This guy's cute.

Never heard of Hg before? SVN? CVS? Clearcase? SCCS? SCCS++ like unix used? I understand if source code management seems a new skill since it's just been a part of devel for 40-ish years, but one writing about devel could get a handle on it first.

I stopped reading when he wrote "these asks" like "ask" was a noun used by someone writing seriously and not a car salesman. I guess one could "action" an "ask" about the "spend" while "doing lunch", as those all fit the 1984 sales-brody template.

Kinda short for a 7-11 or an Urgent Care.

Infighting and arguing over who the candidate should be. The “All is lost” attitude.

"Democrats must fall in love; Conservatives must fall in line."

The hand-wringing is normal: it's a characteristic, core to the democratic party but almost completely absent from the Republicans where it's replaced by loyalty.

I’ve seen many people insist Ir’s “sike”, though.

Anecdotal 'trump-style' evidence aside, those people are what we like to refer to as morons.

It changes through continuous usage and acceptance from society.

"Clique popularity", then.

Point out the largest clique and see what they've done already. Witness your future to come. Hint: America's 'literally' and its dog-food spelling isn't the leader.

Both are correct. Language changes.

Apparently through popularity. It's like this need for evolution isn't checking for validity so much as "did the mean girls make a mistake that we should cover up?" .

The French have it right.

The comma splice could make this one very dated.

They made a lot of promises. Some of them they didn't keep. Let's just go see the trudeaumeter and have a quick comparison.

Wait. Where's oTooleMeter? scheerMeter? BitcoinMilhouseMeter?

This is a conspiracy.

my stupid body is on a schedule

Sticking to the same schedule is supposed to be good for you. Some kinda circadian rhythm thing.

So be okay with it. Your body is doing you a solid.

Git itself is extremely versatile and can be as useful as you are want it to be if you put in the time to learn it.

I love how much spare time you have to learn and maintain your infrastructure unnecessarily instead of working on the code. It's like being a bus driver by day, and mechanic all night.

We tried to pronounce "atlassian" like "half-assed-ian" .

legacy software full [of?] a truckload of arcane commands & flags with bad defaults

You need to learn about xargs. It'll make you cry. But when I needed to properly parallelize a RHSatellite run - wow is pulp ever a bag of shit - so it would finish in under 9 hours and not trip over itself with 105 (no shit) different repos, it was integral.

There are three different kinds of grep, and they have incompatible command line switches.

I'm not gonna list the plethora of tools with arcane and/or lengthy option lists, but I do wish I could impress upon you the idea that every tool evolves , and evolution is usually coupled with growth and specialized additions.

Pay-wall link: https://globalnews.ca/news/9938774/air-canada-vomit-seat-passenger-apology/

Air Canada has apologized to customers who were allegedly escorted off a plane for refusing to sit in a chair covered with vomit for the duration of their over four-hour flight.

The airline issued a statement after a viral Facebook post claimed two as-yet unidentified female flyers were told there was nothing to be done about the visible vomit on their soiled seats.

Oh! AirCanada!

We've been using Yum (and now its "differenter name is betterer" dnf) for what, 20 years?

You think we'll ever get someone with a clue to fix this? Will RedHat going all IBM about source code help?

Okay, so what's with Gitlab and ServiceNow getting so fat on whitespace that they no longer fit in half a 1920x1200 screen properly?

What's the standard width that actual professional webdevs are building toward? Is there a standard, or like app dependendencies are they back to pre-y2k "moar moar nom nom" methodologies?

Look. It happens a few times a week, where reps in 3 time-zones will be fucked by an interruption to azure services like o341 or sharepoint (we don't do VMs in azure; not secure enough).

I'm used to shadenfreuding Reddit over that, or at least finding it's not just our company firewall and VPN taking the Proverbial.

Is there a sub I can join to get the topical junk like that? I'm too indolent - like a fox! - to go to twitter (or ideally mastodon) for a more suitable location; but will I find it there if I do? Can it be here too?

I didn't find this yet, but please downvote to hell itself and drop a link to the proper prior post in comments if you find it.

In here, eventually, are some comments from the Fedora project leader about how RHEL trying to kill open access to source and packaging source code is potentially going to affect Fedora, RedHat's ginger adopted stepchild which it usually overlooks.

I must say there's a LOT to wait through and one of them has a mic with a bad level at times, and I didn't sit all the way through. Tell me if I've been scammed, but I thought this may have value and I'm hoping to hear confirmation of that too.

Enjoy? Or flame me. Happy Friday.
