You should assume that developers, especially interns know nothing about any technology until they had a thorough introduction. And you should anticipate any confusion they may have in the process. Once, I had to introduce most of the emplo

Just to add a point here - lazygit (mentioned in the question), gitui etc all allow easy interactive partial staging that you suggest. It's great that these tools gives interactive staging the importance it deserves. I prefer magit bec

I'm someone who has started enjoying rebasing workflow after using branch-merge workflow for more than a decade. So perhaps, my experience may be useful since you can compare the same person using both of them. The first thing to reali

I have similar experience as the person you are answering to. Unlike them, I got into rebasing only recently. It isn't really a hand-wave of saying 'you don't know it well enough'. This paradox is caused by a quirk in gi

Reading the rest of the comments, I was wondering if I missed something. I use awesome-rss firefox extension [1] to discover RSS feeds on firefox. I maintain a list of feeds using elfeed-org and follow them using elfeed on Emacs. It's

Notmuch was inspired by sup, not based on it. The common component for sup, notmuch and mu is xapian.

Perhaps it's worth mentioning XCA [1] at this point. It's a GUI based on openssl that provides an intuitive UI for managing keys, certs (root CA, intermediate CA, server and client) and CSR. It existed before acme and mkcert. What

Why isn't it invalidated by prior art? How does it work anyway?

That is a very poor argument to backup your claim. Not is it just anecdotal, why do you even assume that everyone else has the same experience as you do? Reports and statistics are much more believable. I cited a report. Do you have anythin

It isn't exactly suspicious. I have noticed old news being posted again when it's related/similar to a currently trending news item. Let's just assume that it's an unfortunate coincidence that the people responsible

Either that is lack of awareness or a misrepresentation. Please have a look at this: https://theprint.in/opinion/brahmins-on-india-campuses-study... . There were lots of anecdotes about this going around. But it's

"If Hindus migrate to other regions on earth, Indian caste would become a world problem." - Dr. B R Ambedkar said this in 1916 [1]. The surprising incident in US was predicted more than a century ago. For more context, Dr. B R Amb

It varies from place to place. For example, people are segregated by caste in many places. In other cases, it's easy to identify from surname. But there is one method that you should be aware of - it's more relevant to silicon val

It's more like insecurity through obscurity. Caste discrimination among educated circles is viciously covert. You may not know your caste or your colleague's caste. But the ones who are interested will definitely know it and discr

That is the definition of dedication actively peddled in corporate culture. But of course, the best professionals are the ones who are dedicated to their profession, not to one company - especially one that throws hurdles in the way of thei

I agree about the nose loading part. Meanwhile, how does an engine with its nacelle compare to a marine container in terms of dimensions? Would it be easier or harder to load through the fuselage doors? I also assume that they will need a f

It was the biggest incident of aviation terrorism prior to 9-11. World was very different back then - not a surprise it sounds improbable today.

It isn't experimental or unique even if it's rare. It has been done before. I'm not sure why this instance alone got such attention. Regarding the cargo hold problem, the aircraft wasn't carrying just the engine core. Th

The ill-fated Boeing 747 flight AI182 (Kanishka) was carrying an extra engine just like this, when it was destroyed over Atlantic ocean by a terrorist bomb attack in June 1985. The presence of the extra engine was investigated as a possible

Why do the threads about FairMail contain so much misinformation? It wasn't uploading the contacts to any server. It was fetching favicons from the domains of each contact. That too was opt-in. It feels like there is an effort to discr

Gases escape if their molecular velocity exceeds the escape velocity of the planetary body. That's why smaller and hotter objects lack an atmosphere.

That makes it even more scary. In an aircraft, you usually get a few minutes to determine the problem, disengage autopilot and correct it manually. Autopilot is also disengaged during periods of uncertainty like takeoff or landing (unless i

Theoretically, we could build a plugin that does all automatic setup like COC, but then uses the built-in LSP to do the actual work. nvim-lspconfig already does part of this job - configuring the LSP, as long as the server is already instal

The primary goal of free software is software freedom and an open code base is only a means to achieve that. Open source movement in many ways was an attempt to deemphasize the freedom part. Any attempt today to reemphasize software freedom
