Public Access Git Repositories
via (SV*)null - interpretating the void as Sam by samv on March 25, 2008
It seems that a lot of sites have cropped up that offer free Git hosting;First there was repo by Petr Baudis of cogito fame. A service running from Prague, based on a few simple CGIs, themselves published.Then I think gitorious came along, and also GitHub - both Ruby implementations and some adding servicesI have a hunch that people are writing these things as they cotton on to the benefits of...

Yoni Rabkin Katzenell: Emacs devel
via Planet Emacsen by yrk on March 24, 2008
transient-mark-mode: on by default? is being hotly debated once again on emacs-devel in an epic display of an argument to determine the colour of a bike-shed. My take? If GNU/Emacs was usable and enjoyable for me out-of-the-box, then my dot-emacs file wouldn't be a thousand lines long (not to mention my dot-gnus, dot-erc etc.). So I don't care if I have to add (setq-default...

Atomic context and kernel API design
via LWN.net by corbet on March 24, 2008
An API should refrain from making promises that it cannot keep. A recentepisode involving the kernel's in_atomic() macro demonstrates howthings can go wrong when a function does not really do what it appears todo. It is also a good excuse to look at an under-documented (butfundamental) aspect of kernel code design. Click below (subscribers only)for the full story.

Brian Jones: A GMail option I’d like to see: “Delayed Skip Inbox”
via Planet Python by (author unknown) on March 16, 2008
I use GMail extensively. In my main gmail account, I can send mail using a variety of accounts that I’ve authenticated to allow sending from. So, for example, mail from jonesy at pythonmagazine dot com is actually sent from a gmail interface, even though PyMag doesn’t officially use Google Mail for their domain (not that this would be a bad idea. Hrrmmmm…). I also administer a domain using...

Nemo – a new way of managing files
via Free Your Media by pwlw on March 10, 2008
Codename Nemo is a new way of managing files, or rather, not managing files. Currently, it’s a cross between a calendar and a file browser with labels.The application requires GTK+ version 2.10.x. Other dependencies include: mono, tracker or beagle.Nemo introduces a new user interface that makes handling files easier and faster. A nice side-effect of this approach is that it reduces the time...

using newfangled version control systems from emacs
via Planet GNOME by Andy Wingo on March 10, 2008
So I'm a big fan of these new distributed version control systems. For most of my personal projects I use bzr, which works fine and doesn't tax the brain too much. At work (awesome web site) we use git, which I have grown quite fond of.These systems, while distinct, do share obvious similarities. They're all distributed and more or less fast, they all eschew changelogs, they all do...
