Sometimes it's easier to undo & redo. That's the reset approach. (Reset, your mistake goes away, do it over again but right, then commit.) Sometimes it's easier to just make another change. That's the amend approach.

But that's my point. I'm not saying that other things don't need version control at all but that many don't need the specialized, heavyweight version control features provided by Git. For many things that need version co

Yes! Git is not merely version control but a specialized sort of version control. I've run into the opposite problem, when I've tried to use Git for projects that weren't source code. Without thinking about it, just by refl

And most people do boot have the skill to do a full character model at the age of 6. The poster said he was 6 in 2001. It's no longer 2001, and he's no longer 6. I told him he couldn't have done it back then but it might be

Is it too late to become what she would have wanted? I don't mean to be glib, but you were a young kid then and (presumably) you're not anymore. Could you recreate her in your mind and allow her to influence you to become the pers

Well, maybe you have insider knowledge about how much he actually disagrees with those on the left at Google--or maybe you don't. But either way, those who are fully in the alt-left camp at Google seem to consider themselves completely

TL;DR: As far as I can tell, the news here is that Facebook is doing for React Native (& Yoga) what they recently did for React itself. In other words, in the past choosing React for crucial infrastructure put you in position where even

On Mac VLC 2.2.8 (I don't have 3.0), go to Preferences, then Interface tab, then in the middle of the list you'll see "Continue playback" with a dropdown menu. That'll fix it.

Almost every consumer router is set up that way. We'll be getting security warnings from our own routers for a while.

If the use of "alleging" and "claiming" is proper for one side of the argument, and I allege and claim that it is, it is proper for the counterargument, especially when both are presented in the same paragraph as a contr

I'd rather have trailing commas, so every line can have the same format. Other people choose JSON for their config file format, and I don't have a say in it. I just have to do extra editing each time I reorder the lines or add a n

I agree with everything you said, so I'm just adding some thoughts. I'm trying to do historical research at my own expense and, like many others, will continue to do so as long as I can get access to raw data. Google will provide

I agree, and I'll explicitly add "history" as a part of "science" in the research sense you meant. I'm having a heck of a time trying to access historical records of medieval England from here in Silicon Valley

And if you're part of the 99% of us who AREN'T working at a university but still funding their research with taxes, we have to pay both the taxes AND the direct fees to access the papers.

Even if you often use Google search, you should switch the default to DDG and make the Google search command explicit so that Google isn't always "listening" to everything you type into the URL text field. Otherwise, even whe

Yes, I think that would be just fine as long as the modules encapsulated the "native" functionality of the editor. As long as developers could easily orchestrate and build on top of existing editor (& built-in git, terminal, e

I'd love to have an editor scripting language in VS Code that would be a lighter-weight way to create an editing macro than building an extension. Despite the annoying scripting languages, both vim and emacs get a lot of their power an

If that was their reasoning, they could do it whenever they were ready and willing after five years. So this explains why they had to do it for five years and might explain why they won't be doing it much longer than that. It might

Are there any languages you know of that are somewhat close to what you describe?

I can think of one: the fraction of design decisions that the language's creator, standardizers, and serious developers wish they could change but can't.

You say you would still have timezones, and timezones are approximately the area (all points) of the globe where it is approximately the same time, say all points where it is closer to 8am than to 7am or 9am when the centerline is 8am. With

The next step I'd like to see is for them to prohibit asking where you went to college. You still need to show credentials, but if you went to an accredited 4-year institution and got a BS in, say, chemistry, you would say you had an

My own rebuttal to that unimpressive Maciej argument is that he merely listed many ways in which something that seemed as though it ought to work didn't work out at all as expected, so we can safely assume that something as challenging
