Way to miss the point.

You would weep at the coat the library pays to provide that service. It certainly isn’t cheap. Free…so long as you ignore your taxes.

At the same time.

Makes me think of how people will write about the ‘dinning room’ :(

Docent makes me think of guides at museums. When I was in uni (well, I called it “college”, being from the US), the usual title was “professor”. But if you’d asked who my teacher was for a particular class, I’d have known what you meant.

Yeah. It’s hard to say with such scant information in the article.

Eh, you never know. Could have easily been an abusive home life where this disappearance was her escape. Could also have been a “ran away with an older boyfriend” thing, and they ended up breaking up this summer.

I stopped reading at “the Internet got going in 1995”. FFS, even the web dates back to 1991!

And a very happy Christmas to you too, kind stranger!

That’s a great idea if it’s possible, but I want to say it wouldn’t have helped with our environment at the time.

I almost wish I could look back at that repo and share the yaml file here, maybe I was missing something back then. I’m certainly more proficient with yaml now.

I do recall wishing there was a way to simulate the execution locally. I think I remember hearing about a local runner, but it had too many caveats to help.

We use Azure Devops at my current gig. It works pretty well for our setup. I’ve used GHA before; it definitely didn’t “spark joy”. I wastedspent way too many hours in the “update yaml file, commit, push, wait 5 minutes for it to fail again” spiral of despairfeedback loop.

Nice thing with ADO is its release dashboard – you get a really nice summary of recent builds and where they went:

$project - dev - test - prod

I didn’t see anything similar for GHA.

Are you a programmer?

Hudson? Man, that’s a blast from the past.

Yeah, it’s fairly clever but not actually magical. Sometimes you have to go in and take a look.

Actually, the real magic is that it works out mostly ok most of the time. Much better than older systems where you would have to “check out” a file to work on it which would lock others out. I’ve heard older programmers talk about needing to go find someone who had a file checked out and have them check it back in to enable them to do some work.

Roughly equal parts “git is clever” and “once in a while, someone has to take some time to figure it out”.

Say the code is split into two files. You and I both make changes, but you’re working on file A and I’m in file B. No problem!

Now we both make changes in file A. Sometimes Git can just “figure it out”, like if all your changes are in the beginning of the file, and all my changes are at the end.

But sometimes we both change the same section. Git can’t figure that part out, so one of us has to sit down and reconcile the changes. Sometimes this is pretty simple, other times…not so much.

Put it all together, and it works out pretty well most of the time.

Have you looked into a dental appliance? I used to use one of those, it would shift my lower jaw forward to help me breathe.

It’s not perfect, but if CPAP doesn’t work for you, it might be an option. Maybe something to talk about with your sleep doc

Are you interested in setec astronomy?

I use podman at work, mostly just a Docker replacement. My biggest problem with it is typing “pdoman” in commands by mistake.

What do you get when you cross Family guy with BTTF?

A lie spreads worldwide before the truth contradicting it can be typed, unfortunately.
