today i thought it would be cute to push a branch with a "λ" in the name and it broke our entire build system for an hour while we tried to figure out how to remove the ref from git

I've definitely written commit messages with emoji in them without problems, and as far as I can tell this should be legal in branch names as well. Sounds like there's a problem with your build system?

Is there a word for people who come into a development environment suggesting things as if they're mana from heaven and nobody had ever thought of them that just happen to coincide with their previous jobs and things they just happen to be comfortable with?

It's incredibly frustrating.

I dunno, I�m always reminded of the long term volunteers of the ship I used to work on, really really well versed in the standard way we do it on our ship, but absolutely unaware that the way we do things is not even close to universal, and all they�d have to do is visit even one more ship to be disabused of the notion.

our new database dude is starting to really piss me off

"why don't we have schema of our database somewhere"

why don't you, dense gently caress, pull your prehistoric head out of your rear end and learn a few new things, such as "how to generate database schema diagram you can conveniently navigate in under 10 seconds with tools that were provided to you on day one" or "how to communicate with colleagues from other offices"

and that last comment relates to a guy who thinks there is no difference between working remote and on-site

yeah it was. it was something in java/jenkins that choked on the encoding. probably the git plugin.

couldn't figure out how to remove the drat ref -- deleeting the branch remotely and locally didnt do it so we just killed the workspace and it was all good.

there's apparently a setting you can turn on that will fix it but i dont see any reason to have cute / annoying to type branch names, so.

at one place i worked, every time we got a new manager that oversaw the production department, the first thing he wanted to do was move all of our hosting to a new service provider. there was never a problem with our existing provider, but they always suggested we move, and they always recommended rackspace. i think it was just the easiest way for them to commandeer a meeting in their first week

maybe it�s a function of other good emulators being available

TOS using a format similar to a.out is good because it looks like it�d make Franz an easier port

seeing things about major and minor devices in the Franz source makes me nervous though

I found some info online that says you can add a second header to a TOS executable that TOS ignores but lets binutils treat it as an a.out executable too

I forget what I broke but I think it was making a branch foo/bar then later someone made a branch foo

ya branches are stored as literal files with the head sha. So if a foo/bar exists some file systems get upset when you try to make a foo. Or maybe its git internals being dumb. either way yeah branches are files.

this is our 8 developer teams, all of them. one team had hired a guy for testing aeons ago, and he didn't fit in the team and everyone hated it, so now no one even thinks about testing.

they just push untested code to code review, and if it passes - deploy

good news: I have a GCC 4.6 that produces TOS executables now

nope, he uses it only for the asserts
