Some password managers like 1Password can do the two-factor stuff for you, so you don't have to pull out your phone. On the fully supported pages it'll just autofill your username, main password, and one-time password.

Those of you who use ROS in production, do y'all use ROS 1 or 2? Do you maintain your own fork? I'm curious how people do this, with the upcoming Noetic deprecation.

Home: A 13-inch Asus Zenbook from 2014 (UX32LN) now running Ubuntu (MATE) 22.04. It's still good!

Work: A recent 13-inch Dell XPS that shipped with Ubuntu 22.04. It's also great, but the function key row has been replaced with touch buttons which is not good at all (including the escape and delete keys).

Work, previously: A 13-inch Dell Latitude from 2017. I originally ran 16.04 on it, then 18.04 until the above replaced it. Worked very well. Had every port you can wish for, including ethernet. Eventually the battery swelled and the keyboard stopped working.

And like in all things, there is probably a better middle ground. Don't commit forever to a horrible partner, but also don't look for the "perfect person" with whom there will be no difficulties. Neither is good. Look for the "good enough" partner and really try to make it work.

Not at all. I'm looking for something that shows incident frequency over time, without scrolling through a bunch of pages.

Isn't this only relevant for fixed gear bikes, where you can skid the rear wheel to brake, and you want maximize the number of possible "skid patches", or orientations of the rear wheel while the pedals are in a fixed position?

I agree, `mktemp` is very useful. I recently worked on a script that would check if you had a repo locally, if so update it, and otherwise clone it for you. `mktemp` made it a lot simpler, as I could just always clone it and be sure that I would have a freshly cloned state.

I dunno, I've submitted four bugs. One solved within a day, one after 20 days, and two still unresolved as far as I know. It could of course be better, I don't think it's quite like you describe.

I've used

  #!/bin/sh
  python3 -c "from math import *; print($1)"
as my calculator for some time now, and it's quite useful. I need to invoke it with quotes though:
  calc '100/34.2'

For instance != is just a way to write something that looks similar to ≠. With ligatures, you can actually see the symbol you're representing, and not an approximation. I suppose that is the appeal. And it looks neat.

I tried this out now, and it seems really useful, both at work and outside work.

Feature request: There are some sites I consider as generally unwanted distractions always, and some that I consider as unwanted distractions only when I'm at work. How about differentiating between work/home modes, or allowing for profiles, or something similar?

The difference is whether the author of the pull request considers his code not ready for review or not. Both are work in progress but they need different treatment.

This is good. We have been emulating this with either a "don't review yet" tag or by opening a pull request without setting reviewers, but it's clearly better to have support for it built in. More people will use it, and I don't have to train people in our particular way of indicating not-ready pull requests.

One thing this project does really well is to start the readme with a screenshot. I open the link, scroll down to the readme, and I immediately see what sort of user interface/experience I will get. Some commenters have noted that Gita is similar to other multi-repo tools, but both Repo and wstool are more effort to evaluate, because their readmes don't have pictures.

True enough, but the more magic your carpet is, the more likely you are to get flats.

I really like the website design. I can just skim over the Qs on the left and read the As I'm interested in on the right. Somehow it feels better than having everything in one column.
