in the end the author states "So, for now: git notes are relegated to obscurity. Forever hamstrung by an obscure and clunky interface and limited adoption—I often forget they’re there.", so after the read, I should forgot about it?

git does need a 'git bug' to track bugs though, as https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug does, but I prefer to have it built in git directly if possible.
Property 2 implies immutable state. I also used to think that was a great idea. Then I tried actually programming that way.
I’d never heard of these before but that was the usecase that immediately sprung to mind. Seems super useful and the mutability probably isn’t an issue if you’re just plugging in a little internal metadata that’s almost temporary anyway.

I have a set of Rudyard Kipling books with swastikas on them. Printed 1927 they obviously predate Naziism and reflect Kipling's association with the symbol.

Not aware of Disney having used it.
That seems no good news at all. Russia's has now a clear strategy of targeting civilian energy infrastructure, and it seems to be successful.

They probably plan to damage the plant beyond repair when they do leave.

The bigger a mess they leave behind, the harder it will be to fix (quickly or even at all). I suppose there are plenty of ways to achieve that, maybe even some that don't spread huge amounts of contamination into NATO countries.
Yes, cold deaths vastly outnumber heat deaths (600k from heat but 4.5m from cold annually worldwide).

And yes, increased warmth decreases cold deaths - about 2x (283k avoided cold deaths vs 116k increased heat deaths per year).

This effect is probably magnified by the fact that more warming occurs in nighttime temperatures, winter temperatures, and polar areas.
I'm always distressed when Americans act like this isn't a problem that Germany's strong anti-hate laws had to solve years ago, successfully.

Which isn't to say that hate speech is solved problem in Germany -- but this ontological handwringing about separating it from regular speech is disingenuous. See https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/germanys-laws-ant... for example.

My understanding (as a non-German citizen who lived there for a year, in the '00s) is that while the line between hate speech and regular speech might be open to debate in Germany, no one debates that there is a line.

In other words, the existence of the distinction is recognized even though it is irredeemably vague. This is important: there is a recognized, valid ontological category for vague distinctions!

To non-American ears, the U.S. debate around free speech sounds a lot like one person shouting 'squares and circles are different and can be treated differently,' and another pointing out that, because squircles exist, the slope is too slippery to acknowledge the reality of squares and circles.

But you know what? You can still make one of these pretty good: https://www.etsy.com/nz/listing/867606078/fisher-price-shape...

This pattern is employed on both sides of the aisle -- my fellow leftists do it to, particularly around issues of gender. (And I say that as a trans woman.)

The only thing worse than a pink-is-for-girls transphobe coming at me and telling me that gender isn't real is a nonbinary polyamorous anarchist telling me that gender isn't real, and those are basically my options in 2022.

The next protest I attend, I'm bringing a sign saying 'clastic, ad-hoc, and vague ontological distinctions are still real distinctions' but this is why I'm not really invited to protests
> Mostly this came down to some limitations on what trait objects can and can’t do, but it has mostly ceased to be a problem now that I understand those limitations better.

Care to recount what some of those misunderstandings were? I’m casually interested in Rust but only really observe from afar, since most of my day job is Swift. Don’t get me wrong, Swift has some odd limitations around protocols (closest equivalent to traits) that may be similar, but I’m curious to see what some common pitfalls may be with Rust traits.
Aww man. Was hoping we could rebuild Strong Bad's old computer.
Would you elaborate on the setup? I recall seeing a comment or article where Mitchell mentioned this setup previously. I’ve been using Make + Docker for development on macOS for a long time now and perhaps it’s time for a change. I’ve looked at nix once or twice over the years but it never really clicked.
Good point, I reworded it to be more general. Can't recall seeing our DB being that clever.
Whilst the message is quite blunt this subreddit does a good job of highlighting just how much of our world's urban planning and infrastructure is built around cars:

Until I stumbled across this it had not occurred to me how much people (and walking) are placed second to cars and infrastructure. Surely this needs to change going forward.

Thanks. I've tried a phone with support for both L1 and L5 (and other systems) and I don't notice any improvements over my old phone. In fact it seems to take longer to get a fix. I would love to hear if anyone has found a phone that actually gets significantly better performance with L5.

my current way to do this is to have build as numbered references of their original commit, and then one on top that contains the build protocol.

and thinking: part of the matter from code review outcomes, also some automated check systems have limits, so mutability may be less an issue as first anticipated. git notes might be lightweight enough to not introduce too much bureaucracy.

