Given opportunity costs, you could easily argue that it should have negative value.

It's also easy to point to the failures as evidence, but both innovative and boring companies have failures...it's just that innovative cos have the occasional success that makes up for the rest. (Hell, sometimes it's the sam

Cochlear implants are not technically reversible, iirc. They permanently destroy hair cells of the inner ear during surgery to make direct electrical contact, so removing them won't restore your pre-implant level of hearing. It's

Well, most of us don't have a plan B if the Earth is wrecked by pollution, but I guess if you beg Musk hard enough, he might invite you to Mars. We can either do drastic things now, or desperate things later.

Based on the long history of trying to price in externalities, bans are probably more effective. Just look at how many games are played with carbon "credits", and how little real impact they've had.

You have a point, but it's more like it's difficult to articulate, than a cult. I think of jj as the ultimate refinement of git. It's not revolutionary, in the sense that there's no must-have feature, but it's a dis

I like to phrase it as "jj enables everyone to be the git guru". The git gurus responding how they can do X/Y/Z don't quite realize that git is still cumbersome enough that most people never bother to reach their le

Yeah, I love jj, but I'm not a fan of that naming. It threw me for a loop for the first couple months. I'm not sure what happens, but I suspect a merge would create a single merge commit with the tips of the parents' historie

by KingMob 1y ago
That's still true in jj, too. But instead of commits, most of the time you're working with (the not greatly-named) "changes", which are a conceptual history of related commits. E.g., a single change ID points to the mo

I think the evergreen use case for interrupting a rebase is, your manager came over to ask if you can drop everything and look at this bug that $TOP_CLIENT is screaming about. Git worktrees suffice, but they're still heavier weight tha

It seems like a lot more than they "did exchange ideas". Arxanas, the lead dev of git-branchless, is also one of the major devs and maintainers of jj. He's active on the jj discord, and just last month put out a call on githu

They require extremely low cooling from the helium to achieve superconductivity. And with superconductivity, by definition, current flows without resistance; it continues even without energy, so turning off the power won't stop it. Nor

And yet, many wealthy countries have no worse problems with crime than the US, despite having a fraction of our police forces (per capita) and prison populations. The real naivete is thinking the US police force is the best policing model o

Homeopathy can be quickly disproved, because its core tenets violate basic physics. Expertise is not actually needed. Whereas type systems are complex enough that "a monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors, what's t

Some old colleagues from the Space Coast in Florida said they knew of SpaceX employees who'd mastered the art of pretending to listen to uninformed Musk gibberish, and then proceed to ignore as much of the stupid stuff as they could.

The point of my story that you're missing is that Hickey's confidence in giving a talk shouldn't be confused with knowing what he's talking about. > "Maybe Not" is a speech by an expert talking in his field

Heh. Hickey once debated with me at length about visual neuroscience, a subject I have a master's degree in and he doesn't. At no point did this stop him from confidently asserting things. I have to wonder if "Maybe Not"

"Sheltered take"? Your only concern about police malfeasance seems to be money. Many people have WAY worse concerns. There's a sheltered view here, but it's not the one you're thinking of.

As someone who lives in a SEA country, I'm 100x safer with a local cop who wants a few bucks at a traffic stop than with any American cop.
