That sounds a bit faffy. In solo or small team work git is often git pull, edit code, git commit -a, git push. With jj you have to fetch, start new space off a bookmark, edit code, commit it, update the bookmark and finally push?

There's also a huge cost for taking action about this especially in the US. You can easily get thrown out of school, have your career destroyed or be deported.

This assumes you have to spend any time or attention worrying. 1GB is plenty of memory for backend type stuff. And most VPSs allow increasing memory with a click of a button and a reboot.

$15 is not exactly zero, is it? If you don't need more than 1GB, why pay anything for more than 1GB? I recall running LAMP stacks on something like 128MB about 20 years ago and not really having problems with memory. Most current websi

The HN title is quite a strong claim, but it's nowhere to be seen in the repo. It seems to be fully prompt based, so the AI still can say anything it pleases. How well do these complicated prompt systems usually work? My strategy is to

The main effect of the treaty is that personnel mine production and trade has dramatically decreased, thus making it harder for (small) non-signatories to deploy too. International treaties tend to be always somewhat aspirational and are of

Whatever the reason, this will increase the likelihood of landmine casualties in the future. And not necessarily (only) in this area, but it weakens the treaty in general. Part of these kinds of treaties is to accept some additional difficu

Sadly demand for such heros may increase in the future. Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine and Finland withdrew from the Ottawa Treaty banning personnel mines. And probably more countries will follow.
