Report: NHS doctor says she was 'strangled' by police at a protest to demand an ambulance for a critically ill hunger striker in a UK prison.

Footage shows police dragging the doctor on her back along the road by the hood of her coat, choking her:

"I was gagging & then I lost consciousness,” Olivia Brandon said.

so github lets you leave comments on commits, pull requests, issues, etc.

i think they should let you leave comments on code. then they can have an IDE plugin that shows the comments. and also you should earn some sort of redeemable points for writing comments.

so if you're trying to understand something like player.flags ^= (has_mp3() ? FLAG_MP3 : FLAG_OGG), you can hover over the 💬 icon and see that SourceCodeWizzzard2005 said "i think this is something to do with music? idk" and RonaldGustaffson said "This is some codes that makes to have MP3 play back on all of the Linux systems and Linux systems, but not Orc Vorpis on an Windows computers systems."

I recently read a comment that resonate with me. It said (approximately) "Any technology that existed when you were born is considered natural. Any technology invited before you're 30 is exciting. Any technology created after you're 35 is unnecessary or unwelcome." ....

Archiving Git branches as tags

Archiving git branches as tags

I have a spicy git alias that allows me to "archive" old git branches by converting them to tags, making them less visible across git tooling. # ~/.gitconfig [alias] archive-branch = "!f() { \ : git switch; \ local git_branch=${1:-$(git branch --show-current)}; \ git co main && \ git tag archive/$git_branch $git_branch
