Yes, SVN has its use cases, but I came not across them.

Dude, I saw the BitKeeper shitshow unfold.

The creator got butthurt because the community didn't want to use his proprietary client. So they started reverse engineering it with telnet. Then he got so pissed off, he revoked the free license he had granted to the Linux project.

when did that happen?

hasn'

t bit keeper been around since forever?

Alleging they broke the EULA against reverse engineering when installing the client. But since they didn't use the client to reverse engineer, no license was breached.

Right before git was created.

BitKeeper revoked the license, Linux development shut down for a month, while Linus was writing git.

but it's open source now, right?

And you know how SVN was a leap over CVS, because it tracks the whole repo instead of individual files? Guess what, git is designed to also track individual files instead of whole repo, while hg tracks the repo by default.

Open source since 2016, after its user base dropped to nearly zero.

I don't know of a single developer who ever used BitKeeper voluntarily.

A bit like Visual Source Safe, where not even Microsoft would use that steaming pile of shit, but would gladly sell licenses and support.

Typical email in a VSS environment: "who the fuck went home early while holding the lock on this file I need to update?"

i had to use VSS, it gave me ptsd and cancer

It's amazing how Microsoft engineers couldn't figure out it's possible to merge files that were changed concurrently.

I think they could have done that, it's probably more along the lines of whether they liked the feature or deemed it unnecessary.

My main gripe with git is how horribly it fails to "work" as soon as you deviate from the regular "add-commit-push" workflow.

And you have to scramble to stackoverflow to get help.

yeah but I don't know of a better alternative.

Because the manual is full of terms that are unrelated to what you're trying to accomplish, and you even need to use an unrelated git command to do the job you need, as a collateral effect.

Hg, my dude.

Mercurial.

I even `hg clone git://...`.

I never tried either, so I can't really comment on them, but now I will. thanks for the tip

Depending how you get it, it might already come with hg-git and hgsubversion, the two extensions you need to rule them all.

I think TortoiseHg comes with both.

alright, thanks man

HI discord! i need help with math again. (or "maths" if you're weird ;P) Find conditions on "d" such that x^2+y^2=16 and 3x+y=d have zero, one and tow solutions if possible. support your answers algebraically. https://www.desmos.com/calculator using this calc Desmos Graphing Calculator Desmos graph i know that the line intersects the circle at about (+or-) 12.7, but i have to the exact number algebraically, and i keep getting =(+or-)4, and i don't know why, since that's definitely not it

... why would we do your math homework?

Rewrite the second equation so it's `y = ...`, then replace `y` in the first equation with that. You end up with one quadratic equation with one variable, `x`. Find its roots, you end up with an expression with `d` inside a square root operation.

@DanielKO sorry, i got thrown this way, and its part of a "project"

To be more rigorous, break the circle down into two functions; upper semi-circle and lower semi-circle.

```
y = √...
y = -√...```

@DanielKO thanks, i got a finally found a friend of mine, but if that does work, i use that ^, thank you for time

@vapefruit well if the program doesn't use the provided APIs how is microsoft supposed to ensure they work? They can't.

you are not wrong @Deleted User

for applications this is certainly true but in the kernel they constantly mess with things

they change the driver signing rules

they changed certain apis and even structs and told nobody about it

this is how anti virus software breaks all the time

@vapefruit Applications shouldn't be hooking into anything that low level. If it isn't an exposed API things will break

@Deleted User most anti viruses have stopped hooking into things and are using the obcallbacks provided by microsoft which promised to be more sustainable

except they aren't

Driver signing rules IMHO is fine as that is something kernel level.

Even with high level libraries e..g. C# there are problems with people using reflection in certain libraries between .NET version that are compatible e.g. 4.0 vs 4.5 for example

Basically someone has used reflection to use a private method and when the .NET team changes it that lib breaks

@Deleted User yeah I dont do much work with C# though so it's not a personal concern of mine

Well it is the same sort of complaint. People basically used undocumented APIs and it broke a load of code and caused people pain

MS had (not sure if they still do) a division to handle compatibility with older software. Most of their job was identifying which part of the program was using some API wrong, how it just worked by accident, and then replicate the happy coincidence in newer Windows versions, whenever it detects the program doing it wrong.

There was one engineer that posted some articles about it on his msdn blog.

@DanielKO I am aware, however that is them being nice.

One app, I think from Adobe, would forget to initialize a struct to ask for a font. Another, was an audio driver, that would just get stuck in an infinite loop, and the vendor would refuse to fix it.

Never use GoDaddy, they're scammers

@Durtle02 ??? what they aren't bad as a rule

lmao they're not bad they're terrible

setup thread

ill start

How do you even type?

I'm guessing they move the piano when they aren't using it

>inb4 he uses the white keys to chat, and black keys to game.

that would be impressive actually

@Durtle02 Dunno what you are on about, at least in the UK they seem pretty decent. My mate is using them for a few wordpress sites and everything works fine.

@DanielKO obviously they use the keyboard 😄

Aren’t there better free sites then Wordpress?

@Deleted User I run servers and I have a few where we host WordPress sites, did you need one?

No

@Deleted User for ease of use and user support Go Daddy is really good from my experience with them. I haven't had a bad experience with them, even the tech support was pretty helpful (I am a .NET dev so apache stuff / nginx stuff I have a hard time with)

If you're just looking for a host DreamHost is pretty hard to beat in terms of cost/performance

lots of features too, and little hassle

github works for static sites at zero cost

@Deleted User I am going to be waiting for that reason why Flask is bad

Flask is great

@Deleted User has a problem with it

@Deleted User lets hear why?

in favor of what?

i prefer ReactJS + Redux with traditional server (nginx, Apache), or Isomorphic Flux + ReactJS with NodeJS.

apples and oranges then.

@Deleted User good for you

@Deleted User doesn't tell me why .NET or Flask is bad

Jesus, JS sucks donkey balls. Give me .NET over JS any day.

You cannot get around it, if you program Web Apps.

The backend is not JS.

Keep JS inside the browser.

Not on the server.

It is, the backend is another microservice.

NodeJS?

It simply hosts the front end, and from there you make REST calls to the backend API gateway.

yo dawg, I heard you like callbacks, so I put callbacks in your callbacks so you can callback while you callback

@DanielKO do me a favour tell me why .NET is bad today, not 15 years ago.

Whose `this` is this `this` again?

Point was, Flask is not that secure, I heard from my friend, who had to hack it in a master security course.

@Deleted User tell me the security vunerabilities

I personally cannot.

@Deleted User tell me something more than "my mate said"

I can ask him, when I meet him.

@Deleted User so you don't know shit
