It's a neat feature, but I'd be worried about it getting stuck and being unable to retract. Later model years removed the ability to retract the screen on demand, due to backup-cam…

Anything that depends on Safedisc is also screwed because Microsoft pulled the driver for security reasons. This includes a lot of first-party stuff like Mechwarrior 4 and Freelanc…

Personally as a beginner it's nice to have GDScript built-in. You can literally install Godot as a single executable and everything is self contained which vastly simplifies gettin…

The data stores are pluggable. Postgres (with PostGIS) is one option.

The VW CEO recently said that physical buttons would be coming back sometime this year, so you may be able to get that Golf after all. :-) https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/te…

The space wasn't necessary previously, and pasting code DID work, and then an update silently broke it and it's been like that ever since. Now you're supposed to use the formatting…

Teiid can also be deployed as a standalone server (see the Wildfly route). There is a JDBC driver to connect to it, and they emulate the Postgres wire protocol so you can even use …

I think what you want is this: https://github.com/boundlessgeo/prj2epsg GeoTools (Java GIS library) has several versions of the EPSG database available as JARs and you can use the …

It's possible with all of the languages. Perhaps static analysis is just difficult with Python?

Git does support custom merge "drivers" on a per file basis. For example: https://gist.github.com/seanh/378623

Or just write down the latest commit (or use git reflog to find it post facto) and if you mess up, do "git reset --hard " to get back to it.

It wouldn't have to be a new DVCS. It could be a Rust implementation of Git. e.g. Java Git implementation (JGit) used by Eclipse, Gerrit, etc.

It's unfortunate that people are down-voting instead of responding to you. I'm far from an expert but it would be interesting to see what other people think here... Basic auth is i…

Managers find a way. They will just use (or invent) another tool that lets them do it how they want. Now you have two tools, and some poor schmuck (or the developers) will get stuc…

Gitg ( https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gitg/ ) looks decent, although it's Linux-only. It's like git-gui and gitk merged into a GTK3 interface. It would be cool if Atlassian would open…

One way to get this would be to develop a Teiid translator (plugin) for Rethink. https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-3303 http://teiid.jboss.org/ The normal use case is to use th…

I'm also curious about this. It seems like the ASL drivers are a bit of a loophole. What happens if later Rethink decides to relicense their drivers as AGPL with a commercial optio…

You could use Teiid ( https://github.com/teiid/teiid ). The SQL dialect is similar to Postgres, and it has built-in translators to handle all of the popular relational databases (P…

From the spec: "The syntax of path data is concise in order to allow for minimal file size and efficient downloads, since many SVG files will be dominated by their path data. " htt…

> Solved much more elegantly by the likes of daemontools and derivatives (s6, runit, etc.), many years before systemd. Then why is no one using them? > Hardly "new". Dependency sys…

You clearly haven't used Unity; it's basically a clone of the OS X 10.6 interface (before they changed spaces) built on top of GTK3. It's got a useful set of standard key bindings …

Have you considered just using the open source driver?

Maybe proprietary isn't the right word. I don't like that the only way to do pre-commit code review is using a CLI tool that only works with Phabricator. Contrast this with the GH-…

Shopping around for these kinds of tools recently. Phabricator looks great, but the point you mentioned is a show stopper for me. I would love to see Phabricator have GH-style code…

I remember it being the case in 2007/2008. This is the closest thing I could find to a citation. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/4439/Getting-started-wit... "To create a new pr…
