In fairness, it’s an old issue and they did put in the work to address the issue report.

Interesting. I wouldn’t know, because I code everything perfectly the first time.

Disclaimer: The above flagrant lie was brought to you by my also using rebase and squash to hide all of my mistakes.

It appears that the behavior actually included a git clean. Which is insane in my opinion.

Yeah. Building a convenient accessible context free way to run git clean…sure feels like the actions of someone who just wants to watch the world burn.

Yeah. They did substantially modify the message to make it much clearer, thankfully.

Yeah. That’s discussed in more detail in the code change that resulted from the issue report.

It’s a ballsy move by the VSCode team to not only include git clean but to keep it after numerous issue reports.

As others discussed in that thread, git clean has no business being offered in a graphical menu where a git novice may find it.

That said, I do think the expanded warning mesage they added addresses the issue by calling my out that whatever git may think, the user is about to lose some files.

When I left the project they rehired them and let them design the v2 of the project we just fixed.

Lol. Wow.

And that is why I’ve been unable to work myself out of a job in all my long years as a developer.

Nice. Honestly, pretty well corralled, I would say.

Incidentally, I’m amused that one of the more popular responses includes the classic phrase

“Why can’t we all just get along”

Which I tend to notice after having had it explained well to me once by someone with more empathy than my own.

I won’t belabor it, but they pointed out to me that being tempted to say “Why can’t we all just get along” is usually a sign that we haven’t actually listened effectively.

So now when I hear or read “Why can’t we all just get along”, I see that [X] and hear the buzz from “Family Feud”, and hear one of the Family Feud host kindly say “No points. Let’s try again.”

That’s why I think it’s important that we bring Christmas back to its true religious roots: Fertility, hunting, and maybe a cult of the dead.

Well, that and I just kind of want to piss off all of my pearl clutching relatives.

But seriously, thank you for the reminder that this can be a particularly hard season.

I hope your solstice is marked by good times with real friends and chosen family.

Lol. Well good guess.

I’m not a primary source or anything, of course. Your comment just matches something I heard once in office gossip.

I have and my wife likes to test it as she never has anything to say to me unless im in the middle of a cutscene that can’t be paused.

As someone who has also found true love…I felt that comment in my bones. I guess it cannot be true love if it’s never tested…lol.

Edit: And all the game developers who make ‘start’ skip the cutscene instead of pausing it need to fix their shit. Argh. Lol.

I had the privilege of having lunch with an entomologist once, and yes.

Also, some of them keep advanced databases for looking up cool bugs in case they can’t remember them later.

Maybe they just have a big sign that just says “HERE”.

The hand-book says we roll 1d6. On a one or a two, we save the monkey torturer. On a 4-6, we put both doses back in storage.

I’m banking on that, myself.

Give directly to the charity yourself, you’ll get a sticker and sometime a free pen.

Lol. I can confirm, it’s true!

Joking aside, some of my most cherished possessions are hand-written thank-you notes from worthwhile causes that I support.

(Especially ones from children! “Donors Choose” is great when I need some crayon drawn notes in exchange for buying some school supplies.)

(And given the context, I should clarify, from my own money, not someone else’s.)

Suoer-computing is a pain-in-the-ass, so my guess is some combination of SUSE picking up top talent that left other Linux vendors as IBM has been purchasing them, and SUSE just being willing to put in the extra work for the added brand recognition.

Yeah. Thankfully, Windows server cleaned up that stupidity starting around 2006 and finished in around 2018.

Which all sounds fine until we meditate on the history that basically all other server operating systems have had efficient remote administration solutions since before 1995 (reasonable solutions existed before SSH, even).

Windows was over 20 years late to adopt non-grapgical low latency (aka sane) options for remote administration.

I think it’s a big part of the reason Windows doesn’t appear much on this chart.

Heh. I don’t think that number was ever official, but I heard it as well.

Heh. I don’t think that number was ever official, but I heard it as well.

That’s certainly a big part of it. When one needs to buy a metric crap load of CPUs, one tends to shop outside the popular defaults.

Another big reason, historically, is that Supercomputers didn’t typically have any kind of non-command-line way to interact with them, and Windows needed it.

Until PowerShell and Windows 8, there were still substantial configuration options in Windows that were 100% managed by graphical packages. They could be changed by direct file edits and registry editing, but it added a lot of risk. All of the “did I make a mistake” tools were graphical and so unavailable from command line.

So any version of Windows stripped down enough to run on any super-computer cluster was going to be missing a lot of features, until around 2006.

Since Linux and Unix started as command line operating systems, both already had plenty fully featured options for Supercomputing.
