What does this do that I can't do with mitmproxy?

Yeah, I disagree. I've read the Jujutsu documentation and a lot of praises for it, and its most compelling feature is a simpler UI compared to Git. There have been other VCS tools with arguably better UIs and feature sets than Git (Mer

Am I the only one who simply doesn't mind Git's CLI? Sure, it's rough around the edges, but I know those edges well. I sometimes do need to look up how to do something, but those cases are rare. Over the years I've accum

I gave it a try a few months ago, and wasn't impressed. About a quarter of the time it got confused about the commit it should squash into, and left the repo in a half-applied state. This inconsistency was enough for me to not trust it

Agreed. Because this decision has nothing to do with safety or low usage, like they claim. It's just another example of a corporation abusing their dominance to shape the web according to their interests.

It's truly troubling to see a trillion dollar corporation claim that the reason for removing a web browser feature that has existed since the 90s is because the library powering it was unmaintained for 6 months , and has security issu

What a ridiculously false thing to say. A human can ask an LLM to generate megabytes of garbage data in seconds. No human could ever reach that level of effectiveness.

That's a reasonable first step, but a human can just as well feed your questions to the LLM, and post the responses. So you really have to be vigilant throughout your interactions with the author, or, if the PR is unsalvagable, save yo

I agree, this is the way. To be clear: I'm not a mobile developer, and have only dabbled with it over the years, but I'm generally familiar with the stacks. If you want to simplify development of a cross-platform app, your work sh

You make several good points. I would push back on the idea that alien civilizations might somehow be more enlightened so as to avoid internal conflict altogether. Unless they were artificially designed by a creator who explicitly factored

I don't see such a niche use case as a design failure. By your logic, the lowercase "v" should extend even higher to meet the pipe. The caret has conventionally been higher for a long time, and IMO would look out of place mak

I agree with not introducing abstractions prematurely, but your suggestion hinges on the design of the S3 client. In practice, if your code is depending on a library you have no control over, you'll have to work with interfaces if you

Thanks for sharing! Your article illustrates well the benefits of this approach. One drawback I see is that property-based tests inevitably need to be much more complex than example-based ones. This means that bugs are much more likely, the
