Yeah, like greggman said, I was mainly referring to SSH, though I've also transferred repositories with a flash drive before. I once worked on a project with a coworker where we used git daemon to pull from each other, which is technic

My number one favourite thing about Git is that is that I have a full copy of the repository history and I can work on it without talking to a central server, or any server. I can do a `git blame` or a `git bisect` without receiving a byte

I feel like it's possible to be wrong about your definition of stable software though. Software is not like wine. It doesn't become better just from leaving it alone for a few years. In fact, all software has bugs and developers a

It does. We build mpv with hardening flags (--dynamicbase, --nxcompat, etc.) and it can build in MSYS2.

Yep. MSYS2 uses pacman's support for GPG signatures. The links to the installers on the website don't use HTTPS, but it looks like they've added checksums of the installers to the website itself, which is served over HTTPS.

Yep, but those tools rely on a DLL (msys-1.0.dll or msys-2.0.dll,) which is Cygwin by another name. MSYS is not MinGW. Programs like Bash will never run under MinGW because they rely on things like fork(), which are only provided by Unix, C

It's probably not the intended use case, but I use these more often for testing desktop applications than for testing web pages. It's a shame there's no 64-bit VMs.

It's definitely a failing of modern virtual-memory operating systems that there's no nice way of doing this without getting the filesystem involved or creating race conditions. Windows almost does this right with the Nt* APIs for

by rossy 11y ago
I didn't know it was common for operating systems to let user-mode code adjust the memory segments and for them to persist those changes between context switches. It seems like a pretty niche feature to have in a 64-bit operating syste

Here is the relevant commit: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/441d852 As far as I can tell, none of these new APIs are documented on MSDN. I wonder how Google found out about them.

In general, it seems like FOSS multimedia software blows proprietary software out of the water with regards to format support, and that proprietary software works at a disadvantage, because for them, adding support for a new format means na

I have never had any trouble with FFmpeg on Windows. Even building it from source or building programs that use it is pretty foolproof with MSYS2. FFmpeg also has Windows specific features like DXVA for video decoding and (recently) Schanne

Or 'tmpfile' and 'tmpnam'. Gotta save those characters. 'tempfile' and 'tempname' would be to hard to type. (Also, why not 'tmpfil'?)

Yeah, I can't argue with the rest of the article, but that line sounded strange to me. I understand paying a premium price for a modern MBP (I paid a similar price for a Windows ultrabook that has lasted me a long time,) but $1400 for

Yes! I didn't mind the HFR Hobbit movies at all, but I can't stand the interpolated HFR that comes out of smart TVs. Once you start to notice the artifacts (often distortion or weird juddering in the background,) it becomes much l

If you're using MSYS2 to get your MinGW compilers, the package has been updated, but you won't see builds on the mirrors until all the other packages have been rebuilt for GCC 5.1/5.2 (due to the ABI change.) https:/&#x

I love it. If I installed an uBlock on, say, my grandparent's computer to try to prevent them from getting malware, I would be happy with it blocking SourceForge.

The AGPL is a pain though. MuJS was going to be used to add JS scripting to mpv, but the patch has been put on hold since the devs realised it was AGPL licensed and it could cause license compatibility issues with compiled binaries or libmp

Cygwin and MSYS2 are really underrated for this. I think they do exactly what you want. I often use Bash and find to manage files on Windows.

by rossy 12y ago
> Cmd.exe is an abomination though Agreed, but I don't think Cygwin defaults to it any more. It uses mintty now, which understands Cygwin ptys and has a native Windows interface. I guess you could also use an X11 terminal emulator i

As a MinGW user, I'm pretty excited for this. Using GDB on Windows isn't even a perfect solution for MinGW programs, since they depend on Windows DLLs that use Microsoft format debug information. If LLDB supported both DWARF and P

When you have a limit of 80 characters per line, the indentation width still matters because code that doesn't appear to overflow with 4 space tabs could overflow with 8 space tabs.

Yeah, you're right about that. My trackpad has a bunch of features that are so useless, I just leave them switched off. The scrolling is nice though. I've always wondered if I could switch to an MBP for Windows stuff, but if I did
