You can review a PR commit by commit. But it's not obvious how in the UI. Navigate to the commits tab on the PR page and you can navigate through the commits in the PR and review them one by one. Although it's possible this isn&#x

I was reading the git-bug documentation and found "bridges" to third-party platforms: https://github.com/git-bug/git-bug/blob/master/doc/usage/thi... I have not tried it.

Don't be disappointed. That's cool! You've independently discovered something.

That's a brief statement which makes me think I'm missing something obvious, but it doesn't seem obvious to me. Would you please expand on that?

I mount the board on some nylon standoffs through a takeaway box lid. The rest of the takeaway box is the enclosure. I drill some holes through the takeaway box for wire ingress and egress. I use a tupperware container if I'm feeling f

I need this for practice. Perhaps I ought to use text-to-speech and then transcribe the audio back to text and compare.

You and I know that, but it's not important or useful to a non-French speaker learning English. To those people, those are merely English words. And indeed, they are English, even if they're French imports. I think even a lot of E

As someone who is currently learning French and (amateur) teaching English I agree in general with your take on English. The frequency with which I say "yes, it doesn't really make sense to pronounce it that way" is high. Eng

I've spent quite some time in France over the past few years and variously dealt with websites of French organisations during this time. I'm not sure what it is, but French websites seem typically to be frustratingly semi-function

Thanks for the reply. Upon further inspection, it looks like it's `lines`. It might also be `filter` but I haven't quickly come up with a way to determine whether that's the case. I opened an issue: https://github.

Thank you! I've been using Nushell for a couple of weeks and at this point I don't see myself going back. Modern configuration. Great interactive usage (structured data, mostly!). I thought I'd like it, but more so than expec

How would you achieve your example with macros? My inclination would be to do this with regex replace and I can't think how I'd do it with macros. I guess there's some functionality I'm missing? Jump-to-first-upper-case-

These are of course, good points; cement probably being more porous than many people perceive. Just a little (hopefully interesting) speculation: adhesion might be less important, or entirely unnecessary if the reinforcing material isn&#x27

Could you be more explicit, perhaps with an example? Do you simply mean you prefer function/constructor parameters over DI?

Listening to a podcast[1] a while ago and the interviewee talked about the pervasiveness of the tobacco industry in our culture. At the risk of misrepresenting him: I think he would probably argue that the tobacco industry has manufactured

That's a clever thought. Do you know whether connections could be established outside the tunnel after you disable airplane mode but before the tunnel is re-established?

As I read it, it recommends Phillips for manufacturing due to self centering and perhaps cam out; and Torx and Robertson for manual applications. I guess it draws this particular contrast with "manual" applications to highlight th

I think the rule is this: if your vehicle is considered roadworthy in one country as evidenced by passing a roadworthiness test, called an MOT test in the UK, Contrôle Technique in France, ITV in Spain (those are the ones I know) it will qu

It occurred to me in the wake of the release of these Pandora papers that mass availability of tax avoidance could be one way of shutting down (almost) any availability thereof. Worded cynically: bring tax avoidance to the middle class and

It's probably a bit late to bother replying to this, but hey, here goes anyway. Believe it or not, I wasn't arguing against you. My main point was to agree with you, and to inform: markets exist for lessons. The prices are quite r
