Re: Auction (was LPW 2011 carpooling)

2011-08-20 Thread Mallory van Achterberg
From what I've heard from Max, auction is unlikely, except something
fun like Jos#235;'s pushups.

Some of us are pilots and at least in the US it's pretty
cost-effective (and massively more fun, and massive less hassle) with
a full plane for journeys of even ~500miles.

Sadly in the EU/JAA there are totally retarded rules about flying in
clouds (IFR) between countries which makes the flight too dependent on
dodgy northern European weather. Dirk's Time to spare? Go by air! is
spot-on there.

Quoting Job van Achterberg (j...@xs4all.nl):

Hi everyone,

First off, for those who attended, it was great to see you at
YAPC::EU::2011.

I've arranged to come to the LPW, but am wondering if any other Dutch
people following this list are attending. Perhaps we could carpool and
share transportation costs. I have no car, just a motorbike, and it'd be
quite the drive.


With
the car or motorcycle I now do it in 5, and I get the benefit of
stopping for food in Belgium.


Benefit? Has something changed?

Oh I dunno, unless something has changed recently, there is the issue of 
please join long downwind, you are number 15 to land.

Oh. Thanks for looking that up.

Given there's a mechanism for specifying default options in ~/.gitconfig
it's curious that it only works for some of them.

And it seemed so unlikely that Git can't do something that CVS can, that
I presumed it was just me not being able to find it!

He's just trying to confuse people again. Orthodox socials are the day 
after the first Wednesday of the month. Heretical socials are on the 
first of the month.

AIUI, that's the opposite — it's about dealing with whitespace when
applying patches, not pretending that whitespace changes don't exist
when generating diffs.

My suggestion would be to alias `git d` (or similar) to `git diff -b`,
leaving plain `git diff` unmolested.  But I realise that isn't quite
what you asked for, Smylers.
