Let me try to take the other side: `ctx.Value` is an `any -> any` kv store that does not come with any documentation, type checking for which key and value should be available. It's quick and dirty, but in a large code base, it can

Could you please elaborate on how repack/gc is handled with a libgit2 backend? I know that Alibaba has done something similar in the past based on libgit2, but I have yet to see another implementation in the wild like this. Very cool p

It's a humbling experience that the opening talk of this year BazelCon is about research into projects that FAILED to adopt Bazel. You can check out the slides of the talk here https://static.sched.com/hosted_files&#x2F

> What's the option if I want to learn Bazel to an intermediate level and I don't work with former Googlers? The best way to learn it would be to use it yourself and try solving problems with it. You don't need an xoogler

I think that's one way to look at productivity. I used to think like that when I was in a dysfunctional team as well. However, I do see value in issue tracking as I have seen how it helped drive top-down decisions on a large scale with

I don't get the negativity. This is a great upgrade for enterprise user persona and is a catch up comparing to Gitlab Issue or Linear. I hope they put more effort into this.

This is just integrated codegen into the build tool, right? Datadog has a similar project here https://github.com/DataDog/orchestrion that does the same thing. I think this kind of code gen is very wonky, and hard to d

Kinda weird because they have already relicensed the entire repo recently. I wonder what problem they are trying to solve with a private repo.

Do you know what happened to Kythe/Grok? Is the project being shutdown or if there is a new team being spun up in another region?

I wonder if Godot would help making the mobile ports easier. It took them several years to release an iOS version and a few more for android.

What is the comparison between using musl and traditional glibc? Is there performance differences between the two? I have been seeing musl used more and more in both Rust and Zig ecosystems lately.

I love this story so much. It goes to show that there is an "art" side to software creation that is often missed and ignored.

Are you sure? There is find definition and references in https://cs.opensource.google/bazel/bazel and Im quite sure it's thanks to the Kythe indexing job Bazel team is running in CI.

1. I don’t think anyone who know enough about Bazel to describe it as simple. 2. Why do you dislike Java? Most of FAANGMULA uses it in some capacity no?

Some of the recent tool started to come out to fix Git unfriendly UX. Meta's Sapling (1) is definitely one of them. But there is also `jj` (2) and `git-branchless` (3). These tools target a smaller set of workflow where there is 1 main

Not quite sure how I feel about all the ClientSecret being hardcoded https://github.com/hickford/git-credential-oauth/blob/62635f... Is this the only way to make OAuth credential helper work?

Not only it's distributed like distcc, Bazel also provide sandboxing to ensure that environment factors does not affect the build/test results. This might not mean much for smaller use cases, but at scale with different compiler t

Similar to EdenFS/Sapling VCS, buck2 is being developed as such a fast pace that it's hard to imagine there would be any OSS support for it. Together with buck2 are 3-5 other repos that are supposed to be built and used together w

Git has 2 object stores: the loose object store and the packed object store. What you said is applicable to the loose object store where a full copy of the file is stored as plain text. Those could be deduplicated quite nicely, and git does
