Well, to give some perspective, the hg command to do what you want is hg status -i.

There are equivalent options to the hg status command to list only added, deleted, modified, deleted on disk but still tracked, files in the repo that are neither ignored nor tracked, and files that match the current checked-out commit. Admittedly, git status shows more information, but then again, hg usually doesn't need you to know about what you current state is to predict what will happen when you run a command.
Dumb comparison. At least medicine heals people.
Fun maybe, but it's not really practical.
The real problem is that the majority of us probably are actually capable of doing actual software development right when we come out of school. Most of us get slotted into crappy plumbing and middleware jobs, and after 5-10 years those skills get rusty. They can come back; but if you end up out on the job market, being asked some of the advanced questions in interviews. . . well good luck. That situation exposes one fairly quickly.
I have two - a 2015 MBP and an Acer Chromebook R11.

I absolutely adore this Acer Chromebook R11. For $250, you get almost tablet like battery life, very light and an 11" touch screen. I just wish it's a bit more powerful. If anyone know such a laptop exist, recommend one for me.
Also, actual SEC filings. But fine, here's a paper: https://business.illinois.edu/accountancy/wp-content/uploads...

I can't find it now, but I do recall the SEC itself putting the number of frauds they uncovered in the low single digits. I might ask my SEC friend himself what percentage of the iceberg he thinks is uncovered.
Relax a little, the poster outright said it was a guess. They were just offering a POSSIBLE explanation based off of their personal views, no need to pull out your Empiricism 101 textbook.
Lenovo Yoga 4K 16G 1TB - $1500 right now at their site. I used to use Linux exclusively on my older system, but needed Windows 10 to be onsite for a job - so when I got this one I installed Ubuntu via the WSL, and it does exactly what MSFT intended - work well enough for my mostly command line world that I left Windows on the machine even after I didn't need it for the job any longer.

I have a Surface Pro 4, but am considering upgrading to a Dell Latitude 7285, because it has a hard base keyboard (like a Surface Book), LTE, and a few nice features I can't get from the Surface line.
2015 Macbook Pro with i7-4870HQ, AMD R9 M370X graphics, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD.

It's my primary machine. I've normally been a "PC" guy but picked up the Macbook because of a visual impairment where most cheap laptop screens hurt my eyesight. It's much better now that I've gotten medical treatment for it, but I don't regret purchasing this laptop anyways.

It's still early days but Chinese companies now manufactor NVMe to Apple SSD adapters. Once that stabilizes I think I'm going to pick up a 2TB SSD and continue using this laptop.

Still plan to build myself a new desktop for home after the whole GPU shenanigans get better.
I was seeing claims of a firm having a 'short' interest in AMD and thus they were trying to sandbag the stock[1]. Sounds like this security firm might be more of an investment firm just trying to push a stock a certain way?

2017 15" Macbook Pro with Touch Bar.

I can barely stand to use this busted keyboard. 90% of the time I use a full size magic keyboard. I routinely hit the touch bar and mute the computer. The trackpad is too big and will catch my palm.

Would rather have a Thinkpad running Linux or an old MBP/MB Air. This likely could be the last Apple laptop I get, 14 or so years after I bought a 12.1" Powerbook G4.
In this context, "native" and "machine-language" are synonymous, and V8/Node do in fact generate native code/machine-language from WASM. The GP did correctly answer the OP's question, but it's not clear if the OP had a more specific question in mind.

The phrase you're looking for is "Ahead-of-Time" or "AoT" compiler. It's not clear if the OP was specifically looking for an AoT compiler, or if a JIT suffices for her/his use case.
Also Air 11" (2013). Been good. It's ok for coding as well if you doing simple stuff. Was rock solid with Mavericks but I was forced to upgrade to High Sierra and CalandarAgent went a bit nuts using 100% cpu.
Implementing GUI apps in C#/.net with visual studio basically just works. C# as a language is 'fine'. And generics seem to be well implemented. Microsoft documentation for simple stuff is reasonably clear.

