> which is exactly why siri still sucks It probably does what most people need it to do, so it sucks? That's some interesting logic to say the least.

I use Siri for about four or five things: - setting a timer; - sending a text; - starting a call; - adding an item to a shopping list; - playing/controlling music (very occasionally); Siri does all of these with 95% accuracy. Occasiona

My experience with coding by chat bot is about the same as my experiences welding by ear and driving by touch. I'm sure there's people out there doing it but I don't feel like it's a particularly good use of my time.

Oh good. Thank fuck that one of the dozens if not hundreds of terminal emulators isn't going to be a "rug pull". It's a completely fucked situation when it happens to fairly unique/obscure software like say Terrafo

Yeah being new to a tool it's expected that you'll have a learning curve. But some stuff is just ridiculous. Ok you use the mercurial model and have bookmarks not branches... oh wait you also didn't create a default bookmark

Honestly this article seems like a really good ad for not trying/using jj. I cannot believe how ironically confusing it sounds to use, given that they claim it is "designed from the ground up to be easy to use".

So what's your point? If you don't think there's anything wrong with it, why would you care if someone else says "hey change this". Do the same thing you'd do if someone says "hey you should use mongodb it

Nobody is telling you what not to name your branches. The people that wrote the software you're using for free, decided to change the default name. That's it. Nobody has said you can't use whatever name you want.

Are the two sentences meant to be related somehow? I fail to see how choosing to pay for a Spicy Autocomplete service relates to using open source software?

by stephenr 11mo ago
That would make perfect sense if all branches had to be made from the default branch. But they don't. At `$CLIENT` we use `stable` as the default branch. Use whatever works for you. Getting upset about a default that you can change is

Thanks for pointing this out. It's always been a weird topic - science (appears to, due to the aforementioned misconception) say one thing, and yet I have eyes and see a difference that the science says I shouldn't see.

Can confirm. I use a Dell 6K 32", and it's frankly amazing. I still use an older Dell 4K 24" (rotated 90º) off to one side for email/slack/music but I just use the single 32" for ~90% of what I do.

Conversely if you only use a ~110 DPI display you won't know how bad it looks on a ~220 DPI display. The solution here is wide device testing, not artificially limiting individual developers to the lowest common denominator of shitty d

Top effort dispelling the claim that you make poor decisions mate. Someone references when you made an ass-backwards decision, and insisted you were correct; your immediate response is not any kind of explanation about how you learnt to tru

Making a mistake is generally considered "acceptable" if you learn from it and acknowledge the mistake. The author did neither - he was steadfast that his approach was correct, and everyone else was wrong.
262.
by stephenr 1y ago
The concern isn't that the same code exists, or even that it has odd unintended behaviour. The concern is that the author failed to understand why his batshit-crazy intended behaviour was a bad design from the start.

I wonder about the same thing. I've come to the conclusion that it's driven a lot by Management-Ideal definition of devops: developers who end up doing OPs without sufficient knowledge or experience to do it well.
