I recently found a small issue with `uv run`. If you run a script from outside the project folder, it looks for the pyproject.toml on the folder from which you are calling `uv run`…

Definitely. Nim is a great language and coming from Python it might be the easiest compiled language for you to get into.

I am one of the Arraymancer contributors. I believe that what mratsim (Arraymancer’s creator) has done is pretty amazing but I agree that the scope is a quite ambitious. There’s be…

I recently started using nim for some little side projects and I am having so much fun. Somehow they’ve managed to combine the strengths of high level languages such as python with…

The nim team is currently working on removing the garbage collector by means of a new reference counting based “garbage collector mode” called “arc” (for automatic reference counti…

Thank you Joeyaiello for your reply. I understand your reasoning. I like some of your proposals. For example I'm all for making it easier to sign scripts, for example. Yet I feel t…

PowerShell is obviously a much better scripting language than the ancient DOS BAT "language" (if you can call it that). In theory it's also mostly ubiquitous on Windows which means…

It is actually pretty simple. Mercurial automatically assigns a _local_, sequential revision number to every commit in your repository clone. In fact those revision numbers almost …

When you enable mercurial's evolve, history rewriting operations are no longer destructive. Mercurial's evolve creates a sort of repository "meta history" by saving every revision …

You are right. That is a small limitation of the graft command compared to the transplant extension. As far as I know that is the only difference between them. I have never needed …

I don't sure I understand what is the problem with setting up a basic mercurial server. If you have TortoiseHg you just open your repository, click on "Repository / Start Web Serve…

The definitely do. They migrated their repositories to mercurial a while ago. There are plenty of mentions of this fact on mercurial's development mailing list (mercurial-devel@sel…

Mercurial comes with a built-in "hg serve" command that you can use to serve repositories through http. It creates a web server that you can access through any web browser. Unless …

For the record, you don't need to enable the transplant and graphlog extensions anymore. Those are now part of core mercurial: - The transplant extension has become the "graft" cor…

Git currently has a greater mindshare than mercurial, specially on HN and many open source circles. I don't think that is enough to consider that "git has won". There are big proje…

I find that your comment about mercurial's data model a bit ridiculous. The reason why most introductions to mercurial do not mention its data model is because it is _not_ importan…

If I want to contribute to a project I don't expect them to accommodate my workflow. I expect to be asked to comply with their workflow. Let's say that I were the maintainer of a p…

Every project has the right to chose the VCS that they feel is right for them. However I find the reasons they give for the switch are pretty weak except for the last one (github i…

TortoiseHg developer here (i.e. I'm probably biased, take my comments with a grain of salt, yada, yada, yada...). We discussed this a bit on the last mercurial sprint. In jest, som…

This is quite nice but there are a few of things that I miss: 1. A way to have multi-line values for non array types 2. A more flexible number syntax (e.g. allow hex and binary int…

I'm a TortoiseHg (mercurial GUI front-end) developer and an (occasional) mercurial contributor. I think this is really great news, both for git, Microsoft and OSS in general. It is…

My 19 month old lives one little game called "Animal Puzzle for Toddlers". It has got several simple puzzles where you have to place some animals on a drawing where they are missin…

In my opinion branching _used_ to not be as neatly implemented as it is in Git, but that is no longer the case. A couple of versions ago a new feature was added into core mercurial…

It could be argued that it already exists and that its called mercurial. Functionally equivalent to git, but with a _much_ simpler interface and better windows support. Git has a l…

The blogger makes a few good points. I think part of the problem is that he seemed to expect TortoiseHg to hold his hand a little bit more while he was learning to use mercurial. I…
