Unfortunately it's part of a build system, so I can't rename it - it has to be stack.yaml

I can't set it to work on both because I need these lines on my system:

nix:
enable: true

and those lines don't work without nixos.

I can't use the global gitignore because I have stack.yaml in other repositories that use stack, and I have to commit the file in those.

and the .git/info/exclude file doesn't seem to work

I'm working in a repository made by someone else, and it includes a build file.

This build file should NOT change upstream, however in order for it to build on my system I needed to make some OS-specific changes to the file.

Is there a way to tell git "hey, don't commit this file, and just leave it the way it is" without either removing my modifications to the file or sending my modifications upstream?

I think the organising sheet turned into a todo list, and todo lists never work

Well the organising sheet (first image) didn't work out – I didn't use it for a month.

But the "fill in a dot when you successfully do a task" sheet (second image) has been working well

(no image descriptions because I don't have the energy right now, and they're very visual organisation systems)

Sometimes, this happens: one post repeats itself into my feed forever, until it's all full up

wait hold on, there's not even a manual, these are compiling instructions

What does it do?

If you want to delete an empty folder, you might be tempted to use

rm -r

but this is dangerous - you could delete the wrong folder by accident and loose a lot of files.
Luckily, there's this command:

rmdir

which allows you to delete an empty directory, and will refuse to do anything if it's not empty!

... why is there a folder called ~ inside my home directory

oh my gods

I'm watching clips from Series 10 – it's the only modern series I haven't seen (it was broadcast last year).

And there's a point where they meet missy, and she's playing Erik Satie on a piano

Did you know: they didn't copy the footage from the previous week's cliffhanger scene for the start of the next episode. They re-performed the scene, on a new tape.

Earlier on, this was very obvious, but it's been much less obvious with the last 2 seasons!

The villain in The Invasion has a huge moving wall that hides a secret machine, and the wall takes several seconds to open or close. I'm surprised he hasn't been caught with it open

"yes, we saw 2 women walk into the building - one fair, one dark"

heck, you wouldn't hear that nowadays – people would think you're describing their skin colour!

I'm excited for Doctor Who next week...

(even though I'm 31 seasons behind in my watch through)
