What made them change their mind? Pretty sure that’s always been part of the implication lol.

Roblox came out in 2006? On what platform?

Like imagine if we referred to the South of France as the area from Paris to the northwest corner. That’s how dumb it is. It’s so stupid.

the term as used by the Census Bureau is the Mideast by actual geography.

I understand where it came from. It has been incorrect for over a hundred years. It was actually called the North Central Region up until 1984, so we’ve literally regressed from the 80s. https://web.archive.org/web/20240926043523/https://www.census.gov/history/www/programs/geography/regions_and_divisions.html

I think they hadn’t ever used git before, and according to at least one person in the linked issue, vs code might have auto initialized the git repository for the user.

No he asked for a discard after importing the project into VS Code. discard in git terms refers to git reset, not git clean. Even if he wanted to run a git reset then this version of VS Code would have run a git clean and deleted everything. Imagine he committed all 5000 files, but had a secret.json that he hadn’t committed. He didn’t add it to gitignore either. Running a git reset --hard will not delete this file, but the VS Code button did exactly that because it ran a git clean.

the problem is that VS Code ran git clean if you clicked yes, which is completely idiotic behavior. No other git client, text editor, or IDE on the planet does that.

discarding changes does not discard uncommitted new files. The VS Code button did a git clean which is completely unexpected. Git even refers to a git clean with completely different terminology.

git reset -> “Resets the index and working tree. Any changes to tracked files in the working tree since are discarded.”

git clean -> “Cleans the working tree by recursively removing files that are not under version control, starting from the current directory.”. This command also requires you to specify a force option to actually do something, else it quits with an error.

Note that git clean never once refers to discarding anything, and git reset never refers to removing untracked files. VS Code was doing an idiotic thing. Running git reset --hard AND git clean. There is absolutely no reason to be running git clean from an UI button ever. If you want to remove a file you can explicitly remove it.

Imagine that the button said “Discard all changes” and then it ran rm -rf --no-preserve-root /*. Would that make sense as a button? No. It definitely would not.

Or lede for that matter

I’m American and I’ve never heard a single person ever pronounce it “close”. Listen closely and you’ll hear that the word sounds longer. That’s the pronunciation. It’s not a hard “thuh”. It’s a soft “ths”. Say the word “cloths” but use a long “o” sound rather than “awh”.

Didn’t even have to click. Great poem

I will die on the hill that “the midwest USA” means Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, etc. rather than fucking Illinois. Nobody knows the internal or historical politics of another country. When you refer to Midwest on the Internet, people from other countries automatically assume it’s an actual direction. There’s zero reason in this day and age to refer to a region by an outdated, historical term that has no basis in reality, especially when that term is absolutely harmful to understanding.

Thank you for listening to my TED Talk.

How much is it gonna cost us to create this new “D.O.G.E.” Department and pay Musk? The cost of these studies is completely irrelevant to the situation, like others have said the GOP props up ridiculous situations and makes it seem like they represent the entire situation, and they do it to disguise what they’re doing which is fleecing taxpayers money to private corps.

Yeah how much is this “office” going to cost the taxpayers? I would guess a lot more than $100k on a sunfish experiment.

Companies spend hundreds of millions on lots of shit that doesn’t work. There have been plenty of studies saying that ads are not nearly as effective as companies think they are. Do you think that companies are somehow smarter than the people outside those companies?

Being exposed to a product that exists is not an ad. An ad is explicitly something that a company has paid to make visible to people. If a company isn’t paying for it then it’s not an ad, no matter how much it sounds like one.

And yes, going to a store and trying shit out is exactly how it should go. Reading reviews and talking to others is exactly how it should go. Companies paying to manipulate people of the world using psychology is what ads are. Not seeing a product being used in the wild.

a paid notice that is published or broadcast (as to attract customers or to provide information of public interest)

You also need to know what the internal GitHub event json looks like. Using act was such a pain I just gave up. Have tried several times now and it’s just easier to create a second repo just for testing and overwrite it with your current repo anytime you need to do major workflow changes.

Hawaiian coffee is $25 a pound, at least it was when I bought some there a few years ago

I think you have got to be meme’ing. You literally wrote 7 paragraphs about how to build something for python when for other languages it’s literally a single command. For Ruby, it’s literally bundle. Nothing else. Doesn’t matter if it’s got C packages or not. Doesn’t matter if it’s windows or not. Doesn’t matter if you have a different project one folder over that uses an older gem or not. Doesn’t matter if it’s 15 years old or not. One command.

Just for comparison for gradle it’s ./gradlew build For maven is mvn install For Elixir it’s mix deps.get mix compile For node it’s npm install

every other language it’s hardly more than 1 command.

Python is the only language that thinks that it’s even slightly acceptable to have virtual environments when it was universally decided upon decades ago to be a tremendously bad idea. Just like node_modules which also was known to be a bad idea before npm decided to try it out again, only for it to be proven to be a bad idea right off the bat. And all the other python build tools have agreed that virtual envs are bad.
