I don't think I would like this. He mentions Excel does something similar and Excel is my least favourite app to cut/copy/paste in.

This is what what I do. I never see the commits from branches but they are there if I need them. Even git blame can be setup to use --first-parent

That's why you have to group similar forms.
- Bricks
- Plates
- Narrow Plates
- Wheels
- Windows/Doors
- Smooth pieces
- People bin
And then if you like to sort further you sort out the smallest of each bin because those always fall to the bottom when mixed together

The tables I've seen with one goalie have raised corners so that the ball doesn't get stuck there. You see it more on budget tables in my experience.

They took a long break from them after 1.1, the first version was finished. They started again recently in preparation for the 2.0 release, which will hopefully be sometime next year.

Re:The Internet Archive has Lego set instructions
on Thursday July 06, 2023 @11:36AM (#36617647)
Brinklink has list for each brick of the set it belongs too. I was able to use that to discover a set I didn't know my older brothers had.
I mainly use magit for reviewing changes, staging and committing. I haven’t found an interface that compares for staging and discarding hunks. But checking out branches I do on the command line and I use Meld for resolving conflicts.

You'd think that reddit would be smart enough to show web crawlers a cleaner version than real users, or is that not allowed? Maybe google needs whitelist some of the biggest sites on the web so they can feed searchable data into google in a more efficient way.

What kind of orbit would that be? In order for it to be that close so rarely it must spend most of its time even further from earth.

I'd love a watch like this, but none of them seem to work with iOS. I don't know if sideloading iOS apps would help with that. Apple seems to keep the messaging and notification API's pretty locked down.

That’s not true, most beef comes from beef cows, which are slaughtered around 2 years. Milk cows are much different breeds and the females are kept around for up to 10 years. They might be eaten after that, but they don’t produce nice steaks.

That's what's being discussed, do "they" change every golf course or just nerf the equipment for pros a bit? Which also has the added benefit that amateurs can still play the course as intended.
