Just curious; what kind of signals would be uni-directionally beaming upwards? For communicating with aircrafts that directly hover above the base? Wouldn't that be really limiting in terms of usefulness?

If I want to read through the doc, I'll just do that, and I frequently do it with all dependencies that I'm directly interacting with. As fun and informative as it is, personally I don't want to do this exercise every time I

My Android did give me a tsunami warning this morning though, but no earthquake warning.

Sounds about right. If so many technical decisions are made by a single individual while reviewing PR, rather than having a proper standard agreed upon before hand, it's no wonder that it grows into a horrible code base.

I don't know the original story, but 300 hundred PR comments on a first PR (or any PR for that matter) is insane, and my guess is that somebody on the team is having an argument back-and-forth in that PR, rather than focusing on whethe

I don't really use a lot of script that wraps git; but so far the two things I do use---lazygit and github cli---don't have problems with this approach. Github CLI can identify the correct corresponding repo on Github, and also ca

I do something similar, but instead of `insteadOf`, I just clone the repo with `gh-work:org/repo`, and in the git config: [includeIf "hasconfig:remote.*.url:gh-work:**/**"] path = ~/.gitconfig.d/g

To be honest, I would expect most small open source projects to just vanish, because of the lack of discoverability. The users won't be able to test them easily, and probably won't be paying for the shipping of a tiny tool that th

The entire open source ecosystem will be gone. Distribution on CD (or USB sticks) would be okay for delivering software, but not viable for frequently exchanging patches among a large group of developers in different parts of the world.

Feeling like shit is stretching it; it's just being thirstier than if I'm cooking myself. I'd say if we do feel like a shit, the local culture probably wouldn't have grown so salty. But health-wise, yeah, it would not be

In the part of China I come from, pretty much all common flavor profiles are predominantly salty. This means that people are having salty stir fries, salty stews, salty soups, etc. Sugar&vinegar exists, but a lot less common than salty

That sounds like a really lively local culture! Hopefully, I'll get to experience something like this in the future.

How do they get the words out to the locals when they move place? Or from a different perspective, how does a local learn which new restaurants are truly exceptional? Do people constantly try new ones that just pop up? I find myself living

It's a welcome change. It still feels like they are trying to be too smart on licensing, especially how to combine GPL and proprietary licensed code, which I think is the root cause of the whole drama. The open core model works better

The problem with that statement is what exactly does "in a way that maintains GPL compatibility" means, especially since they plan on moving more functionalities into the proprietary code, so the two "separate" component

I'm not sure that answers my confusion. Even if I am just proving it to myself, why does the occurrence of a not probable event prove the existence of many worlds?

by powersnail 2y ago
I'm confused as to how this proves anything. Are you suggesting that the only explanation that something with small probability has happened, is that there are many worlds in which this has not happen?

Sadly, the state of CLI and TUI tools is that background colors _will_ be encountered soon or later, if you use a wide range of software. And I struggle quite a bit sometimes to make everything in my terminal legible.

by powersnail 2y ago
A big problem is that, even when you ignore 256 and true color support, and limit yourself to the 16 color palette, there’s no consensus on whether the 16 colors are backgrounds or foregrounds. Some CLI write text in foreground color over c

I’m generally okay with high level concepts talk, and don’t often find it too abstract. We are talking about documentations for libraries or frameworks after all. I’ll take a gentler approach if it’s an actual theoretical firld. Obviously,

People learn things differently. I really need the "core concept" first, before diving into examples, (unless the core concept is extremely simple). Many tutorials are like hand-holding Lego building. Here's your Lego pieces,

But that would not distinguish between chars inside a string literal and chars outside of a string literal.
