Benro Polaris Cables Demystified

The Benro Polaris is a fantastically compact motorized 2-axis (or 3-axis with astro mod) electric tripod head with a very active user community.

One of the biggest sources of user confusion is the cables. All of the cables connecting to the Benro Polaris use the USB-C connector, but none of them are actually valid USB-C standards-compliant cables.

TL;DR - Use the Official Benro Cables Exactly as Documented

// Use Case:
//
// Say you have a bunch of decoupled components which access the same set of databases.
// Since database/sql does connection pooling it makes sense for the components to share instances of *sql.DB
// This package lets you do that with minimal code changes.

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.
