You got me in the first 3 quarters, not gonna lie!

There are cases where instead of origin/master..HEAD you may want to use @{upstream}..HEAD instead to compare with the upstream of your current branch. It’s unfortunately quite unknown.

That’s an interesting idea, but as someone else pointed using a voice modulator would be much better. Technical skills are importants, but human behaviors too. I would not trade a nice average coworker for someone who is better technically but doesn’t know how to communicate. And typing is complementary, not a replacement for voice communication since the amont of information you can share in a minute is 3-5 times higher by voice.

What do you mean by that?

You seems to have a severe issue so I’m not sure what I’m going to say may help.

Learning something and then forgeting it is absolutely normal. Repetition over and exponentially long time and sleep in between helps a lot. Some people use flashcards to helps with memorisation. The idea is simple, when you learn something you write question + answers on a piece on paper (usually bristol for easy manipulation) and put it in a box. This box has multiple compartment: every day, every second day, once a week, once every second week, once every second month for example. When you add a card you add it to the “every day” compartment. Then each day you open all the compartment of the current day and ask yourself all the questions. If you correctly remember the answer you put it in the next compartment, and if you don’t you put it back to the “every day” one.

Another way to helps you understand and rembembering things is to explain them to others. If you don’t have someone to explain what you just learn you can create youtube video (even if noone will watch them but you do as if you had an audience). As bonus you now have a video that explains using your language something you just learn if you ever forget it!

Moving to git is nice but I don’t understand why they don’t self-host a gitlab instance.

step 1: learn to comment everything. This will helps code reviewer to catch errors because your code doesn’t match the comments

step 2: write your code in a way that makes comments useless and stop writting them

step 3: write your code just like you did in step 2, but documents all the things that you didn’t do, or why the code is more complicated than the naive approach. If your arguments are weak you are not in step 3, but in step 1.

It’s especially true when you want to parse some json/xml/whatever. Just describe your datastuctures with regular struct and enum, add serde and done! It’s like magic!

Would encoding images in oklch before compressing them using jppeg or whatever is used for video compression helps to have much better dark while still keeping current compression ratio?

Syntax has never really be an issue. The closest thing to plain english programming are legal documents and contracts. As you can see they are horrible to understand but that the only way to correctly specify exactly what you want. And code is much better at it. Another datapoint are visual languages like lego mindstorm or LabView. It’s quite easy to do basic things, but it doesn’t scale at all.

This new OKLCH color space looks really nice to use. It’s surprising that it’s really human readable, I wouldn’t have guessed that you could do it for random colors.

I’m a bit surprised. Why does OKLAB gradiant looks better than OKLCH?

I need to re-try it. I really like like lsp/dsp are first class cityzen, including the keybindings, and that there is better text objects than in vanilla neovim. Last time I tried it there was a few things that where not that easy to set-up (I forget what), but I should definitively take the time to learn it.

I just wish that neovim/kakoune/helix had a marketplace just like vscode. It make the discovery and installation so much easier when everyone use the same tools.

I do understant why old unicode versions re-used “i” and “I” for turkish lowercase dotted i and turkish uppercase dotless I, but I don’t understand why more recent version have not introduce two new characters that looks exactly the same but who don’t require locale-dependant knowlege to do something as basic as “to lowercase”.

Just toebe sure, what’s the name of this new terminal emulator? termkit?

That’s true. But at least you will have evidence that Martin doesn’t conform to the team rules.

One way to make it obvious which function can be called at which state is to use different type. Like UnbackedPizza and CookedPizza, and the bake function takes the former and returns the later.

If your hierarchy is trying to destroy the product you create, just leave. You are not the main stackholder, and do not get benefits from the well-being of your product. The only things that should be importants as and an employee are “is my job interesting” and “are the work conditions great”. If you have to fight your management, they have already lost you because they just broke your trust, as well as the second point.

Cardboards are actually quite good at heat insulation. If you have an electric oven (no flame) and put the temperature below 200°C (ignition is at a slighly higher temperature but oven aren’t precise), there is no risk. So you can totally reheat pizza at 180°C on its cardboard.

That’s well written. I think that requiered 2+ code review could also help because with time more people will gain knowledge of the dark parts of the codebase, just by reviewing the PR of “Martin” when he work on them.
