No one is aware of basic statistics. You see this comment on every poll which samples under a million responses (so every poll).

Synthetic primary keys like a unique integer ID assigned to a row are worse in theory - the id column isn't real data. They exist as a very common practical compromise for good reasons, but you should be aware you're compromising

You are replying to a satirical comment, I think.

Are you aware of how statements like these look to those on the outside of whatever particular good old boys club it is you're referencing here?

this isn't true about either the blog post (buys boardwalk and park place, purchases houses evenly on this complete property group) or the comment above (no houses or hotels are involved)

Yes, the authors of that document did an great public service in letting us point to an "official government standard".

Can you explain what your tool does to someone who knows what an interactive rebase is? I don't get much more from your blurb than "we reimplemented interactive rebase for some reason", but I'm sure you do something diff

if the commit name is more readily at hand, just name the commit "fixup! whatever". --fixup just does this for you since references are shorter and easier to type (it doesn't have to be a hash, it can be --fixup HEAD~2 or som

JSON mania has given me an appreciation for XML not having been so bad after all.

Do you think engineering is somehow less empirical and more abstract than science?

Make sure the text is well typeset (most importantly, short lines).

I really prefer light, but light theme makers always make them painfully low-contrast (I'm not 16 years old anymore, I can't read that) and, less importantly, have this horrible habit of making comments appear "greyed out&quo

No, your motherfucking website is not improved by jamming your pet design theories into it. This is why all these spinoffs are terrible, with the possible exception of https://bestmotherfucking.website/ which removed things

This just works because Google is at a more advanced stage of decay into content farm dystopia than Reddit is.

That is not something Github is doing, it's fundamental to how git works that different commits have different hashes - and rebasing creates different commits (they have different parents). Not rebase-merging would probably suit your w

And certainly, Graham's YC became mostly a finishing school for elite-college grads. The nonconformism talk is easier than the walk.

>but I do occasionally still hear people telling less-experienced developers that they should learn C to learn more about how their computer works. Your computer is not a fast PDP-11, all you will learn is how the C virtual machine works

Most people don't really use version control, they just use version control programs because they've been told they're supposed to. They might as well be using rsync. Most of them would benefit from learning to actually use i

I don't think you have understood the pushouts paper. Look at figure 4 again.

Well, you can't get a job with skill. You see a lot of women in e.g. university math departments, where jobs still aren't really skill-based, but are a lot closer to being that. In tech, where jobs are based on how similar you are

I can't really reply to this; it just isn't true, and the text is right there for anyone to read if they want to see for themselves.

No? The concept is that a unit of diffing (a line, or a tree node in your hypothetical tree-diffing approach) can be ambiguous until another patch resolves the ambiguity.

It wouldn't really make much of a difference, if any. For source files, anyway - more complicated diffing helps for files we consider just "binary" now but that are actually structured. Pijul's pushouts are unrelated - t

Patch theory VCSes are, IMO, very much not the future of VCS, but they're an important research project, and the future will have learned from them. Git is definitely the present of VCS, even if it was adopted for all the wrong reasons

The CLI is pretty straightforward. First, think of what you want to do, then do it. Consult only the man pages when performing the latter, never some random guy's blog or a confused Stack Overflow post. Clearing the confused Stack Over
