There is third, pytype (by google), which I found pretty good but it rarely gets mentioned. However, like the others it is slow, so I hope this one is fast and supports all the pyt…

Looking at the nice demo, I think just defaulting to asking for confirmation if there is ambiguity, instead of dazzling the user with `mergiraf solve` magic would help; there is al…

Ah, more complex than I thought: "venvstacks allows you to package Python applications and all their dependencies into a portable, deterministic format, without needing to include …

And with just 3 layers: Runtime, Framework, Application. But at least you are not switching tools, and it presumably would prevent you from installing LARGE_v1.1, and then installi…

That's just a `git pull --rebase` away (or set pull to never merge but rebase), and all the non-merged commits are rebased onto the new upstream, and while doing the rebase the alr…

> Developers just aren't very good at doing this. GitHub provided a way to contribute, but also to avoid learning to rebase, thus making it more welcoming to devs who only know abo…

Attention Set Makes me wonder what other git or dev-in-general blindspots I have.

And just visually, GitHub wastes so much vertical space, so even trying to place what belong to which patchset becomes hard.

There is one thing I miss on Gerrit when you push a stack of commits: A central place to talk about the whole of the stack, not just individual commits. This "big picture", but sti…

That's exactly what Gerrit can do. When you push an x-b-c-d-e chain, these show up stacked in the UI, but you can easily cherry-pick b onto main (see that the CI passes, and the us…

Right, for Graphite $20/dev/month is nothing (I wonder if Enterprise is less or more more than that...), considering an ounce of review (prevention) is worth a pound of bugfixes (c…

From my interaction with the free part of GitHub, "diff soup" describes it very well. Does the paid version do anything better? What about GitLab, can this get near Gerrit? And the…

There is also the rarely mentioned pytype from Google, written in Python. And pyright from Microsoft is written in Typescript, pyre at Facebook in OCaml. Last time I checked, these…

That only seems to work on btrfs, XFS, (and maybe now or very soon) ZFS and bcachefs: "[duperemove] simply finds candidates for dedupe and submits them to the Linux kernel FIDEDUPE…

Good to hear, Gerrit does a lot of things right, see "stacked diffs" (or the realization that GitHub lacks these) now becoming more popular. And the patchset model is one important…

How do you envision pushing/reviewing a branch of 3 cleanly separated commits (say: write failing test, fix code, refactor) into a repo with a fast-forward/no-merge policy? The end…

I discovered CRIU in this video below (1h) "Container Migration and CRIU Details with Adrian Reber (Red Hat)", it has a live demo and the details about how much "user space" it rea…

"Numerous others" which also support MFA, have some (Web)-UI and are also open source? I only know of DefGuard[1], which aspires to do a lot more. 1: https://github.com/DefGuard/de…

Whoa, the line "Every save is uploaded, automatically [by default]" needs to qualify the non-default options. Can a company policy demand that? I hope there is a protocol-level, cl…

Firefox View slowly getting more features, nice. I hope one day it supports the very real use case of using/abusing browser tabs as bookmarks. I know I am not the only one who keep…

I was wondering why this material is so bad, it seems to be because it is mostly silica crystals. Without the resin holding it in place such a material wouldn't be possible. 90–93%…

If I may ask, is this mirrorfs available somewhere? The demofs from nfsserve seems to create and server a pure in-memory fs tree if I read the sources correctly.
