That’s great advice, thanks for sharing --update-refs! But I don’t see how that removes the usefulness of fixup commits, only that you can do them across stacked branches with ease. But you’re saying I don’t need the particular hash of the

You're arguing about average assumptions. Your biases are leaning in different directions. Running Windows software on Linux requires a bit of domain knowledge; e.g. Wine, Lutris, Proton. E.g. which software actually works really well,

I've personally experienced how a Rust-factor of 1 can damn a project and a company's buy-in into Rust. Like any technological investment, Rust has risk because you depend on people who know Rust. There's plenty of people, in

Nix function call syntax is completely standard for ML-style functional languages and allows for effortless partial application. The main downside is that error messages can get cryptic, especially so when Nix is untyped. Whitespace add lis

I haven't tried working with very large files. But Claude Code does read the entire file when it reads or writes anything. Humans don't do anything close to that when the files get big. So presumably what LLMs need is a finer cont

I bet an experiment like that could fool us. What I'd like to see is a "tormented artist" filter. I'm sure the emotion of the lyrics can be synthesized. If humans can fake their own emotions, surely computers can.

There is no ACL system in place for VSCode extensions, no. Any extension has full access to execute programs as the user. Your operating system might have some security measures in place.

Honest take: Those demos have soul. The AI versions don't. They succeed in some ways at capturing the human emotion in the demo, and fall flat in other ways. - The lyrics capture - The melody captures - The production is too po
