Sigh. Started out seeming like an interesting discussion of psychology-of-note-taking, ended up as an advert for yet-another-task-tracker. How disappointing.

Ah, got it, thanks! That explains why I was confused - I've never worked in a team where long-running branches were the norm.

Given that I never get ham voice calls, it is reasonable for me to assume that any voice mails that I receive are therefore spam (but, no, you're right, I don't recall ever noticing a spam voice mail. But then I wouldn't noti

Can you elaborate on some use-cases? I'm finding it hard to imagine a situation where `git worktree add <path> <commit>; do_operation_in_path <path>; git worktree remove <path` is any different than `git checkout &

The concept of people leaving audio messages _with a reasonable expectation that someone will listen to them_ is (thankfully) dying out, at least among my social circles. You can leave a message if you want, I'm not going to listen to

What is the distinction between a data format and a data/configuration language? (It's clearly not a programming language, but that wasn't the claim)

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the cover version is by the Muppets, the most famous of which is called Kermit.

Earnest question - what is the length at which a not-blog-post becomes a blog post, and what's the name for the shorter-thing? EDIT: I feel you, I'm also irritated at the drive to SEO - just not sure what naming you would apply to

Yes, absolutely. This ("how can you transfer assets between platforms/context without interoperable protocols?", and the corollary "if the content is simple enough to have interoperable protocols, it's probably some

One Finance has a 1% savings account, and a 3% high-yield account that you need to jump through some hoops to fund (you can't put money into it directly, you can only skim 10% of any paycheque that you pay into your overall account)

Very timely - I heard about this a few days ago (after having some concerns about using Google Analytics on my blog), and plan to implement it in the next couple of days.

Exactly this. As I said in another comment that was alluding to sprint points - "nerds get no respect" is a much less true or insightful statement than "workers get no respect under capitalism, and many nerds are workers&quot

No, I'm sorry, I seriously don't understand how that applies in this case. How is "trusting the content you get from `apt-get`/`dpkg`/`pacman`" safer than curling-to-bash? In both cases, you are downloading and

Software Development is also a specific purpose. One that has a much broader range of requirements than (e.g.) a microwave, but still. It is entirely possible that Macbooks fulfill those requirements while lacking some other properties requ

If you're savvy enough to know why that's potentially dangerous, you're savvy enough to pipe to an intermediate executable file to inspect the code.

Ah, another reminder of my ex-coworker who wrote a script that: * operated on production data (rather than beta/pre-prod data, or failing if stage is not specified) by default * did not recognize `--help/-h` as flags, but would si
