I think you and the author are right, but addressing different audiences. I think most people come to git with their own mental model of what a branch is, what a merge is, etc. Learning git is often mostly undoing their preconceptions (ie b

I disagree. We shouldn't have to know how a branch or commit is stored. Whether git interally makes a new ref, copies everything to a new directory, or does some hashing magic doesn't matter to the user. I agree that we end up n

Well I would prefer to have both. I don't think we need to choose. However, I think tests are high-maintenance. Often they consume the same amount of time to write as the actual business code. I don't know how automatic null check

Unit tests might be exhaustive in 'lines of code covered' but never in 'possible inputs'. That is, did you remember to check for null? Did you remember to write a test for floating points in languages that just have gene

It isn't, and it's unfortunate. It plays into--rather than healing--racial tension.

If you think at all that a Black american celebrity would be cancelled for saying to stay away from White people, I think would be celebrated, or atoeast tolerated. The racial tension Adams exposes are terrible, and the wrong direction for

Qualified immunity only protects individuals (that is, people who are acting as official roles). It has no bearing on suing organizations or departments, such as this lawsuit, AFAIK

'confused' is not the right word. I think the author might mean something like 'skeptical'. I was listening to Thomases questions, and I think I agree. He is basically saying that any choice constitutes an opinion. He br

Sure. I can support needs-based tests. My point is that we shouldn't use the food stamp threshold as signifier of poverty. This is a common tactic that left-wingers use to prove that wages are insufficient, and that companies are explo

My understanding is that food stamps is federally funded, but administered by the state. I often seen foodstamp eligibility used a marker of poverty, but this is largely an anachronism from the past where foodstamps were reserved for the de

You can make one. But i think you'll find most of us are not interested, though.

I think a better phrasing is 'we are not the ones responsible for enforcing them'.

I don't think an answer will satisy you because anything can be bigotry. Or more aplty: the problem is we have a deep divide in what constitutes bigotry. A significant portion of Americans oppose gay marriage, and a roughly equal porti

There will be no consequences for google. We all know this happens. A past suit by a recruiter had emails filed as evidence to the court where recruiters were told to cancel all interviews with candidates who were not women or Black. [1] An

VR has a nasea problem. I never expected that I would get nauseous--that's something other people feel, but I am an avid game player. No way will it affect me. I was so wrong. One of my first experiences in VR was pushing myself to pla

When I witnessed the recent layoff, I was surprised they even gave anyone a warning. Some people were able to send a goodbye email. I would have thought access would just be abruptly cut. I hate not trusting employees, because i know 99% ar

Tldr but I am not sure I really understand the purpose of cucumber still. Years ago I was on a project where the QA manager insisted on cucumber. But it seemed like just a fancy syntax for tests. So instead of writing: clickElement(Selector

Well if it doesn't need to be paid for, we should definitely increase the payment. Why stop at $1500? Let's make it $3000. Or $30,000.

Of course 'not making sense' is a bit subjective. The primary reason is that it's roughly 2.5x the cost. And given that social security is allready the largest expenditure and it's going to be unaffordable in it's c

Less than one. If you think you made some grand point, consider that this can be determined in like 10 seconds of internet searching. And in fact you're just further proving my point that supporters have absolutely no idea about actual

It's not hard to prove that UBI doesn't make sense. Just take the adult population, multiply by $15,000 per year and get a number that's 3 trillion or so (depending on who exactly is eligible and how much they receive). It&#x

The answer to expensive food is to eat cheaper food. You can easily eat on $2 per day. Those of us who grew up in poor countries know this. Even in rich countries, it was not long ago (like, in living memory) that meat was a specialty only

It seems to be implied that it's not technology workers (as in devs, dbas, pms) that are over hired, but instead the left-leaning riff raff. This is absurdly false in the general case. For one, Amazon doesn't even have much conten
