I've had no problems at all with my Outback in six years other than replacing a set of tires and brake pads. That's it. Only thing I've done.

A lot of oil burning problems with the 2010+ engines were because of people not taking the break-in recommendations seriously.

good to know subarus are pretty reliable if you only drive 5k miles a year

[ASK] me about OS/2 Warp
We got hosed by assuming that warranties would be respected and parts would be available. Turns out the year of Forester we bought had a short run engine with a design flaw. because it sucked they stopped building it after like two years. because they all exploded, replacement blocks were really hard to find. it cost me ten thousand dollars to put a new motor in it. (and no we couldn't just give it back or let them repo, you get dragged into court and sued over that poo poo and I would have been down one vehicle AND out the money).

it's fine, it's whatever, i will never buy a car that doesn't have an engine that is super common ever again though.

the engine actually stayed together all right in mine, it was everything after the crankshaft that was a disaster.

I want to believe that the impending threat of nationwide mass evictions on the scale of seven digits will get the american public started on direct action but watching crisis after crisis turn from "hey this sucks let's burn something down" into "please sir may I have some more" in the span of two weeks makes me worry that all that it'll result in is a quiet footnote in a textbook 20 years from now about a curious and unexplained drop in the population of the united states in the year 2020

last week I had a complete breakdown from stress at my job and my manager said 'stop answering emails right now, call me tomorrow with what you want to do' and at which point they immediately granted my request for several weeks of time off and said that I should work from wherever in the country I feel the most comfortable, especially if I can be with family.

it feels extremely weird that I was mentally expecting anything other than this but many years of being told 'sign this paper acknowledging you're being put on documented coaching because you're late regularly. No we don't care that you take the subway, maybe leave home earlier' I don't know what to feel any more.

other things, like 'whitelist' and 'blacklist' i can get due to the whole subconscious white=good black=bad thing and also from a l10n perspective of 'oh yeah these are kinda colloquial terms that not everyone from everywhere will immediately understand like "allow" vs "block"'

"master" in and of itself is not an offensive term. there's no implied power dynamic in saying you mastered the guitar. describing a controller/executor system as a "master and slave" system is problematic.

trunk makes more sense than master just in context of a system that branches off a primary source

jenkins does bother me with this. i have to go out of my way to explain what the differences in types of nodes are without using their terminology.

at least redis changed it (and i updated our configs and then realized we were on too old a version and then broke production but that's another story)

agreed because at least it's the right intent building momentum

and thankfully we're at a point where so many of us are publicly recognizing and acknowledging that it is largely performative and needs to be backed by real substance. so insofar as it's accomplished that, that is objectively Good

i suspect that the reason why 'trunk' wasn't originally chosen was to not imply that development has to proceed with some special trunk, it is just a branch like any other.

possibly 'default' is the better term if one wants to preserve that, the only thing distinguishing it is after all that it is created by default, and it is the branch you by default are on when cloning the repo.

even if i think renaming code stuff is a bit patronizing, main is fewer characters to regularly type and is therefore better. every time i'm explaining how git works to someone i would just describe master as "the main branch" since master doesn't really fit and implies a relationship with the other branches that doesn't exist at any technical level

similarly i recently renamed "whitelist"/"blacklist" settings in a config file schema to "override"/"block" and the latter actually gives you an accurate indication of what they do

so if you want to die on that inaccurate names for things hill then go for it i guess
