Creating a silly sig (signature) for a web forum (gimptalk?). I think they had a specific sub forum for sig critique.

I was thinking that might be a thing. Actually kind of poetic. Love it.

Is this the same Chicago that sold all their parking meters to Wall Street making infrastructure changes really difficult because it would cut into parking meter profits?

Story at the end of this great 99pi

I've had useless paired programming sessions and great ones. Definitely depends on the person and the problem.

The CLI and probably other more advanced guis are going to give you the option to:

  • bisect: very useful for debugging. Like definitely check it out.
  • rebase: excellent for clean commits. I use it all the time to squash commits together
  • diff arbitrary branches and commits. Super useful for debugging.
  • cherry pick: useful to apply a commit from a different branch or remote
  • Apply: I use it to pass around patches for things for testing / debugging.

That's just off the top of my head and also stuff that you can learn on the job. Good to know it exists though. I still use a "gui" (fugitive for vim) for simple tasks, like staging files 🙂

Github desktop will get you into trouble if you ever try to work with a team. Fine for solo development

This is basically the unix philosophy. Build a bunch of separate apps that can be hooked together (via pipes).

In that case, personally I'd make the flag blowing toward the stern to show that it was beating up wind. I'd upvote a picture of the completed model if you upload it 😁

Nice! Just curious, what's the line across the cockpit doing there?

I have a SignalK server running on a raspberry pi that I finally got hooked up to my instruments via a nifty hat (sailor hat). I'm excited to try out the anchor alarm feature. Hopefully it'll be less prone to false alarms about my anchor dragging than my phone.

For practice: You can reach out to your sailing community and ask to participate in some races. In my experience boats are always looking for consistent crew members.

Depends on what point of sail the ship is going in. The flag could be blowing any number of directions. What is your model rigged for?
