Oh, an actual "modern engineering marvel". What a novelty, what a discovery!

Your point is quite good. I like it!

Oh, now HN is discussing a meaningless copy-pasted self promotion blog post. I guess this says something about the current state of the HN community.

This “ironic” and “humorous” style of errors and UI captions is the actual new corporate speak. I’d prefer dumb error messages rather than some shit someone over the ocean thinks is smart and humorous. And it’s not funny at all when it’s a global outage impacting my business and my $$$.

The new command is named “sudo” because customer feedback and because MUSCLE MEMORY:

I hear you! We thought about some of the options you’re calling out here. A lot of customers voiced having the muscle memory of doing similar flows on various operating systems was more important to them and that’s where we landed. I totally understand your perspective and I do really appreciate the feedback. I’m always trying to learn from people like you so I can help to build things that will make your life better.

My first thought was that this article is about Obsidian Entertainment (videogame development company).

Or in serverless mode without any server at all. Just open the repository via file://.

No, this isn’t true. You can deploy your SVN server with ‘svnserve’ in just a few minutes.

> A github server is much easier to set up than a subversion server.

Oh here we go again. You are wrong my friend. Firing up a basic SVN server is a matter of minutes. You just need to run several simple commands.

Besides running Windows 11 VM, I use UTM to run Windows 98 on ARM-based MacBook. Great for playing old games on modern Mac devices.

This has happened only in BG3 with GFN for me. All other titles run perfectly or OK-ish.

It appears that there is some problem with BG3 on GFN. The game’s launcher constantly complains about “corrupt data files” and cloud saves take some time to sync from and to Steam.

I think it’s fun to use names or captions of UI elements as a display name / username. Look at mine.

> recommended for beginners

This is fabulous. They even draw a "learning path" from beginner to expert (sorry, who?). It looks almost natural for inexperienced users.

This whole "home antivirus" business reminds me of SoftRAM. It's just a few steps away from being a scam.

So? You've just described exactly the what's achievable with Subversion. The only missing part is adding remote repositories.

> You don't have to set up a database for Git, either, and it works entirely locally.

What database? Subversion doesn't need any special database to work. Just the repository and its working copy. Both can be local and can be created with two commands.

Subversion's CLI is actually sane and much easier compared to the abomination provided by Git. Additionally, Subversion can be used entirely locally, without the need to deploy and configure any server application.

It seems that you are comparing apples to oranges. Building your own SVN server from the ground up can indeed require some effort. Doing the same for Git demands more or less the same level of effort on your part. So, I believe you are comparing building an SVN server from the ground up to something like installing Gitea or GitLab, or using Git locally.

Again, you don’t have to install an SVN server. Just run `svnadmin create REPONAME` and use the `svn` client to import your data into the repository.

How’s your experience with Subversion? What kind of content do store in SVN, BTW?

I don't understand how Rider is superior to VSCode. I tried Rider a while ago and switched back to VSCode because it gave me the impression that I was acting as a beta tester. There were, or still are, silly bugs that forced me to reinstall it completely several times. You just can't have such bugs in your software product if its codebase is covered with tests and if there is a dedicated team of software testers. Additionally, it costs $149 for the first year. However, I should note that I'm not a power user, so perhaps Rider's built-in Resharper is actually a must-have feature for someone.