>And even the worst McDonalds burger contains a variety of lettuce / onions / ketchup that covers few nutrients that beef is missing (ex: Ketchup has Vitamin A, Potatoes / Fries has Vitamin C).

The amount of lettuce, tomatoes and onions is so minimal I doubt it contributes to your vitamin intake in any useful manner. If you eat a salad you get 50x that amount of those vitamins.
They gained power through democratic means, the emergency powers that made Hitler a dictator were in the constitution. They only ran out in 1939.

Yes there are instances where it wasn't above board but by and large Hitler gained his power democratically and/or within the constitution.

So I would say Hitler and Germany is a lesson in how not to set up a democracy. It basically enabled his rise to power.

I'm neither Jewish nor Asian, but I do always have a large tin of this delicious Chinese vegetarian barbecue sauce in the fridge with a prominent 卍 on it.[1] It's a fantastic marinade, among other things.

Anyways, it resembles a Nazi swastika enough for the uninitiated to look twice when opening the fridge. It causes me some cringe when I think about it but my Chinese friends and family assure me it's common, has nothing to do with hateful values, and long predates the Nazi use, and ... shrug?

What I wonder about is all of the technologies that go into ICBM's with nuclear weapons. My layman's guess is that there is active support and collaboration of the NK nuclear program from outside. North Korea is a headache for the US and other western powers, one more thing to consume policy bandwidth and military preparedness. This would seem to be in the interests of China and Russia, and perhaps others. I don't worry too much about the threats that periodically emanate from North Korean; if they start to exceed their utility from the perspective of China and Russia, the needed resources to maintain a viable nuclear program can be quickly shut off. I do hope that I will live to see a "1989" moment in which the North Korean regime is overthrown, and relegated to a horrible and sad footnote in human history.
Well, they're painted. And you'd think that would still mean rust where they were scratched, cut, etc. But OP's magnets stuck to a drip edge, which I wouldn't think would be made out of plain steel either. I'm assuming my gutters aren't ferromagnetic, but I could be pleasantly surprised!
I suspect it depends strongly on what you will do with the extra time. I started consulting, which would have been impossible at just one day per week, but it is totally legitimate to use it for non-revenue pursuits and going “one step at a time“ (going 80 -> 60 would likely be much easier) could make sense in that case.

Another consideration is whether you would lose benefits under a certain threshold. I almost guarantee that HR will not know off the top of their heads, so before spinning your wheels, on fuzzy lifestyle questions you should start the process of getting official documentation on how things like healthcare and vacation days will be handled, it might make the decision a no-brainer.
Which is surely by design. People who are just about able to keep their heads above water and in fear of a huge medical bill (or any bill for that matter) will literally work like their lives depend on it...because it does.
Well, that's what Java's "volatile" actually enforces.

C's "volatile" isn't enough, but more recent C compilers have atomics and memory models.

The memory-model problem wasn't solved until the 00s (that late!!!) when multicore CPUs became more commonplace. Java, C++11, and other language / language updates after that point quickly adopted memory models. And the rest is history.

So yeah, use atomics + memory barriers.

It seems like these notes aren't supported by the GUI tools (Sourcetree, Fork, etc) nor by web tools like Bitbucket, and even most commandline people don't know about them... that's quite interesting, you could use them for ASCII art, jokes, and basically silliness. And perhaps in the far future, somebody finds those notes.

A lot of American incentives are purely aligned to generating revenue or power through lobbying. I would be hard pressed to imagine that cycling or pedestrian unions have any kind of pull compared to large automakers. I absolutely love cycling through a city that has the infrastructure for it, and opt to walk to anything less than a mile away. I have been hit twice while riding a motorcycle, the first time was nearly fatal. I also drive a truck. So I guess I am the embodiment of all the good and bad of the system :( Definitely cognizant that I drive a danger machine though.
None of what you described sounds resilient or healthy.

Yes, we’re allowed to feel emotions, but no, they’re not the responsibility of strangers, acquaintances, or coworkers.

