  • thanks

  • yes, but in this particular case I wouldn't want to second guess my decrement operation just happens to also be calling the white house or whatnot. Just make a method.

  • that's why c++ gets bullied

  • a logical skeuomorphism, how eccentric

  • Because this whole discussion is fucking stupid. There was no good reason for a change.

  • similarly, I use master and stable, it helps that PRs default to master, making changes to stable more intentional.

  • I'm glad I'm not part of "we"

  • That's weird, I watched Children of Men last night

  • yeah, at the very least a collective thing in a classroom

  • Then we have the "it works on my machine" issue. I'm vehemently against symlinks pointing out of the code repository because of that.

  • yeah, I think these are the main hurdles for me:

    1. Untracked files are not copied

    When you create a new worktree, it is created from whatever is comitted, so gitignored or uncomitted files are not copied.

    So if you have .env files, you have to copy them over manually. And for dependencies, like for example node_modules, you would have to run npm install again in the new worktree.

    Mainly .env files, as they are handcrafted. And:

    1. Editor / IDE complexity.

    A few projects I work on are multi-root (using VS Code terminology) and that's already complex enough. Adding worktree directories means adding a level to that, which I'm not bought in. And I don't want a separate workspace for each branch I work on, that just shifts the complexity from git to the IDE / editor.

  • C++: all the footguns you need plus a lot more that you never imagined in a single language

  • what the hell does an ISP want with that, that's nuts

  • Voiceprinting as an identification for wealthy bank clients grew popular more than a decade ago, with customers typically asked to utter a challenge phrase into the phone to access their accounts.

    ha, I thought it was just a movie trope

    sometimes it feels like banks will use literally anything but recommended practices for multi-factor authentication

  • it's common practice as a workaround to save this when changing contexts, since this may change under you, in callbacks and such

  • nah, I'm never complaining about self in Python after having tried the this and that nonsense in JS.

    oh, you're using a named function instead of an arrow fn? Guess what, this is not what it used to be anymore.
