edit.com was amazing for its time! Super intuitive UI, drop down menus,"natural" (for a windows user) text selection via shift-arrows... All of this in pure text, in a console, a gazillion years ago...

That's not true, in my experience. Mercurial has exactly the same features - and maybe something more - than git, with a UX which is at least more consistent. The main problem I see with mercurial is that its team stays too quiet: ever

Is it only me? A github link instead of a kernel.org one? Maybe it's just an effort to reduce the HN death hug, and every git repo is an identical clone after all, yet I can't help but think that a link to the kernel tree should p

My personal advice in this cases is: try to be familiar with (at least) the abstraction layers below and above you. Are you a storage expert? Do not ignore how storage hardware is designed (even on a historical perspective) and frequently t

My two cents: because, more often than not, worse is better. And, recognizing that worse often wins, maybe we should consider the possibility that what we were categorizing as worse, was actually solving a different, more concrete problem.

I always found the mercurial ui super easy. The error messages are clearer, it is multiplatform, all the advanced functionalities are there, a nice graphic interface exists. I really do not understand why git won, apart from github.

I've always mechanically written '#!/bin/bash' as my shebang for bash script, while I normally use '#!/usr/bin/env python' for python scripts. In retrospect, that sounds obviously incoherent

This fills a gap for me. I tend to think of a database schema in declarative terms ("table T has these fields"), whereas the SQL DDL statements are more akin to commands (ALTER table T, adding a column). This always felt bad to me

Exactly! One of the basic skills that an instruction gives you is the ability of quickly reading and categorize informations as you go. When you went through studying tons of books, skimming short texts becomes a breeze.
