You can close a branch, which makes it stop appearing in the UI unless you explicitly ask for closed branches. You can never fully delete a branch since the branch is part of the commit metadata (as it should be, IMO).

Yes, the solution is to use a package manager that builds Python with an up-to-date version of OpenSSL. The long term solution is to patch Python to use SecureTransport, but I don't see anyone rushing to do that.

That may be true, but then you're taking a real risk of being thrown in a Chinese prison, maybe for years.

Currently sitting on a plane at O'Hare, can't get to gate because they won't let any planes leave to clear a spot for my plane. What a nightmare.

Yup. When I was running on NASA's HPC resources, I found pages like these to be very useful: https://www.nas.nasa.gov/hecc/support/kb/preparing-to-run-on... https://www.nas.nasa.gov/hecc&

Perhaps a little suspicious that this news comes out the day after political discussion was banned for a week ?

What a strange coincidence that HN banned political discussion for a week yesterday.

Do you have experience with cython? If so, how does Nim compare for writing fast C extensions?

Cython does work with pypy, but via the cpyext emulation of the CPython C API. See this answer from one of the pypy devs when I asked about this about a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10195892 Maybe cpyext h

Not sure what you mean about cython and the FFI. As far as I know, cython is tightly coupled to the CPython C API. I agree that cython is a good option if you only care about CPython.

Bitbucket Server (formerly Stash) is a completely different codebase from Bitbucket Cloud. They share zero code. One is written in Java, the other in Python. It's a constant source of confusion. The naming is because of a terrible mark

There is also a very nice curses interface for interactive chunk selection. To turn it on set interface.chunkselector=curses under the ui section in your .hgrc.

Mercurial gets around this issue (without having a staging area) by providing an interface for interactively committing files or subsets of files via "hg commit --interactive"

Note as the GP mentioned that this bill comes from the likes of Ted Cruz (Texas) and Marco Rubio (Florida). What government agency do those two states have in common? The space program isn't really about exploring space, it's a jo
