Pijul looks very interesting but unfortunately as it stands (and without a huge open source project à la Linux to back it) I can't really imagine it taking over git as it stands. It might be better than git but is it enough an improvement to justify the cost of switching? I'm not sure.

Now if pijul takes inspiration from Fossil and implements things like issue tracking as part of the DCVS then that would be an other story as far as I'm concerned. That would be a pretty radical upgrade from git.
Sytse is quite active on here - wondering if he will comment about this?

Edit: if you look in the link it seems he has made a comment on the issue:

"This is really interesting. We need to make sure that by integrating Mercurial we do not slow down the future progress of GitLab. Now that we have a clean abstraction with Gitaly 1.0 coming in 11.3 this is a good time to look into it"
A sane user interface without page length manuals how to recover a working copy, that usually end up with nuking the work directory and doing a fresh git clone instead.

We do have quite a lot of info on who are "US citizens who speak up, protest, or embarrass the president of the USA" and who get killed by drones. They don't overlap much. You don't get Drones trying to take out Mueller and the Taliban types who get hit are much more like military/terrorist enemies than political foes.
They are beautiful outside me. When they were inside me they were very painful. The feeling of passing them via urine is crazy pain worse then getting kicked in the nuts.
I feel the same way.

How do you function as an engineer in a world with too much stuff. The most useful thing I can do is not to add to the pile of useless gizmo we covered the world with.

A bit over the top I know, but this is seriously impacting my work as I can't find any pride in what I do.

A very good graphic novel if you are interested in the subject and want to have an overview in the issue (and happen to speak french)[1].

This a million time. With VSCode being more popular than sublime text now, not having first class git integration just after installing sublime text is a serious reason not to use it.
I believe GP is not talking about thread parallelism, but rather the compiler-controlled instruction reordering. Compilers typically reorder instructions in the hope that it will improve performance. For example if you have v+=2, the compiler can choose to load v into a register, and then continue with the rest of the statements, and ten instructions later perform the actual addition and store it back into memory.
Stupidness and smartness are two subjective concepts.

In some parts of the world, all individuals have an opinion, a right to express their opinions, and a right to disagree with others' opinions.

‘Your Mission Is to Keep All This from Collapsing into Nuclear Hellfire’
This is indeed very sane. One thing I personally would change is making a trailing comma in multiline lists obligatory, like in Go.

I hope this gains traction, so that I could use it in my projects without people being upset about "some obscure configuration language".

Cool! I was an early GitKraken adopter (and dropper), maybe I missed it or it simply wasn't in there at the time.
Suspect that in the majority of cases it's a bit like people inventing their own (human) constructed language - it's an interesting intellectual exercise in its own right and allows the inventor to indulge in a bit of wish fulfilment by emphasising features that they personally value.

As in the human conlang case, it would be alarming or bizarre if the inventor genuinely expected others to start coding in their language, especially if it has no compelling features that are not found elsewhere: although Perl, C++, Rust and others came primarily from motivated individuals "scratching an itch", those langs were able to flourish because they fill(ed) an empty evolutionary niche.

What I do find peculiar is other people then piling in with all sorts of suggestions for enhancements and tweaks that imply that the particular hobby language in question does have a legit future out in the field.

A simple "no, this has been discussed before" is plenty respectful. there's no need to spend any more words on it unless someone specifically challenges with new and relevant information.

Having a CoC doesn't mean you have to entertain crazy ideas, it just means your response should be a plain "no" instead of "no, you crazy fool" even if that's what you really think.
I've quickly played with it just now and I can't see how you could use Vapid to create new blog posts. It seems to be a simple dashboard for existing content, but I couldn't figure out how to create new content.

The point of insurance is pooling the risk of individuals with similar risk profile. If the point was to distribute the risk evenly you would make auto insurance obligatory for people who doesn’t own a car.

Giving resources to people according to their needs is not really insurance’s role. It may be done through taxes, it may be done through “insurance” but then it is not insurance anymore.
It does look very similar to a language I wrote: https://github.com/Keats/scl although SCL supports files inclusions and environment variables out of the box.

I would definitely change the supposed pronunciation though, no one is going to pronunce san as sane.
I used Mercurial as my main DCVS (and even pushed it at work) for many years, but now I faced the fact that git won and use it for everything. I have to use git anyway, so I might as well not deal with two different workflows and use git exclusively.

Mercurial was ahead of git for a long time as far as usability and documentations were concerned. I still think it's a better match than git for many uses cases. Mercurial makes the simple stuff simple and the complicated stuff complicated (although still achievable), whereas git is more of a mixed bag in my experience. Git was superior for very large projects with many contributors working on completely different features and sending each other patches by email (e.g. the Linux kernel) but in practice 99% of projects, both FLOSS and corporate, don't have this profile. Git is a formula one, mercurial is more like a comfortable Sedan, so to speak[1].

I think git made it mainly because it could boast hosting the Linux kernel development and all the cool kids were on github.

[1] Which reminds me of this "Git is MacGuyver, Mercurial is James Bond" comparison which is probably widely out of date by now: https://importantshock.wordpress.com/2008/08/07/git-vs-mercu...

First impressions, it's quite nice, super snappy as promised.

I normally use SmartGit, which is also quite snappy, though is a bit clumsy with its windows. But I think SmartGit still has quite a bit of an edge when it comes to presenting diffs and the branching history at the moment.

