That doesn't mean you can't say one is a bigger deal than the other.
If I learned how to say "hello" in French today and also found out I have stage 4 brain cancer, they are completely different things but one is a bigger deal than the other.
@jpgrayson (since I see you lurking around here) Thanks for maintaining stgit! I've been a recent convert and it's a great workflow improvement. I used to be a big `git rebase -i` user and stgit works so much more fluidly and fits great with my mental model of how I want git to behave. Thanks!
I'd love to add functionality that mimics `git rebase -i`. That is, you would open an editor and be able to select which patches you want on your stack as well as possibly designate patches as 'squash' or 'fix' from your editor. Think of it as `stg sink`, but able to operate on multiple patches at once.
Prior art: this script[1] already performs a re-ordering of commits but in a pretty hacky way. I'd like to productize it!
I'd love to have this new `stg rebase --interactive` be part of the main repo to enjoy the benefits of the existing test suite. My question for you is around how to include the new command with the rest of the tools. Would you want it to integrate with the existing rebase command (`stg rebase --interactive`) or is it something more appropriate for `contrib` (so a new independent command like `stg-rebase-interactive`)?
About powershell's verbosity: My pandemic project is yet another pipe-objects-instead-of-strings shell, marcel: https://marceltheshell.org. It's "home" is Linux, not Windows.
Marcel is also somewhat verbose. It exposes Python functions on the command line, so when you need to write such a function, it starts getting long. E.g. if you want to sort files by last time modified:
ls | sort (f: f.mtime)
There are abstraction mechanisms to help deal with this. E.g. this defines a command to sort piped-in files by time.
bytime = [sort (f: f.mtime)]
So you can then do this:
ls | bytime
Still kind of wordy. I'm thinking about a way of having flags expand to filters. That would get things as compact as bash.
This is a great post and so spot on. At some point in my career my 'review prep' (which was the time I spent working on my own evaluation of my year at a company) became answering the question, "Do I still want to work here?" I categorize my 'review' in four sections (which are each rated at one of five levels, needs improvement, sometimes meets expectations, meets expectations, sometimes exceeds expectations, or consistently exceeds expectations)
I start by reviewing how I'm being managed, I expect someone managing me to be clear in their expectations of my work product, provide resources when I have identified the need to complete jobs, can clearly articulate the problem I am expected to be solving, and can clearly articulate the criteria by which the solution will be evaluated.
Second I review my co-workers, using a three axis evaluation, can I trust what they say to be accurate/honest, can I count on them to meet their commitments, and are they willing to teach me when I don't understand something and conversely learn when their is something they do not know.
Third I review what level of support do I get to do my job. Am I provided with a workspace where I can get work done? Do have have the equipment I need to do what is being asked? Is my commute conducive to the hours required? And finally and most important, does this job allow me to balance work obligations and non-work obligations?
Fourth I review whether or not the company mission, ethics, and culture is still one that I wish to be a part of. Am I proud of the company's mission? Do I believe that the leadership will make ethical calls even if doing so would mean less profit margin? Can I relate to and am I compatible with the values that my co-workers espouse and the actions they take? (this is the "company culture" theme, is it still a company that fits me culturally)
A company that receives lower than a 3.0 rating I put on a 90 day "company improvement plan" (CIP). I bring issues to the leadership who are in a position to address the situations that I've found wanting and try to secure their commitment to change. If after 90 days they haven't been able to (if they choose not to they're done right away), then I "fire" the company and work to process my exit as expeditiously as possible.
So does this mean that Texas schools, prisons, universities, hospitals etc can freely copy and use commercial software, films, books and other similar works?
It seems like under this precedent the University of Houston could just create their own copies of whatever textbooks they want for their students, potentially even selling those copies.
