You're not going to get a VP job talking like that.

Radiolab also did an episode [1] which I really enjoyed, excited to listen to the 99% one

there's an animal version of this too: metazooa [1]

I used to play a few of their [2] games daily, but have fallen out of the habit.

FWIW that link didn't work for me seems the anchor tag is #paypal

they address this in the original post:

naming things and off-by-one errors
I think sometimes this happens to reset the reviews. If the score gets to low, they just publish a new app. Or they fix an issue that people have been complaining about for a while. Maybe they want to increase ad spend and those 1 stars from three years ago make it hard to promote?
Re:Idiot Proof Git on Wednesday November 09, 2022 @10:19AM (#33532806)
It's not really, but there are a couple minor differences in practice.

First, it assumes the name of your upstream repository is "origin" which is fine in most cases as that is what `git clone` defaults to naming the remote.

Second, using `HEAD` always pushes your current checked our branch to your remote with a remote branch of the same name. It's a neat trick to skip the "`git push` -> you need to set your upstream branch -> push command the git outputs" loop.

Lastly, `--force-with-lease` is a safer version of `--force` or `-f` because it tries to ensure that you don't overwrite history accidentally. The `--force-with-lease` flag will fail if a coworker for example pushed a commit to your branch that you didn't know about. Where a regular `--force` would just overwrite that change.

I assume that the command is meant to be "safe" and "foolproof", in that this command should always work.

Since the parent post recommends a lot of rebasing in their other commands, you'll need a `--force` or `--force-with-lease` to push new commits because they won't be "fast forwardable"

Just wanted to make sure, it wasn't clear to me if you just liked their modifications or you weren't familiar with the quote at all :)

In case you don't know. This is a variation of the first paragraph of the Wheel of Time book series by Robert Jordan. Each book opens with a variation of this same paragraph
Re:Tell HN: Somebody implemented something I wrote a blog about on Tuesday September 20, 2022 @04:14PM (#32917185)
I have a little blog that occasionally gets hits when the SEO winds blow my way and twice people have reached out thanking me for a post. It's made my whole month! And encourages me to keep posting stuff. So I really appreciate that you do that, I should make an effort to do the same.

I write the blog as more of documentation for myself than something to share, but knowing that I've helped someone else is icing on the cake.

As a hack you could make a comment yourself on all of your posts. You may even be able to remove the comment after the discussion was created...
This is really cool.

Oddly it seems to get the wrong name for a river in my hometown. If I drop a pin in Columbus, OH it should flow into a creek or whatever, then the Scioto River and down to the Ohio. But the listing shows the Scioto as "Paint Creek." This misnaming of the Scioto River holds true as I head South and try in Circleville or Chillocothe. Still really neat!

I had something worse(?) happen with one of my accounts for a hotel chain. I entered [email protected] and they just stripped out the + leaving me with an account that I couldn't use unless I made another account at the email provider.

Oh awesome, well if you need someone to test out a draft of the post let me know. I'd be glad to help

Did you follow a particular tutorial or do you have any resources you'd recommend to help replicate this setup?

I've been interested in setting up a private network similar to what you describe and your comment has piqued my interest in finally building it
