    That was the intended audience for the comic at the time, though.

    CAD was very much immature nerd humour (as was the style at the time), and it’d be inevitable that a sudden tonal whiplash to a serious tragedy around a miscarriage, out of seeming nowhere, would be received poorly.


  • Although now that I think about it, that could have been the intention here but not automatic, if that’s why 5k+ files were staged without the user explicitly staging them. Extra tragic if that’s the case.

    From the git discussions around the issue, it wasn’t that the files were automatically staged, but that the “discard all changes” feature invoked a git clean, and also deleted untracked files.

    Since OP’s project wasn’t tracked, it got detonated.

    At the same time, OP seems a layman, and might be coming from things like Microsoft Word, where “Discard all changes” basically means “revert to last save”.

    EDIT: After reading the related issues, OP may have also thought that “discard changes” was to uninitialise the repository, as opposed to wiping untracked files.

    Got bored and looked it up, and there aren’t, surprisingly. At least not in the 2019 revision of the Major League Baseball rules. But they do define what a ball is, and isn’t, and a baby is not considered a valid ball (3.01).

    But at least according to Rule 5.01©(1), if part of the baby gets on the batter, they might be considered “hit by pitch”, and therefore eligible to advance to first base. (It would be considered a ‘dead’ ball, which is funny, given the context.)

    The rules aren’t written expecting the ball to break into bits upon impact, so it’d depend on it actually happening to get precedent.

    But at least going by 4.01(a,e), it’s the umpire’s fault for providing an invalid “ball”, and they might have to clean up, since they’re tasked with replacing the “ball” if damaged.
