I thought it went without saying that PS3 (2006) firmware isn't based on FreeBSD 14 (2023).

I'm saying, Cruise gets more out of it. Others get nothing. They're in it as believers, not a "literature club."

You get or used to get true believers working in hellish conditions[1] on the boats, paid ~nothing. It might be a quid pro quo convenience for the Tom Cruises, but there are also some suckers. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/

I don't think the Expanse authors were going for "hard sci-fi." There's, you know, fiction elements -- gates, aliens, magic. And the TV series is itself an adaptation of the books for a visual medium. Showing almost n

PlayStation 4 was a fork of FreeBSD 9, and is immune to this bug introduced in 14. Sony also changes a LOT, I'm not sure anything dealing with unix credentials even exists in this fork. It's not clear how much FreeBSD is even us

Seems better than the status quo, where there is no enforcement at all and instead taxpayers are hosed.

Did you have a different account before a year ago? HN discourages the same individual rotating accounts.

The vast majority of those arrested are just for mild insults, which are illegal under the censorious UK regime; not incitement to terrorism or threats.

Sure, sure. The important part is it isn't falsifiable.

This article isn't that -- nothing excellent is achieved. It's pure intra-party squabbling between leftist and centrist factions of California Dems. Balko is just trying to score points for his faction.

A seller might prefer a cash offer to an offer contingent on the buyer securing credit (credit might fall through). Or, like landlords, a seller might prefer a buyer with a higher credit score (same reason -- buyer is more likely to be abl

I disagree that Mercurial users can use `hg rebase -s ... -d ...` without understanding a DAG. The mechanism is only meaningful if you understand the structure of the commit graph.

by loeg 5mo ago
I don't know what version of hg you're using, but the histedit I've used drops me into an identical text editing setup as git rebase -i. It includes a summary of what the verbs mean in a comment at the bottom.

I genuinely can't tell if this is sarcasm or a Python3 true believer.

Usually, no.

by loeg 5mo ago
Yeah, but people using open source mercurial aren't in the same boat. It's a different codebase.

> How do you consider the UX "nearly identical" or "arguably worse"? The core concept is similar -- history is a stream of content-addressed commits. Concepts map almost 1:1. git does some things arguably better. &g

It's kind of late, though, right? Git had core components ("plumbing") in C from 2005, with gradual rewriting of the "porcelain" layer from Perl to C in the late 2000s and early 2010s. People have been complaining

Still Sapling + Eden to make local work on a sparse checkout viable.

by loeg 5mo ago
Facebook has been using their own in-house Sapling/Eden for years and years now. I'm not sure how much similarity remains with open source Mercurial.
419.
by loeg 5mo ago
Mercurial wasn't the better technology, though. The UX is almost the same as git, diverging in ways that are arguably worse, but the tools were written in much slower Python (initially, and for many years after).
