I also don't like that everything became all about pull requests instead of commits. Nobody reads the commit messages these days. They might as well not be there.
If I wrote all my commit messages at work by rolling my face across the keyboard, not one person would notice.
This has been irritating me for months. I'm going to sit down with one of my guys and review the number of people whose swipe cards open the door to our office, but regardless, I do not have the vocabulary to properly articulate how fucking irritated I am at having to create a sign to explain door protocol.
I mean, the whole "knock and wait" thing has been a generally accepted point of common courtesy for... as long as there have been doors.
Is it me, or is seeing Kylie Jenner on the cover of Vanity Fair grating?

We are in the twitter generation of scientific papers.
Instead of "here are several paragraphs of text explaining the context and framework of our work" I'm reviewing papers that are "I have broken my work up into paragraphs and each paragraph is a subsection with its own heading and contains multiple boldfaced words in case you didn't catch that I was referencing other peoples' work".
I'm not five. I can read long form works without gimmicks.

Boooo! Games Workshop slowly ditching brand names and just turning everything into "Warhammer".
I remember when there used to be Marauder Miniatures as well as Citadel Miniatures!
Pretty much gopher here too.
I had to dial into a VAX, and all I could do was telnet to other sites. So I would telnet to a "gopher site" (really a gopher client that was publicly available via telnet) to browse the internet. I didn't have ftp access, and many gopher sites didn't have sz installed, but boombox . micro . umn . edu was one of the few, and through that I was able to download FreeBSD and other stuff.
Shortly after that, I found slirp and a local free net provided free shell and so I used that.
