I don't think there's anything wrong with stashes, but there's another interesting trick that you might want to try for this purpose: commit the dead-end, then immediately make a revert commit. You can even add a rationale in

Safari does not behave as you've described. The subdomain (for example, 'gist' in 'gist.github.com') is displayed.

That's not really a good counterexample. Do you think that Roof attended the bible study with the intent of actually discussing -- let alone listening to -- anything? It was almost without question just part of the setup for his atta

I don't know where the line is (and I think it's pretty fuzzy and dependent on someone actually noticing and caring), but copy shops will certainly refuse to reprint an entire book for you.

Not to say that I don't think this is cool, but it seems impossible. How are you going to deal with the copyright issues of commercially printing work by arbitrary authors? (Not the part where you reformat stuff for a user to print at

Might have been better to link to the docs ( https://chronologicaldot.github.io/CopperLang/ ), where the "simplicity" part of the pitch is made clearer, as well as the inspiration from JS and Lisp. Reading thro

This is in the context of properties in ObjC, which will synthesize accessor methods for the developer. If the property is marked `atomic` (which is also the default), the getter and setter will share a mutex. The mutex makes reads and writ

There were no damages as far as I know: I'm not sure what the OLGA org consisted of, but I don't believe it ended up going to court. They decided the fight was too big. I think that the situation is like this. The music publishers

I wouldn't say "seamless". Interacting with C directly from Swift is possible, and fine from a binary perspective, but quite clunky at the source level. (Which obviously is a motivation for the library that is being announc

Wow. That's a good way to end up as a missing skeleton in the middle of nowhere like the unfortunate "Death Valley Germans" that were discussed a few months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23582417

In fairness, a lot of what you described is probably what ambitious and extraverted hopeful executives are doing implicitly and instinctively in their heads. It's just that in the context of you being an engineer and "saying the q

The difference here is that Apple is the originator and primary influence for a language that it markets as being applicable to the same use cases as Rust. That said, as has been pointed out, this seems to be one team making a technical dec

It's a bit circular, though, isn't it? It is in part due to the fact that a mechanical engineer _has_ that legal certification that they have the standing to meaningfully object, and actually be listened to by their PHB.

Yeah, I will go out of my way to avoid shared paths, so I guess we just have different tolerances for these things. :) I do have a bell and a voice and I'm ready to use them if needed, but I'm happier when they're irrelevant.

I have a very different experience than you. I ride or walk everywhere I go. Bikes may be slower than cars, but -- when they're being used for commuting, not toodling around on a Sunday afternoon -- they are much, much faster than pede
