    Exactly. I actually enjoy the show. Granted, I occasionally run out of popcorn, but hey, even my popcorn maker runs NetBSD.

    I guess the irony is lost on you here. My initial comment was at least somewhat related to TFS while your whining (do you need another tissue by any chance?) is *pure* noise.

    The question was exceedingly clear: he's looking for suggestions for note-taking software.

    Yes. And the only stated reason for this was "because no longer updated". How does that have anything to do with whether or not I may question the motives?

    What am I even arguing with AC..

    Take your meds, moron. If you want a decent Ask Slashdot, try pushing the submitters to actually include relevant information in their submission.

    it's no longer being updated and I feel it's time to change.

    This mindset is ridiculous. Why do you "feel a need to change" if it still works for you? Are you expecting remote security vulnerabilities to show up in your note-taking software?

  11. So what reverting means has been established by the fact that it has alwasy meant reverting.
    Nice and circular.

    Name an established (then or now) VCS that came before svn and used revert to mean 'undo commit'.

  12. established by...?

  13. What a ridiculous assertion. As if 'revert' has always meant 'undo a commit in your VCS' universally, presumably even before there were any VCS to begin with.

  14. Whether svn got it right or wrong is besides the point. The thing is that the terminology was established, and git changed it.
    And frankly, I don't see how 'revert' cannot mean 'revert working directory changes'. FWIW, this is where git doesn't make sense with reset and the various unrelated things it can do.

    I work at the facility where this was produced and since TFA omits it, I managed to snap a picture of the material.
    Just for you to get an idea of how mind-bogglingly black this is

    Thank me later.

  18. BTW how are the merges going over in svn-land, mr manager?

    We have streamlined our svn merging experience with a webscale cloud enterprise solution giving us low time-to-market and advanced workflow synergies. Why do you ask?

  19. svn revert and git revert do not do the same thing, conceptually.
    svn revert reverts your UNCOMMITTED changes in your working directory.
    git revert reverts commits by producing more commits.

    Which is one of the annoying things with git, it takes existing terminology and gives it another meaning.

    That said, achieving what 'svn revert' does with git is straightforward (git reset --hard), achieving what 'git revert' does with svn is somewhat unintuitive (svn merge -c -<revision> .)

  20. What? No.

    Do you write your code in MS-Word or something? Do the non-ASCII spaces slip in when you cuntpaste code from web pages that are too stupid to even use <code> tags or some other means to preserve the actual characters?

    Hint: stop it. Both of it. You're not doing it right.

    spaces that were different ascii codes.

    Good grief.

    If they find there was tunneling while they weren't looking, that is pretty strong evidence that we are living inside a simulation.

    I doubt it. It's still kind of looking if you arrange for it to do something that you can look at later to indirectly observe what went on when you weren't looking.
