Pretty much every linux tool pulls these shenanigans. I hate it when there's no flag to control output.

Generally I agree. Humans are much better at recognizing patterns than machines. But as a counterpoint I was once working in a project where our monitoring dashboard showed an anomaly in incoming traffic. It turned out that it was an ISP pr

Balkanization in the licensing models is the biggest problem for people outside of the US. There is a lot of media that I cannot buy digitally. Some of those I can buy in physical formats, and some I just straight up cannot buy. Period.

My biggest gripe with continuations, futures and callbacks is the propensity for stalls; if the programmer makes a mistake it's quite likely that the program will just stall, with very little insight available as to why that happened.

I probably supressed my memories of connection issues :D I love DVCSes, hated not being able to work offline I agree with the time lapse view and p4merge. Maybe one should hack together a time lapse tool for git? :thonk:

If you read my post again, you'll see that I already mentioned rerere :)

IMO conflict resolution is almost always harder than redoing the change by hand, especially while looking at the old diff and redoing it towards the new branch. Kind of ironic given how hard diff editors try to help.

I really liked Perforce changelists, so in theory I should like the staging area, but I kind of don't :) I use it nowadays, but I think it's too limited to provide value like Perforce changelists does. I'd like to have one ch

git-remove-ref-format vigilantly removes non-annotated remote ref formats using non-configured upstream branches, while applying applicable parents to transfer the given ref formats. https://git-man-page-generator.lokaltog.net

Yeah, but they denied the problem for the longest time, so they deserve some flak for it :)

I don't know, git doesn't have very good memory when doing rebases. You need to redo the same conflict resolution several times. You need rerere to get around that. Plus that it's quite hard to rewrite dates, names, or split

Intersting. I always found git needlessly obtuse, with for instance the status reporting diffs to local remote-tracking branches instead of the actual remote branches, the staging area having an unclear purpose to me at the start, that it m

Agreed. Perforce has much better UX and tooling than git though.

In change management they argue that companies tend to purposely slow down change over time to become more predictable and lock in on the "successful route". That certainly mirrors my experience. The only thing I don't unders

Oracle is a hot mess but it also has some really powerful features, like table sharding , that actually works if you manage to set it up correctly.

Not true. People are trying to use the mental model of a huge stateful desktop app and apply it to the web. That's not to say it's a good idea to use that model, far from it. The web was designed to avoid it for multiple very good

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with say ZK, it's very powerful, but my point is that you should avoid these systems if you can. Distributed concensus is not an easy problem, it's very error prone, and if you do this more

by strictfp 5y ago
Having built many distributed applications I would hesitate to use ZK/consul directly, mostly since your cloud provider is already providing most type of primitives directly or indirectly in the services they provide.

My stance is: why even have any of those? Are you running in a local datacenter?

I disagree. The idea with REST is to push state to the backend, and add links to substates, so that the protocol doesn't have to be stateful, and logic is pushed to the edges of the network. SPAs breaks this principle by making webpage
