What's your workflow like to do this?
Initial empty commit with just a message you can create with "git commit --allow-empty -m'Early commit message"
Then when you have the changes lined up you --amend that same commit.

Superfud commented on Why I hate the index finger (1980) pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/arti... · Posted by u/consumer451
I could relate to the claims in the article: for the last 6 months I've had soreness and pain in my left index fingertip that has confounded the doctors I've seen about it, and all that's helped is to avoid using it. Perhaps someone here has experienced something similar?
When typing I feel pain initially at the fingertip where nail meets skin, which worsens and radiates around to the middle finger side of the fingernail after more use. Even when typing without using the index finger, stretching the finger to keep it away from the keyboard induces some pain after a while. If I cut the nail very short, I think I notice some tenderness and loss of sensation in a spot near the middle of the skin just under the nail edge.
I think the pain developed over time while heavily using a split mechanical keyboard (kinesis freestyle edge) with poor typing technique and putting repeated pressure on the tip and side of the finger, but it has not gone away after switching to something more comfortable (kinesis 360). I don't remember any significant injury happening.
The only visual sign is that the skin seems strongly attached to the nail near its edge, there is minimal free edge compared to what my other fingernails (which are all short) have. Actually that is somewhat true of the other index finger, but to a much lesser extent. There is nothing apparently abnormal about the skin under the nail but perhaps any issue isn't visible.
Interestingly, the pain seems worse when my hands are warmer.
X-rays/MRI/ultrasound scans showed nothing abnormal apparently. All my internet searching for an explanation has yielded nothing, hence writing this comment to see if anyone can help.
This is probably the very first thing you tried, but maybe don't cut the nail quite so short? Recommend upgrading to sharp and precise nail cutters as they make it easier to control exact nail length.
A bit off topic, can someone suggest how I can learn more about using databases(postgres specifically) in real world applications? I am familiar with SQL and common ORMs, but I feel the internet is full of beginner level tutorials which lack this depth.
For PostgreSQL, the manual is extremely well written, and is warmly recommended reading. That should give you a robust foundation.

Yah Bethesda game is fitting.
For me it’s the text formatting.
Why can’t I express a pretty table unless pasting it from xls?
Why code blocks are useless and unreadable.
And how HOW do I exit a quoteblock if the quote reach the last line. ( I now always type a character on the last line before starting a block quote )
Call themselves are fine, not great, but damn. Writing text is reminding of text formatting in early version of ms-word.
Hitting enter two times gets you out of code blocks. It's the only consistent method I have found.
Superfud commented on It's quite hard to lose a Duolingo streak leejo.github.io/2022/07/0... · Posted by u/leejo
It can be demotivating. I use other language learning apps (not Duolingo, which is garbage), and I try to maintain a streak not because I care about it, but because I want the daily habit. Nevertheless, the number goes up… and help but get attached to it. I mean I don’t care about the number per se, but it was a reminder of my good study habit, which as someone with ADHD is an accomplishment itself.
Then, like GP, I just had a particularly busy day and didn’t get to my reviews until after midnight. BAM- a triple digit streak gone. After that, every time I logged in I got a reminder of my FAILURE (real or imagined) to keep up with my studies. I didn’t like being reminded of that, so I didn’t login. I ended up taking a year-long sabbatical from language learning instead.
Developers, don’t put streak counters in these sorts of apps.
Readwise allows you to “recover” your streak if you miss a day for whatever reason. I’m sure it is for the exact reason you cite here.

I've gotten into the habit of just having git installed on my web server, and pulling directly from there. Is there some reason why whiskey_disk is better?
Sounds like a simple solution which gets the job done. Using whiskey_disk would reduce your typing by a bit (repeatability is nice for things done all the time), but if you don't have any post-commit tasks you have to run on each deploy, stick with what you have.
Where you'd really see benefit would be when you have multiple config files (with database credentials and addresses, for instance) that vary per server and environment involved. In addition, if you need to run post-deploy actions such as building assets, or run database migrations, a tool would help you.
However, until you feel the pain of your current setup, no need to change what works :)

Sorry if I've not understood correctly, but what is the benefit of this over, say, Capistrano? I'm a little confused.
Good question! The main benefit is you deploy directly from your git-server to your production server, instead of uploading from your own computer. This means a lot faster deploys, especially when your deployments are large or your internet connection is really poor (being able to make deployments quickly while on a 3G connection is awesome). whiskey_disk uses one ssh connection to your server for all work (so less time for spawning ssh connections), and the heavy traffic is not to/from your local machine.
Other benefits of the tool include putting all config files into version control, and a lot less less magic in your deployments.
The fact that change ID is stable is very convenient for humans - means you have something explicit to hold on to as everything else may change over time.
