  1. It sends a different message, in my opinion. Blocking means "I disagree, but lets figure it out and work together to get it over the finish line". "I don't approve, but someone else can" is very non-commital. Which gives me the feeling of being left alone with a bunch of critique, without appreciation for the work that I have originally done. I would wish my reviewer takes responsibility for his/her feedback. "I don't approve, but someone else can" also means to me "Merge it, if you must. If it works out, good for you, I havent blocked it. If it doesnt work out, I get to say 'See, I told you so!'.
  2. Personally I hate it when people just leave comments on my PR without explicitly blocking or approving it. To me it comes across as indecisive. Either you are fine with the changes -> approve. If you think this code shouldn't be merged in it's current state -> block. Just leaving a comment feels like you want to complain, but don't really take any responsibility for what happens next. There are exceptions of course and it all depends on the comments and the circumstances, but I generally prefer explicit yes or no.
  3. How hard is it to remember 911 .. I mean 999!
  4. I remember my own phone number and the new emergency number from the IT crowd episode: 0118999881999119725 3

    It's funny how the brain works. I don't even remember my girlfriend or my mother's number, but I can recognize it when I see it.

  5. I could say the same thing about me "non-legal person" trying to read any contract, terms of service or a license document. Many people tend to make fun of the developers speaking a different language, without realizing, that they do the same in their respective field. I think clear communication is important, but you can't expect anybody to write tutorials aimed for every audience. Learning is hard and it takes time to navigate through all the buzzwords and terms, but that's what learning something new requires.
  6. Not a big company, however:

    - uv (went from pipenv to poetry to uv), which was the right decision imo.

    - ruff (replaced black)

    - PyCharm, but some people use vscode or neovim.

    - mypy for type checking, which I am not 100% happy with. One experienced developer swears by mypy, thats the reason we haven't explored alternatives.

    - 'just' as task runner

  7. I get this error on Firefox 90.0.2 on Debian 10. It works in chrome though.

    [error: RuntimeError: abort(Error: Couldn't load https://phiresky.netlify.app/world-development-indicators-sq.... Status: 0). Build with -s ASSERTIONS=1 for more info.]

    Other than that, is pretty awesome and exactly what I was hoping for.

  8. Hey, I have sent an E-Mail yesterday evening. Do you have a rough number, how long it takes on average before the mail gets burned?
  9. I used it recently to edit large video files around around 1h 1080p; Shotcut is rather slow and freezes often when editing big files. But nonetheless its a great project and I hope it will improve in the future.
  10. The author seems suprised that Jake Paul knows really well how to abuse social media and claims he is a genius. In my opinion, these mechanism are no secret. You dont have to be a genius to grasp them. Therefore you dont have to be afraid of him at all.
