But you did write (entire family) for Delta and Long March. Your data is confusing and wrong.

A long time ago I made an alias always passes -v to git branch and this is the problem: on large repos it can take a long time to compute the "ahead X, behind Y" information. It can be fixed by aliasing to some git branch --format

Can you make `$ git branch` fast? Because it takes 5-10 seconds for me on linux.

I don't see the problem here, algorithms are just helping satisfy the thirst for novels with cocky shirtless males.

Is this trolling?

India and China each have a billion people but the article can't find a politically correct way to distinguish between them. Or a more serious explanation is that there is little data here because surveys lump "asians" togeth

No, that doesn't work because people can get promoted. It's also worth noting that the Intel CEO joined the company in 1982 , apparently straight out of college.

It's also common for employees at the same level to give performance reviews to each other. This is better dealt with by having a higher-level manager adjust for relationships.

That claim that "vendor-paid developers do almost all work" also fits the Linux kernel. The kernel is very large and has many contributors but work done by random volunteers is dwarfed by that done by large companies. This is visi
