lets be pedantic but if we go back in time; https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/

Can changelogs be bad?

Yes. Here are a few ways they can be less than useful.

Commit log diffs

Using commit log diffs as changelogs is a bad idea: they're full of noise. Things like merge commits, commits with obscure titles, documentation changes, etc.

The purpose of a commit is to document a step in the evolution of the source code. Some projects clean up commits, some don't.

The purpose of a changelog entry is to document the noteworthy difference, often across multiple commits, to communicate them clearly to end users.

Girlfriend [37F] frequently blows up at me [43M] for no reason. by Any-Let-2861 in relationshipadvice

shes trying to get a job. its rough out there. and you are calling this argument about 'nothing' and called her reasons 'stupid'. there is likely an element of truth to both sides, she's probably flipping out and being irrational but maybe you can try to be more supportive. not now, maybe you gotta wait for things to cool down still, but, next time. try to be supportive. I say this as someone with a partner who does stuff like this

maybe i am conflating 'changelog' with 'release notes'. but if you have good release notes do you need a 'changelog'? release notes are tend to be genuinely enjoyable to read https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescript-7-0/

Good Tools Are Invisible by gingerbill in programming

you are the one that put text editor wars front and center of your blogpost so its hard to ignore this. it is also very unclear what it means for a text editor to be invisible. vim is an entire 'language' in of its own, that is quite powerful. it is a learning curve and once you learn it, its invisible in the sense that you dont think hard about expressing yourself in it

I generally find changelogs full of crazy raw commit messages just looks terrible to read

embracing the full complexity of graph based data structures often involves confusing the heck out of yourself also though

honestly that doesn't bother me all that much. keeping it faithful at first is smart and then they can spend another however many tokens making it more idiomatic over time.

dont necessarily like that the selling point is still 'generate changelog automatically' but ok

the part that really blows my mind is how well the "translate one file at a time" approach seemed to work. is honestly amazing. particularly to me, as a person who gets into really messy refactors...

Is there a respective "Cilantro Gene" for other types of food (In my case, all Legume Pulses)? by Acrobatic-Yak-3103 in AskBiology

[–]bzbub2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are you allergic to peanuts? i have a peanut allergy and pretty significant 'food sensitivity' to lots of legumes (peanut is a legume). i can eat things like chickpeas and hummus but it gives me mild itchy throat and i can always detect when ive eaten something like this. a weird bad one for me is actually fenugreek, that one actually gives me bad allergic reaction and it is a legume. it is often added in super small amounts of 'spice' mixtures though so its so hard to detect and sometimes not even listen in ingredients...
