It did have a kind of equivalent to stashes in the mq extension, but its interface was a bit esoteric compared to the rest of Hg, from what I remember.

I dunno, I agree. It sounds conspiratorial. But who knows, maybe even 17 year old accounts are being hijacked by AI now too.

In the puzzle game series The Talos Principle, intelligent robots (who were made to outlive humanity after a species-ending global pandemic) seem to have the exact same kind of affinity for caring for cats that humans do. It's actually

I'm not negative on it exactly, but the idea of not being revived doesn't really bug me. If that had happened, then it's whatever, I guess? But I agree with your sentiment about using the time we're given. I don't p

As someone who once came extremely close to death and was unconscious for days after eventually receiving medical care, my take on death is that it's probably similar to what you're saying about going under for surgery. I'm s

The latter is basically how it goes with Counter-Strike 2 which doesn't have kernel level anti-cheat. Well, maybe not "everyone" is cheating, but there's very little punishment to cheating in that game for those who do.

I can't say I've experienced psychosis due to stimulant use personally, but I see what you mean. For me it's maybe brought on instances of hypomania a few times, but I get how it could trigger issues in others, especially in

I used to on and off in the past, but I found it made me more prone to mania, so I've since stopped. Why do you ask?

I can't speak for the above person, but what the OP of this comment thread said also tracks with my own experience of schizoaffective disorder: when I'm psychotic, the pattern matching part of my brain goes into overdrive and not

The continual lack of police action wasn’t super surprising, but as someone who lives in SF, it does bum me out. The supposed inability to enter based on reasonable suspicion or make arrests in certain situations also baffled me. I definite

I've had both experiences: anesthesia, nothingness, waking up; and anesthesia, dreams, waking up. Usually it's the former though.

Sam Ruby puts relevant icons in each post on his blog. I find it a nice break from text, and it serves as a convenient summary of the topic of the post.

I started off with MacPorts' Emacs 22.3 package and just used it on the command line. Eventually I moved to a portfile that tracked Emacs CVS, and finally settled on Aquamacs. I've tried Cocoa Emacs from CVS, but it has one major problem th

Terminal.app isn't so bad once you install TerminalColours and MouseTerm (disclaimer: I wrote MouseTerm). xterm can be difficult to configure, it doesn't do tabs, and copying and pasting follow X11 rules in it. I prefer native applications

Up should work. If you want it to persist across sessions you'll have to enable readline history. You might find my pythonrc useful: http://bitbucket.org/brodie/dotfiles/src/tip/.pythonrc.py - be sure to run export PYTHONSTARTUP=~/.python

The PyPy folks are working on a JIT, apparently with great speedups. They've been detailing their work on their blog: http://morepypy.blogspot.com/ Also, are JavaScript and Python really that dissimilar? Everyone's working on tracing JITs

As an adjective it means relevant . As a preposition (apropos of) it means concerning or related to . In this case you're asking about things related to the search terms. It mirrors the Unix command that performs searches on man pages

Python 2.6 and 3.0 ship with a new library called multiprocessing which provides mechanisms for process control and intercommunication, which conveniently sidesteps the GIL limitation that prevents multiple core usage. The library is loosel

Python 3.0 includes a script that tries to automatically convert 2.6 code to 3.0 code, named 2to3. It's also incorporated into the package setup library, so in theory simply installing a Python 2.6 package with 3.0 will automatically conver

I think you might be confused as to what Python's lambdas are for. The name is very misleading - it really should be called a function expression. It's just a shortcut for declaring a function with an expression. It's useful for situations