If you’re semi-regularly crying, curling up, or shaking in a non-familial environment, you need to seek professional help, not burden those around you with what is clearly a serious personal mental imbalance.
I guess the key question is whether or not you can produce 80% of as much in 80% of the time. For me the answer is maybe.

I do more than twice as much in 40 hours as I could in 20. I do far more than 40x in 40 hours as I could in 1 hour since there’s some overhead in task shifting. But four days a week is probably okay.
You sure seem to be absolute in that belief ;)

I have a late 1920s or early 1930s "Better Homes and Gardens" type magazine, that has a single panel humor cartoon in it of the "you always want us to keep up with the Joneses" variety.

The Native American teepee in the cartoon is depicted with a swastika on it; apparently it was a symbol of good luck with some tribes?

You are right, a lot of people who think everyone around them are horrible narcissists are actually likely to be narcissistic themselves. They project their inability to hold other viewpoints or be vulnerable on others.

To anyone who has had prolonged contact with this style of personality, then you’re also well aware that the first thing they’ll do is say someone else is the problem. Think about Trump’s repeated bald-faced accusations that his opponents are doing what he is accused of.

If you can’t see things from someone else’s perspective, then it seems to you like other people can’t see things from your perspective. If you are completely absorbed with worrying about yourself, then people who aren’t constantly worrying about you seem self-centered (i.e., centered on “not you”!)

A good way to tell the difference is to see how much detail a person goes into when describing a conflict with another. If they describe the conflict from both sides and in detail, then things are probably ok. If they describe conflict in very vague terms and vilify their opponent, then run for the hills.

Not completely sure but seems like a problem that could be solved using pre-rebase hook.
Right, that makes sense. And my explanation is more complex than I could detail in my comment.

I know I have too many diverse interests—fields of endeavor to quote you—and the older I get the more of them I accumulate. On the one hand having many interests is very useful because it allows me to see and understand common ideas or threads across quite disparate and diverse subjects that otherwise would not have been obvious but the matter of administration becomes a significant problem. Often I've little time to deal with prosaic matters so the mundane is often left to itself (disorder accumulates).

That said, I'm instinctively an orderly and tidy person, as I like to say 'there's a place for everything and everything in its place'. I hate mess and disorder but that doesn't mean that I don't experience it—I do so often for reasons that you mention. However, when entropy/disorder around me reaches a certain 'sensibility' threshold I'm triggered to have an almighty cleanup much to the chagrin of others around who have a more relaxed view of disorder.

Nevertheless, I'm not obsessive about it, sometimes I amaze myself at the level of disorder I'll tolerate. (Reordering things is boring and distracts me from my interests despite the fact that I'm competent and thorough about it. Essentially, the more preoccupied I am with something the higher my toleration for mess and disorder becomes).

3-4 times around the (male) fitting with PTFE tape, then a light amount of pipe dope on top of the PTFE tape.

That doesn't sound like a good idea at all. The whole idea behind PTFE (aka Teflon) is that it reduces friction because nothing, including pipe dope, sticks to it. What value does the pipe dope add to a properly-wrapped fitting?
WW2 was the deadliest conflict in human history, and involved both the Holocaust and the first - and so far only - military use of nuclear weapons. To say nothing of the fact that it completely reshaped the international order and led directly to the Cold War.

Even if you zoom out and view it, like Eric Hobsbawm, as belonging to a century of warring ideologies much like the wars of religion, it will remain one of the foremost events in world history for a long time. It would take many thousands of years for it to become a 'footnote', assuming the species even lasts that long.

> If the only way to get my contributions accepted into a project involves writing a paper about it, sure, I can do that. If it involves writing a paper about it, and then having endless meetings about it that could have been emails, some of which I have to physically travel to, I can't be bothered. I've left actual paying jobs over that, I'm not doing it for free.

If most people wrote papers that were so perfect in their construction that no one would ever need to ask questions about their content, as every relevant question would be answered by reading the paper, then there wouldn't need to be a need to shepherd it through meetings. But in my limited experience, most papers aren't like that. In the numerics study group, we had one paper at the most recent meeting that was so vague, we eventually decided we had no idea what the paper was actually proposing, so answering the question "would we like to move forward with this idea" was impossible. And with the author not being present... well, that's more or less the end of the road for that idea.
