It’s not the mechanism of branching that I prefer.
It’s the fact that Mercurial tags the commit with the name of the branch that it was committed to which makes it much easier to determine whether a commit is included in your current branch or not.
Also, Mercurial has a powerful revision search feature built in which I love (https://www.mercurial-scm.org/doc/hg.1.html#revisions).
It’s definitely up with Git in my opinion. I much prefer the branching in Mercurial.
It’s certainly very offensive to lump it in the same band as SVN and TFVC.
The only reason that we stopped using Mercurial is that Microsoft used Git in Azure DevOps. I still wish that they’d supported Mercurial instead of or as well as Git.
I really liked Mercurial too. It was much easier to follow branches to find out if a branch included a commit.
And worse than all of those options is Visual Sourcesafe.
Remember last time when Trump had meetings that resulted in a plan to end hostilities between Hamas and Isreal but it didn’t include any Palestinian representation at all.
She initially thought the email was fake, but after realising it was from Ticketmaster she said she does not intend to buy tickets from the company in the future, despite being a loyal customer.
Loyal customer pretty much means the same as regular concert goer.
I go to quite a few concerts and all of my tickets are bought from Ticketmaster in some form. I wouldn’t call myself loyal to them as I’m forced to choose between Ticketmaster or no concert.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov condemned the idea as a commercial transaction rather than genuine support
Breaking News: “Russian diplomat caught telling the truth!”
Another one that shouldn’t be allowed but is are the unlimited* plans where the * indicates that it’s not really unlimited.
As tariffs hurt the importing country, not the exporting country I think that it’s odd that Canada would punish their own citizens in retaliation.
They should have added a 25% export tax on energy seeing as Trump clearly didn’t want to pay more for his imported energy.
I don’t think that it’s only a leadership thing.
I think that there’d be enough voters who would be too proud to lose the pound that any referendum to rejoin would lose even if opinion polls showed that most people thought that it was a mistake (I don’t actually know what opinion poles say about this topic).
They’ll be stopping it for the same reason most Pizza Huts in the US stopped doing it - profit.
We have unlimited salad included as part of the price of the meal in the UK. I’ve never gone back for seconds because I’m there for pizza.
When I was a student, they had a one bowl rule and students did try to cram in as much as they could by building towers like in the article (but nowhere near as impressive).
It’s like if you put a restriction on it then people will try to bend the rules to get more but if it’s unlimited then there’s no challenge.
Or it could be that students wanted to eat as much as possible for their money.
I would also happily accept both to go back into the EU personally.
Going back to the EU with our tail between our legs isn’t going to go down well with anyone so won’t be happening anytime soon.
We’d not be able to reject the Schengen area or Euro so I’d imagine that most remain voters wouldn’t even agree to it.
new trade deals haven’t offset EU losses.
I’m shocked that a single state wasn’t able to negotiate better deals than that same state plus 27 others.
While other countries lag behind, Norway’s success demonstrates the potential for widespread EV adoption.
Decades of incentives, including tax breaks and infrastructure investments, have driven this shift.
Basically, if your government really wants it and doesn’t give in to lobbying then they can do it.
It’s many years of concerted effort with successive administrations keeping up the commitment.
Our 2024 figure for % of new cars being electric was 19.6% in the UK so I’d be very surprised if we hit the 2030 target of 80% new cars sold being zero emission.
The random policies is the thing for me.
Talking (and sometimes going through with it) about pulling out of random international agreements and organisations like the Paris climate agreement and WHO. Then talking about invading other countries (including allies) and imposing tariffs on everything and everyone.
Also, both times that he got in, it seems like he had the previous administration’s achievements as his todo list for things to undo.
It’s like dealing with a whole new country every four or eight years.
They can still argue that situation is better now but it depends upon a very specific meaning of “better” that doesn’t consider the Palestinian people’s welfare at all.
They want to delete the account that they presumably set up just to try Apple TV+
I think that it’s probably to imply that it’s an allegation, not established fact that they were killed by the IDF.
