But what does that bring? Your code won't compile as long as you don't fix the conflicts, so anyway you have to fix them when you rebase, right?

Yeah I think that dvorak is a good example, too. I don't get the mechanical keyboard one, though. I am fine with any keyboard, I just like my mechanical keyboard at home. Just like I am fine with any chair, but ideally I would have a c

I think the "incompatible" was more in the dvorak sense, which I believe is that whenever you are on another computer, it most likely won't have dvorak. For jujutsu, it's fine on your own computer, but you probably have

Agreed, but I wonder it if matters in practice. It's not like one can boycott bitcoins by serial number or something, is it?

No no no no, I can't let that go. Sending astronauts around the moon has nothing to do with "knowing more about the moon". We don't need people up there to observe the moon. In fact, it's a lot easier and better t

Actually, signing was one of the annoying parts of jujutsu for me: I sign with a security key, and the way jujutsu handled signing was very painful to me (I know it can be configured and I tried a few different ways, but it felt inherent to

I tried to use QubesOS and I learned a lot. It was a fun experience. But not having any kind of hardware acceleration made it unusable to me for my Desktop computer. It was a couple years ago, QubesOS did not support GPUs, and it felt like

To me, it makes jujutsu look like the Nix of VCSes. Not meaning to offend anyone: Nix is cool, but adds complexity. And as a disclaimer: I used jujutsu for a few months and went back to git. Mostly because git is wired in my fingers, and gi

One thing is that on mobile OSes (iOS and Android), the apps are sandboxed. It is wrong to say that they are not, I don't know what people believe. Programs are typically not sandboxed on desktop OSes (though they can be, but the use

IMHO, nobody is remotely worth $1B, period. The fact that some (usually toxic) individuals get there shows that the system is flawed. The fact that those individuals feel like they can do anything other than shut up, stay low and silently e