I'll give it a go for a bit though and see if it grows on me

I don't think people found git better than hg (or monotone), but it got a lot more attention (due to Linus) and using two different systems is a pain.

Have been working on something similar for a specific niche of CMSs, do you handle primitive lists/lists of complex types? (E.g. to create nav bars that can be modified by the CMS)
Yes! Absolutely! So I can focus on innovating where it matters (the product I'm developing). It alao would mean those things would be extremely polished (because a lot of people affected and interested to make it good). Also I would not need to learn so much random stuff I don't really care about.

Partitioning Improvements in PostgreSQL 11
AFAIK languages "compile to C" mainly because they use C as an intermediate representation and the C compiler as the last stage of the compile/link process, so kitlang itself doesn't need to support code generation for various CPUs, and also doesn't need to implement an LLVM frontend. Instead it uses the target platform's C compiler, which is a lot less work but has basically no downsides.

Also the C IR code might make it easier to interop with other languages, since C is basically the 'lingua franca' that all other languages can talk to in some form.
My impression was always that Mercurial wasn't entirely stable/reliable.

Especially the Windows port seemed rather prone to corruption.

http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/05/12/weak-men-are-superweapo...

When a journalist looking to craft a story quotes someone they've encountered personally, they had the pick of at most maybe 1000 people they spoke to that day. Likely far fewer - they have a story to finish and limited time. So while their quote will support the narrative they want to push, there's a limit to how far they can distort reality; if a view is rarer than 1/100, they likely won't find the quote they wanted.

Being able to sift 100 million people for the position they want changes that. We're used to assuming anything quoted by a journalist is, if not perfectly representative, then close to representative - a view that, while maybe not the majority, is held by something like that 1/100 or better. Twitter changes that.
If you are looking for a YAML alternative, https://sdlang.org is also worth considering. It's a bit richer.

It's crazy to me how often these kind of stories come out of the US. It just shouldn't happen that often that someone is convicted of murder on weak evidence. The number of prisoners per capita seems to indicate that it's not just anecdotes. I can't help but feel that the US simply doesn't have a proper functioning justice system.
The Making of Underrun – A WebGL Shooter in 13kb of JavaScript
Thanks, the fact that they can share packages (and eventually maybe themes) sounds great.

If it's possible, I'd also like some auto-sync mode (e.g. when a folder with a git repo is opened/active in sublime text, have sublime merge automatically switch to that).

Eventually, perhaps Merge can just be an extra tab (or something similar), inside ST, for people with both licenses.

GDPR bores the hole off of me so I haven't done much reading, but I do remember a court dismissing a piracy case recently because 'IP addresses alone are not enough to identify an individual' - how would this play in to this scenario?

Tally – An app to write your calculations as a note
There are many ways to use Twitter that aren't social media per se and which are useful.

I work with a school and they Tweet out stuff bout what is happening at the school, photos of student activities, etc which parents love. They tweet out thanks to organisations that they are working with or who have come to visit. People working there follow the Twitter accounts of education specialists, regulators, other schools, education department officials etc. All useful stuff.

"If you want a press release for your paper you need to make sure the relevant data is available to people who otherwise only have access to the article." You're assuming the authors of the article have more than a modicum of control over what appears in an unrelated print magazine.

Having been on the end of that: They don't.

Also, 70 subjects is decently well powered for their analysis, which is actually pretty simple. It's not nearly what I'd prefer, but it's just a bunch of Mann-Whitney U tests and chi-squared tests of association.

What are the chances of being able to "switch mode" from Sublime text itself? What would be killer for me is to do some work, and then jump to this view to commit / review changes / pull in other changes - I appreciate that it's a very different mode, but the integration would really help. Looks great so far!
Introducing Azure Repos
Thanks for your informative reply. I'm not much of a Java programmer (my experience is mainly C and more recently C++, plus a lot of traditional scripting languages) - when you say C++ knows what's linked from another library, are you referring to the dynamic linking process, where ld at least looks at all the libraries and resolves the references at link time, is that correct? Whereas Java has to resolve all its references to stuff in .jar files at runtime?
One man's manipulation is another's customer service. The business model is to give you more of what you read, share and reply to, and less of what you don't. I don't see how that's "manipulation" any more than my local coffeeshop selling me good coffee so that I'll keep coming back and buying more coffee from them is "manipulation".

If your social media experience is "awful" I think that's a reflection of you rather than something inherent in the system. My social media experience is pretty positive, because that's what I engage with and respond to.

The fact that someone can do that doesn't change the social function of the actual thing.

Actually, that is essentially how an insurer gets started. Obviously, you can't start selling insurance to your first customer if you can't pay them out the next day if needed, so you need some capital to get started. And once you have the risks figured out, there really is no reason why you shouldn't keep selling insurance to the next ten customers as well. And the next thousand customers. And the next ... --well, the point being, if you have done your math right, you are now distributing the risk evenly, with some profit margin for you.
I think this is a horrible idea.

Just imagine how many times we have been wrong in our judgement of the behaviour of citizens. What would the social credit score of Ghandi or Martin Luther Kind have been, at the time of their prominent actions?

We have proven time and time again that there is no sure way to judge how "social and acceptable" something is, and the value of a behaviour to our society.

What is seen as "unsocial" today may be applauded by historians in the future.

Rust, Go, Swift, etc... are like super-tankers compared to those small "better-C" languages.
