Luckily you can turn it off and use the standard 'add' workflow. I did that almost reflexively when I started trying to use jj. (snapshot.auto-track)

However, over time, and once I got the .gitignore fully set up for bigger projects, I've come around on re-enabling autocommit for more of my repos. It does flow pretty naturally once you have an established process. I find it enables both better 'undo', and more seamless context-switching.

You can also set a more specific snapshot.auto-track on a repo or user basis for personal tooling conventions that don't make sense to gitignore.

For me it was done as a part of a series of images, all focusing on imaging the injured finger and getting other stuff out of the way. The tech was very particular about how everything was oriented and twisted. Something like this.

Serious answer - I'm not a medical professional, but I've hurt a finger recently. This is one of the standard positions for x-raying a hand. Splays out all the fingers while leaving them supported for stability.

Here's a link to the actual paper, free to read. Notably, the paper starts with the assumption that other studies have already identified a link between environmental factors and heart disease. The focus is on how useful it is to collect that data through street view analysis as opposed to say sending someone out to survey a neighborhood. Also if image analysis can identify interesting environmental factors that researchers may not have identified previously. I can't comment on their statistics, but they at least claim to be looking for the environmental affect by accounting for age, sex, race, income, and education.

It worked great for me years ago, but all the US-based banks I use have since killed off their OFX Direct Connect programs.

In case you are unaware, make sure to override DNS on any web browsers or other programs that might be skipping OS configured DNS servers to use hard-coded DNS over HTTPS servers.

If you're running your own DNS resolver you can hint this to some applications in your network via a canary domain

So obviously this is a very confrontational post, but tone aside, I kind of get it. I think it's good that the author is up front and has made an explicit decision that they don't want to put in the effort to build a public community around their software. They're providing it as-is as a service to the public and they even indicate that they are open to other groups forking and putting the work into building a community. And crucially I'm not seeing an expectation that the community contributes back. I don't think there is anything wrong in deciding where your interests and limits are, and I've seen other open-source projects die or rot when the maintainer runs out of time or loses interest, but without this being clearly communicated.

I agree with you that I personally wouldn't try to contribute to a project like this since I also have no interest in building a community myself, but at least the project is up-front and clear about all this.

Feels like everyone I know has eventually ended up with their own copy. Hands down my favorite coop board game - it does a good job of minimizing the problem where one person effectively ends up playing for the whole table. Plus as you said the flavor is great.

Wow, I’ve walked around that crater before, crazy to see it all lit up, especially the night shots on the livestream.
