OK thanks, that sounds fairly convenient for small patches. And I expect you'd say download the email for larger patches (as a sibling commenter suggests).

I might be wrong but it sounds like you don't know about the GitHub PR feature where you select the lines, and GitHub allows you to edit them, and posts a diff when you're done, and if the author accepts it out becomes a jointly

No, it is not a misconception. How do I apply a patch from gmail to a specific git repo on my computer? (I would genuinely like to know the answer, but it must not involve mutt, gnus, or dovecot!)

When using changeset-based review, do you find yourself writing things like "This changeset still has the problem I drew attention to in my review of the previous changeset. Please see the comment there." ? I'm just curious h

Yes, I can see it could be useful for a company making MacOS software. But for a company whose developers use MacOS but whose product has nothing specifically to do with MacOS, my instinct is that if local environment reproducibility concer

I use MacOS and am very positive about it. I have lots of reasons to run Linux containers. What are some reasons I might want to run a MacOS container?

No, the hardware drivers are very polished and never give any problems. And the hardware itself is beautiful but I suspect wouldn't integrate as well with the OS if it were running Linux.

The VSCode extension is quite good and solves some of the problems mentioned concerning detecting errors without needing to go through the commit-push-run cycle.

I'm sorry if it wasn't clear, but I was asking for sources on GP's claim that climate change has shifted the north-south spatial location of birds' migration destinations. The research you linked to doesn't seem to

Don't try to silence people. If you have nothing substantive to say then say nothing.

Please provide your sources for the effect of climate change on bird migration.

The criticism of hashicorp seems childish. Why shouldn't they restrict the way in which companies make money from their inventions as they see fit? There's a lot of thoughtless entitlement among some of the attitudes being express

by da39a3ee 3y ago
If you were to ask a migratory bird, they'd tell you that it's fairly tough. You have to put on enough subcutaneous fat to double your body weight, and then do it knowing that either you or some of your friends and family will die

It's not about long-lived branches. It's about defining a solvable problem and having the discipline to finish your work on that problem before merging.

TLDR Trunk-based development = putting unfinished work in the team's shared branch. Feature-branches = finishing your work first. Anyone who's ever completed a complex PR knows how much plans change over the course of the work. Ob

I don't think so. Any state progressive enough to adopt law-as-code might also put in place laws limiting the length and complexity of the code. It would be easier to control this aspect as code I believe.

by da39a3ee 3y ago
I don't know if what you say about laws is correct, but it's certainly not a correct description of contracts. The general public is constantly confronted with utterly unreasonable legal documents: far too long, far too unclear, f

I just expect it to be my list.sum() or sum(mylist) and to trust that the implementation under the hood is reasonable.

The way that gp said "tactical" indicates that their interest is in winning personal battles rather than promoting interesting community discussion.

Yes. In Scala people seem to say it's the idiomatic way to sum a list of numbers which never felt right to me. It just seems to much code to look at for that.

On a side note, it would be nice if the community of software engineers would give Tao some in-browser LaTeX rendering worthy of his mathematical content.

by da39a3ee 3y ago
Tangential, but it bothers me that in Go that I can't multiply a Duration by an int/float, but instead have to convert to Duration and multiply two Durations together! Does this upset anyone else?

I disagree that vendoring / forking a 3rd party library is a good idea.

I’ve been using PlantNet over iNaturalist. One reason is that PlantNet gives confidence scores for identification. In general PN seems very good for European plants.
