I don't understand why this is being downvoted. I would love if metric were used universally, but I don't really see any difference between that and wanting a single language to be used universally. In fact, the cost of different languages is certainly much higher than different systems of units. Converting between systems of units is just trivial arithmetic after all.
I have always been very careful with git histories and often rewrite/squash them before final review/merge. Often my rewritten histories have nothing to do with the original history and commits are logically/intuitively separated and individually testable.
That said, very few people seem to be like me. Most people have no concept of what a clear commit history is. I think it's kind of similar to how most people are terrible written communicators. Few people have any clue how to express themselves clearly. The easiest way to deal with people like this is to just have them squash their PRs. This way you can at least enforce some sanity at review and then the final commit should enforce some standards.
I agree on rebasing instead of straight merging, but even that's too complicated for most people.
I enjoy using chalkboards so much more than whiteboards. Other than the chalk dust, I just can't understand how anyone would prefer whiteboards over chalkboards.
There is much less selection in colors for chalk. And many of them show very poorly on chalkboards. Hagoromo's green for example, is almost impossible to make out on our chalkboards.
The fact that it's still used in many places obviously means it's not unbearable. Besides if you're bothered by the dust you can use the water cleaning methods described in this very thread. It's not perfect, but I would take a chalkboard over a whiteboard anytime.
>Besides if you're bothered by the dust you can use the water cleaning methods
Yes, because I carry large amounts of water around with me for every lecture that I teach. Seriously? The board is covered with dust, the chalk tray is covered with dust and the floor nearby is covered with dust. No one cleans them at my school.
The fix is just to use whiteboards which are just better for everyone who doesn't have a fixation with chalkboards.
The irony is that if Tylenol use in pregnancy actually does increase the risk of autism, RFK's destruction of trust in the government's scientific process will probably just push that sort result back. He's a charlatan and totally unscientific regardless.
Luckily for those of us who care, there are private and foreign government organizations who still take healthcare and science seriously. Unfortunately the only sane solution seems to be to ignore the US authorities on this for the time being.
Right, I think this falls under the "broken clock correct twice a day" saying. RFK Jr says a lot of crazy things, but he probably does occasionally say something that makes sense, through no skill of his own.
I mean, he rails against processed food and color/dye additives, some of it being stuff that other countries with reputable FDA-analogues have banned. There could be something to that, even though I can confidently assume his opinions don't come from any sort of scientific rigor.
Some blue states are even (quietly?) jumping on the "MAHA" bandwagon on some issues. Not to categorically say "blue states right, red states wrong", but if your polarized political opponents are putting some of your ideas into practice, maybe not all your ideas are bad, regardless of how unscientifically you may have come by them.
You're forgetting that for half the country that trust was destroyed years ago, and RFK actually being aware of and wanting to investigate evidence like this is restoring it.
That half of the country is not having their trust in science restored. They're forcing their superstitions onto everyone else and calling that science.
I'm not sure where you're getting your information, but this is a quote from the European Commission itself:
> The political agreement of 27 July 2025 is not legally binding. Beyond taking the immediate actions committed, the EU and the US will further negotiate, in line with their relevant internal procedures, to fully implement the political agreement.
You might consider updating your mistaken prior beliefs.
Edit: I see another comment made the same point. I'll have to presume that after you've been presented with this new information, you'll realize that you are in fact very wrong.
Then I think you just don't have much imagination. I have recovered files in /tmp after turning off a machine by booting it back up in single-user mode and accessing the data before it would be cleared in during bootup. Given that "turning off a machine" can also mean "the machine lost power", I can definitely see why people would be surprised by this change.
I can't speak for the other poster, but I like the idea a lot. Having tools with specific purposes means I can avoid using my phone for everything. No matter what games I play to remove notifications/interruptions/etc. it's always a distraction and easy to be distracted from whatever I originally intended to use the phone for.
