Cool, once again you still cannot cite where exactly on this particular blog post you saw them reference being a furry. I don’t really give a shit about anything else you have to say: make a citation. Or just, you know, admit you are wrong and did actually have to go looking for something to whine about.

All you have to do is stop with the wannabe-cryptic bullshit and post a quote from this article where they reference being a furry, but you can’t, because that would mean admitting you are wrong when I said “you had to click a link and go looking to find that” and you said “no i didn’t”.

Whatever dude. You clearly can’t offer any evidence from this one blog post, you obviously had to go looking for something. Otherwise you would have posted it instead of these comments that you think make you look smart or something.

"My ilk" I love how you just have this whole fantasy about who I am in your head, without actually knowing anything about me.

So please, show me where exactly on this blog post they reference being a furry? Or can you not, because you specifically went looking for something to whine about.

If you can't even do that, please explain how exactly I'm defending them. I doubt you can do that either, you're just being insufferable for no reason.

Let’s also work on your reading comprehension as well please. I’m not defending this person, I am asking you to please point out exactly where in this blog post they talk about it. From what I saw, I had to actually click a link )in other words, go looking) to discover they’re a furry or whatever the fuck they are.

So, please quote from this post where you saw it.

I’m not defending anything except the fact that I found this blog post informative. The fact that you went looking for something to take issue with the write over that was completely unrelated to their post, and now are just inventing caricatures about me in your head in order to have some weird fantasy about me crying out in pain is pretty fucking weird dude. You do need therapy.

You know you’re allowed to swear online right?

You actively had to go looking for something about this blog poster to be angry about. It must be painful to live that way, needing to find fault in people so desperately. Therapy might do you some good my friend.

We’re talking about a furry, not a war criminal. “Silent capitulation” lol. You’re hilarious.

I’m no fan furries either, but I also don’t see what bearing someone’s personal life has on how to configure a git forge. Maybe you should grow the fuck up?

I don’t think you actually read the article then. The first few paragraphs go into how many pages a git repo can actually be. In fact, you had to actually click on an entirely different link to read about them being a furry, meaning you purposefully went looking for something to complain about, rather than having an argument based on the merits of the post alone.

So? Does that somehow invalidate this article?

Good thing birds aren’t real.

So your eyes alone tell you that these young adults have convinced themselves they have some sort of incurable malady? Impressive. You still also dodge answering why you think it’s acceptable for your kid to call people derogatory terms.

I think it says a lot about you that you look at people and automatically assume your assessment of them is accurate. That you allow your child to talk shit about them.

And you don't think, "hey this is a learning opportunity for them, I can teach them the value of minding their own business, not judging people based on how they look, not making assumptions about people based on what I see" ? I don't think you're really helping your point the way you think you are. You said yourself they call them derogatory terms.

You should be a better parent then, and teach your son to not judge other people so harshly.

Yeah, their post history is basically “liberalism == leftism, and anything I don’t like is leftist” with a smattering of attacking made-up Fox News-esque caricatures of people they’ve likely never encountered.

I never said we needed 5k, if you have to pretend I said something in order to make an argument, you don’t really have an argument. You also provided no evidence that 5k reps can’t run a country either.

The U.K. has more than triple what we have. If we had 1500 representatives, that’s roughly 1 per 225k people. Not a great number, but much more reasonable at least, and also much closer to what representation was when the House was capped.

Smaller districts mean not just more accountability, but more similarity within the district. Right now, my district is 95% rural and 5% a slice of a city. I live in the city part, therefore my rep doesn’t care about what I have to say, as my wants and needs are different than the rural population that makes up the majority of who vote for him. Smaller districts are harder to gerrymander like this, and they also mean your rep probably lives a life relatively similar to yours - drives the same highways, experiences roughly the same tax burden, shops at the same places, participates in the same events. This will not be true for every case, but it’s still a better situation than what we have now.

Having the house capped is also ridiculous. My rep is also the rep for 750k+ other people. One person cannot represent a district that size appropriately at a federal level. They also cannot really respond to constituents properly either when they have that many.

Calm down dude, I can’t even downvote people.

The last time I read individual commits of a PR? Maybe two hours ago. Before that, maybe five hours ago. Not everyone works like you do. Some people like clean commits. As I said, it’s very helpful when reviewing a PR, for me. I never said it was helpful for you.

Right, small PRs are great. And they are even better with a nice commit history for me to follow. One does not exclude the other.

