How exactly am I not putting myself on Junio's shoes? If I were him I would do what's best for the project, not what's best for my ego. If I were wrong about a patch, I would simply admit I was wrong, and apply the patch. Tha

If you don't care about authoritarianism in the Git project, then why did you read a blog post titled "authoritarianism in the Git project"?

It's a good practice to a) split commits into logically atomic changes, and b) revert a change the moment it's understood that it introduces a regression. GNOME developers don't follow these good practices. This is a fact.

The problem is solved for me.

Every time I have an issue on Xfce, it's always due to GNOME, and always due to bad coding practices. In this post I dig deep into my last issue, how I fixed it, and why it's still not solved upstream after three years.

So many things, but if I were to pick one, I would add a `git stage` command to work with the staging area (wrongly called "the index"). git stage add (git add), git stage delete (git rm --cached), git stage diff (git diff --cache

No, Linus Torvalds did not realize that, he thought he was going to get cancelled, so he _claimed_ he was going to change. After the stormed passed he went back to being Linus.

I have successfully contributed *thousands* of patches to many large projects. I don't need help. And as is very typical you are concentrating on the wrong thing. I am not important. The bugs that ruby users are experiencing *today* ar

That's a red herring. If you want to discuss that incident feel free to comment on that post. This is different.

Thank you for the translation, I've updated the blog post with them. I don't see any new actual information though. For example in chunk 2 what I gathered from Google Translate was: > What I call a date includes time. It's

You can argue that attaching a time zone to a `%s` doesn't make sense, but a lot of people do it, and more importantly: it doesn't hurt. If you do `Time.strptime('0 +0100', '%s %z').to_i` you get the correct re

Just because people say it doesn't mean it's true. And the reason why I made the post is that there's an actual important issue with rubygems, but I'm not allowed to comment. Users are being negatively affected for no re

The comments are open. Any translator willing to help would be more than welcome.

Yes, it's the same time in different timezones. "0 +0000" is "00:00 +0000", "0 +0100" is "01:00 +0100": same time.

Yes, every culture has their idiosyncrasies, which is precisely the reason why mentioned them. If every culture is different, then different cultures... are *different*. Being aware of the differences helps understand where the potential fr

Pointing out idiosyncrasies about a language is not racism. I didn't even complained about the verbosity, merely pointed it out. Moreover, if I didn't like the language why do you think I learned it?

Back in 2012 I encountered a bug that took me through many hoops to get fixed, all because of a single developer, which compelled me to start an infamous email thread.

This illustration begins with an example Linus Torvalds presented in order to explain his idea of good taste in code, and then digs much deeper.

Not many demanded a CoC. In fact then the CoC was proposed it as merely as a "just in case" proposal that others agreed was not needed at that particular point in time because the community was "relatively calm". And I d

The fact that you are good at writing or reviewing code doesn't mean you are a good judge or moderator.

Yes, but if you have ten bugs you don't have time to analyze correctly you don't attempt to fix all ten poorly. You pick the most important one and analyze it at depth. What you want is to pick the most egregious alleged violation

I don't think somebody dragged to court for ten accusations of crimes can be considered a "professional victim". I did not choose to make this a thing, it was a thing even before I was notified of the verdict. Personally I do

Everyone already agrees "staging area" is the best term. That's the whole point of the post.

Isn't this a bit of a false dichotomy? It can be *both* that git users should do a better job at trying to learn git, and that git developers should try to make the interface more user friendly. Personally I prefer to focus on what dev
