Of course! The term you might wanna start off googling is "curvature of manifolds". What's even neater than "3d thing curving in 4d space" is that these notions can be made precise also without the "in [whateve

This is the one thing I, too, struggle with with sr.ht. I keep on using it, but I can't wrap my head around why this is supposed to be a good way to do it.

I think you should take a class or two on quantum mechanics before making assertions like these.

Indeed - I was also surprised by this. One possibility, which I hope is true, is that the authors are funded for something else (some actual research). If they spent a few hours of their workday to throw this together, they might be obligat

It's possible to have a need for something even though that thing is not necessary. "Oh man, I really need a nice dinner right now" is impossible for you unless that dinner consists of the absolutely strictly minimum necessar

Of course it isn't necessary. It's just extremely useful. Of course it rewrites history, and I abhor rewriting shared history, but it's extremely useful to be able to rewrite your own private history!

With only push, pull and branch, how do you refer to an old version? Hence commits, or something like it, are needed. And do you seriously not see the need of rebasing? Furthermore, you seem to mistake git's distributed nature for some

My understanding is that those shared global models are of somewhat lower fidelity.

Yr (Norwegian word meaning drizzle rain) is indeed truly excellent, but it should be noted that while its coverage is global, their forecasts outside of Europe are based on lower-accuracy models.
