  • I understand what you’re saying, but his experiment allowed the embryos to come to term and be born as human babies. Scientists have worked with human embryos before and avoided similar outcry by not allowing them to develop further (scientific outcry, not religious). Calling his work an experiment on human embryos ignores the fact that he always intended for his work to impact the real lives of real humans who would be born.





  • Perforce

    We manage branches by taking an existing path on the perforce server, duplicating its contents, and then copying them to a differently named directory while registering that new path serverside.

    So on paper, I can tell my local client to map my files to that new remote path, and then trigger a sync. In my experience, the sync treats my branch jumping as pulling completely new files. It touches everything in my work directory. As far as our makefiles are concerned, this means everything has to rebuild.



  • Actually, C++. An enormous codebase plus we build all dependencies from source. I asked my dev lead why we don’t have access to pre-compiled dependencies and he answered with a mix of embarrassment and “that’s just how it’s done”.

    A 4h build would be OK if I only needed to do it once. However, our source control system lacks even a basic conception of branches, so each new ticket requires destroying and regenerating your workspace.
