I went with the fine nib cause I wanted it small but was afraid extra fine would feel a little scratchy. after trying it and it felt like writing with butter I kinda wanna try a extra fine sometime 😅 ordered mine online so i couldn’t try them out but i am very happy with it! kinda feel bad my other pens get so little use now 😁
I’ve been using git for 10+ years and still sometimes do this. I know I could fix it, I also pretty much know what to do to fix it. However nuking the thing from orbit and restarting takes like 30 secs, so it’s never worth fixing.
I’m using Mercurial for the last 2 years at current company, before that it was 5-7 years of Git on various jobs. It’s so much better if you use it correctly (no long-living or big branches). I forgot what hell Git was sometimes.
I have used Mercurial at work for years, and Git for side projects. I screw up far less often in Mercurial, and its tools are easy to use. It’s strange how thoroughly Git took over.
I like SourceTree and it’s free. I don’t use it all the time, but if I’ve made a bunch of changes debugging something and I want to easily discard all of the debugging-only changes, the UI makes it really easy to commit or discard individual lines from the changeset.
Additionally, I set up an alias to open it from the command line (stree) and have it show whatever git directory I opened it from.
My experience is the opposite. A colleague who uses SourceTree and git console (for use cases not covered by SourceTree) asked me a few times to fix his branches when something went wrong (after using git console). I easily fixed it using SmartGit (paid software).
Git is something that is very comfortable to use after a year or two, but when you initially start using it, it is just so easy to mess things up in ways that are unrecoverable. I remember the silly days when I’d back up all my changes first before using git since I would so regularly lose everything through a combination of git commands.
It’s easy for me now, but the initial stages punish mistakes severely. It’s the dark souls of source control, except it’s not really fun. It’s just a very beginner unfriendly tool.
IME, to use git effectively, and make sense of the man-pages, you have to know a lot of the internals of how git works. I found it helpful to read “Git from the bottom up” when I had to start using it professionally: jwiegley.github.io/git-from-the-bottom-up/
I love goats so much. At work I have to take care of two of them and one keeps bleating until I pet it. They’re like big dogs that like food even more.
Yup you should be seeing small pill shaped droppings. Mice leave them everywhere (if you have them).
A cheap solution is to ask a neighbor with cats for some leftover litter (urine litter not cat poop). Fill up a small disposable tray or bowl with the urine soaked litter and put it up in your attic for a few days. I’ve had mice clear out the day of and never return. Also consider just getting a cat for long term pest control.
Fun fact, cats aren’t actually very effective at killing all the rodents. They’ve done studies and basically the cats just make them really skiddish and they hide so you never see them. They kill one here or there but the real benefit is getting them out of sight.
You never met my cat. She was the Terror of Rodents. Like Roman conquerers of old, she used to line up decapitated rats on the welcome mat as her Triumph. Stepping on a whole family of five dead rats while leaving for work is a good start to the day.
