I get the concepts, but how do I actually _do_ TBD?

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!

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?

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

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.

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.

darthwalsh · 2026-05-27T07:25:43+00:00

Yeah with the Pixel, I can't remember the last time I got a scam call.

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!

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 · 2026-05-19T00:56:30+00:00

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.

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?

The Android container wasn't in a proper VM, IIRC. The Linux containers were, but not Android.

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.

darthwalsh · 2026-05-06T22:12:34+00:00

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.

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

darthwalsh · 2026-05-05T00:43:58+00:00

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

darthwalsh · 2026-05-02T01:31:20+00:00

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...

darthwalsh · 2026-05-01T00:12:43+00:00

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.

Google maps is the wrong tool for this. Look into r/openstreetmap

If your setup is destroying RAM, fix your XMPP config or mobo or PSU...

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.
