I'd argue that you invented some sort of link between "performance of git" and "performance of websites" that is not at all a premise I accept either, so it's not that unreasonable for me to point out that I th

Fair enough! I think my meta-point still stands though; I don't see any fundamental reason to assume that an LLM wouldn't generate something similar to this without needing a ton of effort in prompting.

I can't say I agree with this is take; it's never occurred to me "how rude of this author of the tutorial not to plug their Twitter handle before teaching me the thing I came for". I have no reason to suspect this is fro

If the worst thing you can say about a git hosting provider is that the performance of their blog is worse than the performance of their git servers, I think they're probably doing an okay job.

All but one of my employers have used either Github or Gitlab, and at every one of them there were a litany of complaints about whichever one we were using. It's kind of surprising to me that someone might not immediately recognize tha

My relatively ignorant take is that it's pretty similar to Mercurial, except that it's compatible with git repos, which is also the answer to why it might get more traction. At least from my standpoint, it also doesn't need

I'd argue that the reason a lot of developers have not learned git in depth is because it's actually kind of terrible from a UX standpoint (lots of inconsistent naming of things and somewhat leaky abstractions), and that Mercurial

That's basically the point I was trying to make with my initial response; I think any claim that something is so urgent that we need to act now even with a solution that everyone admits isn't great should be scrutinized pretty t

If you think the big social media companies are literally bombarding kids with radiation, I'm confused why you still don't seem to consider it at least as urgent to shut down the radiation-generating companies.

Not at all evident from the story I told, but she had a stroke a few years ago and then only survived another year after that. She lived a long and from what I could tell happy and fulfilled life though, and to the end seemed far more conce

No disagreement here! My point is more that the bar for what's enough to be a safety issue in ads is actually extraordinarily low, which is exactly why I don't have any qualms about using the strictest measures possible to block a

Yeah, I feel like the actual solution here should be regulating the companies that are allegedly causing the harm, not the victims of said harm. It says a lot about someone if they think the solution to "this giant powerful entity is t

I don't agree with your framing at all that we need to do something and it because to be done immediately, so it seems basically impossible to have any sort of reasonable discussion if things seem so dire to you that this seems self-ev

Not only that but it's not always clear that friends don't already know! It's entirely possible their friends might have assumed that they already were aware and had been diagnosed.

That's what they mean by begging the question; you don't really get much useful information from trying to cite something as evidence of what you've already assumed.

Literally the first two features listed on the website are "clean design" and "global menus". If they're too early to even have mockups of what that's going to look like, I have to question why they have what c

I was responding to the framing of the parent comment that suggested "missles", which already essentially ignored that pronunciation.

I think they pronounce them non-phonetically, and I'm not really sure what's confusing about that. Pronunciation differing from spelling is literally what it means to say something isn't phonetic; if I accepted the spelling o
