I've done it for a couple of hours during times when I feel my availability is important (big release days for projects, release train planning) but generally it's half a day or more

That's fair. Unfortunately, as much as I am a fan of GitLab there is the fact that GitLab aren't as amazing with their policies around politics 😬 but I like to (likely incorrectly) think they're better

Have you considered posting on your own site? With an RSS feed folks can stay up to date, you can make the content as accessible as possible, instead of being under a platform's constraints etc?

Is that wrapped in a public class Example? That's my immediate thought

I've had such a great time with #Gousto (https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/07/07/four-months-gousto/) as they've got a tonne of 10, 15, and 20 minute meal choices, and their new "prep in 5". We looked at #HelloFresh but all their options involved lots of effort, which doesn't really fit in with what we want

Agreed, it is definitely a shame. I wonder if they'll give it a few years then come back (giving the wonderful cast a few years to age) or whether they'll just leave it there. I've just finished Persepolis Rising, and I'd love to be able to experience the book, but they've not said they'll never do it, just not right now!

 Reply

They've said they're not going to try and cover the last three books, instead just end it at book 6 so part of it will be them trying to align with that, but also rushing the good character building scenes for a bit of action isn't worth it πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

After years of actively avoiding any outside stuff, or exercise, (despite a few years prior going to the gym fairly regularly) I started doing https://ringfitadventure.nintendo.com/ in the first lockdown and it's been the first time I've actively, and regularly, done exercise. I'm doing it 3 times a week, enjoying it, and have found that I'm getting fitter and growing muscle!

You can do this with local/global git config too https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/09/22/git-push-matching/

 Reply

Yup, agreed. I guess it depends too on the bottom line and what a cost implication it has, as well as maybe not being as "good" a referral if it's not as close to real word of mouth?

This is also the way my company changed our referral scheme and it makes it a bit more awkward because you have to actively ask for someone's details to refer them, whereas before you got it through folks following the link, which feels less invasive to me

 Reply

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. It's a shame cause some services I'd happily add an affiliate link when talking about them if I believed in them, but I can see why they may want to do that

 Reply

I wonder if doing it via email is making it an actual referral rather than just allowing someone to search for the code, so it's more the intent than a limitation?

 Reply

I want to say they're not available via API as I can't see them in https://granary.io which I use for rendering context on my site

 Reply

I've got ~/workspaces which is maybe a repo or maybe a group of projects ie "hacktoberfest/2020". At work, a git clone from our internal GitHub goes to ~/workspaces/$org/$repo as that makes it much easier to navigate

When I interact with Twitter from my website I store a copy of the original post (to provide context on my site) but that helps me capture this for longer-term usage, and I've been able to go back through now deleted tweets!

As long as you have consent of all authors you can change license at any point then yeah you can, although a commit with a prior licence will still abide by that license, ie allowing folks to continue using software after it's made proprietary etc
