cygwin sed substitution against commands in history

I couldn't find an answer for this exact problem, so I'll ask it. I'm working in Cygwin and want to reference previous commands using !n notation, e.g., if command 5 was which ls, then !5 runs the same command. The problem is when trying to do substitution, so running: !5:s/which \([a-z]\)/\1/ should just run ls, or whatever the arg...

When did the idea of macros (user-defined code transformation) appear?

I have read McCarthy's 1960 paper on LISP and found no reference to anything that's similar to user-defined macros or normal order evaluation. I was wondering when marcos first appeared in programming language history (and also in Lisp history): When was the idea of user-defined code transformation (before interpretation or compilation...

How to prepend the past to a git repository?

I received some source code and decided to use git for it since my co-worker used the mkdir $VERSION etc. approach. While the past of the code currently seems unimportant, I'd still like to put it under git control as well to better understand the development process. So: What is a convenient way to put those past versions into my alrea...

How to undelete a file previously deleted in git's history?

Using Chris's answer on another question I could prepend a snapshot-history to my git repository. Since one of the files is not part of my history but only in the snapshots, the first original commit now also contains the deletion of this file. How can I undo that? At first I thought this was the opposite of How do I remove sensitive fi...

Can tags be automatically moved after a git filter-branch and rebase?

Are Mainframes & MiniComputers still in use?

I've been looking into the history of computing. I'm just wondering if Mainframes & Minicomputers are still in use? I mean now a days PC's are very many times faster than mainframes in 90s. Even http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_platform doesn't say anything about mainframes. They also use PCs as their servers. I've no idea about Clou...

How can a patchfile created with `git-log -p <filename>` be applied to create all the commits included?

Background: this question. git apply <patchfile> just recreates the file but without committing the history, which in this case would be desireable. Is there any switch for git-apply to do so? Or is there a way to convert the patchfile into a git-am compatible file? (Currently, git-am complains "Patch format detection failed") ...

How to concatenate two git histories?

I have two git repositories that are tangentially related. Namely, content of one was a predecessor of the other. I would like to somehow prepend the full history of depository A to the depository B, so that tip of A would be a parent of the very first changeset of depository B? Histories in both are pretty linear. Is this possible? ...

Can TortoiseSVN provide a cross-repository view of user activity?

Is there a way I can see my commit history for a given time period across multiple repositories using TortoiseSVN? It would be nice to be able to see this, and it's a little cumbersome to get my complete commit history if I'm working in multiple repositories. ...

How do you get the branch spec that was used for a specific integrate in the depot history?

P4V's depot view shows the various branches and their paths, but not the branch names. The branch spec (or branch mapping) contains the "name" of the branch. Let's assume that user X has branched code from branch A to branch B using a branch mapping M some time in the past. Is there a way to ask perforce which branch mapping was use...

LP64, LLP64 and the IL32 transition

During the transition from 16 to 32 bit in the 80s, int was either 16 or 32 bit. Using the current 64 bit transition nomenclature, I understand there was a pretty even spread of ILP32 and LP32 machines. At the time I believe it was understood that int would always follow the register or pointer width for any given architecture and that l...

Language history: origin of variable 'it' in read-eval-print loop?

Some interactive systems, including Standard ML of New Jersey and GHC, offer an interactive toplevel loop where you can type expressions and see results. A nice little convenience is that the result of the most recent expression is bound to the variable it. Here's an example from GHCi: Prelude> 3 + 5 8 Prelude> it 8 Prelude> 2 * it 16...

How and why were linkers first developed as tools separate from compilers?

Basically, I'm just curious about the history. When was the first linker written? What was the rationale at the time? E.g. was multi-language development an issue? What platform did it target? What languages and compilers were supported? What interesting stages did they evolve through? ...
