That looks nice; in particular `hg fold` solves the "messy local, clean remote" problem nicely.

Are you suggesting Linux problems are easier to fix because you can read the source code to the kernel? I'm sure on some level that's true, as you have the option to learn how, say, your WiFi drivers operate to decipher why your signal dr

I've been burned a number of times by hg rebase, losing work in each case. Given that our team only has 3 committers, I'd rather deal with the messy tree than lost work.

Particularly that for a lot of target apps (ie. anything vaguely interactive/animated/noisy, such as games and education products), Flash is the only alternative if you need to support IE7-9. I am in the process of porting our suite of ed

My first eye-opener about 1-way functions is this algorithm: Take a word. Remove every second letter. This is a one-way function, because it's basically impossible to recover the original, even for two letter words. It's not a very good a

I've started a side-project using Go + Gorilla. It's actually very nice, but I don't think it's quite as productive for the early-stage as Rails is. I can certainly recommend Django - I've been working with a large-ish Django codebase for 3

3 out of 4 of the macs in my offices were on 10.6.8 until last week (now it's only 2). Edit: I figured this is a pretty useless stat. Here's some better ones from the Unity Web Player installations, Q1, 2013 http://stats.unity3d.com/web/os

Thanks. I also use hg/bitbucket at work. I might have a more serious crack at using Github for something personal to get a better idea.

by kibibu 14y ago
Thanks for this. I'll stick with Bitbucket in this case as I prefer the Mercurial workflow.

by kibibu 14y ago
No, I understand this very well. My question was more about whether there are fundamental workflow issues that GitHub solves that Bitbucket does not?

All of these developers prefer git/GitHub. Can anybody offer any reason why (religious wars aside) this beats Hg/Bitbucket? As far as I can tell, Bitbucket has unlimited free private repos, the same pull-request and team features, and has b
