It’s not tangential. Technologists seem to be equally drawn to any arbitrary dictionary word, which is why these problems come up again and again. I thought the same thing until I remembered that there’s this concatenative something that is

Gmail has this annoying preference which you can set: set email to read if viewed for x seconds. Mine was set to 3 seconds. Which is I guess why I sometimes would get a reply on a thread and I had to refresh multiple times to get rid of the

The closest I’ve come to APL is the default `.XCompose`, which has a lot of mappings to APL codepoints.

Yeah. I don’t understand why we keep submitting ourselves to this way of working.

I haven’t looked hard into this issue but that’s the more likely explanation in these kinds of situations. So you have a terrible kind-of dictator and you have a seemingly charismatic opposition. In a country stereo-typically ruled or co-ru

Reminder that the enemy of your (evil) enemy is not necessarily a good person. I have seen nothing to suggest that he was a force for good.

I can’t express how unreasonable it is to demand real identities in internet discussions. You can chit-chat with your mouth among a group of people and be mostly fine. You don’t have to weigh every word. At worst what you say will be spread

Reads like a “The Birth & Death of JavaScript” ripoff with a random transgender jab thrown in for some kind of measure.

Stodgy C++ opinions (standards!) dressed up with a veneer of irreverence by using adjectives like “retarded”. Bonus points for using Tiobe but like being so ironic about it, dude, which makes it cool.

For whatever reason this makes me think of having multiple worktrees in the same directory tree :) like .git (normal), git-1, git-2… so you have X HEADs. But that is probably way off anyway because of https://news.ycombinator.com

The listed cons of “changelists”: 1. Not part of Git at all—not committed 2. Can’t be shared because, duh, not part of Git That sounds like a fail to me. The whole point of using Git commits is that once committed, it’s just there. And thin

It’s hard to get sold on a Git workflow tool that proposes a new (or not supported by git(1)) way of working outside of a long-form article. I see a lot of little paragraphs here and there on the website, like “faq” answers about specific t

Commuting 1 1/2 hours a day in rush hour traffic because you live in suburbia in order to work in the city center where the “good jobs” are, the great lifestyle dream.

I don’t understand the impasse. Do rich people have power or not? Are we complaining about them affording and using private jets and at the same time not believing that they have a large hand in shaping and ruling society as well? Well I’m

by avgcorrection 3y ago
Rich people cause climate change by architecting society (just look around). Their private jets don’t matter in the grand scheme of things.

I use `cat $(which ...)`. Makes sense to have a dedicated script for it. Cheers

I believe you. :) That’s I guess what most of us do; quickly look at a single file. Not really concatenating multiple files. So the feature makes perfect pragmatic sense.

That’s the same as bat:[1] one of the features is syntax highlighting. Kind of unexpected to find a concatenation program… which also does that. [1] https://github.com/sharkdp/bat

This could be pretty useful for writing shorter commit messages (even up to a subject + paragraph). Like a more powerful `cat`.

There’s a delete statement. I hope the where-clause is mandatory? :)
