<p>This site is really cool! Thanks for sharing<p>> Because it works by exploiting this leakage, Time Station Emulator works best with a built-in speaker of a phone or tablet.<p>> In some cases, wired headphones or earbuds may also be suitable.<p>> Higher-frequency harmonics are considered artifacts beyond the range of human hearing, so they are routinely suppressed by audio compression algorithms and better equipment.<p>> Bluetooth devices and audiophile-grade equipment are therefore less likely to work.</p>

<p>I think sometimes this happens to reset the reviews. If the score gets to low, they just publish a new app. Or they fix an issue that people have been complaining about for a while. Maybe they want to increase ad spend and those 1 stars from three years ago make it hard to promote?</p>

<p>It's not really, but there are a couple minor differences in practice.<p>First, it assumes the name of your upstream repository is "origin" which is fine in most cases as that is what `git clone` defaults to naming the remote.<p>Second, using `HEAD` always pushes your current checked our branch to your remote with a remote branch of the same name. It's a neat trick to skip the "`git push` -> you need to set your upstream branch -> push command the git outputs" loop.<p>Lastly, `--force-with-lease` is a safer version of `--force` or `-f` because it tries to ensure that you don't overwrite history accidentally. The `--force-with-lease` flag will fail if a coworker for example pushed a commit to your branch that you didn't know about. Where a regular `--force` would just overwrite that change.<p>I assume that the command is meant to be "safe" and "foolproof", in that this command should always work.<p>Since the parent post recommends a lot of rebasing in their other commands, you'll need a `--force` or `--force-with-lease` to push new commits because they won't be "fast forwardable"</p>

<p>I have a little blog that occasionally gets hits when the SEO winds blow my way and twice people have reached out thanking me for a post. It's made my whole month! And encourages me to keep posting stuff. So I really appreciate that you do that, I should make an effort to do the same.<p>I write the blog as more of documentation for myself than something to share, but knowing that I've helped someone else is icing on the cake.</p>

<p>This is really cool.<p>Oddly it seems to get the wrong name for a river in my hometown. If I drop a pin in Columbus, OH it should flow into a creek or whatever, then the Scioto River and down to the Ohio. But the listing shows the Scioto as "Paint Creek." This misnaming of the Scioto River holds true as I head South and try in Circleville or Chillocothe. Still really neat!</p>
