What could possibly be preferrable to git switch -c <branchname>?

The last is just a normal git workflow, isn’t it?

Paraphrasing a Scandinavian who gave an interview I once saw in a TV documentary about the correction system in some nordic country:

Once that perpetrator gets out of prison and rents an apartment next to you, would you rather he was subject to inhumane punishment? Or would you rather he was treated like a human being and learned how to behave in society?

That’s… ambiguous.

You took a great deal of liberty in interpreting my comment. There is no anti-intellectualism there. That’s all in your head. My statement “I can create plasma using a candle and a microwave” was aimed at the reporters.

When the research is aimed at eventually building a power plant, then running the process for several minutes without even guesstimating an efficiency factor (or not reporting on it) seems very odd. We can be sure that energy was set free, which the researches must have had to dispose of somehow. I can’t imagine that they just blindly dumped it somehow without even checking how close their dumping process was to failing.

If you’d like to know what a constructive answer would’ve looked like, this is one: https://feddit.nl/comment/15463960

Not a word about how much energy went into the process and how much was harvested…

I can create plasma using a candle and a microwave.

Because it’s the most efficient. With students handing in AI theses, it’s only sensible to have teachers use AI to grade them. No we only need to have teachers use AI to create exam questions and education becomes a fully automated process. Then everyone can go home early.

Sorry, that was a work document.

Can it view PNGs that are larger than 16k by 16k pixels (90MB)? I’ve had trouble with that today with Linux Mint’s default viewer.

another charge slapped on for lying to law enforcement

Context for Germany: You’re allowed to lie to law enforcement.

In Germany we have a law enforcement level below the police called “Ordnungsamt” (I’m not going to try to translate that). They are in charge of these minor misdemeanors (like parking wrong, littering, speeding, etc.) It’s entirely possible that their patrols randomly check dog owners, but personally I’ve never heard of that.

Thanks for catching that. I’m sure there must be a fish-specific term that’s eluding me.

I know of them in Germany. But the duckduckgo image search reveals that they exist in many places.

Reasons for a license to fish (from a German perspective and with common sense):

• You want people who fish to know when they can and cannot fish due to the fish’s [Edit: re pro]creation periods.
• You want people to know which kinds of fish they should and should not catch, in general.
• You want people to know how big a certain kind of fish needs to be before it can be extracted.
• You want a general overview of the number of people fishing in a general area to monitor overfishing.

License to have a dog:

• Costs a certain amount of money each month. This funds public cleaning of dog poop and free dog poop bags.

License for a GMRS radio:

• To prevent too many people from crowding in the same channel.
• To be able to identify assholes who jam a channel with their broadcasts.

License for biking:

• To know the rules of the road

You’re absolutely right. In my mind “feature parity” got garbled into “backwards compatibility”.

Email to all:

“Due to budget constraints, resources will shift from $oldThingy to $newThingy. As a result, $oldThingy’s availability can no longer be maintained at the previous level.”

Then randomly kill oldThingy for more and more hours each day.

location /old_api {
  redirect /new_api
}

(can’t be bothered to check the syntax).

“The other 98% of the codebase.”

I think you’re blowing things out of proportion. None of the handhelds after the Gameboy were innovative. The GameCube didn’t bring anything new. The Wii U was just a beefed-up Wii.

So every other console has been the previous generation, but better.

One of the Ursas could have been The Game of Ur
