Have you ever experienced millions of new users starting on your service in the space of a few days? Predicting the future is hard. Calling a team "clowns" because they didn't make the right guesses when they did capacity pla

Microsoft's Windows APIs are, in some sense, an "open platform". They don't accept third party contributions, but they are thoroughly documented and their whole purpose is to support third party developers. Because that&

I've been using DDG primarily for about two years now. It mostly works well enough. Since I use Vimium, when it doesn't, redoing the search on Google is just a few keystrokes: gi<Control-a>!g Enter That's 'gi'

Go read about young male dolphins' sexual habits. And what mother lions in packs do to cubs other than their own. There are more examples than just those two.

You should try, for sure. But you can't make them stop choosing to take the next hit. All you can do is try to persuade them to stop. Sometimes defining boundaries of what you'll tolerate is part of that, as I've described el

Yes, defining a boundary of what you're willing to put up with is vital when someone you love is being self-destructive. That is knowing what you are going to do, and when, and communicating that to your partner. It is not about contro

It's not clear to me how the OP has interacted with his wife in reality, and I don't have interest in judging them. In the abstract, though, I think yes, if you see someone being abused repeatedly and you support and encourage the

I firmly agree the OP should encourage his wife to stop engaging in self-destructive behavior. (I also believe sex work is necessarily self-destructive, as it commodifies, commercializes and depersonalizes the closest, most intimate way of

Sometimes only one side wants the relationship. In that case, they're the ones that have to work on it.

A behavioral pattern can be useful but immoral. Stealing is an obvious one.

Do you have a link to the discussion with @dang? FWIW, I think there's a good chance banning the fundamental attribution error would have no good effects. I think people mostly do it without realizing it's what they're doing.

As a US citizen who used to listen to NPR daily, it may not be state-sanctioned, but it definitely had a propagandistic narrative tying together the reporting. Maybe not quite as strongly so as the NYT, but it was definitely there.

I'd forgotten about this, but years ago I was working in a huge PHP nightmare codebase. So, I hacked together a pre-commit hook that blocked the commit only if the configured style checker registered errors on lines being added by the

FYI, command-line Git is where fixup and autosquash come from: https://blog.sebastian-daschner.com/entries/git-commit-fixup... Magit makes the feature easier to use and more discoverable, though.

Yep, I have this frustration with most Git GUIs too. I've not found that they apply to Magit. That may just be that most Magit users are also heavy CLI users, though.

by NateEag 5y ago
I felt exactly like you do for years before I finally learned Magit - as a competent CLI user, most of the Git GUIs I'd poked at were frustratingly limited and seemed worse than pointless for someone who had gotten a handle on the Git

`git add -p` is nice, but Magit's UI is superior, IMO. I don't know a way to stage individual lines from a given hunk separately in Git's interactive add, but in Magit's that's easy - just select the line you want a

If your wife screws up anything significant, someone dies. For most developers, the worst they can do is bankrupt the company they work for, and even that usually requires multiple compounding screwups and a bad luck roll. I personally thi

I understand that it takes a ton of background and expertise to understand a paper in a specialized field. You do not need a degree to gain that expertise, however. Further, having the degree is not a reliable indicator of expertise, in my
