"You don't actually want these changes to end up in the main branch before they are done." True - and it sounds like a textbook scenario for introducing a feature branch... this approach has worked well for me. The idea of

Sounds like the good, old "X considered harmful" template, where the headline is clickbaity, but the content actually boils down to "X considered harmful ...if done badly" (doh).

"I find post-coding, pre-merge code reviews ineffective, for a change. The code was already written. Time/money spent." This implies the need for smaller pull requests maybe? If work is broken into smaller chunks, addressin

"Approving a pull request without even testing the code it’s very dangerous" Well; code review is not QA. My approval means - I'm OK with how the code layer is knitted. It doesn't mean I've tested the changes. Of

I don't understand this one: "An incompetent astrologer cast a man's horoscope and said: "You are unable to father children." When the man objected that he had seven kids, the astrologer replied: "Look after t

I appreciate the concept, but IMHO when software is only available for Mac, this should be highlighted in the title.

"As I get older, the less I identify as my current state and the more I identify with the person who transitions through states." This sounds neat, but once you set the states aside - what's left? :) Who's that person?

To be frank, I find it a bit overengineered. Besides, it's been a while since I did any C# programming, but does it really "enforce" the structure, or only encourage it? I mean, what's to stop people from going eg.

The rates in Poland have really risen as of recent (so has the inflation, but that's a different story). There's a lot of offers in the 120-150 PLN/h (26-33 EUR or 31-38 USD) range; not long ago I had three offers from the to

Out of playing tournaments, sure, but that's not the only source of income they have. Not even the main one. Tutoring is likely among the best options.

It's a different title, however. It is Woman Grandmaster. It is not at all easier for a woman to obtain the regular Grandmaster title. A subtle difference perhaps, but nevertheless a difference.

The choice of color scheme in the "Chess Grandmasters Per Country" pie chart doesn't strike me as particularly well thought through, especially in terms of accessbility.

Some works of Stanisław Lem should fall into that category - such as my favourite "His Master's Voice".

Becoming truly detectable - on a cosmic scale - might require a higher technological level than our current one. Attaining that technological level could be inherently linked with the ability to realize the dangers to begin with.

I (for one) can't conceive it, but I also cannot really conceive what's happening in a black hole, or at the quantum level. And the weirdness of those phenomenons is nothing in comparison to a "brand new" different reali

At the end of the day it's akin to the "true randomness" problem. How do you prove a random numbers generator isn't truly, or fully random? Or that chess moves are "truly human", and not computed by an engine.

> If you compare it with other games, playing against an engine is a huge disadvantage but will not fundamentally change the structure of the game. You are still playing chess, but against a superhuman opponent It wastes your time. Pla

There was this character of an aspiring, wanna-be writer in "Plague" (by A. Camus), named Joseph Grand, who obsesses over the first sentence of his novel. He'd keep on rewriting it infinitely, never getting beyond it. "P

I like British accent for its aesthetics, but from pragmatic point of view it's not even a contest (from the perspective of a non-native speaker), I agree. It's not just the r's (in fact, some British accents are rhotic - a

It is generally hard to reason about public support in an authoritarian state, because such states largely control the access to information. So yes, people do hold opinions, but how do they go about forming these opinions? How many are in

As far as I remember, Dick's writing was of mixed quality and it wasn't just linearly improving with experience. There were ups and downs. He wrote really a lot, often repeated concepts, and his weaker stuff was often a result of

It's not a fallacy, unless you take it out of context. The context was as follows: the grand-grandparent comment pointed out that this change achieves nothing. The grandparent comment didn't challenge it, but asked rhetorically wh

I don't know if the grandparent commenter is correct, but they quite clearly meant Belarussian flights over EU airspace, not the other way round (EU flights over Belarus, which is what you seem to be referring to).
