How do you separate the good from the bad? What do you do when Microsoft changes the good things into bad things?

My take is that Microsoft consistently makes bad things and makes "good" things into "bad" things; so, I don't have much expectation or faith that anything that I currently think is "good" will stay that way.

Onirim is good but the phone app is better since there’s so much shuffling. Cursed?! is one of my favorites. Galdors Grip is really cool in that you can play it in hand, you don’t need a table, so you can play it anywhere.

Oh Shit, Git? 2 years ago

Since you brought it up, I personally switched to jujutsu and prefer it greatly. I regularly help coworkers deal with issues in git and keep dropping hints like `in jujutsu this would've been done way easier like this!`. Nobody bites yet since I think most of them don't want to use the CLI but maybe someday if enough people keep talking about it the inertia will get to the point that we can get some really slick GUIs for jj.

If a player just delivers a nasty dunk and then even so much as looks at the guy they just dunked on, that’s a foul.

On the other hand we get players like Draymond Green getting away with yelling at refs and trying to injure other players like nothing happened.

Basketball is also the problem, refereeing specifically. Refs are humans and make mistakes but it’s hard to watch and not feel like there’s blatant favoritism to star players or certain teams.

There are the L2M reports that detail all the mistakes they make in the end of the game and way too often they’re game altering.

Then there’s the inconsistent approach to the rules. They’ll suddenly decide they want to push a rule, call every tiny infraction on it, then 10 games later it’s like the refs collectively forgot the rule exists at all.

It all makes for an extremely frustrating experience for the players and the fans.

IME hard disagree. Projects with any longevity and/or turnover will have code that doesn’t seem to make sense but was put there for a reason. Commit messages are key to giving the context because even though there might be descriptions people will put the relevant slack messages and jira tickets in the pr or commit.

At this point I almost weekly have to review the full context on a pr to make sure my fix won’t break some historical use case that isn’t immediately obvious.

I’d hate having 30 edits to a ticket description polluting my git log.

Couldn’t you just reference a recent doc and say this is mostly the same with these x differences leading to y alterations for z reasons?

Since you’re ok with diy have you looked at boards you can add a pimoroni trackball to? I haven’t used it personally but have seen a few of them.

Yeah going thru the process of 5-7 interviews just to get lowballed or ghosted is pretty draining. I’m guessing it’s just a tough market and I’m getting edged out by other candidates or companies have so many applicants they can offer less than I asked for during screening.

I don’t have as much experience with aws but I do hate gcp. The ui is slow and buggy. The way they want things to authenticate is half baked and only implemented in some libraries and it isn’t always clear what library supports it. The gcloud command line tool regularly just doesn’t work; it just hangs and never times out forcing you to kill it manually wondering if it did anything and you’ll mess something up running it again. The way they update client libraries by running code generation means there’s tons of commits that aren’t relevant to the library you’re actually using. Features are not available across all client libraries. Documentation contradicts itself or contradicts support recommendations. Core services like bigquery lack any emulator or Docker image to facilitate CI or testing without having to setup a separate project you have to pay for.
