You can create a private repository on GitHub, clone it locally, add the repo being "forked" from as a separate git remote (I usually call this one "upstream" and my "fork", well, "fork"), fetch and p

There’s no implementation yet, looks like just project boilerplate.

Probably, implicitly. Have automated regular backups, and don’t let your AV automatically update, or even if it does, don’t log into all your computers simultaneously. If you update/login serially, then the first BSOD would maybe preve

It’s funny they mentioned Magic: the Gathering, because the first thing I thought of when reading the headline is all the conversation I see in r/EDH, and less frequently in other related subreddits, about a reluctance or even disdain

This one and https://www.mindprod.com/jgloss/unmain.html should be required reading for all new programmers. Although sadly they can’t really appreciate them until actually subjected to them.

Well, as a BBoM rolls on down through a village, it tends to accumulate various trinkets and detritus from smashed buildings, along with the broken bones and teeth of the people it obliterates, along with their pets and livestock, and any n

Same for 311’s Transistor. I remember accidentally doing it and wondering if I’d somehow distorted the fabric of spacetime. Took me a while to figure it out.

You have to prioritize the issues, you can’t tackle them all at once, and inability to address lower priority issues should not be used as an excuse to avoid addressing higher priority ones. High consumption of sugar is a worse problem than

Probably because they consume the nutrients before our bodies can, so our body says “more of that please!”

That’s great, but it’s still too vague. If the industry is geared towards a specific implementation of these nebulous descriptions, with all of their scrum conferences and scrum master certification courses, then the common implementation b

Anything that’s not a bugfix? That helps cover that infrastructural kind of work that’s not immediately visible to an end-user.

As I’ve read your replies, it sounds like you’re defending Agile, not Scrum. Scrum is more prescriptive. I’ve never worked in a Scrum shop or even heard of one that didn’t have all the features commonly associated with it: burndown charts,

I think this was the same one that also had the trampoline chicken that would bounce higher and higher each time? I’ve looked for those a couple times in recent years but with no luck. Are they lost to time or am I just not looking well eno

I kinda glossed over the list of suggestions on addressing friction until I got to the games and checklists items. I think that’s really the only way to deal with the moving target that is developing software: regular checkins to make sure

This has always been something I use to argue against just reformatting code in isolation. TIL git provides a way to ignore that. Thanks!

I think realistically the limit would not be as low as 55, and also commercial trucks would be a likely target for actual immediate retrofit. I was talking about non-commercial privately owned cars.

You will not eliminate bias as long as humans are involved in the decision making process. So it’s pretty trite to point it out like this. A collection of humans making a collective decision compromising on everyone’s biases is called polit

I think just adding it to new cars would be enough. Eventually all unregulated cars would age out. For the upgrade path, it could be treated like building codes, which change every so often without requiring immediate retrofit of all homes&

I really don’t think you’re referencing appeal to authority correctly here. They’re not saying it’s logically objectively correct that people should go 65mph on a highway, due to the fact that authority has stated it thusly. They’re simpl

I have a jar of Adams 100% Natural crunchy from Costco that I’m looking at right now that says “Ingredients: Peanuts” and “Contains 1% or less of salt”. Do they have multiple kinds of products? This is all I’ve ever bought from them.

This is the first time I’ve ever seen rainbow parentheses, it seems like such a useful thing. What wound up leading you back to B&W?

Would that be this one? https://ciechanow.ski/mechanical-watch/ I’d love to know that those pages are offline-archivable!

I’m kind of stuck in the worst spot between both. Maintenance is a chore, but I still prefer to DIY vs taking it to the shops near me, which are various combinations of rude, unreliable (both in terms of scheduling and quality of work), and

Source on the average American consuming 200% of their RDV of sugar and kcal in the 50s? Because the sources I find fall in the low 2000 range for US per capita kcal consumption in the mid 20th century to the mid 2000s in the 21st century [
