For the most part I agree with you: there is less functionality and hence less to police. There are also fewer people in chats/channels, as for the most part they are private or undiscoverable.

There are definitely still breaches of etiquette though, e.g. people frequently tagging a whole channel when they have a support question, even though it contains hundreds of people.

Again, this just isn't true. Where are you getting your information from?

Feeding the world is technically easy, there is more than enough space for growing crops. The only reason that it's not done is the desire to eat meat and the lack of any real will to do it.

What would make it interesting? Most of the animal mass on earth is livestock for human consumption. More animals are reared to replace the ones that are slaughtered.

It might be interesting for wild fish, but I'm not sure if there are accurate numbers for the wild populations remaining.

Is it really beneficial to use a deck created by someone else? I thought part of the learning process is really engaging with the cards - by writing them, thinking about them, and making mental associations with things you already know.

I'm a big fan of rebasing to keep the commit history clean and as a form of self-discipline when coding to make sure I'm grouping the changes atomically.

I will try to give Jujutsu a go based on your recommendation!

Awww that's not fair.

C# actually has fairly good null-checking now. Older projects would have to migrate some code to take advantage of it, but new projects are pretty much using it by default.

I'm not sure what the situation is with Unity though - aren't they usually a few versions behind the latest?

I use it in my project to document the schema. We keep the markdown file in source control so that we update it whenever we make database changes. We also have an extension that allows viewing it as the diagram in vscode in our .vscode\extensions.json file.

There are some disadvantages however:

1. The foreign key relationships aren't completely clear

2. The diagram became difficult to navigate in vscode as our schema grew in size

Do you believe it's fake? There are many kits on the market to turn old bicycles into e-bikes.

As to the USB charging - that's an outlet for charging things like mobile devices, not for charging the battery on the bike.

Using an in-memory database does not increase my confidence that in my software either. I also started using dockerised dependencies in tests a couple of years ago.

Can you please explain what you did with a RAM disk to speed them up?

I'd like to add that at a previous company a 3 month notice period was forced on me after a merger with a different company meant us signing new contracts to bring us in line with the generally worse conditions offered to employees of the other company.

Although I had a very good relationship with the company and line managers they initially refused my offer to compromise to let me go after 2 months (purely because they wanted an extra month of work out of me). It was only after I made it clear how disinterested I was in working the extra month that we all agreed it was for the best to let me go early. This left a very sour taste in my mouth.

They're referring to developers updating application servers, meaning the client software is no longer able to operate correctly. If your client software doesn't require internet access for example it's probably fine. For all the other apps it's a problem.

This is great advice. I’ve also been struggling with “letting go” when things don’t go my way. People need to find a way to be at peace, whilst simultaneously striving for improvement.
