  Any German speakers want to tell me if my instinct on this is correct?
  
  "Ganz kleine Nachtmusik" is the name of a piece of music by Mozart that was just discovered. (He later titled a piece "Eine kleine Nachtmusik")
  
  The English press about this is translating it as "Very little night music" which seems wrong? I feel like either "Quite small night music" or "Completely small night music" would be more accurate.
  
  When does "ganz" change from "quite" to "completely"? Is it ambiguous here?

  Easily rename your Git default branch from master to main - Scott Hanselman

  June 8th, 2020

  Nice and straightforward. Locally:

  git branch -m master main git push -u origin main

  Then on the server:

  git branch -m master main git branch -u origin/main

  On github.com, go into the repo’s settings and update the default branch.

  Thanks for this, Scott!

  P.S. Don’t read the comments.

  Why is it that I would introduce myself on a phone call by saying "Hi, this is Aaron", but it sounds absurd if I were to say that to your face?

  I’ve gotten through entire (admittedly short) conversations in dutch just by speaking german in a dutchey way. It’s not just a weird version of german though, they have some (adorable) words of their own too!

  We generally think about language as a THING: letters, sounds, signs. But little bits of silence or invisibility are found surprisingly often in language.
