Heh…I once was in a state-level coding event (it was a small portion of a larger competition) where half of the test was turning in code on a CD during the competition, with the written half during the event. My CD was deemed unusable for w

FD: I am a CMake developer. Yes, config packages are better. But I think doing find_package everywhere is better. Assuming you install an SDK for others to use your project. If you're a "product", vendor away. The issue comes

We manage Visual Studio on our CI machines using Ansible. Chocolatey installs the full Visual Studio and then we use the APIs provided to manage components via Ansible. See our action here: https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui&#x2F

I'm sure someone can make a verification parrot too. Why pull yourself up by the bootstraps when you can just strap a rocket engine on your boots instead?

I've thought about making a "word search" and embedding the passphrase in it using a pattern (e.g., a subset of a Knight's tour, a space-filling curve overlay, or some other sampling algorithm).

I agree that the YAML can get out of hand. We use the `extends` keyword to put together jobs from pieces so that details can live in one place and the job bits and graph description can live in another. The way we've done our pipelines

Why does it always feel so black-and-white? On our projects we do rebases all the time so that topic history is clean. But we merge into the target branch(es) (our merge bot supports merging to old release branches from a single MR). This

Look into river. It has the window management and keybindings able to be offered by other tools (I have an idea to implement one using XMonad's layouts). It also vastly improved battery on my Dell Pro laptop. 58% battery used in 7h45m

I don't think so? But I've never had issues on Linux to need to bother with alternatives (as a terminal dweller, drag and drop is very rare there).

If you have projects that fit within an app, sure. I do not. The only "apps" seen on my machines are terminal windows hosting tmux processes and Firefox. Everything else is ephemeral (mpv, dialogs, rofi, dunst). App-centric behavi

As someone who probably has a similar setup on Linux to the author: why do you have 10 windows for an app open? For me, grouping by app is terrible. Yes, they may all be "Terminal" or "Firefox" windows, but they are for

I know I am weird, but I detest using a MacBook trackpad. However, recently having used Asahi on one, I've found that it is the Apple software that makes it so. I find it really difficult to drag and drop (I would rather open Terminal

They are. If you rewrite history, you get a different hash. You can do some shenanigans with git-replace, but those are usually for stitching history across gaps (like hooking pre-publish history to public release for internal archaeology a

That works great for those that only use those tools. I, at least, do not and would appreciate something that doesn't care what editor I use or what forge happens to host the project.

This is true r now that `git bisect --first-parent` exists. But it didn't always. And even then, there are times you find out that there is "prep work" to land your feature. And a PR just to do some deck chair moving that ma

While I also find git-annex more elegant, its cross-platform story is weaker. Note that LFS was originally a collaboration between GitHub and Bitbucket (maybe? Some forge vendor I think). One had the implementation and the other had the nam

Just yesterday I had to edit something on an iPhone. I finally managed to put the cursor at the front to add a word before what was there already. But when I started typing, auto correct (or whatever) put the cursor back at the end of the w

I use that on Android all the time. But I feel I've only gotten it to work once or twice on iPhone. And even then the word boundaries were very "sticky" (IIRC) and precision placement still very difficult.

by mathstuf 1y ago
I also find editing on an iPhone to be an exercise in futility. Is it no longer possible to place a cursor in the middle of a word? I end up having to go to a word boundary and erase from there and retype everything. The keyboard touch area

One big benefit of symlinks (really, "not storing it in the deployment") is that my Git repo doesn't have a bunch of hidden files in it because they can appear in the link's path rather than the repo's path. I can a

IIRC, you need to run on Apple hardware for a valid SDK license. VM or Asahi or Hackintosh would suffice, but not a VM on a random Linux box. Or did the terms change lately?