I do agree that this is a good compromise. For me, if I do a git blame and eventually can find the PR that led to change, if it has nice clean commits, that’s good enough.

Yeah, I think over use of GitHub, which seems to encourage squash-merging, has led to this where a lot of people I’ve seen treat a PR as essentially one commit - because it ends up being one in the end.

If you keep your PRs small I guess the end result is the same, but even then I like things in individual commits for ease of review.

I have a little script that does this automatically - lists out Jira tickets assigned to me, then when I select one, creates a branch with the ticket number and the title, subbing hyphens for spaces and truncating if needed. It’s handy for when I want to list branches, I can filter on keywords I remember from the ticket name.

Hard disagree here. GitHub does encourage this sort of thing, but even there for my PRs to be easily reviewable, I like to keep my commits organized and with good messages explaining things. That way the reviewer can walk the commits, and see why each thing was thing was done.

I also like it for myself, when I’m going over my own PRs before asking for a review - I will often amend commits to ensure the work is broken down correctly, each thing that should go together, does.

In a way, stacked PRs are just a higher-level abstraction of this too - same idea, keep work that goes together in the same place.

Most of the things I do with Neovim I could probably also do with VS Code (not sure about autocommands and macros though, I haven't used Code in years). I don't use a mouse much, I have a very keyboard-centric workflow. I was a Code user for years, but did most everything else in the terminal. I figured I would give it a try and I ended up just liking it. I like to tinker. I like to tweak my configuration. I like how I can set autocommands for things, pipe text into Vim and manipulate it, or record a quick macro for some repetitive task. I like that there are "Vim keymap" plugins for things like Firefox, so learning basic Vim keys has helped me outside of Vim. I like that I keep discovering new things Vim can do (and then promptly forgetting them most of the time, but still). I also like to spend 2 hours writing something to automate something that saves me two seconds.

It's absolutely not for everyone, though it looks like some of the pre-built configs (NvChad, LaZyVim, etc.) are decent enough of the box now that you don't need to go on the endless-customization journey if you don't want to. To me though, that's the appeal: tinkering, tweaking, refining. Generally when people ask if they should use Vim, I tell them probably not but try it for a few weeks and see if it clicks in your brain. I had a great VSCode setup, everything worked great, I was productive, but something about Vim just made more sense to me once I got over the hump of modes and all the keymaps you need to turn into muscle memory.

Edit: I also like that I can do abominations like:

("def" @keyword (#set! conceal "ƒ"))

("if" @keyword (#set! conceal "?"))

("unless" @keyword (#set! conceal "¿"))

("else" @keyword (#set! conceal "∶"))

("elsif" @keyword (#set! conceal "⁇"))

("case" @keyword (#set! conceal "⟨?"))

("when" @keyword (#set! conceal "→"))

("begin" @keyword (#set! conceal "⌊"))

to make Ruby look absolutely insane. Is it useful? No. Do people hate it when I share my screen? Yes.

Search is bad everywhere. If I open Settings, and then search for application $X, no results. If I search for $Y, $Y shows up. They are alphabetically next to each other, and I can see them both if I open the Applications submenu and scroll down to access individual app settings.

Why does one show up and one doesn’t? The one that doesn’t is a built-in Apple app, too. They both have identical settings for “show app in search”. This worked fine before iOS 26.

I’m referring entirely to built-in Apple apps - Mail, Messages, etc. The in-house apps can’t even get it right, which to me means:

- devs are so siloed, nobody knows what’s going on - product is not communicating anything outside of individual fiefdoms - there is zero QA testing - no designers are actually signing off on the final results

…which all seem pretty typical for a large bureaucracy, I guess I just had higher expectations of Apple, since we pay a premium for their products. Some of these bugs are frankly pretty embarrassing.

Beyond that, it’s buggy and inconsistent. In dark mode, text boxes suddenly become light mode when they expand to add a second entry line. Buttons aren’t aligned within their containers properly. Some times buttons are in light mode when my phone is in dark mode, or if I open an app, it starts out in light mode and then suddenly switches to dark mode after a second or two. There is a noticeable lag when I back out of a message before it loads the other conversations in iMessage.

I think I had tracked 15+ things I would easily qualify as bugs the first two days after upgrading my phone - this would be absolutely unacceptable where I work, and we aren’t a trillion-dollar company with psychotic hiring standards.

Was this even QAed? I don’t like the look, but that’s a personal thing, these are actual issues that are not subjective.
