That's a good point, I think I will update my scripts to use this instead :)

Nice. That'll make things a bit smoother. Changing branches often trips me up when I would later `git switch -`.

by WickyNilliams 8mo ago
Hmm that might be nice actually. I like not conflating those two things, but as you say if the repo is already init'd then there's no chance it'll be used for the wrong purpose. In any case the main thrust was just to avoid e

I have a cleanup command that integrates with fzf. It pre selects every merged branch, so I can just hit return to delete them all. But it gives me the opportunity to deselect to preserve any branches if I want. It also prunes any remote br

You listed a handful of failed attempts that didn't come anywhere near to being successful. Where are the massive resources? What's the evidence for massive resources? And where's the evidence that these attempts were organis

Attempted assassinations by unidentified lone wolves, spread out over decades, are not "fascist" tactics. Obviously they are very bad for a political climate, but I think that's stretching the definition beyond any use. You o

Oh I don't underestimate him. It's been obvious he's dangerous from day 1. But being dangerous does not preclude being (seen to be) a fool.

What fascist tactics did they use to get rid of Hitler? If you're referring to his time in prison, he was put there because he staged a putsch. Beyond that, much of the establishment and industry tried to work with him using a softly,

No I don't think so. Broadly they hitched their cart to a genocidal madman. Their hubris convinced them they could maintain a steer on its direction. The centrists ultimately lost when the Nazis banned other political parties. If they

I hate this quote with such a passion. It's treated as some enduring wisdom passed down through generations. When it's from a 2016 book you have probably never heard of.

Same pattern played out in Germany. The centrists were more concerned with leftists than Hitler. Big business thought they could cosy up to him and keep him under control. Opportunistic collaboration for self preservation or personal benefi

Yes of course this could've been done in photoshop. But a convincing Photoshop effort takes someone with years of experience working for likely hours. AI can churn out this kind of image in seconds, operated entirely by someone with ze

Apologies I shouldn't have said "silly", that's too charged. More I don't think it's a good argument or justification. I think the rest of my comment outlines, along with counterexamples, why I think that. Maki

This is a silly appeal to nature. But to address the point. There may be base instincts to which we are all subject. But that doesn't mean we should embrace them or proudly wear them as a badge. Violence is entirely natural. And yet mo

Yeah this is one conspiracy I believe. There's this narrative at the moment that the UK is some dystopian hellhole where you'll get arrested for basically anything you post online. It's very pervasive to the point that fairly

Yes, exactly by grinding people down. Making it exhausting to discern the truth, until it's not worth the energy exertion to do so. Also perhaps it is not meant to convince Scottish people of anything, but maybe to make English people

Funnily, I felt the opposite when I learnt to read music a few years back - that even though I was extremely slow, I could now (theoretically) read and learn to play any music, just slowly! You'll get faster and better with practice, a

Not even sure what argument you're making here. A web component bundles one or more of: markup, styles, functionality. You can't do that with just html such that it's easily consumable in all the ways I mentioned.

Honestly I couldn't care less what the original proposal said! Things evolve. Utility is found in unforeseen places. That's the nature of ~ everything . Personally I'm not a fan of that kind of component but not aligning with

They don't need to be leaf components to still have this strength. I've worked with design systems which have a <my-layout> component near the root which defines sidebar, header etc slots. This still works nicely with react,

The major downside of using light DOM is that elements cannot compose neatly since there's no delineating between what the component itself rendered and child content. When you need to re-render your component, how does the component k

What makes custom elements good is inrerop. I can use them in react, Vue, angular, svelte, solid, or just plain ol' server rendered html. I can switch out the internals entirely for a WC lib, or not, with nobody knowing or caring. This

Oh huh I didn't know details supported that naturally. I'm guessing this wasn't always the case and my knowledge is simply outdated. TIL!

by WickyNilliams 10mo ago
One drawback of details was that cmd+f search wouldn't play nicely when the details was closed. But now there's a hidden="until-found" you can put on child content, along with an associated event. So you can open the det
