But the majority of Git users are not in this situation: they simply write code, often on a single branch for months at a time. Git is a 4 handle, dual boiler espresso machine – when all they need is instant. Interestingly, I don’t think this trade-off is inherent in Git’s design. It’s simply the result of ignoring the needs of normal users, and confusing architecture with interface. “Git is good” is true if speaking of architecture – but false of user interface. Someone could quite conceivably write an improved interface (easygit is a start) that hides unhelpful complexity such as the index and the local repository. The fundamental promise of any version control system is this: “Once you put your precious source code in here, it’s safe. In the traditional open source project, only one person had to deal with the complexities of branches and merges: the maintainer.īurden of VCS maintainance pushed to contributors Several ways a committer can irrevocably destroy the contents of a repository: You can make any changes you like, and you can always get it back”. Downs Linda Shea twice, hot seat and finals, to claim title It was a very active weekend for ladies’ pool across the country. Over the Oct.15-16 weekend, Texas held two ladies events while Florida held a Cues for the Cure fundraiser for breast cancer research. Intent on not being left out of the ‘females on the felt’ fun, the state of Delaware held its 1 st Annual Ladies 9-Ball Championships. It was replete with well-known and respected women who’ve been plying their trade in the regional and national tour fields for many years, including the woman who went undefeated to win it, Tina Malm, and runner-up, Linda Shea, who’s as, if not more well-known for being at the helm of the J. Pechauer Northeast Women’s Tour for as long as a lot of female competitors can remember. The event drew 28 entrants to Milford Billiards in Milford, DE.Īs Shea has begun a process of turning over the reins of the JPNEWT to Briana Miller, officially in 2023, she’s ‘getting out’ a bit more these days, appearing away from the JPNEWT tables and testing her mettle at other tour and independent events. In particular, she’d been noticing that there’s a lot of money being offered in barbox competition. “I took 2 nd in an 8-Ball, Jack & Jill tournament at Brews & Cues (Glen Burnie, MD) recently and won $4,000, so I decided that I was going to investigate these barboxes.” “In this (Mid-Atlantic) area, everything is going barbox,” she said recently. She was runner-up in this past weekend’s 9-ball event, only her second time playing on a barbox table, and will be playing in another Jack & Jill barbox event this weekend. She “enjoyed it very much,” she said of her experience at Milford Billiards, while noting that since a great deal of her tournament experience has played out on 9-ft tables, she’s having to make adjustments to the smaller, 7-ft tables. “It’s totally different,” she said, “like a completely different game. There are a few things that are different bank shots are a little different, you can’t do three-rail shots the same way and you have to take some of the power out of your game, shorten your stroke. “I’m having to learn how to dumb down my stroke,” she added, “and it’s renewed my interest in learning how to downplay my game to accommodate the smaller table. Like Shea, Malm has a spent a lot of her title-winning career playing on 9 ft. tables and finds herself engaged recently in more 7 ft. “It seems like I’m playing a lot more barbox pool,” she said, “but I’ve been a big table player for most of my career.” match play because there’s a lot more of it here on the East Coast. Originally from San Diego, Malm got her start on that side of the country, winning a lot of her early titles on that side of the country. She was 1995’s Women’s Western Regional 9-Ball Tour Champion, 1999’s California State Women’s 9-Ball Champion and 2005’s Arizona Women’s Billiards Tour Champion, to name just a few.
