After using git for over 15 years, I still find useful things to learn about it (git log -S).

Thanks!

Context?

@foone
Aaaaahh, that explains everything ๐Ÿ˜

@foone
Don't understand this part. Why is this not an option?

(Yes, I saw you have a solution, but you can't nerdsnipe people like that and then leave them hanging ๐Ÿ˜‰)

@foone
m68k assembly is kinda neat too, actually (and not *as* old as 6502)

Celebrate or suffer?

No DST changes in South Africa, and I couldn't be happier ๐Ÿ˜‰

@zhenech
mpg at least makes sense to some people who use it all the time.

Nobody ever uses minutes per kilometer though.

Reasons why I don't like proprietary software, number 26364737: Strava gives you your speed in time per kilometer (which means absolutely nothing to me) rather than the actual, sensible, SI standard of kilometer per hour (which does mean something to me), and I can't file a bug report and I can't send a patch.

Tomorrow marks the 10th anniversary of the Debian code of conduct, of which I was the primary author.

10 years of a code of conduct has, I think, resulted in a healthier Debian community, and so I am proud to have been part of the process that made Debian into what it is today.

Even so, most of the credit of that improvement should go to the community and DAM teams, who do most of the mediation and enforcement of the coc.

Here's to hoping the next 10 years will be even better.

'iRefers' sounds like something you'll find in apple API reference docs...

You can tell Google 'trust me, I know what I'm doing, so just turn that autocorrect feature off' by putting the word in double quotes.

Also, some other search engines don't do that quite as often. I'm personally much happier with duckduckgo in that regard.

@foone
Ah yes, good old days of the 2G partition limitation. It took quite a while before you could create partitions beyond 2G, and the workarounds were horrid...

Days since I've been bitten by an off-by-one bug: -1

Eh, sorry. I may disagree, but I'm not saying you're wrong? I was just offering another opinion. No need to get upset ๐Ÿ™‚

@MsHearthWitch
No I'm not. I'm fully prepared for the fact that the dog may see something on the other side of the street, and will grab them by the collar if they show the smallest indication of paying attention to anything that isn't me.

Like I said, I only do this in a pinch, when the dog is too large to carry around and there is no leash nearby, or for training.

People who just let them roam are assholes. But I don't do that.

@mirabilos
Since I moved to cape town, no more DST switching for me, and I couldn't be happier!

@MsHearthWitch
I've walked a dog in a public area while I didn't have a leash. I'm *extremely* strict with them when I do that; the dog walks by my side and gets yelled at when they move even a centimeter from the prescribed spot.

I only do that as a training exercise, or in a pinch when I don't have a leash nearby and we need to go somewhere. The dog doesn't like it (obviously). But people who just let the dog roam free? Yup, assholes.
