No work, I set `rebase.updateRefs = true` years ago.

'Doesn't use Mercurial' was top of my requirements list last time I left a job that did use it.

Monopolies are made illegal because they limit consumer choice and the role of competition in the free market, distorting incentives. The status quo has all of the problems of a monopoly. Doing this or not doing this won't change that.

For this reason it's essentially impossible to search for solutions to the many bugs in Windows' Multiple Desktops

Non-verbal creatures don't make very good antagonists on their own. Jurassic Park's premise makes it a story about human folly, but the time travel setup would make them a distraction from a moral quandary that we're already

You're not forced to do anything. There are no criminal outcomes of any anticompetitive legislation. For companies, there are civil outcomes. This may be undesirable if you have a large financial interest in the company, but it's

Pointer arithmetic that could overflow would probably involve a heap and therefore be less likely to require a relative, negative offset. Just use the addresses and errors you get from allocation.

In the implementation of something like a deque or merge sort, you could have a variable that represents offsets from pointers but which could sensibly be negative. C developers culturally aren't as particular about theoretical correct

I can't say the same. Telling people to use `-j$(nproc)` in lieu of `-j` to avoid the wrath of the OOM-killer is a rite of passage

>This is unlike C++ templates which are effectively copy-pasting the resolved type with the generic for every occurrence of type resolution. Even this can lead to unworkable compile times, to the point that code is rewritten.

>Codegen is also a problem. Rust tends to generate a lot more code than C or C++ Wouldn't you say a lot of that comes from the macros and (by way of monomorphisation) the type system?

I know. Neither are either. git is noticeably slower, the locking is untenable, the case-insensitivity is a source of bugs.

I don't think the size is trivial, it's 4 times the cache length on x64

I've seen it referred to as 'context drunk'. Imagine that you have your input to the context, 10000 tokens that are 99% correct. Each time the LLM replies it adds 1000 tokens that are 90% correct. After some back-and-forth of

It's the modern equivalent of sending a LMGTFY link, except the insult is from them being purely credulous and sincere

That's the situation we're already in with copyleft licences but legal teams still treat them like the plague.

It's also foolish. Any true PHB has caps on bonuses linked to output that would be too low to enable a minivan.

That results in the same AST, it's not really taking anything away

pfft, that's just symbol versioning

You'd also need a sane filesystem.

Maybe it's baby duck syndrome, but I've gone out of my way to use gdb over VS's debugger. A simple .gdbinit has more expressive scripting power than a GUI can ever allow.

This isn't a coincidence. Microsoft have spent a lot of money, including billions in acquisitions, to maintain some positive developer mindshare.

Sounds like they've consigned you to the knacker yard. It would be easier to get if you were intending to abuse it. I wonder if physicians standards for normal are warped by spending most of their time in contact either with the ill or

Linux and GCC are OSS projects but CPU companies pour work into their development because it's a strict requirement of being able to sell their products.
