The why is that most people when given the merge option don’t clean up their history so you end up with tons of garbage fix up commits.

That is an issue of ignorance, not laziness. It’s not obvious at all to an average developer that only uses `add/commit/merge/fetch/push/pull/rebase/restore/reset` that they can manipulate their change history.

Maybe if you can get it to zoom out far enough and wire up an array of lights on the surface of Nauvis…

I tried on my 1366x768 display fully zoomed out and it doesn't cover enough space for DOOM's 320x200 display if each pixel is one tile. But maybe you could get the display working on the map? Not sure if that's even possible, are there any Factorio tiles that can change their map color on demand? Or just download some kind of utlra-zoom mod, that works too.

It probably depends on the measure used to define peak, but the removal of arbitrary limits on honest intellectual inquiry has huge benefits, eg the enlightenment, science, etc.


Did the enlightenment not have a taboo around questioning e.g. the fundamental equality of all human beings?


My impression was that that taboo first got a firm foothold a couple of hundred years later, after the second world war showed what industrialised genocide looks like. How could the fundamental equality of all humans otherwise have been accepted as true and taboo to talk about at the same time as women being denied suffrage until the early 19-hundreds, or eugenics being openly discussed well into the 1930ies?


Precisely by being protected from this kind of rigorous practical analysis!


It’s funny because captchas are meant to be hard for bots but easy for people and it might be the opposite now.


Some of the newer ones I've seen with random symbols scattered and rotated on a random background are really awful. As a person with all my mental faculties and mostly correctable vision I have to solve them carefully.

Never would have imagine that "sit in a chair and browse the internet" would become an activity limited to the able bodied.


Radar might still have worked



Wait it’s not April?


You're not familiar with the internationally recognized Day of the Joker every 11/11?


Probably it means that now we have evidence that… it is a colloquialism

Edit: yep, The universe's expansion may actually have started to slow rather than accelerating at an ever-increasing rate as previously thought, a new study suggests.


People talking about efficiency are missing the point - the pedals are only there so it gets classified as an e-bike and not an electric motorcycle (so no license required, registration, taxes, can drive in the bike lane) and doesn’t have the jerky handling of an e-bike with the wheels mechanically linked to the pedals.

They never really intend for you to turn the pedals. It is a regulatory thing.


I’ve seen it fail, having tried it for a few years. There’s a type that passes this no problem but isn’t productive.

I switched to a battery of knowledge questions centered on the type of programmer I was looking for, it works much better and is even predictive of coding ability as it helps you learn this stuff.


There's not much ways you can spot a skilled but unproductive BSer from interviews.


The trouble is, there would also be no unsolved thought crimes


Another problem is that “crime” is a very flexible term and when you have a hammer everything looks like a nail. Also the legal system specially in the US likes to equate convictions with solved cases which is not always the same.
