Why?
Why?
His actual goal is in the final sentence of the article and has nothing to do with moral intent.
He had an interview with Google and they asked him to invert a binary tree, which is essentially taking a tree of data and swapping the positions of all sibling nodes.
While most people agreed it was a pretty pointless question to ask at an interview, mxcl had a full “don’t you know who I am” shit fit on social media.
If anyone hasn’t made the connection, mxcl is the infamous Google interview binary tree guy
Great summary, but I want to point out that the reality of why they’re doing this is to pander to racist voters who were told their opinion by a highly effective villification campaign against this woman in tabloid newspapers.
Once these things gain traction, politicians always kowtow to the loudest public opinions
FWIW, those PEI sheets usually need higher bed temp than the regular sheets
nothing purrsonal kit
I hope he takes this firing as a window of opportunity. With the right attitude he can really ground himself.
Woah, where does the US have preclearance? I thought it was nonexistent
I googled “how to migrate from esxi to proxmox” last week. I must be psychic.
It depends on your intent. If you’re doing it to keep history clean and linear in the long term, it’s a huge waste of time as it gets splatted into a single squashed merge commit. It also makes it difficult for reviewers to rereview your changes as GitHub/Lab can’t calculate the diff because you keep moving the goalposts with force pushes.
If you’re doing it for cleanliness on your local branch then I guess that’s fine, but I find it anti-social in a multi participant repo.
I tried to refuse pay for on call recently as it has tax implications that I didn’t want to do deal with, but my employer refused.
So, yeah, take it up with them you bunch of bankers.
Agreed. I’ve been trying to explain to someone recently why rebasing and force pushing their feature branch has no benefit when we use a squash commit strategy for merging to main.
Again, tools are not blame, but when combined with a lack of understanding and accumulated “git dogma”, it can be quite disheartening.
Same. I mostly use sourcetree to do quick self-reviews and to discard lines or hunks before a commit.
But I’ve also grown very weary of having to dig people out of git messes they’ve made with sourcetree and the likes.
Visual clients aren’t to blame for that, but they contribute. So many times I’ve asked “and what git commands did that run?” only to receive a dumb stare as a reply.
I think it’s exactly that. They are targeted at bootstrapping projects and prototyping and are, frankly, very good at that job.
Not sure on your use case, but I’ve been using Hetzner for a while and it does what it says on the tin.
That sounds hard and discord already has my retinal scans
I just wanna chat over the internet using some sort of relay. If only there were a solution.
Replying again to say: that actually makes sense. You should have said that upfront! Suddenly being locked out of critical software is definitely a risk worth considering
