Issue 9 from Google Labs", very unique, nicely abbreviated to i9 for compiler and filename extension. I was there, along with many

Mercurial fixes pretty much all of these problems via changeset evolution: commits are marked as obsolete and the obsolescence marker says which commit replaces the obsolete commit. So you have a meta-graph of commits as they change. You ca

The original idea, as enshrined in git-request-pull(1), was that we would all have our own git repos somewhere, kernel.org/git or redhat.com/git, and then we would request to pull from each other by sending emails to each other to

In 2013, it was far from clear that git would win. There was still a sizable amount of users of darcs, Mercurial, svn, and even cvs. Many of the tools of that era would have plugins to support all of them. I wish we still had that, because

In part, but also, it's because different people worked on different parts of git and came up with different names. Linus originally called it the cache, the most computer sciency term, and then I think Junio renamed it to index, a mor

Another vote for Evolution here. I also like its calendar integration. Works well on its own or can interface with Google Calendar as you prefer.
