My Git Knowledge
  • Do you not use a fork as your origin, separate from the production upstream repo? I’ll push to my fork’s main branch for small or urgent changes that will definitely be merged before anything else I’m working on.

  • Can confirm, it does feel good
  • Highlight of my week.

  • What are the craziest misconceptions you’ve heard about programming from people not familiar with it?
  • Someone else already named some tools, so I won’t repeat. But the reason this works is that even once you clear out those trash files, the OS usually only removes the pointer to where the data lives on the disk, and the disk space itself isn’t overwritten until it’s needed to save another file. This is why these tools have a much higher chance of success sooner after file deletion.

    What is your weirdest comfort food or habit?
  • I used to make these all the time as a kid too!

  • Filthy Casual Rule
  • depends, does it help if you group with someone who’s in iron?

  • Cat language rule
  • Wonderful, thank you!

  • Cat language rule
  • Do you know what it’s called and where I can get one for my cat?

  • What are your favourite things under 50$ that make your life a bit easier or more pleasant?
  • Yes, I love my aeropress!! With enough dialing in I can usually make a better cup of coffee with a pourover setup that better expresses the differences of specific beans. But the aeropress makes a darn good cup of coffee every time without going through all that hassle. I use mine almost daily.

  • iOS 17.1 and Apple WatchOS 10.1 Double Tap Option
  • Yep, that’s exactly it. I’ve used DoubleTap a bit and it picks up my taps very reliably, but it’s of course much more limited in what it can control. Tbh my main use case is for stopping timers while I have my hands busy cooking, and it works brilliantly for that.

    I’m also curious whether AssistiveTouch uses the onboard ML now. It would make a lot of sense since Siri does, but I haven’t seen anything saying one way or the other and haven’t compared the performance between models.

  • iOS 17.1 and Apple WatchOS 10.1 Double Tap Option
  • Double Tap specifically leverages the new models’ on-device ML processing capabilities, which requires the new chip. I haven’t tried it myself, but I’ve also read that Assistive Touch is both less consistent/accurate and burns through more battery.

  • Usually connect to Walmart's WiFi but they changed their policy I guess, won't be doing that now...
  • Melons and squashes (inc. pumpkins).

    I believe the idea is to allow you to roughly evaluate the density of the produce, to avoid e.g. mushy grainy watermelon or weird squashes that don’t have their expected hollowness.

  • Can you melt eggs? Quora’s AI says “yes,” and Google is sharing the result
  • I do sometimes “provide feedback” on terrible featured snippets, but goddamn does it feel like shouting into a void.

  • What's Your Favorite, Not at All Epic, Star Trek Quote
  • The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done.

    Love that bit, I get caught up in the passion of Picard’s delivery every time.

  • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x09 "Subspace Rhapsody"
  • Late to the watch party, but I agree with this.

    My reading was that Boimler’s slip-up and the knowledge that she wouldn’t be a significant part of Spock’s life (at least viewed from a historical perspective) was what caused Chapel to pull away from Spock, and end up sabotaging the relationship. But tragically - time-travel shenanigans and all that - who’s to say whether or not that’s the way things were always going to happen?

    The opportunity the fellowship provides allows her to envision a positive, worthwhile future for herself, where she is free from the boundaries she’d previously imagined, and can let go of her disappointment that the path she yearned to travel with Spock was one she wasn’t destined for.

  • What is a mildly funny way to answer the phone?
  • My entire family “Yello”s!

    I answer my phone with it all the time and nobody’s ever commented.

  • What's the best Korean drama you've ever watched and why?
  • Cool, thanks for the rec! I love when series do a good job of bringing multiple story threads together in a satisfying way.

  • What's the best Korean drama you've ever watched and why?
  • Sci-fi is a genre of K-drama I’ve never engaged with, but your description of “Sisyphus” has me intrigued! I’ll have to check it out next time I’m on Netflix.

  • What password manager do you recommend?
  • Writing this down for later, thanks!

  • What password manager do you recommend?
  • How is the OSX and iOS support for Keepass nowadays? Are there desktop and browser clients for OSX, and what’s the autofill situation like?

    Keepass was the first password manager I used and I really liked it, but I had to switch when I started using Apple devices for work a few years back, and the lack of platform support there was a nonstarter.
