From what I've read about Chinese leadership, it's incorrect to label Xi as "in charge", at least if you mean in a dictatorial fashion. The CCP seems to run by the consensus of top party leaders. Xi certainly has more au

I believe one piece still missing is the full functionality provided by the index in Git. There is the record extension, but IIRC that doesn't emulate one of the index's greatest features: during a merge/rebase, non-conflicti

Maybe it's because Git was my first VCS, but I find SVN extremely frustrating to use at work. I'm having troubles understanding the examples you gave, though. Is coming up with (presumably topic) branch names really that hard? Jus

Holy crap, do you have a link that explains that in more detail? That sounds amazing.

Well, to be fair, we (as in the West as a whole, not USA specifically) sorta invaded and messed up them first. They understandably retaliated, which we use for further excuses to invade/manipulate them even more...

How do they infer "So you think Islam is terrorist" from a statement of support for free speech? You'd think some basic proofreading would be in order if you're going to go through the effort to make such a statement. Ed

The definition of 'object' is outside of the scope of the documentation for the 'push' command. Similarly with 'ref'. From "man git": "The object database contains objects of three main types: bl

And you could argue that it's better to use new terms rather than existing ones that carry possibly-incorrect assumptions, no? "Leaky abstractions" and all that.

To me, it is one of Git's strengths, that it's internal data structure is simple enough to describe and understand, and doing so brings great clarity to the rest of its operations. For example, knowing that "creating a branch

Well then, good news! Such usages of iterators in Rust are almost always result in the same code that would be generated by old-fashioned, hand-written loops. The 'trick' is that the methods (and the closure!) are inlined, and gen

If the source to the method being called is not available, then it's certainly possible for the compiler not to be able to tell how a pointer passed to that method might be used.

Meaning that if the rate of decline experienced in Q1 continued throughout the year, then the annual shrinkage would be about 3%. 1.0074^4 is about 1.03, so the actual shrinkage for the quarter in question was 0.74%.

Wait, if the current Linux ZFS module doesn't interface with the Linux VFS, then how does the filesystem even work? Did they write a Solaris VFS -> Linux VFS bridge?
