   Every galaxy is an apex in the PKI, with the apex of apexes being the hardcoded public keys for each one in the kernel. ~zod is not special (well, it's a tiny bit special, because it's the parent of things without parents).

   I don't feel those links serve your point. They illustrate the difference between good and "good", in the sense I meant in my comment, to me.

   Some bad software is fractally bad and you can't explain why it's bad because every part of it, at every level, is bad. I find that Postgres is fractally good in a similar way.

   And the documentation is good too! (And that means that it's good, not like most software with "good documentation" where "good" means that it has reasonable feature coverage.)

   Wow, they've really redesigned that site's look. Not sure I like it... the figures especially look bad.

   I think git usually sits around a -6 or -7.

   There's a deep tragedy in Thiel financing the lawsuit. The tragedy is that you apparently need a billionaire's backing to get any sort of justice against something like Gawker.

    I think the comment you're replying to might be using "documentation" to mean Stack Overflow. I really love the PostgreSQL manual.

    It's not the only way to use git effectively, but it's definitely the canonical one. I think a Chesterton's fence rule should apply to git: if you're doing something different from LKML, you should be able to clearly exp

    I've got a very non-statistics math background, but what you say suggests that there would be a nice way to visualize standard deviations two-dimensionally (since they arise from an L_2 norm), and that it's the one-dimensional &qu

    Thanks. Git superstitions bug me a lot because it shouldn't have to be this way.

    Excellent idea. The only thing I thought was "why not PowerShell", but XP compatibility is probably the reason. (It exists but isn't preinstalled for that version.)

    Then your comment makes no sense in context, because you replied to my complaint that people lose information by doing these giant squash merges and having no nontrivial graph structure in their main project history.

    By that I mean "hide from people without showdead", of course. (I have it on.) The question is "why do you move moderated comments from where they were to the top level?".

    Thanks. Now instead of abrasiveness it's abrasiveness without context. Is your software just not capable of hiding things without "detaching" them, or is there reasoning behind this incomprehensible moderation policy?

    Totally does (though your maintainer has to care about first-parentage order, which they should, and which should be enforced by the software but isn't - see Junio's blogpost "fun with non-fast-forward", or "fun wit

    I know the question is rhetorical, but the answer is that many people don't understand how to use git, and the preferred way of coping with this is to dogmatically declare some git feature (either branching/merging, or the vario

    Another "I like to deliberately lose information to no benefit because I'm bad at git" 'workflow' hits Hacker News. Something is deeply wrong with the ecosystem when people want to do things like this!

    "Multitasking is impossible" is seriously overgeneralizing from personal experience. It's just not true that it's impossible. It's certainly impossible for me - if my laptop is open, I'm not listening. But

    Portablity isn't even hard. Some maintainers just have a tendency to get huffy and say "but I've always used Linux, so all Linuxisms are correct" - I think this tendency derives from GNU's entirely deliberate use of

    But you detach things that are "bad", moving them to the top-level so they get more visibility and still disemboweling any discussions they were part of. I've seen some stupid moderation policies in my day, and this is defini

    I felt this comment was very much needed, but it would be even better without the racist cheap shot at the end. Some satire might get your point across better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ao6lSJG0Jnk

    Not another one. All good git workflows are different; all bad git workflows are bad in the same way - okay, one of the same two ways: superstitiously declaring important parts of the git model "bad" (merge commits are bad! reba
