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
