What if you're an artist who enjoys creating your own art, but also, you need to pay rent?

Says who? (Of my 200+ published repos, I'd say about 175 contain code I wrote purely to scratch my own itches - if other people find it useful, great! If they don't find it useful, that's also fine with me - I'm not sure

Why is it any of your business how I do or don't describe my repos? (Genuine question, it seems like a really weird demand to impose on other people for no particular reason)

Unfortunately time and time again, the overwhelming majority of people show that they would rather deal with an unreliable scummy company for "free" than pay $1/mo for a reliable service which treats them with respect :(

"sophistication" seems like a strange way to describe GitHub to me - I've found in every individual aspect (code browsing, issue tracking, code review, package management, etc), it's the worst out of all the systems I us

The Direct Rendering Manager is useful for any Linux user who wants to display things on a monitor (unless you're happy with like 640x480 VESA, in which case maybe you don't need it)

I would imagine RSS solves this pretty nicely? (Though personally I subscribe to project blogs for major updates; the GitHub news feed is overwhelming with information I don't care about)

None of that is anything to do with collections

Other platforms have been doing it this way for over a decade, and I've found stacked diffs (with Phabricator and Gerrit at least, not tried the GH version yet) to massively simplify my workflow o_O

I am confused - I love JJ and stacked diffs with Gerrit and Phabricator, but trying to port that same "each commit gets reviewed individually, and things don't break when a half-reviewed stack gets rebased" workflow to GitHub

by Shish2k 2mo ago
JJ, Gerrit, codebutler, and I think a couple of others have all basically agreed upon a syntax for change IDs and they are converging their prior ad-hoc formats into one; but last time I checked, the request to the upstream git team of &quo

Funnily enough the two features that I've missed from phabricator are Stacked Diffs and the per-user opt-in whimsy mode, maybe GitHub can copy the latter next? :D

A couple of days ago I split a single class which did 5 barely-connected things, where each of the 5 entry points had another 5-10 private helper methods (none of which were shared between entry points), into 5 separate classes which each d

I was typing on a keyboard without a euro symbol, and ballparking the exchange rate was simpler than finding one :P

Followed the app's instructions to go to gate 15, sat there waiting for the gate to open, until eventually getting a notification that I'd missed the flight from gate 30. Went to the help desk, was told that since I was the only p

This is a reasonable point, if "enemies of freedom" and "enemies of America" are synonymous...

This doesn't prevent overrunning the buffer -- it means that when you do overrun the buffer, it does less damage

People within Meta have been campaigning for this for _years_; even people as high up as John Carmack were pushing for open bootloaders on deprecated hardware (and he achieved that on the Go headset, but not as a general policy)

javascript uses floats as its own default numeric data type; but other languages do have integers, and might want to convert those integers into a JSON (string) representation

FWIW you can still have a staging-area-like workflow with JJ - it's just that while git has "commits", "the staging area", "the working directory", and "stashes" as four separate concepts with fo

Last I checked (2 years ago) Meta was using Sapling, a very heavily customised open source Mercurial frontend with proprietary backend. FWIW the Sapling frontend can also be connected to a Git backend, and I've been using that for all

In the circles where I hang out I think community opinion is that go is _fine_, but python has faster iteration speed for experiments, and rust has better correctness and performance for production, so there's less excitement around it

Facebook started out PHP; but they ship-of-theseus'ed it into Hack by replacing the standard library, the language, and the runtime engine, so now it's a totally different thing with only a few superficial similarities (FWIW IMO H
