I tried jj, but I'm used to Sublime Merge. Doing version control in the command line was just too much repeated typing, as you keep losing information. In a GUI you always see the current state. You commit, it updates the display. A di

You don't need to switch from git to jj. You just try out jj on your git project and see if it clicks. If you don't like it, you just don't continue using it.

How dare these employees refuse a request from their better, for an entire week. Ultimately this is a hiring problem though. They should have tested more thoroughly for prompt obedience.

C++ is a gun with five triggers, one for each finger that holds the grip. That's what makes it so versatile and powerful.

Same here. Going through dozens of post-its feels super wasteful. Even more so the dozens of thermal printers that will be ordered as a result of this post, and might end up gathering dust on someone's attic in two weeks. Ultimately th

Such a fantastic project! Any presentation by Andreas is a great watch, especially this one. So good to hear that things are taking shape, and the browser seems to be coming along nicely. Also interesting to learn about FUTO. Seems like a c

I am taking a deep dive into inequality thanks to Gary Stevenson. He has a lot of educational videos on his channel. Highly recommended. Here's how I would sum up his main argument: Ordinary people have less money and can no longer aff

Well, to be honest that's where I cheated because I assumed that auto-format would fix it. In Sublime Text there was an addon that did that. I assume something similar exists for VS Code. To align the items manually I would Tab (or Spa