I think .net timers not so much.
Huh. That sounds very interesting.

What sort of protocols are used for this kind of thing, and what would I research if I wanted to do this myself?
For me, it's cheap, cheap, cheap.

My "desktop" is an Asus 11.6" cheapie running Win8. I've got a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, plugged into it. I can also disconnect it and use it as a conventional notebook. It was on sale at Best Buy for under 300 bucks, don't remember exactly how much.

My "notebook" is an Asus 10" convertible, where the screen detaches from the keyboard and becomes a tablet, running Win10. It's one of those things with no hard disk, and a relatively small amount of flash storage. It was a refurb, for around 100 bucks.

Touch screen, wireless mouse, and decent keyboard shortcuts have pretty much eliminated the need to care about the quality of the trackpad. I love the touch screens.

I don't need much by way of performance: Browser, Python, Jupyter, for interesting but relatively lightweight computation.

Now back to the cheap thing. I've decided that starting with a really cheap computer is basically my "insurance policy" against the thing getting lost, stolen, or crushed.

For work, 2016 ThinkPad X1, 14".

Works great, would recommend, runs Debian just fine.
I'm sorry for you. I bought the same laptop and you're right. The touchpad is gar-bage.

I purchased it with a 2.4-only wifi card. Did you know the bios enforces a whitelist restricting which wifi cards you can install? I didn't, now I'm stuck.

It wasn't cheap, but this was the first (and last) Lenovo I'll ever buy...
Same, a Zenbook as well, I can't find any better than Zenbook, they run so well.
The Thinkpad t4xx line are one of the most durable and ergonomic laptops out there. They won't work for graphics worloads but for programming they're exquisite. I can find a t470 "used" model for only 800$, retail price is like 1800$.
I'm using a ThinkPad X270.

Pros:

Excellent Linux support, zero issues even on day 1

Performs very well

Good battery life (my fans never even turn on during normal use)

Inexpensive (mine was about $850, you can spend more if you want PCIe storage, or other high end upgrades)

Expandable (standard 2.5" SATA, upgradable RAM, upgradable WiFi)

Full port selection (2xUSB-A, 1xUSB-C, HDMI, Ethernet, SD Card, Headphone)

Good keyboard, TrackPoint mouse (touchpad is also a "precision" touchpad, though I dont use it)

The 1080p IPS screen is pretty good, and standard, unlike the last ThinkPad I had

Good BIOS update support, ThinkPads are supported for many years including very fast turn around on things like BIOS level security updates

Negatives:

The build quality could be better (its not a MacBook), but it feels solid and I've yet to break a ThinkPad. If plastic bothers you, look elsewhere.

Other computers fit a 13.3" display into the space Lenovo fits a 12.5"
Dell Precision M6600 [0] purchased used for $250. I especially like the 17.3" anti-glare display.

Thinkpad 25th Anniversary Edition. I'm very happy with it, but picked it specifically because of the keyboard. If you prefer the Mac-style keyboard, I'd instead suggest you look at the X1 Carbon or the T Series. I've used Thinkpads for years and am very happy with their durability and reliability.
2015 Macbook pro. I switched to Mac as I was not happy with Windows Vista, and never looked back
In the same boat as you. If Apple doesn't fix this horrible keyboard in the next release, I think I'll finally switch to ThinkPad.
Yes, this was on my iPhone. I always hav Safari set to Private mode so I think there is no history.
Coding Dojo Troubleshooting
Been a Macbook user for 8+ years. I used to like their products, but recently I can't stand them. The MagSafe chargers are very unreliable, and yes, USB-C with the extra dongles is annoying. The overall build quality seems to have gotten much worse recently. 2 weeks ago I bought a Thinkpad T440p and installed OpenBSD. Love it! The one thing I miss is Sublime Text, which I have gotten quite used to, but I'm sure I'll get used to Emacs again.
I use the X1 Carbon and I am pretty happy with it. Compared to older models the keyboard and mouse (red dot in keyboard) are not as good as they used to be and the case does not shut in a way that the lid fits 100%. But other than that the laptop is a beast and I am happy that Lenovo gave up on stupid keyboards. The above made me consider to install Linux on a MacBook. Maybe that is something for you. It will not fix the keyboard issue but maybe the crashing when you connect external screens. Hope you find a satisfying solution!
Everyone I get to try a real ThinkPad loves them and can't imagine how they operated before. The new ones even come in white so you can look cool.

