It also took me a while to realize that things don't run on a merit system. My theory is this: If you're smart enough to think that merit should matter, it's easy to fall into the trap of meritocracy. If you look around and

What those people really need is to have their opinions challenged by outsiders. That used to happen more on the early internet. Keep in mind that they didn't leave Reddit because they wanted to leave. They left and made Voat because

This is more correct than how I think about it :) > You can very much capture an audible signal with a single sample, but that signal will be limited (by hardware, by Nyquist, etc). This makes no sense to me, but it's obviously true

Oh, I see what you're asking now. This might get a bit mathy, so I won't be offended if I get something wrong and someone corrects me :) I think where you're lost is that the FFT sample size determines the number (and theref

Well you've got me interested. I never looked at it before, but this seems like it's pretty much multiplayer gaming mapped to exercise?

N2O is culturally related to psychedelics for good reason, as it can produce/amplify those effects, so that makes sense. The eye pressure one is a different effect though. What I'm talking about are geometric effects like gears o

This is right. You probably can skip learning jquery these days and just work on React. Other than that, exactly right.

Good point. I think people don't realize just how much git is capable of doing. Pretty much any strategy can be made to work with git, and it's super extensible if you need it to be. I generally follow your strategy myself as lo

It can definitely be made workable, but why do so much in pursuit of a slightly neater git log? I place a much higher value on the hashes of my commits not changing than having extra merge commits.

If you have a long running branch, you're going to have conflicts. When you resolve those conflicts during a rebase, you lose your history of the conflict resolution. What you're thinking of as a "simple linear history"

You should want those merges so that you can later bisect where a problem was introduced. If you start/end each day with a merge and leave the merge commits in, and you notice something goes wrong later, it's much easier to trac

For Americans, getting rich should be the top priority. There's not much of a safety net if you fall ill and can't work. You have to use your healthy/productive years to build up wealth so you won't be homeless later.

Yeah, that's one approach. Another might be to commit some kind of `./legal/sign-off-v1.0.0` so you can see who did it, and so travis can know if it should deploy the build or not
