   You don't need to run `jj status` all the time, but you DO need to have Watchman installed, and a config like this: # ~/.jjconfig.toml [core] fsmonitor = "watchman" [core.watchman] # Newer docs use

   Since they recommend still using version control anyway, looks like I will stick to my solution of using a git-colocated jj (jujutsu) SCM which automatically makes label-less (no commit message) commits with every file change to every track

   I already set up a jj (jujutsu) repo in my projects colocated with git (it uses git for its backend). Once you additionally set up a certain background daemon, it will then autocommit (label-lessly) every change to every file in that projec

   I too am amazed. Real-world example from last week: After using gpt5-codex inside codex-cli to produce this fork of DOSBox ( https://github.com/pmarreck/dosbox-staging-ANSI-server ) that adds a little telnet server that

   This is awfully purist. I think a happy medium of "comment brevity, and try thinking of a clearer way to do something instead of documenting the potentially unnecessary complexity with a comment" would be good. I don't know w

   I bet you that if you let it comment code, it would produce better code as it acts like an inline rubber-duck basically

   I was already using jj (jujutsu) to do my own rewinds (it saves every change to every file as an unlabeled commit, assuming you set up its daemon). Would sort of prefer to continue to do that since it's far more flexible than checkpoin

   I was going to say this! Why not just convert all the constants and units once since the mathematical relationships are the same?

    I wrote a tool to try to attack this specific problem (subtle, random drive corruption) in the general sense https://github.com/pmarreck/bitrot_guard but it requires re-running it for any modified files, which makes it

    Huge props to the dev who burned his free time to do this, and to Larian for then backing it.

    One of the reasons Proton has been so successful as a dev target is because the Windows API is not changing anymore and is thus stable. The same, as I understand it, cannot be said about the Linux-native API. SteamOS may have stabilized it

    and yet spaceX is for-profit and is pushing the boundaries again, after NASA (a not-for-profit government-created monopoly) stagnated. blanket-blaming capitalism without good reasoning is becoming the new red-flag of "can't think

    I'm still a tinkerer. It's gotten significantly harder now that I have a toddler and my S.O. works, but I can't help myself from stealing time for it.

    I'm glad this exists, except for the fact that IEEE754 is the devil, and posits are better (not assuming hardware support). (Even better than both are bignum rationals, but those are the slowest.)

    so after your edit it would be (just to clarify): I use ____ ___ = downscale_common(lightweight1(.)) + downscale_common(lightweight2(.)) ? And does it generate 2 at a time and keep going that way, or is there some overlap?
