Sure, but it won't successfully connect to a real device unless you somehow know to also set `programs.adb.enable = true`.

git bisect will traverse both parents of a merge commit no problem. Did you try? In your situation I'd prefer merges because: if commit X used to have parent A, and you move it over to parent B, it gets a new commit hash and a version

Interesting fact, but is it really necessary to go to those lengths? Surely something like a handgun or detonated explosive would be cheaper and just as effective (though less fun). I don't think this use case needs the vehicle to be a

I'm not a heavy jj user. But as I understand it, git-rerere is bolted on top and not well integrated. It just stores resolutions locally on each machine in .git/rr-cache. You need extra steps to share resolutions between contribut

Both those bands go hard and I'd never heard of either. In the spirit of your last paragraph, if you have any other favorites, I'd love to hear them!

fwiw this isn't an official gov.uk blog post. I mistook it for one at first too... I only double checked once I stumbled over the "advertising people being bastards" line.

NamedTuples are great, but they let you do too much with the objects. You probably don't want users of your GitHubRepo class to be able to do things like `repo[1]` or `for foo in repo`. Dataclasses have more constrained semantics, so I

Exactly this. There's some good stuff in MV3, but Google decided to take the opportunity to smuggle in some self-serving changes, similar to how Congress likes to sneak controversial laws under the radar as part of unrelated bills*. *
