Exactly! How else can science explain the creation and continued existence of Mountain Dew?

Because we’re more akin to LLMs than we might be comfortable to admit. Or at least parts of us, subsystems of our psyches… Brains are belief engines more than they are objective parsers of reality.

Odd. I retired from arch to Manjaro. I’m baffled at the depiction of it being difficult. It’s been a smooth 6 years so far…and yes, Nvidia.

Wow fuckin’ wooosh with you and that one hey? Only a very weak beta would feel even remotely attacked by that movie. Good luck Chuck!

metaphor /mĕt′ə-fôr″, -fər/

noun

A figure of speech in which a word or phrase that ordinarily designates one thing is used to designate another, thus making an implicit comparison, as in “a sea of troubles” or One thing conceived as representing another; a symbol. The transference of the relation between one set of objects to another set for the purpose of brief explanation; a compressed simile; e. g., the ship plows the sea. 

God. What a beast Piranha was.

Wow! The prescient power to detect… checks notes

A pendulum swinging back!

No wonder you guys conquered the world.

This is what I get for skipping Latin…

I wonder if the origin of the word was a portmanteau of electricity and execute.

Execute to death, of course

This is why we need pasta with structural integrity field generators on every noodle.

Also: where pee is stored. And we can’t be irradiating that, or have we so soon forgotten?

Yes, that is another benefit, once you start getting muscle memory with the library. You start to parcel things by context a bit more. It’s upped my habit of discrete commit-by-hunks, which also serves as a nice self-review of the work.

🤦 your reading comprehension “bro”

God not this shit again.

👏 Super duper this is the way. No notes!

Quasi parallel reply to your other post, this would kind of echo the want for a capital letter at the start of the commit message. Icon indicates overall topic nature of commits.

Lets say I am adding a database migration and my commit is the migration file and the schema. My commit message might be:

     🗃️ Add notes to Users table

So anyone looking at the eventual pr will see the icon and know that this bunch of work will affect db without all that tedious “reading the code” part of the review, or for team members who didn’t participate in reviews.

I was initially hesitant to adopt it but I have very reasonable, younger team mates for whom emojis are part of the standard vocabulary. I gradually came to appreciate and value the ability to convey more context in my commits this way. I’m still guilty of the occasionally overusing:

   ♻️ Fix the thing

type messages when I’m lazy; doesn’t fix that bad habit, but I’m generally much happier reading mine or someone else’s PR commit summary with this extra bit of context added.

Could have been worse. I mean, like, imagine of you were using like CVS and you put a watch on the root! Haha and then like every trivial commit in the repo caused everyone to in the entire org to get an email and it crashed the email servers.

Like who’d even DO that?! Though, I bet if you met that guy he’d be ok. Like not a jerk, and pretty sorry for all those emails. A cool guy.

You nailed it with the critique of commit messages. We use gitmoji to convey at-a-glance topic for commits and otherwise adhere to Tim Pope’s school of getting to the point

100% they do. Rebase is an everyday thing, merge is for PRs (for me anyway). Or merges are for regular branches if you roll that way. The only wrong answer is the one that causes you to lose commits and have to use reflog, cos…well, then you done messed up now son… (but even then hope lives on!)

Here’s an example

Say I work on authentication under feature/auth Monday and get some done. Tuesday an urgent feature request for some logging work comes in and I complete it on feature/logging and merge clean to main. To make sure all my code from Monday will work, I will then switch to feature/auth and then git pull --rebase origin main. Now my auth commits start after the merge commit from the logging pr.
