I feel like GOG would be more popular if their client were better. Maybe more usable with a controller too?

And something that would help competition in the game launcher space in particular would be if OSes had great built-in controller support (and controller OS navigation) so we wouldn’t have to rely on Steam for it.

Idk how Linux handles it but today on Mac I accidentally sent a folder to trash that was in use by four programs at once.

Mac OS did not give a shit. It nuked it.

Is that what interactive rebase tools use?

I don’t do CLI git

Huh. Never thought of it that way. I was never bothered by a long commit history at all. Search and filter tools in the git client always get me where I want.

The one issue I have is when there are way too many extant branches and the graph takes up happy half my screen.

But that’s more of a Fork issue than it is a fundamental one. The Fork dev could conceivably find a solution for that.

Either way, I guess I see what you mean. I’m just not that strict about commits. Commits just for the linter aren’t a thing since we have a pre-commit hook for that, and typo-fixing commits… Well, they happen, but they’re typically not numerous enough that I’d find them to be any sort of issue.

As for whether I’d really want to revert a particular change – while I work, yes. Afterwards, I see what you mean; i could probably squash 50 commits into 15 or something. But when I think about the time investment of reviewing every commit and thinking about how they ought to be grouped together before making my merge request… I have a lot of trouble convincing myself it’s a good time investment.

Maybe I’d think otherwise if we had a huge team. We have maybe 10 devs on this project at any given time.

That’s a good explanation of what it’s supposed to do. That was how I understood it as well.

But anytime I’ve tried it, I’ve ended up with conflicts where there shouldn’t be (like, I already solved that conflict when I merged earlier) and/or completely undesirable results in the end (for instance, some of my changes are just NOT in the result).

So I just gave up on the whole feature. Simpler to just merge the source branch into mine.

Hmm, I’m less afraid of force push. It does what it says on the tin. If I pushed a fuck-uo to remote and a reset is the simplest way out, you can bet I’m force-pushing that reset.

Why would you want to squash? Feels weird to willingly give up history granularity…

I don’t understand it. Every time I see something about a rebase it’s some purist telling me it’s “cleaner”. Never got it to do what it says on the tin, and never hit a situation that I couldn’t solve using more straightforward tools like merge.

As long as you never touch the rebase button, you’ll be fine. Probably.

Canada was almost unaffected by the 2008 crisis. Harper was a hardline old-school conservative. I don’t remember everything, but I remember he favoured tax cuts for those who needed them the least and the fossil fuel industry, he tried his darndest to kill all government-funded science, and he really hated CBC/Radio-Canada, a state-funded media group, and reduced their funding significantly.

If Trump is emotional, chaotic evil, Harper is smart, calculated evil.

Did you just note Typescript, a superset of JavaScript that needs to be compiled into it, as closer to the system?

Also does it technically constitute a language? That feels like a stretch too.

Oh boy why are people like this.

There aren’t many Jewish people here so by proxy I’ve never seen antisemitism in person. I’m not well-placed to talk at all.

That said, it’s hard not to wonder whether the term antisemitism isn’t being used abusively…

I mean so far we haven’t given them much reason to think otherwise.

If that doesn’t reveal anything, maybe try to get your hands on a dirt cheap alternate GPU. Memory and GPU would also be my two possible suspects.

Also GPU driver I guess but I feel like you wouldn’t be alone with the issue then.

I miss the old days when I didn’t know that exists

Could a similar meme be made between distributions?

Making first past the post worse is a challenge. I’m proud of Americans for raising the bar of terrible voting systems

Parties used to get a bit of funding for every vote. Conservatives didn’t like that and they repealed it under Harper.

Now all they get is, I guess, pride?

In a riding where the other candidates don’t stand a chance, I vote for the candidate who doesn’t stand a chance but whose party’s values I like best. Like the NDP or the greens.

Doesn’t do much, but in a way, it’s freeing and I can pretend I’m free to vote for anyone.

If someone has a chance to beat the worst candidate, though, I’ll vote for the most likely one. And that’s the most depressing situation of all.

I really hate this voting system. But it’d take a miracle for it to change.
