  • Baby-Transfem here, started HRT literally last week:

    Until last friday I was suicidal, constantly depressed and full of self-hate I couldn’t understand.

    Since I got my first dose estrogen my mental health drastically improved (as did some other hormone-related body functions that only need the hormones in my blood but not necessarily a prolonged exposure).

    I learned from my doc that some transpersons have a brain structure of their non-assigned sex and then show exactly my pattern of relief; meaning my brain was actually born to be estrogen- instead of testosterone-dominated. (which seems to be based on the hormones oned mom exposed one during 3-4th and 10-14th week of infancy. One periods influences the gender of the brain, the other the sex of the general body)

    So while I see where you are coming from, and I heavily prepare myself for all the sexism that will probably bring me back to earth as soon as I visually feminize; I can attest that HRT improved both drastically for me (for now)



  • the is_even package does not provide much worth indeed because it simply negates is_odd and thereby all its benefit.

    It’s dependency is_odd on the other hand provides at least some additional checks (it also checks if the value is a valid integer below the max int value)

    And while I would indeed see uses for such methods (especially with the other checks, no simple oneliners) in some cases, especially in testing: This is stuff you write yourself, throw it in a e.g. NumberUtils class and everything is fine. You do never depend on an external library for that. The benefit (not spending a few seconds to write it) does not outweigh any of the drawbacks that come with external libraries.


  • How you could somewhat rebase manually (to understand the effect; or because you like to handle the merge conflicts more granular or be more selective):

    We assume we have the branch “Feat” which was started on an old version of “Main”, and now want to rebase it:

    • Rename “Feat” to “Old” (does not happen during rebase, but we kinda need it for this demonstration)
    • Create “Feat” at the newest (or wherever you want) commit of “Main”
    • Cherrypick all commits from “Old” into “Feat”

    Et viola - you kinda manually rebased “Feat” on “Main”





  • Guess the difference is what you grew up with and therefore intuitively prefer:

    • allegedly american thinking: This baby sucks X gallons. Let’s see how far I can get with it

    • allegedly non-american thanking: I need to drive roughly X 1/2 hundred kilometers, and that will burn that much fuel.

    Why is the wrong version always the one that is posted.

    The (in my eyes) correct (and iirc original) version is:

    • Git commit
    • Git push
    • Get out*

    *as someone pointed out (and I remember it as well, but thought I rembered it wrong and corrected it, shame on me in this context) the last point may be originally “git out”


  • The important parts are paint and maintenance.

    Give a commie block a fresh coat of paint every decade or so and they can look good (though I just don’t like flat roofs. But that’s personal taste.)

    But while a somewhat run down european style house can still have some charme for longer (guess I’m biased here) a run down commie block in gray and with cracks in the facade will quickly start to look depressing.

    And as they are often chosen for cost reasons inside capitalistic environments, they are often neglected.

    So, the problem is not commie blocks, but how they are maintained. And as often we tend to search for the extreme examples if we (dis)like something.
