Interesting. When the studios were able to make deals with Runway and other video generators, I didn’t see them making a fuss like this. At least after getting the deal. They are sure ByteDance is not going to make any deal with them. So it is copyright infringement. There were clear repirts showing Runway used movies to train their model without any permission. I guess, if ByteDance makes a deal with the stufios and and the union then they will simply ignore it?

That is Victoria Fischer. This part of the video is fun,

Cut out the bottom of a plastic container, glue it to the floor, but around the screws, fill it with cheap oil and go on with your day.

I have no clue what was going on in the head of the people came up with this. Did they got dragged back to early 2010s where gamification was still a thing?

Main issue I have with the 80-20 rule is this. That 20% is almost always the people with disabilities. My answer to people who sometimes claim the product we are building does not need much accessibility features, because <insert stupid reason>, is “then you should find a differenr job”.

Key point is disability does not just mean people without a limb, or people without good eye sight. There are a lot of people with disabilities that are not easily visible as in the case of OP. It can be trembling hands, motion sickness, learning disabilities like dyslexia, ADHD, migrain, and the list goes on. If diversity disturbs one person, they almost always have very high privileges.

I guess we will never know whether they meant it as a sarcasm or it actual lunacy.

Please tell this is fake. I want to be ignorant about this.

This reminds me that my Downloads folder is like the attic. I don’t fear ls -a in ~, but I fear what I will find if I wander into Downloads unprepared.

The problem is not when I have to rebase. I know how to handle it. But with juniors they approach us only when things are in a really bad situation, where they cluelessly applied some commands they found on internet or from an LLM. Then it is very annoying to sit down and untangle the mess they created.

And regarding the pushing without fetching, it is usually a different branch. So they won’t incorporate the new changes in the main branch into their working branch, but just push their work into a branch. Again not a big deal. Just annoying.

That is a very weird setup. I have no clue why that flow is needed in the first place. Branches should be something disposable easily. What was the logic behind the setup? Any idea?

See all this is fine for someone with good experience in git. They know how to solve the screw up. But wih junior devs, who don’t know much about it, they will just get confused and stuck. And one of the senior has to involve and help them solve. This is just annoying because these can be avoided very easily. Until they understand the pattern of how everyone operates with git, it just creates issues.

To me first time causing this issue is completely fine. I will personally sit with them and explain then what went wrong and how to recover. Most of them will repeat it again, act clueless and talk like they are seeing this for the first time in their life. That is the difficult part to me.

May be I’m just old school, and a grumpy old person, even though I’m not that aged.

So this workflow is needed if you are working on a public, i.e. multiple devs collaborating on a single branch, scenario. But it is much better to avoid this as much as possible. Usually it is a ‘scoping’ issue, where you create a branch that is too broad. For example ‘api-for-frontend’, which is a massive thing.

But let us say you absolutely have to get multiple devs on same branch, then this workflow is totally fine. There is nothing wrong in it.

In our org we prefer to delete the branch after merge. In a way it says ‘this branch is closed’. This is to encourage devs to define smaller and more logically scoped branches.

I want to take this opportunity to say that, branch is just a label on a commit, with some additional functions. Once you start focus on commits and lineage of the commits, then branches become some what irrelevant.

Yeah.But many of them are extremely annoying. Specifically screwing up rebase. It is recoverable, but very annoying.

That said I have seen juniors make two other common mistakes.

1. Pushing your commit without fetching
2. Continuing on a branch even after it was merged.

I’m fed up with these two. Yesterday I had to cherry-pick to solve a combination of these two.

That is a much difficult question than I initially thought. I think it is the high saturated slightly dark orange. Mainly because I do some design works, and it is bloody difficult to find a matching color. So far I found only white or black.

Disclaimer: I hate this guy and all the stupid things he did in the past.

I don’t understand the issue here. Assuming what he is telling regarding the safety features are true, this is not more dangerous than a stunt scene in a movie. If they had hired someone who is not a professional stunt man, I would classify this as ‘dangerous’. But I can’t really see the issue of shooting a ‘stunt scene’ with professionals, just like any action movie will do.

That said, I think this is just manufactured outrage, which will create more views for that video. Probably thile response to the video was underwhelming, and they wanted to drive up the views to ensure revenue.

Isn’t Ladybird adopting Swift as their preferred language? I’m slightly confused on why Ladybird over Servo. But I am sure people at Cloudflare have more knowledge than me. So I guess there is a good reason.

I don’t understand what is the use of gluetun here. Are you trying to, say all the traffic from a laptop,to be routed through your server in your home, while you are away? If yes, can you elaborate why this is needed? Else can you give a better explanation on the setup you are trying to achieve and the results you want?

Hosting site in your local machine is tricky. It depends on how your ISP configured your network and most of the time you will be under CGNAT. Which means you will not have a unique public IP, but a shared one. Similarly your IP will be dynamic which will need additional configurations. Nowadays it is very difficult to host a site on local machine directly.

Edit: Checkout if your ISP provide unique IPv6 for your machine. This will not have issues of CGNAT, but you will have to setup DynamicDNS (DDNS) to accomate the changes in IP.

Edit: If there is CGNAT and you don’t have IPv6, then you need ‘NAT Hole Punching’. Usually services like Tailscale, ZeroTier, Amnezia, Innernet, v2ray, etc. are needed for that.

One thing you can try is Tailscale Funnel. Fair warning, bending your head around functioning of Tailscale is not trivial, and you will have to spend some time to properly understand and set it up.

If you prefer a simpler route, free hosting of a static site is your best bet.

Netlify is the go to solution if you are familiar with Git. I used to have my portfolio up there. Another option is, as you mentioned, Github Pages.

Vercel is the another common one people use. But it might be a little more tricky to get it working, because it focus on front end framework like Next.js.

Checkout Cloudflare Pages too. Very much similar to GitHub Pages, but with the performance and reliability of Cloudflare.

Heroku is another thing people used in the past. I think the free tier got limited nowadays.

Good luck with your adventures.

I wonder why they took the effort to adjust the time and commit. Just mention the date in README.md and move on.

You know hackers in the movies are very polite and care for their user. When they are hacking or wiping the disk they show proper progress. That is much better user experience than many corporate products. Be like hackers in the movie.
