Most projects use multiple branches to separate deployable (usually main/master) code from work-in-progress code (usually feature/ticket-id or bugfix/ticket-id) from different people. You then merge the work-in-progress branches to the deployable one after some manner of code review (ie via pull requests on github). Check out Trunk based development for a simple system that resolves around this.
Regarding number of commands, it depends on what system you end up using. If the actual commands are a problem, most IDEs/editors have git plugins that let you automate most of the work. Github/gitlab also allow you to automatically create and merge branches from the UI.

Comment on Looking for advice on a work related issue in ~life
parsley Link ParentI left the company. Actually by the time I left most other devs had left too. It was a culture issue, the whole company was like that in one way or another. Whatever it is in your particular case,...Sorry to hear that you've had this experience! Hopefully my team mate doesn't share the same. Was there anything you or someone else did that made it better?
I left the company. Actually by the time I left most other devs had left too. It was a culture issue, the whole company was like that in one way or another.
Whatever it is in your particular case, I don't think it is something that is fixable, specially if your teammate refuses to accept help. If you think it is dragging the team down, I would talk to your manager first. Maybe you teammate has some other beef with the company you are not aware of (maybe expected more compensation after switching to 100% dev or something like that).

Have you notice any other behavioral changes after the switch to 100% dev work? I've had bad experiences of groups of "pro" devs low-key reminding me how junior I was compared to them.
It might also be that this person has plateaued and only cares about completing his share of the work.
Does your manager think this is an issue? I would feel bullied if I had someone looking over my shoulder all the time as I work, and I would definitely not learn anything that requires analysis in such a situation. I would first clarify what is expected of this teammate, with both your manager and your teammate, and then talk with them on how to achieve what is missing.

His games seem to come from the game & watch style where you have very limited mechanics and the gameplay consists on mastering them and going on endurance runs for points. These, along bullethells (which he seems to like a lot) are "in the zone" kind of games where you develop a sort of meditative trance when you play long enough/well enough.
I had a number of g&w style games as a kid and I loved them but they required me to be bored with nothing better to do to actually give them the time they needed to master them. I have a hard time giving these games more that a couple tries, even if I really enjoy that couple attempts. The prospect of unbound time limit kind of kill them for me.

Comment on A 2024 plea for lean software in ~comp
parsley Link ParentThis happens at the hardware level too, where processor chips have internal operative systems that expose instruction sets that are different from their actual internal operations. Abstractions...Operating systems have ballooned in complexity to where even drawing a pixel on the screen requires so much hoop jumping, usually in the name of security, but none of the mainstream operating systems were designed with security in mind. We just assume that security can be patched in when a vulnerability is found, which has proven to be wrong over and over.
This happens at the hardware level too, where processor chips have internal operative systems that expose instruction sets that are different from their actual internal operations.
Abstractions are a good thing, they are necessary so that different components can evolve independently, otherwise we are back to the era of software only working on one computer model, using all their resources, or worse, to an era where there is one vendor that controls hardware, os, user space software and programming languages.
All of that work could have been avoided if wazuh was more efficient
Maybe, maybe not. You cannot optimize all use cases at the same time. A more efficient wazuh might be missing features you needed.I work building software, I hate the culture of "ease of development if the most important metric, lets just throw more hardware at the problem" from some languages / frameworks, but ease of development is indeed another cost/risk you need to juggle along with performance, scalability, licensing, etc.

I was just trying to express that some people do expect certain content to be in a specific language and that is a valid preference that I don't consider merely a purism.
I see. To be fair, when I first watched the original Avatar TLA I had an issue similar to what you describe. It was my first english speaking animated show in a while and at first my brain was very unhappy with how it looked anime-ish but sounded english, even if that was the original dub.

I can only speak for older spanish dubs, but for me the bigger issues with anime dubs in particular are:
- The overall quality is worse. Dubs feel dubbed over in a way original japanese dubs do not.
- Same voices over and over. Not sure about the US, but in Spain most dubs have the same small group of voice actors, doing the same voices over and over. This is a problem in non-anime dubs too, but it is very noticeable in anime.
- Spanish voice actors do not shout or emote much. I remember fighting sequences in dragon ball with long, monotone "eeaaaaaaaa eeaaaaaaaaa eeaaaaaaaaa" voice lines. No running out of air, no anger, nothing.
Another thing that I see a lot is people complaining that some nuance of japanese is lost in translation. Things like (some) honorifics and set phrases. People want to hear "senpai", "oniichan", et al in their anime. I'm kind of torn on this because while I think the honor dynamics are indeed lost in translation unless you clumsily add them to the english version (via adding the words or reworking the dialog), hearing someone say "oniichan wouldn't do that!" is firgernails-on-chalkboard horrible.

If Netflix already owns the dubbing, it can't cost that much more to run that dubbing in multiple regions, can it?
This is probably a licensing issue. Probably also to keep people from buying international accounts.
... Also different regions might have different laws and some sections might need to be deleted or rephrased to avoid censorship / different age ratings.

XMPP/Jabber was the future of open source communication, easy to interact with people in other servers so you did not need to get an account everywhere. Then google, fb et al adopted it. It was great, you could talk to you google/fb contacts via your jabber account. Next thing everyone was using their google/fb account for jabber and google/fb eventually dropped support.
xmpp also had some design issues like every client / server supporting a different subset of features and not great support for phone connectivity (i think this got fixed), but it got a lot of flak from the community because "xml bad".
afaik mastodon / fediverse also has design issues that at some point people will find unbearable. Maybe the devs / owners will become "evil" like it happened to freenode.
If anything open communications are more fragile since they rely on good will and do not have the means to fight these waves of bad public opinion.

Thinner nibs are more scratchy than the wider ones, but they should still work with little pressure.

I have a couple fountain pens with smaller refillable cartridges and they get used up in a couple months, whereas gel pens can easily last more than a year.
My main gripe with fountain pens is that the ink is water soluble so a droplet on a notebook makes all my writing go away, no matter how dry the ink is. Also its easy to get ink on your hands. I like writing on them but it is hard to justify the drawbacks over any reasonable quality ballpen.

Regarding the incest, I suppose the non objectionable one is Ayumi (who has been your stepmom for a couple years? and is probably 4-5 years older than you tops). The other two (Kanna and ...I guess Yuno?) you don't even know they are your time/dimension-travelling children, and then a throwaway line in the epilogue explains that kids in the epilogue dimension get adult bodies super fast, so Yuno (and maybe Kanna) are potentially very underage by out world standards. -

The benefits for the recipients, the people giving up organs for money will not stop being poor AND will greatly damage their health. And maybe not even for the recipient, as they might be attached to a bill they realistically would never be able to pay.
It is akin to legalizing human trafficking, slavery or hiring people to commit crimes for you. It is exploitative and it should not be allowed just because there are other bad thing already happening in the world.

If they are close enough, freeciv is an open source project inspired by civ 2 that has a web version.
In the realm of web 4x games there is also Neptune's Pride which I have not played but I think it uses a (very slow) real time plus automation instead of turns.
For more tactics / no empire building, there is Advance Wars Web, which is a fan version of gba/nds era advance wars that can be played online.
It is indeed perfectly fine, but once you learn about a couple commands you really don't need to do that.
Some basics here https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Undoing-Things do note that restore is a modern command and is not available in older versions of git.
