@keita How do you even find someone to follow? I replied to a post from the help account and no response ever. Kinda just ignoring the whole thing at this point.

@matigo Nope. Now shows an annoying Bitbucket landing/sales page.

@matigo My standard workflow is to hack away till a pause point, then shred it all up into step by step commits by staging patch hunks interactively. Everything dirty is always destined for a particular branch, though.

None of this applies for dotfiles repos, of course. ;)

Bitbucket have helpfully moved all their static sites from USER.bitbucket.org to USER.bitbucket.io without any redirects. Thanks, jerk-offs, for breaking the Web.

The Haskell standard library makes shallow use of quite deep and complex ideas. Yes it uses the words Monad, Functor, and Category. But you don’t need to have any idea what these words mean to use them. [jozefg.bitbucket.io]

All build systems suck. The only thing worse than your current build system is your future build system. [wiki.sel4.systems]

Just clicked today that we had an unused old entertainment system sitting 5 ft from my desk. Plugged everything in, and now I have external speakers. MUCH. NICER. SOUND!

@JeremyCherfas You can just switch to a new branch and commit them there. Or stash and switch and then unstash and commit. So many choices: git believes in liberal availability of useful tools and footguns.

@JeremyCherfas New branch. Generally named after what you're trying to accomplish using it. Make commits on that branch as you work. When happy, merge it into master and delete the branch.

@peemee I owe my middle name to an uncle who died of childhood leukemia.
