"It's easy to make the CLI less bad, but the developers have never bothered to do so themselves" is reinforcement of my complaint, not dismissal of it.

The sane way to do it would be to have something like `git stage` and `git unstage`, as distinct single-purpose commands.

Git's CLI is just awful in a bunch of ways. There's a bunch of commands that do two or more different things depending on how you use them, and whole piles of cryptic and incomprehensible error messages. Heck, the just the contras

This is neat, but the registers on the right are painfully unreadable on my screen, with tiny text and contrasts either too dark or too bright in a way that makes my eyes glaze over them.

"Beats One" sounds like it's halfway an attempt to move into the SiriusXM space - live radio over the 'net and on devices, with actual DJs and so on, packaged in a way that's slicker than most internet radio streams

The Zaha Hadid, Ada Tolla, and Norman Foster seem to have the connecting thread of visibly stained concrete, making them look dirty on top of any other aesthetic flaws.

I got a chance to try one recently (last month), and, unfortunately, I have to echo the sentiment. The best comparison I can make to the taste and texture is something like an extremely dense and gritty version of a very dark rye bread. Des

Doesn't work here either. Scrolling scrolls (or tries to), it doesn't zoom. "Right click to pan" also isn't so functional on a trackpad.

I imagine it wouldn't be too hard to take encrypted text and transform it into something indistinguishable from the already unintelligible spam emails that pass through global networks en masse every day.

The point I'm trying to make is that the rules should, in some way, actively encourage results in line with the game's thematics. For example, Dogs in the Vineyard encourages/threatens players with the risks and rewards of es

That seems silly to me. If the rules are just "do whatever you feel like, I guess, with the GM deciding what works", why even have rules? Compare to, for example, Nobilis, which allows assorted flexible impossibilities but is craf

As an American, I also find that weird. An hour is (as I had to once deal with in a previous job) "long daily commute" for me, not "long distance".
