IMO the best is to merge main into your branch. Then squash the result into a single change and rebase onto main. This way you can merge in a "normal" way, removing the conflicts with main, but then your own change goes in cleanly

Parroting the administration's talking points and pretending they are beyond criticism shows a total lack of respect for the other users of HN.

The 2030s-2050s are going to have a poverty of cures. There are many diseases that we could have gotten closer to figuring out, and we're just deciding not to bother anymore. Thank you for pushing your line of inquiry as far as you cou

I come here to read interesting technology news, and most of the Doge stories are not interesting technology news. It would suck if HN were full of boring stuff that I can read elsewhere. I do care a lot about the current situation, and I k

A (well written) article about the technical side of protecting yourself from border patrol would probably make the front page.

It would suck for HN to devolve into politics news. Having a place to discuss and learn about tech topics is important. That's not to say I don't care about the ongoing crisis (I do!). But I have plenty of other places to read abo

And part of why it's a persistent daemon is because Java is slow to start up. I'll note that bazelisk is written in Go.

Takes 1.97s on my machine, which is a lot of time for just showing a help message. Maybe you have the setup where Bazel is staying alive in the background or something?

For one, Java programs always take too long to start, and that's not something you want in a program that's supposed to be interactive.

This great comment is another example of what's bad about Bazel: It has the least enlightening documentation. Bazels docs are thorough and useless. Every page you read assumes you already understand the concepts described on the page.

Great article, that gets the critique exactly right. The most frustrating part of Bazel is how shoddy the workmanship is. For example, Bazel throws away your analysis cache when you change flags that have nothing to do with what's bein

They make interest rate cuts to try to drive money into investment, but they're making those cuts now because money is already fleeing investments. It's like how sandbags are really useful at preventing floods from getting into yo

Airline credit card announcements on flights is a perfect example of what should be banned, but getting the law right is tricky. IMO it should be illegal due to using a system for safety announcements for non-safety profit related reasons.

I don't 100% disagree, but... Consider how Obama got piled on for a minor tweak to healthcare laws, and gets called a socialist for ever mentioning that maybe the rich aren't helping out enough. I've gotta be skeptical that B

Is there anything meaningful here? Like is there some kind of edit that matters? Could you try making your point directly? You seem to be expecting me to have the video memorized or something so I can pick out the difference from the transc

It's not that complicated. In 2016 America though Bernie was a crazy leftist, and didn't vote for him. He did pick up more votes than expected as a protest against Hillary, and he was just starting to get buy-in on his policies. T

You are linking to an LLM to support a factual point? And to Grok, an LLM controlled by a political operative?

Microservices keep happening because we are bad at managing teams who's output is a library. We lack the tools to measure the "impact" of libraries during performance reviews. We can measure the number of calls to a microserv

Ok, fair point on the nature of the feedback. I don't think the fee idea is very workable. The interview process already has a high amount of hassle on the employer side. Adding in collecting, holding, and returning some kind of fee is

Writing down the reason for not hiring someone is helpful. Sending it to them isn't. The reason is almost always "they did not appear to be good enough," usually around coding or problem solving. Very rarely is it something e

They kinda skip over it, but jupytext is underrated. You store the notebook primarily as text, and your version control handles it seamlessly.

Damaging or removing features should reopen the return window. Then they will be more careful about what they change.

The safe choice is not to build the factory. Even if you build the factory in the US to avoid tariffs on the goods you sell, did all your inputs also get built in the US? Are the tariffs on your inputs going to wipe out your profits? To bui

Well, the US has been the most prosperous country for a long time, so clearly something is working. Maybe the "empire" has nothing to do with it, sure, but I'd like to see you support your position instead of nitpicking other

How is it benefited these communities? They can get health insurance now, and Biden kicked off a manufacturing boom (as long as DOGE doesn't kill it). Sure, that's not enough to immediately fix everything, but it's steps in t

The saddest part is that Biden's infrastructure, manufacturing, and chips work would benefit them a ton. They cannot see cause and effect, and in the end they will get hurt the most.

I would like to see the trade deficit evening out, but even then, the deficit is ~0.6% of our GDP. Charitably, the intake of goods we do support keeps our internal economy extremely productive, so even at a deficit maybe it's worth it.

You asked this exact question last week and I answered it. If you are just going to ignore the people who reply to you, why bother commenting?
