  • I’m probably going to get downvoted to Hell and back, but someone’s gotta say it: that’s a git problem, not Windows.

    First of all, I agree that case-insensitive file systems suck. It makes things inconsistent, especially from a development standpoint.

    But, everyone has known that Windows (and macOS) use case insensitive file systems. At least for Windows, it always has been that way.

    Git was written in Linux, which uses a case sensitive file system. So it’s no surprise that its internals use case insensitive storage. Someone ported it over to Windows, and I’m sure they knew about the file system differences. They could’ve taken that into account for file systems that are case insensitive, but chose not to do anything to safe guard Windows users.

    But until the day that somebody fixes Git, everybody who is not using case sensitive file systems needs to care more about how they name things (and make sure their team does too). Because fuck everyone else, right?






  • It’s all in the wording. Everybody has problems (even those with no money). The saying is merely suggesting that having more money doesn’t fix all of your problems, but adds to them.

    If you want fewer problems, live below your means (easier said than done these days).

    Rich people tend to buy rich people things (e.g., Mercedes Benz, million $$$ houses, Gucci-level clothing, etc), so they also have rich people bills. They are buying things that are at or above their means.

    There’s a saying that I live by: an elephant for a nickel is only a good deal if you need an elephant and have a nickel. It helps remind me to not impulse buy stuff that I don’t need, merely because I can afford it and it’s novel.
