  • The table along with the tableware resembles a face with a hint of dread.

  • How do you view diffs and merges when you say you don't use git GUIs? External tool or terminal/command line?

    Terminal.

    I use Jetbrains IDEs and most of my life has been IDE based git interaction. And I honestly love it, easy access to see my diffs, the most common commit, push and stage(or shelve as Jetbrains does it, which is better than visual studio). Hassle free and available beats writing anything to me.

    Perhaps, it is a mix of learned behaviour and cognitive fixation, as I started out my development journey predominantly using a terminal, that I cannot fathom Git GUI being hassle free.

    Nice to read a different perspective on such a fundamental thing that I take for granted while working. Thank you for sharing it.

  • I always found Git GUIs, especially the ones built into IDEs, to be more confusing and clunkier than working with Git on a terminal. It often feels like unlearning what one knows about Git, and relearning it the way that specific GUI demands.

    Heck, I am going through the aforementioned feeling as I force myself to use Magit on Emacs. It just does not feel intuitive. But I will not give up until I have made an honest and full attempt.

    The only sensible Git GUI I ever used is Sublime Merge[0], after a coworker praised it immensely. Even that is reserved for the rarest of the rare times when the changes in the workspace gets unwieldy and unruly. For every other instance: Git CLI on a terminal.

    E: typo, and link to mentioned GUI.

  • Interesting. I still get the original response.

  • Transparent marketing.

  • Doing the job of developers and managers; AI is truly replacing us all.

  • Add a hyphen, keep shifting it between words, have fun!

  • I only completed the game towards the end of last year or start of this year, and have been itching to play more of it.

    I can only imagine how excruciating the wait has been for those who finished the game back in 2017/2018.

  • No problem. Thank you for adding the link to the story update.

    You could highlight the relevant content of the second link, like you did with the first. Most people are not going to click a second link.

    E: noticed that the title has been updated.

  • The left image evokes Hollow Knight memories.

  • Seems like you have not TIL’d fully.

    Setting aside that it was temporary (though I could agree there is some malice on the committee’s part in this respect), the topics in discussion were already introduced in lower grades and the complex aspects were moved to higher grades.

    But the most important part that never ever got discussed since the story broke, is that the change did got implemented because the committee listened to the feedback and dropped the plan merely a week later. [0]

    The government and education ministry have some glaring flaws, but this is not one of them. They continue to make questionable decisions that deserve attention and criticism; yet these issues rarely receive the focus that this story has generated.

    Please stop with the FUD, even if it is due to your lack of knowledge on the matter.

    E: missed a word.

  • Love it when software behaves in a non-deterministic manner.

  • I am glad that I never had to use it, but I have heard many complaints in my circle. The most common one being that it changes one core UI or workflow every fortnight.

    Imagine the plight of people who just want to get their work done and go home, only for them to see a tool critical to their work has automatically decided to update and now has a reshuffled UI.

    Cannot help but feel that there are too many product managers trying to make their mark on the product.

  • TIL there exists a thingamajig called Chegg.

  • Looking at some of the news and discussion surrounding the game, it is clear that there are significant financial transactions involved.

    The game is also four years old, well beyond the stage of mere interest checks.

    It could be argued that the hack was carried out without a specific goal or knowledge of what data might be gained (as a display of hacking prowess, for instance). However, in this case, it’s clear why this particular game was targeted.

    Whether or not the users “deserved” it is a separate discussion; one where I would agree with you. Many of the people involved may have been too trusting or gullible in their investments.

  • The comment you are responding to had meant that a bad actor can cross check other breached datasets for the emails and usernames leaked from Earth2.

    Since people reuse not just passwords but emails too, one may get access to other accounts of the impacted users, potentially even to accounts which have not been breached.

  • My previous workplace did the same thing around 2020 with the words whitelist and blacklist and some other words.

    It was around the same time when there was news about GitHub moving from master to main/mainline as the default Git branch.

  • Lot of knee jerk reaction here, to the point of not donating and abandoning the greatest collective effort made on the Internet.

    The specific suspended page directly relates to an ongoing lawsuit, where WikiMedia is the defendant.

    Also, Streisand effect much? :D
