The effect in the data (unless it isn't random fluctuation. At the moment I'd go with the assumtion that it is a genuine correlation, as the effect is present over all subgroups), …

I can tell apart from whick village around my home village comes from just by hearing them say the word "eier" (eggs).

as a european, in canada and the US I was constantly confused by directions. america uses street names and cardinal directions (turn north on I-??? then west on ...). europeans thi…

I wonder how different / similar these romance languages are, compared to the reference frame I have: German dialects. German dialects can be mutually unintelligible, young germans…

line spacing of the gutenberg-latex-typeset version is terribly enlarged. It's a disease... Who can read that?

I started to write a toy compiler in OCaml. I had some previous experience with Haskell, but in no way an expert. I.e. no category theory background, only shallow exposure to monad…

Not if the merge commits just say `merged branch ....`.

But kind of it was also the tooling. Most svn projects I worked on were trunk-based and thus integrated much tighter than git feature-branch based code. However, the times I merged…

especially with very small commits, I find small commits to be tedious and error prone (sometimes the software doesn't even build because the developer distributed two not-so-indep…

indeed, if the commits are individually reviewable it is nicer. To the contrary however often these small commits can be a bit messy. Sometimes you'll find commits that are reverte…

neat

Changing public history is bad, because it makes collaboration and two devs working on one branch harder. But I do not see a problem with rewriting history on a branch, if (and onl…

excellent

I think you can do that in a merge commit, sort of. The more I think about it, the stranger a strong aversion to rewriting commit history for clarity is. In university if I did som…

My personal, subjective impression: Commits are getting smaller and smaller nowadays. As in: In the subversion days, many people commited only few times a day, sometimes not for se…

ah you are right, probably there is a blue right-turn only sign (I just thought about the Grünpfeil depicted in the illustration image).

Funnily enough, there is precedent, that a red light can be ignored if it doesn't change for 5 minutes. And I really doubt that there isn't a way to regulate the crossing without a…

I'd like to add, that with IKEA you know what you can expect in terms of quality, sturdiness and usability. You know it's not the best, but you also know that it'll survive a few y…

Does it support virtual environments that are within a vagrant machine? That is a use case that I hardly find integrated in IDE's (other than pycharm) and so I usually quickly go b…

Uh, I think every TDD "expert" makes it pretty clear, that there are cases where tests-first might not be the best option.

interesting, reading your comment, I would never guess that we are speaking about the same book. I found it to be more of a guidebook to precise communication with colleagues and m…