Personally I like the X250 (12”). The newer models get a bit hot. The X1 is often enjoyed. I'm also good with the T4x0s which are slim but have even better keyboards.

Unfortunately you're forced into choosing between the models which force tradeoffs as far as screen resolution, heat, keyboard off-centre (15" models have a numpad which unbalances things). Lenovo refuses to allow you to get a no compromises model.

Linux suppose is good, though I'd suggest Windows as host OS then run everything in a VM. Less hassle with drivers that way.

Other competitors are worse than Lenovo. I find MacBooks unergonomic with horrible heat issues. Asus makes cute stuff but feels sorta cheap. No one seems to ship great keyboards.
I guess you missed the fact that this whole thread is about them forcing shit updates onto their users, even though they set their OS to not auto-update. Would you call that user-friendly?

Dell Chromebook 2 with the i3 and 4g of ram running Fedora.
It's sleek and has fantastic battery life, as well as enough processing power to compile stuff / watch HD videos. It was less than $400, highly recommended if you can find one.

And they remain expandable in an age of integration. A 2.5" drive bay means I can throw in a 2TB SSD. A removable battery means I can carry 16 hours of work time. The memory is even on DIMMs.
Is the heat as bad as reviews say? The X250 seems to be the last X2x0 with a reasonable heat signature. In can't stand having the keyboard be even warm.
I actually do have ubuntu installed on it but its not usable atm due to a bug in the broadcom driver

Based on the article, I don't think this is right. http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/cosmos/S/Spin-flip+Transition, linked, describes the 21cm emission as occurring once every 10 million years for a single atom.
I went from an X1 carbon to an XPS 13 to a 2015 MBP.

I really wanted to love the XPS. It was a beautiful machine. Unfortunately I hated the keyboard, my touchpad was extremely buggy, the webcam placement was horrid, and I'm not a fan of the lack of ports. Our company stopped offering them as an option (and switched to the similar HP model) because there were so many complaints.

The X1 was really great, though.
I am currently using the MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) with 16gb ram and a 250gb ssd. I have had to have the screen replaced for the lamination unsticking, and the fan replaced since it was starting to sound like a trash compactor.

Apart from that these are decent laptops, I'd recommend the macbook air though which is what I had before, the screen is about the same for normal use (excluding photo editing) and it is much cheaper. Use either of these with a good 4kp60 monitor/mouse/kb and you're set. Get a desktop box with a couple 1080ti if you need to do number crunching and set it up in the corner..
The JVM also forces one to adopt the JVM's high-level object model and use the JVM's garbage collector. Plenty of languages have a large semantic mismatch with Java, and shoehorning them onto the JVM is cumbersome.

I was just looking at the x270. The prospect of having LTE in my daily driver laptop excites me (supported out of the box on the x270).

The 440 and 540 have the ridiculous no-button trackpad. So bad even Lenovo reversed position for the next gen. You can buy a 450 or 550 trackpad to replace it for under 100$. Will make a huge difference.

Lenovo X260 running Linux (doesn't matter which one really, I am happy with Fedora (25 to 27) for desktop, though I've been a Debian/Ubuntu user for far longer than I like to think about). I use i3 Window manager and now find anything else intolerable. (And I'm sure everyone near me now finds my attitude towards i3 intolerable).

