    I think you’re the first person in this comment section to mention this. Git has a structure for machine-readable structured data. Put it there, not in free text fields for humans.…

    Trivially substitutable goods, at a much lower price, with a now-reduced ethical difference. Not hard to see why.

    Annoyingly, npm audit relies on github's advisory DB, which is currently incorrectly flagging all versions of these packages, not just the compromised ones. https://github.com/gith…

    Reminds me of Chariot from back in the day. That was nice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chariot_(company)

    restore and maybe switch are the two missing ones I think. Rebase for me, but that’s preference. Cherry-pick too.

    There’s also a strong culture of ownership of quality for individual developers. Design documents are expected for even minor changes, and each change goes through at least 2 round…

    The state of MUMPS has progressed a lot since this article was written, to the point where most MUMPS developers would probably only vaguely recognize this. Even the "MUMPS" they w…

    It's sunny for a lot of the year. Ex. you can get an extra harvest of alfalfa per year compared to other climates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owieQnPYfT8

    Shortening the regular season is the answer. Too many games, too many teams in the playoffs, means that no game has any impact vs an NFL game.

    Re: longevity, ITP didn't find any significant impact from metformin. Afaik they're the most rigorous testers of this sort of thing, so that's pretty significant to me. https://pub…

    What qualifies as an extreme sport? Does skiing count? Football? Soccer? Does moderate alcohol factor in? Being obese? What’s your line where a personal choice that has some risk d…

    Tbh I really don't like this. Git already has an established format for machine-readable metadata, trailers. There's even a built-in command for working with them, git interpret-tr…

    They're running discounts lately, my dr's office had $200 off for anyone that wanted it and they have regular sales every couple of months it seems.

    I spent an honestly embarrassing amount of time at the first show I went to trying to figure out how they'd managed it.

    Please. It's insane that people are dying from fentanyl overdoses taking molly, absolutely not the right societal trade off to be making any more.

    Sports subreddits are a notable exception imo. While they might get a bit silly, r/cfb, r/nba, etc. are so much better than Twitter or any other public forum that losing them would…
