<p>Curious why you have to have permission to share something done on your own time... certainly that is only related to programming but if you do your own thing on your own hardware on your own time how do they have any say in what you do or don't do?</p>

<p>Painting with a broad brush I feel like the people who still don't like git either worked with mercurial and liked it more, want to be sort of hipster or counter culture and use fossil, or work in microsoft shops or game dev shops.<p>Sample size is small but it's been consistent for me over the past 20 years.<p>I like p4/helix for the locking when working on something like a game where you need assets to be handled more carefully since there's a lot of binary floating around but despise the company and the sales / licensing games. I had a rep just ignore me completely when I emailed wanting to cancel and ended up having to go find the director of the sales org on linkedin and get him involved (and it was cancelled within 24 hours).</p>

<p>Hello! I am in the same boat. Got a kid under 10 too. But I have no regrets yet. The time off was priceless and we never know what tomorrow will hold. My dad was dead when I was 11 so I never planned on playing it safe to try to retire early or even on time.<p>Hang in there and stay with it.</p>

<p>I discovered something about myself a few years ago... I have to simmer in my work and let my head get wrapped around it.<p>My visual for this is a capybara soaking<p><a href="https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/capybaras-take-yuzu-floating-hot-spring-bath-at-izu-news-photo/630331996" rel="nofollow">https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/capybaras-take...</a><p>I am very visual and spatial. The first investment I make in my home or even visiting somewhere for more than 3-4 days where I will need to work without coworking is buying a whiteboard.<p>So now I'm here with all these tools trying to use a remarkable tablet to draw and show the AI what I'm thinking. It's just not fulfilling. Cleaning toilets isn't either. Lots of jobs have felt like a full on race to software factory and it's clear we're going there with AI and the "cognitive debt" from half (or less) activated brains driving the code generation is going to be massive.</p>

<p>Strange position to take. Python and Go are both duck typed but given Go has compile time type checking it is providing another layer of safety. Could you add more detail supporting your stance?</p>

<p>sqlc is pretty darn great but it's no comparison to Django. Django has its own problems and I would love for it to take some lessons from sqlc.<p>Really hate we don't have proper type hints for Django.</p>

<p>Because the page lazy-loads comments that link doesn't work either.<p>Full text of the comment from migrated 9/11/2020, 1:38:27 PM:<p>I saw the same Reddit post and decided to investigate. I skimmed MCP 1.12 because I still have it lying around and that version is affected.<p>In what it calls EntityBoat’s updateFallState, if the boat’s status is not ON_LAND, fall damage is nullified. That will be the case when falling from most heights, because the last time the boat’s status was updated was before it hit the ground. There is only a small exception because the boat checks blocks up to a thousandth of a block below it when updating its status. If it ends up just barely above the ground, its status becomes ON_LAND before hitting the ground, allowing fall damage to take effect.<p>This happens at the given heights because gravity subtracts 0.04F from the boat’s Y velocity. If it were exactly 0.04, the boat would have fallen an integral number of blocks every 2 ticks out of 25: 12, 13; 49, 51; 111, 114; 198, 202; and so on. The boat ends up falling very slightly less than that because 0.04F is rounded down as a 32-bit float, placing it just above the ground and allowing it to become ON_LAND before hitting it.</p>
