It's not just the excessive number of merges that git pull creates – they also have the wrong orientation. Since pull merges others' commits on top of yours, the diff it creates is full of their changes but has your name on it, wh

You should add that to the "Show me" tour on the website, because currently it looks like the user has to check the box before they see the info, which seems like it would have more psychological friction than also having a (?) bu

It's a learning technique where the software tries to show you a flashcard for review right before you would have forgotten it otherwise. So each time you see it, it will be longer until the next time you see it. That way, you're

Linguists have been working on a formal syntax for natural language for more than a hundred years and still haven't succeeded completely. I'd say formal logic is a language, not the reverse. You have to take away a lot of what we do with la

He didn't attack arguments based on usage, just outdated usage. The point of syntax is to be understood, not to prove you are educated. I'd hope you know what I mean when I say 'different than'. Language is going to change no matter what; b

Did you pretend like you were talking to a real person? I could see the conversational style that Siri supports breaking down some of the awkwardness of this. I would feel less awkward saying "Hey Siri, what's the weather going to be like t
