Readit NewsI use it every day and don't have any issues with the review system, but to me it's very similar to github. If anything, I miss being able to suggest changes and have people click a button to integrate them as commits.
An alternative is using "known" points of reference like Olympic swimming pools, the Sistine Chapel etc (similar to "an area the size of Belgium"). But that risks getting absurd.
I mean, if it's not a problem to do that (and I don't find either option a problem personally) then fine, but it doesn't seem like it's a "better" option except in some small cases (like forgetting you stashed).
> You can stash everything, create a new branch, switch to it, fix the bug, commit and push it, then switch back to what you were working on.
And OP said this (snarkily)
> Why couldn't you, like, create another branch off of main, switch to that, and fix the bug there, then resume working on your feature branch?
They're the same except the blog author was more specific!
How "cloning the repo on a different folder on the same machine just to work on a bug fix" is different from the main way Git is supposed to be used (creating a new branch for the bug fix and working there, then checking out your feature branch again)?
In that it doesn't make sense.
They might as well go full 1980s style "codebase_1/ codebase_2/ codebase_3/ codebase_3.bak/" and so on copies, and skip code management altogether...
> You can stash everything, create a new branch, switch to it, fix the bug, commit and push it, then switch back to what you were working on.
OP said this (you and a few others reiterated or agreed with it)
> Why couldn't you, like, create another branch off of main, switch to that, and fix the bug there, then resume working on your feature branch?
I can't see the difference. Seeing them side by side they're virtually identical except the blog author specified stashing!
How about "regifting" what context does he use there instead of the preexisting definition of gifting a gift you have received? The existing definition would apply for ALL gifts - including penises (or whetever context thats about).
Shrinkage became a word used in a comical attempt to quash rumours of small penis size as well as to describe what happens when men swim in cold water. In the time when Seinfeld was popular then the word shrinkage used in a certain way would have been understood in these contexts and wouldn't have resulted in a HN-style overly literal interpretation and the question "what shrunk?". (speaking of overly-literal interpretations I feel the need to clarify that i'm referring to people who were vaguely up to date with popular culture).
Regifting isn't a literal description of giving a gift you received to another person. After Seinfeld's use it became a humorous euphemism for cheapness and tactlessness.

I'd stopped at a picnic location near a rocky Atlantic (European) coastline with my partner. It was a picturesque location but the sea was inhospitable - huge swell and waves that just looked violent. We'd sat down at a bench with a view of the sea and set out our lunch. At some point after that I noticed two people in the sea, maybe 30-50m out. They were bobbing about in the swell. Initially I was confused. It didn't look right but my mind tried to make explanations - maybe the locals just swim out there in crazy conditions? After some time it became clear that they were in trouble, I guess that's when the "drowning doesn't look like drowning" advice came to me. Luckily the beach (tiny strip of sand between cliffs) had a well-labelled sign with an emergency number that I called and managed to ask for an English speaker and described the situation.
Whilst waiting for the response one of the people in the water started trying to tow the other towards shore but made no progress. They kept disappearing behind large waves and at some point I could only pick out one of them, then I saw a pair of shoes or sandals floating then I saw the other person face down in the water, occasionally visible behind the swell. There was some dithering where a local official came to the beach to check out the report but eventually we heard helicopters and one person was rescued and the body of the other recovered.
It turned out there was a group of three tourists, two sons (teenage/early 20s) and their dad. A local had taken them to a fishing spot - a flat rock that spanned out towards the sea close to water level. A large wave had washed the dad and one of his sons out to sea. The dad died. I witnessed the other son - who hadn't been washed out to sea - being interviewed by police, as utterly distraught as i've ever seen a person, understandably.
Looking back on it I should have realised the severity of the situation sooner but perhaps without this advice I would have left it too late and neither would have made it.
