  • Pre-merge code review should stop that kind of thing. I honestly haven't seen anything like this in years.

  • What are your favourite moments in videogames?

    Jump

  • Chrono Trigger. The Magus Fight. The music.

    FF6. Magitech Factory. Also music.

    Metal Gear Solid. Psycho Mantis. Late at night. Tired.

    Eternal Sonata. Last Fight. Intro line.

    Hades. Final boss. Extreme measures 4.

    NES Tetris. Crashing.

  • I heard somewhere that's what they were trying to say when they made at first. The episode just didn't work. DS9 redeemed them.

  • What is/was your distrohopping journey?

    Jump

  • Windows -> RedHat -> Windows -> Gentoo -> Ubuntu -> RHEL -> Ubuntu -> Debian -> Arch

  • Do you have any smell you like/dislike even though most people don't?

    Jump

  • I hate the smell of some ground coffee. Others smell good.

  • Five minutes of googling says some folks thing stone mason. Some copy and paste response says unskilled tradesman. Other response says translation is just "learned" so maybe they could read.

    I'd never heard of this before so seeing that there is disagreement is a fun new thing for me. Especially interesting to see this "learned" response.

    I spent a few minutes looking to see if a name I trust said any of this. Ultimately I don't have the background to evaluate it and lots of folks spend their lives about historical Jesus. I didn't see anything from anyone I recognized but, like I said, I don't know much about this area.

  • Damn no integrated advanced AI-driven solution that analyzes patterns and just predicts the errors? 🤨

  • Do folks still use logstash here? Filebeat and ES gets you pretty far. I've never been deep in ops land though.

  • Dumb question: how do I know if an open source project is trustworthy?

    Jump

  • The point of the license combination they use is to allow the enterprise version to be open and live in the same repo as everything else. Dunno if that's what they do, but that's why the elastic license exists.

  • Dumb question: how do I know if an open source project is trustworthy?

    Jump

  • The only surefire way is to read it all. And understand it all. That ain't happening though. So you decide how much to do.

    You should figure out how many people are landing patches and get a rough sense of why. Same for folks filing issues or talking about the project in general. Maybe you trust one of the contributors for some reason. Either way, you want to know how alive the project is.

    You could land a patch.

    You could spot check parts of the code.

    You could run vulnerability scanners on it.

    I dunno. It's hard.

  • Computer Scientists Invent an Efficient New Way to Count

  • It really is. It'd make a wonderful assignment in a second level programming class.

    We use hyperlloglog++ for this because it's mergable across nodes and threads. I haven't thought much about combining this one.

  • Public personal dev accounts: opinions?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure I'd attach any meaning to real names online. There's a whole group of us whose online names are just things they thought were neat when they were 12. And they've just stuck forever. There's lot of reasons.

    But otherwise, yeah. I'll spend ten minutes looking up someone's online profile. Mostly for GitHub if I can find it. If someone's commenting on public prs and seems nice that's a big signal.

  • How do you contribute to OSS?

    Jump

  • I agree. Light touch until you have a bunch of changes landed.

    I was a professional open source contributor for a while. Still have the same job, but the license changed. Culture still quite similar though.

  • Don't

    Jump

  • Amazing

  • Added Bugs to Keep my job

    Jump

  • We squash. I'm not really interesting in your local journey to land the change. It's sometimes useful during review, but after that it's mostly the state of the main branch I care about. It's what I need to bisect anyway.

    I don't like commits that are just references to issues. Copy the issue into the commit message so git blame tells you something useful. Unless it's just closing a simple big. Then the title and issue reference are plenty.

    Depends on the project I imagine.

  • Added Bugs to Keep my job

    Jump

  • I wonder what my last commit at each job was. I'll bet it was boring. About 10% of my commit messages are genuinely interesting.

  • isBooleanTooLongAndComplex

    Jump

  • I review a ton of code and have a bunch reviewed in turn. I don't remember that last time I've had this come up. Either direction really. I guess I'm lucky. We just split naturally in similar places.

  • isBooleanTooLongAndComplex

    Jump

  • I think it's a bad analogy because it'll distract some people.

  • How do people with aphantasia play chess?

    Jump

  • It just doesn't come up all that much. Folks live without knowing they are different.

    And it is on a spectrum. Some folks is nothing others are can force a few pictures if they have to but aren't clear. I dunno.

  • Don't require people to change 'source code' to configure your programs
