Because it’s way easier if you don’t require every level designer to spend 5 hours recompiling everything before they can get to work in the morning, because it’s way easier to just checkin that weird DLL than provide weird instructions to

Assets, textures, design documents, tools, binary dependencies, etc… And yes, p4 just rolls with it, git lfs is a creacky hack.

Yep, svn has a lock feature but it is opt-in per file (possibly filetype?) A pretty good tradeoff, because you can set it on complex structured files (e.g. PSDs and the like) to avoid the ballache of getting a conflict in an unmergeable fil

Mercurial still has some life to it (excluding Meta’s fork of it), jj is slowly gaining, fossil exists. And afaik P4 still does good business, because DVCS in general and git in particular remain pretty poor at dealing with large binary ass

Lucky you. Definitely one of the worst tools I’ve had the displeasure of working with. Made worse by people building on top of it for some insane reason.

Being able to filter or disable network access (aside from what github requires on their side to interact with actions) would definitely be useful, but AFAIK that's only an option for self-hosted runners and enterprise accounts.

You still need something close to ArcSwap with your persistent data structure, because once you’ve built your new tree (possibly using transients) you need to overwrite the old root with the new, atomically (and probably in a CAS loop reall

A generic vmm can not, but these are specific vmms so they can likely load dedicated kernel mode drivers into the well known guest to get the information back out.

Kobe’s Port Island Line is generally considered the first fully automated metro and opened in 1981. Lille Metro is about the same scale as the DLR and opened in 1983.

On desktop I’d suggest installing an extension that adds a toggle (they exist for Firefox and chrome at least): adding a toggle manually is a bit of a chore, especially if the css system you use does not build that in.

The light mode is fine, but you're right the dark mode is truly awful, the code blocks are unreadable. edit: for some reason the author overrode the background color on code blocks via an inline style of background-color:#f0f0f0

And in fairness I can understand not considering someone might eventually be bundling a repository with tens of thousands of refs back in early 2009.

You have things the wrong way around. A developer uses Result because T and E are exclusive. If they’re not, they will use something else. And it will be clear to the caller that they are in a rare oddball case. The idiomatic Go approach

> and __ for extra private That was never its purpose and using it that way is in fact misuse. Name mangling was added to avoid unintentional conflicts in inheritance scenarios. That’s why it’s static, simple, and well documented.

Of course it does. What do you think an errors.New contains and how do you figure it compares by value when checking placeholder errors? The answer is that errors.New just wraps the error message in an errorString struct, and the second lin

There very much is not. There is a compiler error you can’t disable if a variable is completely unused and that is it.

No, you can not do the second one. The other two are completely routine and will work just fine with lists in JS or tuples in Python or Rust (barring a few syntactic alterations).
