For decades it has been ingrained in men that they are to be held to a very specific standard. Men don’t cry, men are strong, men have to take care of everyone else, stop your whining, I’ll give you something to cry about, be the alpha male, that’s “gay”, strength, weakness, and so on.

My father, and grandfather, both grew up with a code of silence. Feelings weren’t talked about, but relayed through their wives; except anger. That was given directly through corporal punishment (hand or belt).

I was always “emotional” growing up. I cried “like a baby” over “nothing”. No one ever came to check on me, or console me, during any of my “fits”. In fact, there were times I was ridiculed for it (sometimes by family members).

When I was 19 my grandmother died. I was really close with her; she was the only one who ever came to my aid and defended me. It tore me up so bad I could barely talk without breaking down. I was told multiple times that I shouldn’t be so upset, and that I was overreacting (by my family). Everything came to a head when all at once my cousins, aunts, uncles, and even brother yelled at me because I was being selfish and unreasonable, and insensitive to my grandfather because “he just lost his wife”.

Oh, and apologies are for “pussies”.

Anyway, it’s not really about me. I wanted to paint a picture for you as to why I’m lonely. Do with that what you will.

That makes cents. Just don’t let the other naysayers tarnish what you’re trying to do.

Yes. Thankfully in my experience I’ve only dealt with this once or twice. But it’s a pita every time.

I’ve tried switching macOS to a case sensitive file system, but not all programs can handle it (at the time it was Photoshop).

That’s called a workaround. No end user should have to rely on a workaround as a solution to a bug; and make no mistake, it’s a bug.

I’m probably going to get downvoted to Hell and back, but someone’s gotta say it: that’s a git problem, not Windows.

First of all, I agree that case-insensitive file systems suck. It makes things inconsistent, especially from a development standpoint.

But, everyone has known that Windows (and macOS) use case insensitive file systems. At least for Windows, it always has been that way.

Git was written in Linux, which uses a case sensitive file system. So it’s no surprise that its internals use case insensitive storage. Someone ported it over to Windows, and I’m sure they knew about the file system differences. They could’ve taken that into account for file systems that are case insensitive, but chose not to do anything to safe guard Windows users.

But until the day that somebody fixes Git, everybody who is not using case sensitive file systems needs to care more about how they name things (and make sure their team does too). Because fuck everyone else, right?

Pennsylvania at least doesn’t play. They know what they want and go for it. New Hampshire is preparing…

I’m really concerned for Connecticut and Wisconsin. Someone needs to check on them.

The better question is why management is giving you flack? That’s the issue. Not your coworkers with kids.

Tomato / toh-mah-toe.

They are both bad people who got to where they’re at by exploiting people in one way or the other.

Aside of their nationality, how would you consider them different?

For anybody who buys off of Amazon, don’t forget about www.camelcamelcamel.com to check pricing history.

Yes, I am; when I’m not being called names and accused of saying things I never said.

And I guess dictionaries aren’t your thing either.

I was being sarcastic.

Hm. Would this really be such a bad idea? Let him have his cartoon cabinet picks. Anything that’ll make him even more a laughing stock is nice. And it’ll be easier to fight back against a kook who thinks cartoons are real.

Instead of just doing what I want to do, I’m stuck either doing plumbing work to hold my values and pass them around, or I’m casting things back and forth where I know things are correct but the compiler doesn’t.

I hate this attitude.

Instead of doing what you want to do? Dude, unless you’re a hobbyist, you’re being paid to do what your company wants you to do; i.e., it’s not about what you want.

Stuck doing plumbing work? Yeah, nobody likes plumbing, but we all know it’s necessary. When you’ve got your proverbial shit backing up onto your floor because you cheaped out on plumbing, cry to me then.

If you’re casting things back and forth, you’re doing it wrong. Spend a day or two and build yourself a solid, consistent foundation, plan ahead, and you won’t be casting things back and forth.

And no, you obviously don’t know better than your compiler, you arrogant sack of sh…

Anyway, get over yourself already and just do your damn job better.

Those commit messages though 🤣
