Is the manager of that fund really "top talent?" How hard is it really to make 25% off of $1.6 trillion? I'll bet you could do it. Also, that's a very different job than working at a hedge fund. Hedge funds have to at

You'd think so, right? Look up why corporations started providing insurance to their employees. Look into why your compensation is not just a salary, but salary, bonuses, stock (options or RSU's), etc.

Wow, people used to nearly worship Seth Godin, it's pretty refreshing to see a whole lot of disdain for this article here :-) I think there's something to his point about marketing. There probably is a way for companies to pay a

Am I the only one left with a deep distrust of ChatGPT? It still lies ("hallucinates"), doesn't it? And no, I will not accept a rebuttal that says, "well everyone lies" because no, not everyone is as confidently w

So that started very recently in the history of IPv6, no? And if IPv6 is so awesome, how are they convincing people to pay for IPv4??

"Maybe the little bit of extra friction when you do want to push a branch is worth it for all the times you do not have to consciously move a branch backwards to avoid pushing changes you are not yet ready to share." Very True. Th

People, IPv6 was introduced 28 years ago! For some reason it is not catching on and probably never will. Let’s try something else. EDIT: my take on IPv6 is this. In the early 2000’s I wanted to run a web server at home. Figuring out how

"even though IPv6 is such well established tech" It's actually not, and I think you learned that, and why it's not, in this process. Sorry.

We have all been using physical keys for our homes and cars our whole lives. Physical U2F keys for digital authentication are basically the same level of convenience and actually very very secure: no shared secrets, not copyable, not forge

“ But LEGO trains are not model trains (my goodness), they're toy trains - a completely and unrespectable thing.” I love this condescending sounding distinction, it’s actually very accurate! When I was 12 or 13 I had an uncle that was

All of you complaining about space, you just need to move to the country. I hear real estate in Missouri, Alabama, etc. is pretty reasonable.

Modular is how they’ve been doing it forever, just that a single module is roughly a 6 foot long table (my uncle did this, not me, so I don’t know the exact dimensions)

Really? How much value would you put on that actually? How would you price that if you were selling it? Would I get a little refund for each mistake I find and have to correct?

patch is a program that operates on diffs, which are also sometimes called patches, confusingly. Your reply seems to be conflating patch the program with diffs (AKA, patches)

I wish mercurial had won and we were all using it instead of git. I used hg exclusively from 2009-ish to 2016-ish and I still believe it has the better UI (but not perfect). I will say that git made mercurial better over the years, and qu

A couple things. That blog post shows the case of rebasing a single commit and so yes, it doesn't talk about interactive rebase that lets you reorder and edit commits, and it doesn't talk about rebasing multiple commits. In the c

Sorry, when I think of applying diffs I think of using the patch command that literally takes a set of files and a diff and applies the diff to the files. patch doesn't know any history and doesn't do 3-way merges. In my mind a

Hmm. Are we both talking about Mercurial branches and not maybe bookmarks or something different? It's been a while since I've used mercurial but from what I remember the branch name is recorded as part of the commit? I'm n

That's going a bit far. Git is heavily optimized for speed. If the implementation changed the UI could possibly stay the same but users would notice. Now, aside from that I think I generally agree with what you are saying. Git'

Even the fact that it's snapshots (but possibly compressed) is an implementation detail. I actually really like the generalized "smallest/fastest/simplest way to create new file from old file" explanation. "F

It's not the reality. It is a 3-way merge of each commit you are rebasing, not just applying diffs. Except sometimes when I'm resolving conflicts git mergetool doesn't seem to supply 3 files to kdiff3 (just two) which reall

Does this explanation help? http://bryan-murdock.blogspot.com/2022/12/git-rebase-explain... Rebase is really a merge (actually one merge per commit you are rebasing). At least it should be. With mercurial it rea

If you don't like losing branch names then I'm genuinely curious what you think is wrong with Mercurial's solution?

Wow, I just realized that I've been playing around with git and mercurial for nearly 17 years! And people are still confused about git! That's amazing. I still love that it's distributed, fast, and it handles branches and

There are a lot more paper sizes in the world than just the ones mentioned here. Look up Hagaki, for example. Also, if you cut Tabloid in half you get letter, so it's not complete arbitrary. Things I learned working on printers at HP
