I use *histogram*, because mercurial spoiled me and there is enough CPU to go around

I have to buy my first Apple laptop now just so I can use this sticker :D

I asked, because I want to know why it sucks :D

Like @JustKidding I also leave the more pertient topics of thought open in tabs, might group them together. I dont even use a tree tab plugin anymore, since there's only like max 10 browser windows open per Desktop and 5..20 tabs per browser window :D

@irene @musician I have the same exact workflow and reasons as @JustKidding

I have 36 virtual desktops (also called WorkSpaces), which act like tabs of virtual computers - for each topic (for very large projects, for each subtopics).

in those WorkSpaces I will have some apps open, which are needed for that project (like their own IDE, own DB manager etc). and also might have lots of browser windows open if I am researching a solution.

I reassigned numlock to open a new Chrome (since firefox does not focus on the search bar, nor open in the foreground). So I just hit numlock and write my search query. If a topic of thought splits, I tear the new topic into a separate window. ALWAYS. Its faster to browser windows close by topic also

@bkwilliams nope, just normal surfing/research/abook downloading

buy a phone with a removable battery and then buy 2 fat (3x the size of the small ones usually) batteries for it (or 3..4 small ones) + a wall socket loader + a usb loader for the external battery. You'll never go back ;)

I go through the equivalent of 4 batteries on a normal busy day. the wall charger will charge the battery up quicker than you use up the other one, but the usb chargers are a slow last ditch effort.

for reference: Samsung Galaxy S4; LG G4 (which is still nice and powerful, even with 600+ apps)

how long until your sleep drifts towards the old times in the new timezone? ;)

@Artemix exactly my point for using a GUI

I love the terminal, I have like a million scripts and aliases

my terminal launcher shortcut keys are worn to the bone :)

but.. there is a time and a place for every tool and technology. I think version control is a visual process, thus needing a visual tool

..door must be using git, instead of mercurial

@rijad93 I've *never* needed a cheat sheet for mercurial

the cheat in mercurial is to write the command name of what you want to do, not some random word Linus came up with in a drunken madness :D

#stillLoveLinus

I know of web agencies, where devs *have to* commit their code at the end of the day, broken or not.. full of shit comments and whatTheFucks or not

version control is apparently a system to prove to ones boss that one has been productive today..

you are not alone

take git cherrypick vs hg graft

one is a perfectionistic endevaour to pick the best, toss the rest

the other is a process of adding something to an existing thing, making it better

this shows the mindset of git..

#peopleTakingScreenshotsWithPhones :D

wait, designers can talk ?!

usually I reside somewhere in the middle of all 4 burners and just watch tv instead :D

@rijad93 so you dont have cases where you need to merge like 4 branches in some specific/random order and cherrypick (graft) stuff from branches 5..10 ?

it kinda seems like git isnt really built for branchy development, where your every breath gets a separate branch :D

@rijad93 how do you visualize branch trees on command line?

my first experience with git was after years and years of mercurial

I still have PTSD from that

example:

git cherrypick

vs:

hg graft

even the fucking names show a different form of thought. Cherrypicking is a perfectionist endeavour of tossing stuff around to find 1 nugget, whilst Grafting is the act of adding sth to an existing thing (like an apple tree)

because it fucking rulez over git any day :)

@monr0e and also.. its like 9$.. for a programmer. thats like a few extra minutes of programming to pay for it ;)

@monr0e DI.fm has curated channels. no cognitive load to keep youtube on track AND also no ability to skip tracks like in Spotify, which increases cognitive load further

I stopped my Spotify Premium because I felt the need to judge each track whether it helps me code or should I just skip it it to teach the algorithms - too much work :D
