'We' are thinking about death metal quite often, but not in this context.

Bottom of the barrel electronic pop. Naming it this way is an affront to both electronic and pop, I guess.

Also, as a French, I'm amused you mention that one. (It's a cover of a French song which is associated with a very popular comedy movie.)

Serious answer? The document layout is sort of structured by virtue of being a giant table. Plus if you have the aptitude you can put in formulas when you need something calculated instead of performing the calculation beforehand. And it accepts all of the other OLE embedding shortcuts (pasting images and such) as the rest of Office.
Why, yes, I do use XLS and RTF files way too often...

@Zerosquare The other day, my dad, who was basically an industrial mechanic, said that being forced to take shortcuts at work makes people take shortcuts at home too. This sort of bullshit is exactly why I absolutely refuse to change my style or my tools on my projects.

This is why you donât use Git command line. Most GUIs default to automatically staging tracked files at commit time, but the command line doesnât â when you do
git commit
without the -a flag and without having rungit add
first to stage your changes, the commit command will fail due to no changes to commit.And if youâre adding a new (previously untracked) file, you MUST use
git add
to stage the file first â there is no command line option for git commit to auto stage untracked files.Or again just use a sensible IDE like Visual Studio
-
@izzion This is a GUI, except that the instructions make you use an application and the website for different parts of the process. Also, no integration with Visual Studio (or SQL Management Studio) because why. Just the sheer stupidity of how this system is cobbled together at times pushes me this close to summarily quitting.
-
The only IDE Iâve seen with bad handling to git auto staging is VS Code. Which basically has the same limitations as the command line client and no option to change them. So I have the same problem on my hobby project every time because they have some eslint bullshittery that doesnât work well with VSâs intellisense out of the box.
Maybe you could install Git (CLI) for $OS and at least have access to the Linus way to do things?

To each their own. The auto-staging of untracked files and changes in existing files that other programs do is exactly why I use the command line. Or git-gui.

Status: Wish I could say I was surprised.
I was trying to spend that second half of the paycheck but of course the internet of stupid had other ideas. Google is so awesome at not finding products by name. One of the projects I've been looking to catch up on is retro gaming. I bought this stupidly expensive FPGA NES console and a development kit almost a year ago. But, would you believe it, controllers were constantly out of stock and I have no idea where my original set is.
So I was looking for reproduction NES controllers that A) use the original port and B) aren't complete and utter garbage. Hyperkin had a model I liked the look of but their shipping was absurd. Trying to find it elsewhere was an exercise in futility. Google couldn't find many places and every "in stock" on Google was out of stock on the site. So at some point I saw a black version that would match this stupid console and the only way I found it on any storefront was by accident (I clicked on an ad for an NES Advantage lookalike and that store had it listed elsewhere without the brand name).
I had also been considering buying a blank black shell, transplanting the electronics, and finding some overlay decals. Because apparently it's a thing to sell blank shells but no other parts. Fortunately, overlay decals seem to be a completely individual effort, as virtually nobody sells pre-made ones. Except this one site, that though using graphics from the 16-bit SUPER MARIO ALL-STARS version of Super Mario 3 made sense for an 8-bit NES controller. You can't make this stuff up.
Finally I found a place to order a set of controllers for a fair price (as in not $40 shipping). I get two order confirmation e-mails and neither one has the order details in it. Why did you send me two e-mails that say absolutely nothing? I have an order number but apparently I can only view it by logging into an account that it let me checkout without creating.
Stupid.
I never got back to buying a red NES cartridge shell to dump my homebrew ROMs to because of this. Amazingly, I found somebody on eBay selling nice made-in-USA cartridges but, of course, they went all Henry Ford when it came to colors. Even though I won't have a chance to actually make a game for months, I don't want to order something from China and wait until months for the cartridge. And the volume of competitors selling "red" cartridges that are actually pink is ridiculous.

I gave up on third party tools for git about half a decade ago too. I use IntelliJ for diffs and the occasional commit where I have a lot of junk in the ide but it was just easier to fall into git's expected workflow instead of doing things the way I wanted to. Sometimes it's just easier to bend to the technology.
-
@DogsB I spent a while using Gerrit as a server which few third party tools really support properly because of its weird workflow so I had to git gud, literally.
These days though I work just with GitHub repos and you can pry Sublime Merge out of my cold, dead off-hand while prying Sublime Text from my cold, dead, dominant hand.

This is the part that seems odd, unless you've got scripts hooked to committing. (If that's the case, they're not git's fault but rather the fault of whoever wrote those damn scripts.)
This would've been so easy in SourceSafe.
Assuming someone else hadn't locked everything and then gone on vacation for several weeks. Or the shared repo wasn't just corrupted.

Works well for my pretty simplistic workflow. Although that mostly consists of âlook at diff, acknowledge itâs what I wanted to do, stage, repeat.â For whatever reason (shitty git defaults) it doesnât like starting commit messages with

for me, which is a pity.
