I have good news for you:

Mercurial has comparable features (though maybe not obvious to someone accustomed to git) without the usability problems that still plague git nearly two decades later. Hg’s interface was made with humans in mind. Git’s was made to cut you.

(And it has cut so very many people that it’s consistently among the most popular topics in Q&A forums, and has even inspired comics.)

Thankfully, git’s early cross-platform shortcomings were eventually fixed, so that’s at least some progress. I hope its UI and docs eventually get some love, too.

I wish Mercurial had won.

The interface is the best I know of, a lot like pre-Microsoft github. Especially important to me is that It doesn’t intercept my browser’s built-in shortcuts like github now does, or require javascript or bury things under submenus like gitlab does.

The promise of federation is appealing, too.

I plan to use it for new public projects, and might even move my old ones over.

disallow list of known bad email providers.

Imagine giving someone your phone number, and having them say you have to get a different one because they don’t like some of the digits in it.

I have seen this nonsense more times than I care to remember. Please don’t build systems this way.

If you’re trying to do bot detection or the like, use a different approach. Blacklisting email addresses based on domain or any other pattern does a poor job of it and creates an awful user experience.

(And if it prevents people from using spam-fighting tools like forwarding services, then it’s directly user-hostile, and makes the world a worse place.)

Checking MX in your application means you needlessly fail on transient outages, like when a DNS server is rebooting or a net link hiccups. When it happens, the error flag your app puts on the user’s email address is likely to confuse or frustrate them, will definitely waste their time, and may drive them away and/or generate support calls.

Also, MX records are not required. Edit to clarify: So checking MX in your application means you fail 100% of the time on some perfectly valid email domains. Good luck to the users and support staff who have to troubleshoot that, because there’s nothing wrong with the email address or domain; the problem is your application doing something it should not.

Better to just hand the verification message off to your mail server, which knows how to handle these things. You can flag the address if your outgoing mail server refuses to accept it.

By the way, please don’t write regex to try to validate email addresses. Seriously.

Amen.

There are libraries for that; some of them are even good.

Spoiler alert: Few of them are good, and those few are so simple that you might as well not use a library.

The only way to correctly validate an email address is to send a message to it, and verify that it arrived.

The art style reminds me of Scavengers Reign.

I wonder how this trend will affect fuel use. Seems like a win for the environment.

Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution

Section 3: Disqualification from office for insurrection or rebellion

Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Sid Meier’s Pirates! is a wonderful mix of exploration, sea battles, romance, swordplay, trade, and subterfuge.

Tropico 2: Pirate Cove is one that I’ve only played briefly, but I remember it having a fun style that made me want to try it in depth some time.

After decades of license strangleholds by the likes of MPEG LA and Microsoft, it’s refreshing to see open codecs adopted in mainstream hardware and APIs. Hooray for progress!

It’s written correctly. “All but” in the sense used here means almost. “All but certain” means a hair’s breadth from absolute certainty.

(Also, “lose” is the word you were looking for; not “loose”.)

Micron Technology, Texas Instruments, and GlobalFoundries count among other top contenders, WSJ added citing industry executives.

It’s good to see they’re not putting all their eggs in one basket.

These come to mind:

• Elixir to expand the way you think about problems (and maybe your career).
• D to bring familiar conveniences closer to the metal.
• C to understand (and maybe contribute to) a vast ocean of existing software.
• Python for development productivity.

This outcome is welcome progress, but I get the sense that it’s only a drop in the bucket.

Bullying and intimidating people in other countries who openly contradict the CCP’s narrative seems widespread these days. From the news reports of unofficial Chinese “police stations” in North America, to youtube footage of US students speaking in support of an independent Hong Kong while Chinese students aggressively maneuver within inches of their faces while shouting threats, to the story in this post.

I hope this is a sign that we are finally taking action to stop it.

Or by people formerly paying for their internet service with money that should have been going toward food or heat.

Losing the $30 monthly discount could force families to choose between broadband and other necessities,

Exactly.

It’s also important to note that some ISPs created a low-cost service plan specifically for ACP. (It’s reasonable to assume this was possible in part because ACP handled income verification and eliminated the costs of individual billing and credit card payments.) That plan will likely disappear if ACP goes away, leaving poor people stuck paying a bill much higher than the program ever paid.
