I thought it was la chupacabra

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.

You can open up mx switches, but you’ll need a tool. You can also desolder the switch and solder back on when you’re done (switches are one of the easiest things on the planet to solder). Green is copper corrosion, so you just need to scrub the contact with some steel wool or sandpaper, or clean with a chemical cleaner. If you can desolder the switch you can always just buy a new one to replace it as well. You should not need to desolder 28 keys to reach it though. Just the one, then they have little tabs holding them in, so you can just push them out with the little nub on the bottom.

I posted the nohello.com website once in my slack and then from that point on just stopped responding to hello, hi, hi tyler, etc. What @[email protected] talks about below is exactly my case:

That makes perfect sense, and I see why the habit became so commonplace; but that’s exactly why this is annoying to anyone who is highly responsive on a messaging app, especially if responding to requests for help is part of their professional work. They pay attention to their notifications, so the notifications are probably configured to be noisy. Checking a notification before it’s actionable is a waste of their time, albeit a small one.

I just don’t have time to give my attention to those people. They can either get their help elsewhere or they can ask a question. I know that sounds rude, but I will help literally anyone that asks within minutes of them messaging me, so it’s literally the smallest thing to ask for.

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.

I really want to visit now.

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

Like someone else said, you are supporting many of these companies indirectly, even if you don’t know it. It’s not really possible to avoid, and probably not worth the effort. If you like a company’s product, tell them to stop advertising on things you disagree with.

LibreOffice is more than slightly worse, but FOSS projects cover the gamut. The thing about them is that the best ones are usually laser focused on exactly what the user needs, rather than what makes the most money.

iOS literally prompts you to provide permission for that when you first start up your phone (either restore, or first use). So either you opted in or out but they’re pretty transparent about it.

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.
