I noticed it recently too, but disconnecting my Bluetooth headset first allowed it to suspend properly (it seems like the wifi chip kept it awake before making like a yo-yo back and forth).

I use it with parenthesized clarification. So `# XXX(dependency-version): Reason why we can't have nice things` is code that can be updated when `dependency` of at least `version` can be assumed. The clarification is there so that if t

Agreed. Gmail is a rampant lagfest whenever I end up using it (I only go to update filters and labels anymore). The HTML site is a lot more responsive and usable IME (though the filter form's length limits need edited in a debugger to

[ FD: CMake developer, but this is just my personal opinion. ] I find Bazel, Buck, and other similar tools from other FAANG-like companies to mostly target monorepos because they expect to control everything from the toolchain up. Depende

The other problem is that during a Git conflict resolution, other files matching that glob get dropped into your source tree. Globbing these up is…never going to go well.

It's a tool just like the forge is. I think of these things more as building blocks to put your desired workflow together. I doubt forges will ever handle reformatting, merging, or back porting how we want, so we'll always use som

We call ours the "stage". Merge conflicts are just a "please wait" signal. The way it works is: - the stage is always up-to-date with the target branch (so if it updates, we re-merge all topics on top of the new targ

This is solved on our end by having the merge not done by gitlab itself (FWIW, github is bad at making these things too) but instead by our robot. I'm a process wonk, but these checkbox items are still the bane of everyone. It'd b

> We never use merge except fast forward merges. Hmm. I've never really liked this pattern. We never use fast-forward merges for anything other than bringing a release branch forward to track the "current release" state[1]

Huh? I use `podman build` all the time. Sure, it uses `buildah` in the backend, but does that really matter?

Yes, realizing that not everything is perfect (good or evil) is a good base that needs to be done first. Trump made lots of blunders and such, but the morass that is our government is also what insulated it from his attempts to destroy it.

I think the ineffectiveness comes from the lack of gravitas such problems have on the public psyche. We now feel that it is "over", so we relax instead of buckling down and asking ourselves "how can we make the next time this

I don't know if I could classify it as "incredibly valuable in almost all contexts". I have no idea what it's like to have such imagery for comparison. I dream, but cannot remember them beyond tiny details. I've had

I have aphantasia. For reference, until 2019 or so I thought things like mental imagery and mind palaces were just metaphors and my memory for such things was poor (even after seeing Sherlock put his mind palace to screen). As you can tell

How they live inside of a structure is far into implementation-defined land. No ABI (afaik) says where bits live if they do not fill an octet. In practice, the compilers agree with themselves over time, but that is "code as spec"

The API is good enough to write some Python code that does this way faster. Some autoclassification based on keywords helps a lot too. I made some scripts to do this, but would have to extract them from beside the user data in the repo.

Oof. For finding my bearcan, adding conspicuity tape (the red/white reflector tape used on tractor trailers) makes them stand out like a beacon with a headlamp (which, so far as I know, bears have not learned to make use of). It also h

I do this for all of the CI images I maintain. Additionally, it leaves evidence of the setup in the container itself. Usually I have a couple of these scripts (installing distro-provided deps, building each group of other deps, etc.).

Sure, but when applying Marketing Math™, remember that all prices need to end in "49" or "99" to "sound cheaper" than the next incremental bump. So you'll end up with a device that is either $50 or (more l

(FD: CMake developer) In my experience, it's that pkg-config assumes that everything needed to consume a library can be communicated via flags spelled as GCC spells them. There are many compilers which don't speak GCC on the comma

If you're measuring in (1-n) terms, you can be 2x better. 95% is 2x as good as 90% and 99.9% is 100x better. Not at all clear at first glance or sure that it's what they're doing here, but just something to keep in mind.

It's not only the syntax that is broken. The "type system" has quite a few holes in it because of the language. Many of them have no counterpart in other languages either. It would, for example, most likely still be strin
