If you don't know how many commits it will be before you start, no, it is not a TODO list. I've never worked with such perfect knowledge. Usually, there's a high level understanding of what it takes to deliver a feature, wh

You could, but does that really solve any real problem? Now you're wasting more time on CI, commit messages, and trying to keep them atomic instead of delivering the feature. It's not even clear what makes up an atomic commit.

I think that's because it's not socially acceptable to say that you just need money. You need to say that you want a job, or you sound like a lazy loser and a freeloader. Social media is full of extreme vitriol against unemploye

What is the point of checking in a horrendously incomplete feature that nobody else is going to work on, that probably cannot be tested by anyone until it's actually mostly done? I'm working on such a thing, and I will check in ~1

There are not that many people capable of a secure design & implementation. But that is just the tip of the iceberg; any network promising anonymity requires a large number of nodes (and high traffic), and that number must stay signifi

That's why nobody uses expr for arithmetic. But yes, it is annoying that -e breaks some habits that work fine without it.

So now instead of privileged daemon forking MDAs to deliver everyone their mail, we have a database holding everyone's mail and everyone's connecting to that database, presumably through some daemon that can now access everyone&#x

Yes, just write it into a database or something, and rewrite the entire ecosystem to play nice with this new MTA that doesn't compose with existing tools. Wave hands until the problem solves itself somehow?

Oh, I actually saw that message. I thought it just meant all messages from new users would be flagged as spam until verified.

How long do I have to wait for my cat post to show up in the demo, after confirming both my email and my post? EDIT: I think my first comment simply vanished, the second one went through instantly :(

Not just inputs, unfortunately. TOCTOUs (and races in general), for instance, are very common problem in shell scripts.

If driving it to the ground is cost effective, then doing the same to one that is 5, 10 or 15 years at time of purchase should be just as cost effective, if not more so, thanks to price depreciation.

There's always a bit of luck factor involved, including with "relatively new cars." I know people who got pissed off with their expensive repairs on their relatively new car and switched to an old beater. The good part about

The average age of all the registered cars in Finland is 12 years currently. Think about that. It's not uncommon at all to run into 20+ yo cars in the neighborhood.
