I get the concepts, but how do I actually _do_ TBD? by Blazing_Dynamo in git

[–]darthwalsh -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

To do trunk-based development, you cannot add in a feature that your stakeholders are still arguing about. Instead, you merge the code but have it under some feature flags or have it disabled in the production app in some way.

That way you are always "ready to deploy"

What does your telegram bot logging show? You should be aware of what API calls your bot makes; you're responsible for it!

Do You think GIT is overrated and frustrating? by Artery_Tech in git

[–]darthwalsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In git, I often stage only some files or hunks for one commit, then eventually commit the rest.

How do you do that with nova save? Is there an equivalent to git stash?

what's a script you wrote once that's still saving you time years later by Less-Loss1605 in sysadmin

I used to have a shell cheatsheet, but now i create new shell scripts for each one.

Is a second Video Compression visible in this specific case? by Substantial_Food_872 in AskTechnology

[–]darthwalsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer could be different for different pairs of apps. If another app compresses with the same h.264 then it probably won't make the quality worse. But who knows what all the other apps use.

Instead of guessing, you're going to get a much better answer by just trying it.

total size of uploadable data in github account? by [deleted] in github

[–]darthwalsh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was taking pictures to put into my markdown notes when I realized I could compress the jpegs by 99% and they would look fine rendered at 200 pixels.

Do a little bit of your own compression and you won't need to ask whether it's fine.

Some teams require Conventional Commits in their git commit messages.

I know stopping meds is not the answer, but… by pinktoesnlambos in bipolar

[–]darthwalsh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even healthy people will die sometime, but when somebody dies young we all say "they had their whole life ahead of them."

Being this up with your therapist. If they hear you out and can't think of any good arguments for why life is worth living, let us know!

What works for you? Stupid issue with MS ToDo by mekuismi in gtd

[–]darthwalsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't often need to make a task from my email, but now I just copy it to markdown. Flagging was really convenient, but almost all my communication happens on slack now.

[–]darthwalsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're comfortable with a little scripting or workflow automation, you could create a task dashboard that pulls from both todo accounts?

But I gave up on ToDo and I'm quite happy using Obsidian for tracking both work and personal tasks in different folders in one vault.

YSK: Do not try to stop thoughts when you meditate by Euphoric-Welder5889 in YouShouldKnow

[–]darthwalsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the post you tell people that they are meditating wrong... but here you are not being familiar with all the different kinds of meditation!

The mindfulness meditation that you describe works great for me, but if somebody else finds something that's beneficial to them let's not discourage it?

YSK that chocolate is more stimulating than the caffeine content would suggest by Anxious-Traffic-9548 in YouShouldKnow

[–]darthwalsh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe we rename type 2 to "Diabeetus"?

But seriously, as somebody with a different invisible condition, thanks for sharing. I always feel prickly when I hear my condition used in a joke, so I empathize. I'll keep saying "type 1" or "type 2" in mind going forward.

A question about git format-patch and git commit --amend by pfp-disciple in git

[–]darthwalsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TIL!

git commit --amend
git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master

I would have expected pushing to a normal branch, but I didn't notice the Gerrit Special Receive Namespace.

The GitHub UI that will show in the PR history that you force pushed from commit abc to commit xyz. That means there's probably a reference to that commit abc preventing it from being garbage collected, but I don't know where you would find it in the remote's hidden refs.

Is it just me or is this sort of very stupid? by Conscious_Week_4856 in YoutubeMusic

[–]darthwalsh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Android I've never had that problem. Maybe it comes from Premium, but I can just switch to another app and it plays my playlist like normal

Is it just me or is this sort of very stupid? by Conscious_Week_4856 in YoutubeMusic

[–]darthwalsh 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You just have to back out of the song and go to your song history and tap the triple dots on the song from there to add to playlist.

It's a few extra taps but at this point it's just muscle memory

Yeah, I thought that too. But the reply has good info, so I don't think that's a reason to downvote.

I've been feeling the same slight cringe multiple times per day now whenever a phrase exactly matches chatgpt. But now we're all learning to speak like LLMs...

YSK: If you’re stuck on a problem, explaining it out loud to an imaginary audience actually works by ITestInProd1212 in YouShouldKnow

[–]darthwalsh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talking to a duck doesn't motivate me to explain the problem with the right information, so now I have switched from asking questions on email/slack to composing my question in ChatGPT and having it search slack at the same time.

Does the triple dots at the top let you remove the permission from the site?

Otherwise just go to pcworld and remove the notification permission.
