  1. @confirmordeny People confuse political with party political a lot
  2. @j4 My experience too!
  3. @1tgr Really sorry to hear that, best wishes to both of you
  4. @pozorvlak @kowey Feel free to drop by #darcs (the IRC channel, not the hashtag...) if you want to chat more.
  5. @pozorvlak @kowey not editing patches to squash their effects together, no. Hard to explain by twitter though :-)
  6. @kowey @pozorvlak Also not appropriate to coalesce in that way when commuting (it won't give the same results)
  7. @pozorvlak @kowey yes, it'll be O(mn) but it ought to be possible to optimise for cases where changes are in different files
  8. @robinhouston Someone in the darcs world had the idea of conflict-free text merging: mail-archive.com/darcs-users@da…
  9. @tim_g_robinson @kurt2001 I got the impression it was worse (no stack trace/debug mode to catch it etc). But I can't find any evidence now.
  10. @kurt2001 @tim_g_robinson @mausch AIUI Reflection.Emit needs extreme care because if you get it wrong it brings the process down.
  11. @voyce github.com/ms4720/s3sync is what I use
  12. @voyce I don't think it'd be very efficient even with the local cache, as it says it downloads first.
  13. @eddedmondson whatdotheyknow.com/request/transf…
  14. @eddedmondson it should give you a transfer ticket to get on a following bus
  15. @alistair_sloan if they took it to the High Court within a few days once or twice, I'm sure the rest would get the message pretty fast...
  16. @alistair_sloan I wish they would just take out contempt proceedings when this happens
  17. @alistair_sloan What authority?
  18. @karen2205 It's analysed fairly comprehensively at ukhumanrightsblog.com/2012/04/19/abu…
