Have you tried The First Descendant yet? It’s pretty rough with load times and beats the cap out a graphics card. Is that considered AAA?
lol thanks for the answer. This is the really relevant bit isn’t it? My Linux machines have also never died this badly before. But I’ve seen windows do it a number of times before this whole fiasco.
This is funny timing for me. I mentioned something related to my wife yesterday. When I was a kid, my perception of other countries was completely ridiculous. Low tech, uncivilized, impoverished, etc. compared to the USA. It took way too long for me to achieve a more realistic perspective of foreign countries at large. I’m not sure who to blame for this but the they surely belong to the previous generation or two.
What’s the user experience like there? Are you prompted to do it if the system fails to boot “happily”?
I’m familiar enough with Linux but never used an immutable distro. I recognize the technical difference between what you describe and “go delete a specific file in safe mode”. But how about the more generic statement? Is this much different from “boot in a special way and go fix the problem”? Is any easier or more difficult than what people had to do on windows?
A complicated plugin ecosystem (e.g. Jenkins) makes for a terrible use experience. It’s annoying to configure a bunch of config files. Managing dependencies can be a complete nightmare. these problems also complicate your ci/cd.
So I’ll offer a slightly different answer. I prefer a single file instead of splitting up the config. And I’ll use OpenTelemetry as an excellent example of why. the plugins are compiled right into the app binary. This offers a ton of advantages, including a great reason to merge all of your app configs in a single file.
This really only works well if you have a good app though.
Ya this is definitely one to maintain some skepticism about. People are criticizing the API’s security in other posts.
The EU is a large enough governing body to have a significant global impact. And I truly appreciate the progress it makes on important subjects.
However, it’s still not effective enough. Apple doesn’t allow third party app stores in countries outside the EU.
Exactly. There is a general need to destroy and rebuild a system but it is often dangerous and costly. Especially with regard to a system of laws and government. Improving the system more naturally is far more safe and more achievable at smaller scales.
Wow. I 100% agree with you here.
There’s an element of trust when you buy a product. You trust that the product itself isn’t malicious and is intended to help you in some way. E.g. “This food is safely prepared and won’t poison me.” Harvesting user data and advertising really violate that trust.
Though it is worth noting that we don’t buy web browsers. We simply use them for “free“.
Exactly. It sounds like Mozilla is trying to protect those that aren’t willing or able to protect themselves. It’s a noble reason to do just a little bit of evil. This is roughly the source of my mixed feelings on the subject.
While I appreciate your sentiment, this just isn’t realistic in the current state of the world. First, you need to make these kind of tactics illegal enough to incarcerate a person. Second, you need to expand and enforce this law globally. We definitely need this level of global cooperation, but are also soooo far away from achieving it
So I read a bit of Mozilla’s documentation about this feature. It sounds like they’re trying to replace the current practices with something safer. Honestly, my first thought is that this is a good thing for two reasons.
If both of these are true, then it could be a net positive for the world. Please tell me if I’m wrong!
My pleasure. Thanks for posting! And feel free to ask more questions as you tackle this one.
I’m on my phone so I can’t really test these out. But this should give you a few methods for printing the list of files changed.
Here’s a similar page to show the changes for a specific file. I expect that git blame
will be similarly useful.
A few others that may help you get started as well:
git —help
git rev-parse
git log
git history
Yikes! Is this a one-time task?
Well this is definitely a bit odd. Send like those comments should be included with the original change. Or maybe they shouldn’t be recorded as comments at all and they should be a git commit message. And where does that hard copy report come from? Anyways, back to your actual question.
At this point, I’m still suggesting a tiny utility to assist with adding the comments. It looks like %ATTCHANGE and %REM are part of a very sort list of possible values. If so, a little cli tool can definitely help there. It could also handle the general comment structure and the changed value easily. Do these comments ever include something besides #ACCEPTED?
The tricky part is the ‘12.24/4’. It sounds like you go through the report and then find the files/lines to create these comments. Is that right? It would be tricky to code a cli tool for doing that because you need to jump around between files.
Last note for now, some simple git commands can definitely help you here. You could easily generate a list of changed files and lines. Another could show you the changed text. For any given change. Etc.
Can you give an example of the change and your comment for a single file?
2000 is a lot of files. If you need to do this often, it might be best to build a small cli tool to make this easier or fully automated. It really depends on how you choose to create those comments.
pop-ups (which disappear when I start typing) or a dedicated diff-view which takes up too much space on my small monitor
What kind of experience are you looking? Apparently, something small that persists while you type. Think you could share some more details?
Never do this.
Git is all about tracking changes over time which is meaningless with binary files. They are bloat for your repo, slowing down operations. Depending on the repo, they are likely to change from CI with every commit. That last one means that every commit turns into 2 commits btw. They are can ruin diffs. I could go on for a long time here.
There are basically 0 upsides. Use an artifact repository instead!
