OP said it was to notify you when an alarm went off, not when it ran out of batteries.

You seem content to entirely gloss over the issue, which isn’t the pros/cons of a particular writing style, it’s that the maintainer could have said ANY of the things you said, but he didn’t

If I was the maintainer, I too would probably reject the PR because it didn’t remove the gender entirely.

Cool, but that isn’t what happened here. The PR was closed immediately because the maintainer considered using gender neutral pronouns “personal politics” - he had ample opportunity to clarify his stance, or simply comment ‘resubmit in passive voice’, but he didn’t. Clearly the problem wasn’t the active voice, it was the summary of the change, because when that exact same PR was re-submitted much later with a commit message of ‘Fix some minor ESL grammar issues’, it was accepted with no discussion

As an aside, I absolutely disagree with the use of passive voice. It’s more verbose, and harder for the reader to comprehend. It’s why every style guide (APA, Chicago, IEEE, etc) recommends sticking to active voice, especially in the context of ‘doing things’.

If goes against established norms here

What’s the established norm here. All people compiling software by source are male?

he said politically motivated changes aren’t welcome

What’s politically motivated about changing “he” to “they”. As you said, gender doesn’t apply here, so the neutral word is literally preferable.

Yes, I’m sure that PR would have been accepted instead /s

But you’re right, it doesn’t matter at all, the reasonable thing to do would have been for the guy to spend 3 seconds clicking the accept and merge button, or 6 seconds making your change. instead he wrote a comment stating that inclusive language has no place in his project

Really?

This screams “women not wanted” to me

Wonder if that includes Uber eats?

This may be the Canadian in me, but my municipal dump literally has a spot for people to bring these (and other pressurized gas canisters) for safe handling and recycling

I was trying to say the cost savings of packing lunches is not absolute, and is dependent on the opportunity cost a person places on time spent at home cooking.

But I see now that you are just incapable of the critical thought necessary to deduce meaning beyond the concrete text placed in front of your eyes

you’re not going to convince me that eating out for lunch every single day is even remotely comparable in cost to half-decent meal prepping.

I’m trying to point out that the premise is flawed because you are assuming there is no opportunity cost associated with time spent meal prepping at home. If I make $50/hr at work and wish I had more free time at home, then it’s a wash, and I’m just as well off getting subway every day

You are missing the point, it’s not “4.5 hours a week of work” vs “absolutely nothing”, it’s 4.5 hours of work vs however long to have to work to pay for the ingredients, plus the time to make the food. If I spend an hour meal prepping and it takes me an hour and a half to pay for the ingredients, eating out at lunch only costs me 2 additional hours of my time, not 4.5

I also don’t know what meal you are preparing where chopping veggies, searing meat, packaging and cleaning up afterwards only takes 20 minutes. Even making chili, which is the prototypical “throw everything in a pot” recipe takes me north of an hour when all is said and done

And meal prepping is 2 hours of your week every week, plus however long you have to work to pay for the ingredients, which is probably another 2 hours

Some people like the taste and don’t mind paying for the convenience - full stop.

Also the vegetarian option at most fast food places is generally more expensive and worse tasting

You can leave it attached to the end of your headphone wire

If the latter is a concern, there are adapters that allow this as well, which, you can also leave attached to the end of your charging cord

be wealthy enough to afford a product that sounds almost as good as the wired version does for ten times the price

Or maybe just go buy a $5 adapter so you can use your wired headphones

You have airpod pros but spending $5 USB-Aux adapter is where you draw the line?

What does git add xxx do then

Git doesn’t automatically recursively add all files in the directory to the repository though - VSCode decided that should be the default behavior, while other editors (intellij) ask if you want to add newly created files to version control

The library is a mile from me too, that’s a 30 minute round trip, or I have to drive and pay for parking

I bought a $60 inkjet 10+ years ago. Every 3-4 years I buy a multipack of aftermarket ink for $30. Every 18 months when the cartridge dries up half full in my printer I chuck it knowing the $5 of ink I just wasted saved me $400 in billable hours

1. if I didn’t have a printer I would need a standalone scanner, which costs almost the same amount

2. Driving to Staples to print a $0.10 page wastes $50 worth of time and gas

A cheap printer pays for itself very quickly.
