we should make the empty string the name for the default branch

everyone understands

no, new people learn git every day.

'main' is much clearer. It's maybe not the same readability gain as 'blocklist/allowlist' over 'blacklist/whitelist', but it's still there.

I would argue that it's best/easiest to leave existing projects on master, and just use main for new ones. Either way I agree, people arw reactionary af about this issue

I can't tell if this is hilarious satire or the dumbest take imaginable

Why master? main is much clearer

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

regardless of that, it's never inconvenienced me and it's still a net gain in readability, since main actually means what it means. have my shell scripts set up to use either one for any repo I'm in automatically.

I don't know how but I went way too long without a password manager. Changed my life. I recommend Bitwarden. I also use it to store like, my bank account number or my tax number.

Hi!

I've been learning Bevy and LOVING IT, there's only one thing confusing me. Many components appear to be created magically even if not specified in the Bundle passed to commants.spawn.

For example, when I spawn just a Sprite component, the entity seems to automatically get a Transform component, even if I didn't give it one.

Similarly, this example spawns a Screenshot component, which apparently results in a Capturing component that can be queried later.

Are these "implicit" components documented somewhere? I took a short look at the TransformPlugin for example but I can't seem to figure out where these components come from.

Thanks y'all!

 
 
 

Hey friends!

Basically, here is my problem. I open the launcher menu (or KRunner) and start typing. Let's say I type "firefox", and hit Enter.

The launcher menu is very slow. It often opens "Files" instead, because that pops up after I type the first two letters.

Basically this means I need to wait a second for the launcher to finish searching, show me firefox, and then press enter.

This is frankly infuriating. Every other launcher on any other desktop or WM does not have this issue.

I have experienced this on two different machines running both Plasma 5 and 6, on different distros, both are beefy machines.

I'm sure there is a way to avoid it, does anybody know?

 

This isn't strictly a Pathfinder thing but I like this community.

Basically, there is this meme that Human Figher is a "boring" default choice or sign of an uncreative character. I disagree. Picking out a weird ancestry is not creative. Choosing a human fighter basically means that you get zero flavor from your ancestry and class - so you are forced to get creative yourself. You are forced to give your character a personality, and you are forced to solve problems creatively.

For me, the stereotype is the opposite - if a player chooses an esoteric ancestry and class combo, I worry that their characters whole personality is just their ancestry.

Of course both humans and other ancestries make for great characters if done right.

 

I stumbled upon this and couldn't find any definite answers.

The Escape action states that you can use Athletics, Acrobatics, or your unarmed attack modifier. However, it specifically says that you use your modifier and not an actual attack. While fists have the Finesse trait, the regular attack does not - so am I correct in assuming that if you have a higher Dex than Str, that you can only use Dex with acrobatics, not with the unarmed attack modifier?
