Amazing! The funniest stuff it came up with for me were Pengwoman, Sushi Bird, Jezus (Jesus + Zeus).

I am considering doing that. I also considered replacing the wireless card though I was unable to find reliable information if the BIOS has some kind of whitelist that would prevent me from doing that.

Not a high end device (Dell Vostro 15 3515), but it comes with preinstalled Ubuntu as well. It has some serious problems with wireless (10ec:c821). The default driver frequently loses connection on some wifi networks (it has issue with many networks though surprisingly not all of them). Sometimes reloading the driver helps, sometimes it just hangs my system. https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88 seems to work a bit better though still has the same problem sometimes. It turns out that rfkill block wlan && sleep 3 && rfkill unblock wlan works better than reloading the driver. At least this way I haven't hanged my system yet. And wifi does not seem to be able to work at the same time as bluetooth.

Otherwise a fine device.

That's some really bad wording indeed. But it may vary from one source to another. The more intriguing point of your comment is about assumptions. Can you provide a relevant example?

Does stgit help with the following scenario:

1. I want some changes in my repo to be persistent whenever I switch to a new branch, pull, or merge a remote.

2. They should not be shown in git status.

3. They should not be pushed.

From skimming the front page I haven't found whether something like this is supported.

I see that with stgit I can `stg pop` my "persistent changes" before pushing to the remote and then apply it again with `stg push` but that requires that I use stg commands to create patches instead of `git commit`.

Is there any option to have this "private commits" feature in git? I just realized it's exactly what I wanted so many times. I've tried the assume-unchanged hack but it's too brittle.

Is there a possibility there will be introduced a new rule saying "if the compiler detects an UB it should abort the compilation instead of breaking the code in the most incomprehensible way possible"?

Right now it's just scary to start a new project in C. It would be really great if there was more emphasis on correctness of the produced code instead of the insane optimizations.

Some highlights:

1. Suburbia is very distinct from European-style cities. It is monotonous, very sparse and requires a car to live there. Most of the people in the US live there!

2. The life there is very lonely for someone accustomed to less individualistic societies. And for Americans as well, so they heavily medicate their mental problems which would probably just not show up in more close-knit societies.

3. The legal system is obsessed with letter of the law and disregards its spirit. For-profit prisons lead to the highest incarceration rate in the world. Plea bargaining practice also contributes to codifying unreasonably harsh punishments. It can be traced back to the Bill of Rights that sets basic procedures and not basic principles.

4. Compared to Western Europe, the taxes are on average somewhat lower but the services provided by the state are much worse.

5. Healthcare is costlier than either a truly free market would provide or a socialized system.

6. The war on drugs is fought brutally from all sides, and you are very likely to suffer some damage from it.

7. It is a good place for you if you are young and entrepreneurial. It can provide you with great opportunities but it's hard to lead a stable and calm life there.

I am looking for various opportunities that have some of the following: work on FOSS projects; aerospace; scientific research; machine learning. The more the better but none of these is a hard requirement.

And maybe some unique id in form (application id, error id) like VS compilers do. This will make process of rewording error message less painful for users trying to google it and developers hesitating whether to improve bad wording that is known to confuse users.
