Fellow shut-down-er? :P

I somehow started doing this from the very start of my computer interaction, so I never understood why people find it weird. But now if I keep my system on, I feel uneasy, as if I have work pending, so I am make sure to shut it down at the end of day everyday :)


I'm like that too. Sometimes I work for too long and go for dinner, get kids to bed etc... And then take some time to shutdown the computer. Sometime I write myself a note in a readme of the current task. But I close every window on every desktop manually (inc browser which start with clean session), thinking about if I still need anything from it. Then relaxing can begin.


Hope github can natively integrate something in the platform, a relevant discussion I saw on official forums: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/185387


We'll ship some initial changes here next week to provide maintainers the ability to configure PR access as discussed above.

After that ships we'll continue doing a lot of rapid exploration given there's still a lot of ways to improve here. We also just shipped some issues related features here like comment pinning and +1 comment steering [1] to help cut through some noise.

Interested though to see what else emerges like this in the community, I expect we'll see continued experimentation and that's good for OSS.

Every person I meet in climbing gym defines their life in two words: BC and AC: Before Climbing and After Climbing. Had the same experience as OP, thanks to it, I am more fit than ever and have a much better social life :)


So true


its also very annoying that one can't have two test names where one is substring of other


Thats pretty rad! How many papers were you hauling!?


Regardless of the growth discussion, I liked reading the newsletter! Thank you for curating it :)


That indeed feel fast, awesome stuff!



I'm unconvinced with this article. Whilst obviously a smart guy, I don't think Lemire really works on the same problems most of us do. Looking at his posts and publications it's generally high peformance work on problems that are small in scope. I suspect most people actually work on far bigger projects than he does! Neither do I see from that arctile that he's actually used a modern debugger to its full potential. I rarely step through code in slow motion, but sometimes it's great to see program state. If there are thousands of files in a project I don't know well, I can put breakpoints to test hypotheses about my understanding.
