Re: [Wikitech-l] Phabricator Differential lackings

As someone who has worked with Differential outside of Wikimedia projects, I can summarize this back as: The problem of Differential is not the possibilities and functionality, it is a problem of usability (UX). Github, Gitlab and Bitbucket have the UX of using tons of different repo's down,

Re: [Wikitech-l] historical trivia: who first picked UTC as Wikimedia time, when and why?

UseMod had a concept of "server time", and early versions of the main page stated that server time was US Pacific Time. The date on the main page was heroically updated manually by Malcolm Farmer, for example: This

Re: [Wikitech-l] Phabricator Differential lackings

Hi Krinkle, I think you've raised some valid points, however, you've missed a couple of details that are relevant. I'll try to fill in the details so that we can get a better vision of what the workflow looks like with Differential. Rest assured, those of us who advocate for using Differential do

[Wikitech-l] Phabricator Differential lackings

I apologise if some of the below does in fact exist, I'd gladly find out! There are three major parts of my workflow as project maintainer and contributor that I find lacking in Differential right now and are strong reason for me to discourage anyone from migrating to it. In addition, projects

In 2001 when Magnus was writing the initial attempt at a custom wiki engine in PHP backed by MySQL, he chose to use the TIMESTAMP column type. TIMESTAMPs in MySQL 3 were automatically filled out by the server at INSERT time, normalized to UTC, and exposed in the 14-digit MMDDHHMMSS format we
