Your daemon can be smart enough to know which are its own pages and prevent them from being swapped out. The Linux kernel also prevents its own text pages from being swapped out, so the solution exists and I don’t see why it doesn’t apply t

If I recall, if it fails to unlock, I mash the button a few more times, probably triggering some race condition, and the app is unlocked for the rest of the day.

That’s like the complete opposite advice. Chris said the lowest recommended swappiness is 1. I have it set to 100.

I used it a bit but it’s buggy: failing to unlock, or just tapping the button once for unlimited use. Eventually it completely stopped working.

What tooling are you thinking of that’s part of the language? I don’t think CPython ships with a type checker, does it? People typically use mypy or pyright and neither or these are part of the language.

How are you getting static typing without additional tooling?

It sounds possible, but insurance probably won’t cover it. So this super double ultra premium T1 support will probably be only for the people rich enough to not need insurance.

No it’s not. When the asset management industry says “information technology” they exclude the technology used for communication. That’s why VGT doesn’t invest in GOOG or META. AMZN is consumer discretionary so it’s also excluded.

That’s why fully AI written projects are only interesting to those who care only about productivity (i.e. business use cases) rather than the developer’s enjoyment and satisfaction. For my own sanity, I never allow AI to do everything. Eith

Well no. If you have home insurance, your insurance provider can deny you coverage based on the dilapidated appearance of the house. If you have renter’s insurance, it only covers your own belongings and won’t be affected. And as a renter y

A lot of small mom-and-pop landlords are certainly losing money. Especially when they buy properties as their own residence but later converted to a rental. The majority of the Bay Area housing market has basically zero properties that woul

There are plenty of psychological drawbacks as well. Consider for example that the fence between your house and your neighbor has become dilapidated. But your neighbor thinks it is fine and will not pay for a replacement. What do you do? Re

Oh and one more thing I forgot: in git a lot of operations require you to have a clean checkout. Otherwise you have to stash your changes first before doing that operation. With jujutsu’s model, there is no stashing. Every edit is already p

It’s funny that you think Dropbox is supposed to let you access lots of files without taking up tons of local drive space. I still think of Dropbox as a file synchronization tool, so taking up tons of local drive space is an expected behavi

I’m the opposite. I loved React (before its hook madness) but I hated JSX. I’ve been using a lispy language to write React since it first came out. Initially went with someone’s pet project and eventually switched to ClojureScript. If you a

Honestly it took me about two days before I just got used to it. You can change `git checkout blah` into `jj new blah`.

Ah but then I reword the commit message as I make changes to the commit. If the commit message does not tell the whole story, I change the commit message. It's much more convenient to change a commit message in git than to rename branc

If the big innovation over svn is merging for git, then the big innovation here is conflicts. I hate the fact that git requires you to stop everything and fix the merge conflict when you merge. I especially hate the fact that when rebasing

I collaborate a whole lot. In fact for solo development I use git because jj is overkill for it. Also by default jj prevents you from overwriting commits that exists on the main branch on the remote, but this is what I often do on solo proj

You don’t need easy named branches. Naming branches is a chore: since you already spend time writing commit messages, branch names are just a summarization of your commit messages but with more character restrictions. That’s why I always us

Not an issue. If you trade section 1256 contracts, the current tax code already requires you to report unrealized gains by calculating the gains as if they are sold on the last day of the tax year. Brokers have no issues calculating that an
