I agree that's the most cumbersome phrase. But I think the difficulty people are perceiving here is more in the grammar being difficult to parse rather than in the vocabulary being…

Some oil places just straight up tell you a lower number even when the owner's manual of the car says a higher one. I just go with what the manual says, rather than some random Jif…

"At my highest peak" is meaningless to apply to a running total. It must be some period of time. A year would be implied, given the context of the conversation.

This is what I was looking for: https://github.com/aeickhoff/compact Cool containers.

Can you explain something about "Special recursively-compact containers"? I couldn't find any search hits for the phrase.

Is there any real momentum for any kind of change at the US Federal level? Do politicians talk to you? What's the buzz?

There are 2 things I dispute here: 1. I didn't say this affects branch diffing, but rather trawling through history on a single branch. 2. "self-appointed super-users [...] [who br…

This is overly broad dissuasion. `rebase` should not be used if the branch is already shared and built upon by others, but is completely harmless to use on a feature branch. In fac…
