I usually rebase the branch onto the upstream branch (master or main or whatever) if there are merge conflicts. You can then resolve the conflicts commit by commit. This requires force pushes, but they are are not normally a problem because

It would be good if there was some sort of indication of how much more efficient the process is. Is it a 5% improvement or a 50% improvement?

> Assuming that 70s or 80s programmers knew anything about printing presses is tenuous. I don't think that's the case at all. Lots of work was done computerising newsrooms in that period.

If I were you I would not want exposure to any crypto at the moment - I'd exchange to cash and put it in a normal bank account as soon as possible.

This unit stores 8MWh of energy with 100 tonnes of sand. Gravity is about 9.8m/s*2. If you put the calculation into google "8MWh / 9.8m/s*2 / 100 tonnes", it tells you that you need lift those 100 tonnes 29.39k

It looks great, but I can't stand the wasd controls. Please let me control steering with one hand (e.g. z-x or a-s) and acceleration/braking with the other (e.g. k-m). Supporting the gamepad API would be ideal.

Depends what you mean by "99% of the book market". I'm sure the major publishers will not start publishing generated nonsense, and I suspect the small players self-publishing nonsense on Amazon will go away in time. Of course

Surely if the prices are dynamic and too expensive, just wait until nearer the date of the show and the prices will come down. An artist can make prices cheaper by just adding more dates until everyone who wants to see them can see them. Wh

Part of the psychology of IKEA is that as you get experience and know the tricks and the shortcuts, you feel you are a better IKEA shopper than the normal people, and that just makes you visit more and buy more.

"Writing" a server is the easy bit. It's running it and letting people connect that is the problem. Also scaling to spikes in load etc. This isn't just about github pages, it will work on most static hosting systems like