I fully tricked the X260 out: i7, 16gb, 2tb ssd (aftermarket addon) and most importantly the Lenovo WWAN card for Internet everywhere. I just picked one up on Ebay for $900 AUD second hand with 8/512 for my sister. Brand new mine was only $2200 in one of Lenovo's rare sales (The ones that only happen when their website is up, does anyone pay full price?).

Everything "just works", sound, sleep/resume, hdmi, mini DP, etc.

I've replaced everything I had on Mac except for:
Readdle Tools. I'm a student and find the PDF reading markup invaluable and I have an iPad. Though now I have the WWAN I am leaving the iPad at home this semester.
Evernote. Why oh why don't they have a native client for Linux. NixNote is not up to my size Evernote folder.
Karabiner (Elements), Better Touch Tool & Typinator. Open to suggestions for shortcut management and text expansion for i3.
Mac Automator: I know I can do most of it in Python, but for some GUI things this was amazing.

Gripes:
Proprietary charging port. (Oh for USB C.).
Random crashes that turned out to be because the plastic case was flexing and touching the RAM. A strategic piece of foam solved that. (My sister's one didn't have that issue).

I didn't get the fingerprint reader so I don't know if it works on Linux.
Use Practical Common Lisp [0] as the book to start learning Lisp, Common Lisp is the more production version lisp.

Download LispWorks Personal Edition [1], if you want to start working with an IDE setup. Use it when working through PCL. LW also has GUI library, mobile runtimes and other libraries available from QuickLisp [2], CL's package manager to install various libraries.

After working through PCL, you will have a good CL foundation. You can expand your macro (pun unintended) knowledge by working through [3].

Other good resources: PAIP and Land of Lisp. Note about PAIP is more a specific application of CL to solve classical AI Problems, despite that it is still counted as among the best programming books out there. Hope this helps and `Welcome to the Dark Side`.

PS: Except `Land of Lisp` cited in the resources, everything is free.

My mother in law is a master confabulator. She makes up stories out of whole cloth and absolutely believes them. They range from the mundane to the fantastic to the impossible. Some examples:

One year she was disappointed that we didn't come to spend Christmas Eve with her. She never called to make plans because she imagined we'd just come over because "that's what we always do." In reality--we have never spent xmas eve together-- ever.

She insists there was a ghost in her house which played pranks on her and-- in full view of two other people levitated a potted plant and threw it at her.

and her masterpiece-- blaming me for her husband's death (of cancer) because I asked him to come to his daughter's graduation ceremony. I don't even know what to do with this one.

The maddening thing is, these people absolutely believe these things. They will argue until they are blue and tell you that you're crazy. It's hard to even blame them in the end.

I use a Microsoft Surface Book (1) with performance base. After Microsoft ironed out the firmware bugs it is a fantastic laptop/3-in-1, with a good weight, good keyboard/trackpad, and very good battery life (when docked). I use it 80% of the time as a laptop, and the touch is for content consumption, laziness, or testing touch interaction.

I think Microsoft's Surface Laptop is likely a slightly superior device for my uses but the loss in battery life (from 81.0 Wh in the Surface Book w/performance base to only 45.2 Wh in the Surface Laptop) is a shame. It is one of the costs for that 0.68 pound (20%~) weight saving.

Biggest downside of the range is the lack of ports/adapter usage, which is legitimately obnoxious day to day. I still type meeting notes (often in OneNote ironically) even with the pen right there, it is simply faster. The fact this still has MagSafe is super nice (miss that).

I'd particularly recommend the Original Surface Book right now as they're clearance prices (due to the 2), and still highly premium hardware/experience.
Regarding the ghost thing, I assume it wasn't the case here, but it could be a life-or-death situation... see this video (I don't want to spoil it so I won't say more): https://www.ted.com/talks/carrie_poppy_a_scientific_approach...

You really must understand how the git content-oriented filesystem works, what a commit is, and how it works internally to avoid becoming very confused.
