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.
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
