isxek··on Mercurial 2.9 released
If you're using just Git, have you tried Git Extensions (https://code.google.com/p/gitextensions/)? We don't use any submodules where I work, so I've never tried it with that.
isxek··on Mercurial 2.9 released
Speaking for myself: the one specific thing I use every now and then in Mercurial is "hg serve" command. It allows me to serve up my changes to others in an ad-hoc way without needing to set up a repo in the usual places (Bitbucket, Github, etc.).

If one needs to set up a local repo hosting service for internal use in a .NET company, there's SCM Manager (http://www.scm-manager.org/), which is free, supports both Hg and Git, and (IMO) pretty easy to put up on a Windows server. I have not tried others that use purely Git, though, and I've never tried setting SCM Manager up on a Linux server.

Personally, I have no problem if the whole team decides to use Git instead of what we're using now (TFS), but most of them, if not all, avoid the CLI like a plague. Even with excellent GUI frontends like Git Extensions and SourceTree.

isxek··on A command-line murder mystery
Thanks! I'll be checking this out then.

Are the executables listed in https://github.com/bmatzelle/gow/wiki/executables_list sufficient for use with this?
isxek··on The Myth of the Overqualified Worker
I'm guessing it had something to do with some of the recent episodes in Dilbert:

isxek··on Show HN: Witching Isle 1 (interactive fiction)
Here's a slightly better-looking version using the Parchment interpreter (same game):

isxek··on Developer and Power Users Tool List for Windows
This was written in 2010. Any plans for updating this list? (e.g., the link for "tclock2" is dead).
isxek··on Developer and Power Users Tool List for Windows
For multiple files: TABS2Spaces (http://bluefive.pair.com/tabs2spaces.htm), which is a GUI application, and tabspace (http://stefanstools.sourceforge.net/tabspace.html), which is a CLI one. The latter also removes trailing whitespace (though it can be told not to via the /leaveeol parameter).
isxek··on Nine awesome features and extensions for Mercurial
Thanks for mentioning this! I have the 'record' extension enabled on my Windows box, but I'm going to try this fork here and see. Will add this onto the Hg wiki as well.

Git has its own bundle/unbundle commands. AFAIK, the reflog simply has no equivalent in Hg.
isxek··on South African Dept of Education effectively bans FOSS
His comment was downvoted by other users. (Not me, though - I don't have enough rep/karma points yet.)
isxek··on Pinay traumatized by horror trip to US
Thanks, I guess. Would have loved visiting other places there but it looks like it might be safer to avoid them for now.
isxek··on What If IBM’s Watson Dethroned Google as the King of Search?
Or probably even "meh."
isxek··on I Am An Object Of Internet Ridicule, Ask Me Anything
...and (probably) helped him avoid all this hate.
isxek··on I Am An Object Of Internet Ridicule, Ask Me Anything
Unfortunately, the two cute girls I was writing a story for are cropped out.

Looking at the whole picture now, it still doesn't appear evident (at least to me) that the two ladies chatting beside him were waiting for their story to be done.

I agree with the author: seeing his sign more would have put more context into the picture.

isxek··on I Am An Object Of Internet Ridicule, Ask Me Anything
I remember reading somewhere about Harlan Ellison doing the same thing during a science fiction world convention many years ago, after which Ben Bova (then editor-in-chief for Analog sci-fi magazine) bought the whole piece.

In other words, yeah, I'd like to see more of this.

isxek··on Bullshit Job Title Generator
"Ultra Un-Usable." Ouch.
isxek··on Bullshit Job Title Generator
Spent long nights working on that complicated Backbone/jQuery/Ember app? Be a "Javascript Pizza Reheater."

Now I'm wondering what they have for Python users.

isxek··on ReactOS: Rebuilding Microsoft Windows from the ground up, fully open-source
What's interesting is that the screenshots they have showing how to check out the code using SVN has context menu options for Git:

isxek··on Koding: Cloud development, private VMs (with root) and much more is now public
Does anyone have a link to the pricing info? It's not available anywhere on the https://koding.com homepage. I'd like to know what's actually free and what's paid upfront (hopefully without needing to create an account).

The closest I can find is this snippet from a year ago [1]:

As of right now, Devrim Yasar said, Koding gives developers free access to the social IDE to create their applications, and a pricing system will be worked out for companies interested in purchasing their own solutions. Developers interested in using the free services need not worry: He said anything that is free now will always remain free.

isxek··on PuTTY 0.63 released, fixing four security holes
There's a fork named ConsoleZ [1] which is more actively developed. It provides a number of features which goes well with newer versions of Windows.

isxek··on No filter: the meanest thing Paul Graham said to a startup
This post is very gladwellesque; presents an anecdote then draws a very general conclusion based on it (being honest is good).

This is off-topic, but: if "gladwellesque" ever becomes a popular word, I hope this post gets recorded as its first use.

isxek··on An easy way to share files P2P, and how it works
The FAQ link goes to the Github bugtracker. Can we have a proper FAQ page, please?
isxek··on Python Tools for Visual Studio
Question: Why did the PTVS developers eventually adopt the .sln|.*proj file thing that other MS languages (C#, VB) use?

As far as I can remember, there was some resistance to going through that route before (v1.5 didn't have this, I think).

isxek··on Using Git with Dropbox
Something faster, something that didn't require connection to central server, yet still allowed me to access my work on both my home and work computers. Git alone met majority of these requirements, I just needed a remote repository to share and sync my work between computers.

Other DVCS's (Hg, Fossil, Bazaar, Monotone, etc.) did not?

isxek··on DevDocs
In the link for the alternative icon, the icon designer has declined to enter any new discussions, as he felt "insulted" with the Dash developer's reactions on Twitter. He feels any more discussion is "a waste of time."

At any rate, I wish we non-Mac users had something like Dash.

isxek··on How I live and how I work
> When I'm old I'd rather say I'm broke because I lived my life to the fullest

That's probably where people differ - how they understand what "living life to the fullest" means.

To the OP, it means spending less on what he does not need and working on the things he likes. To others, it's travel, meeting other people.

There's no shame spending your money the way you want. Just don't live beyond your means. Know your (financial) limits.

isxek··on Analyze Github commits to know which convention is popular
I can finally see the charts. Whoever made the necessary tweak, thanks!
isxek··on Analyze Github commits to know which convention is popular
Perhaps some kind soul can put up screenshots of whatever should be seen? (At least for Python & Javascript, which is what I'm interested in.)
isxek··on Analyze Github commits to know which convention is popular
The site seems to stop after having one of the language icons selected. There's a "Loading..." graphic, then it disappears, then nothing. Is anyone experiencing the same issue?
