@tpolecat@bmc Can you do me a favor and put that party on the backlog? How many story points will it be? And what t-shirt size? Do you think we need an epic? I'll calendar some time so we can prioritize it before grooming next week.
I'm starting to see a wave of single-PR users on GitHub submitting updates to copyright dates. There is nothing obviously malicious about them, though they have a metallic whiff of bot. Is there any reason to avoid these?
@vascorsd Many tools -- like sbt-header -- get cranky if the year is not consistent across the project. But I've started putting the project start year there and leaving it alone.
the cloud, it's an all wonderful and you don't need to worry about physical hardware or bothering with that low level stuff.
RIGHT UP UNTIL YOU WANT OR REQUIRE A FUCKING VNET AND THEN WE ARE ALL BACK IN THE FUCKING 1980s AND MASKING IP ADDRESSES BECAUSE THERE IS NO ONE WHO COULD POSSIBLY ABSTRACT NETWORK ACCESS INTO SOMETHING LESS MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHAHHAHAAH
My phone has an intensely bright white stripe running vertically through the mode of the screen and (a) this is doing terrible things to my eyes and (b) the nearest authorised repair agent for Pixels is over an hour away from San Francisco by public transport
@mjg59 If it's UBreakIFix (aka Asurion), they will most likely deny coverage after that trek. With a bit of persistence, you may be able to get a swap straight from Google.
@chris I grew up on WGN, and moved to Indianapolis in adulthood. We're still close enough to be blacked out, but for the longest time couldn't buy the local channels those blackouts protect at any price. I learned to live without. I still listen to upwards of 100 games on streaming radio, but I couldn't pick Bellinger out of a lineup, and my kids have no interest. They fret about the graying of the fan base, while oblivious to what made fans in the first place.
Every time a company rug pulls a license, block the principals, on GitHub and elsewhere. If you build your product on the back of the commons, and then delete your product from those commons, you delete yourself from collaborating on the next generation of the commons. Trust matters.
@jonoabroad@tpolecat@eed3si9n That's one of the essential differences between the "permissive" licenses (e.g., BSD, MIT, Apache) that most of us comfortably use at work, and the "copyleft" licenses (e.g., LGPL) that make your employers' legal team's sphincters clench.
Nobody can retroactively revoke the license, which is why forks come from HEAD~1. And also why some prominent forks are choosing LGPL, so it doesn't happen again.
@vascorsd I vaguely remember a childhood incident where we found something 3/$1 or $0.25 each, and I bet some forty years later that cashier is still confused why there were three transactions.
