`jj edit` is quite literally asking for that. GP is holding it wrong. If you don’t want to edit a commit, don’t ask to edit it. Use `jj new`.

“The alternative is that nothing will ever get released because devs will take forever making it perfect” is a really lame take. We have literally countless examples of software that devs have released entirely of their own volition when th

The American commander in chief was, as of yesterday, vowing to end their entire civilization.

You didn’t come here with data. You came here with anecdotes and asserted that they were conclusive.

Hamburgers are not causing heart disease and diabetes for most Americans. Bad diets loaded with too many calories, too many saturated fats, and too many simple carbs are. Messaging matters. When you tell people hamburgers and bacon and ev

If only there were a federal administration whose responsibility it was to collect data about food and drugs so we could rely on something more than anecdotes from random strangers on the Internet.

They absolutely do not, unless you’re getting too many calories. Individual foods are—with some exceptions—neither bad for you nor good for you. A healthy diet can occasionally include doughnuts, and milkshakes. Your overall diet is what

I know the GP mentioned making humans interplanetary, but I mostly just interpreted this as “more spacefaring”. By tourism I really just meant something along the lines of orbiting hotels.

If you’re referring to the manosphere podcasters, pseudoscientists, cranks, and conspiracy theorists that came out in droves to support him, they can get fucked too. If you’re referring to Biden, who all but guaranteed that Trump would win

This is just one more of an endless list of inexcusable, indefensible, corrupt and incompetent acts this government has performed and/or enabled. In this specific case I am retired and I have done this based on financial projections as

Yeah, I meant in addition to what we’re already doing. I do think that will reach diminishing returns at some point. Kessler syndrome is a real thing for long-term higher orbits.

I would wager minerals mining and tourism are probably the only meaningful revenue sources in our lifetimes.

They’re also reducing the float requirements, which is absolutely insane. As a passive investor with significant assets outside of tax-protected retirement accounts, I am beyond livid. If I have to switch investments to move away from the r

I’ve been considering that this might be an outcome of AI-written software and it’s the one aspect of all this that I’m actually unequivocally happy about. Most software written at companies is shit. It’s whatever garbage someone slapped to

If the length of your password reveals enough information about the password to practically aid in discovery, your password sucks and you need to choose a new one.

It’s a nitpick but the words you are looking for are “dam”, “dammed”, and “damming”. Damning is a very different thing entirely.

Most asteroids have slowed to terminal velocity by the time they impact. It’s not nothing, but it’s mostly going to be relevant to physical processes and not chemical ones. You might consider that scientists advanced enough in their field t

Only the outer surface of asteroids gets hot. Atmospheric entry isn’t long enough to thoroughly cook a rock.

Especially with duck-typing, you might also assume that a function that previously returned true-false will work if it now returns a String or nil. Semantically they’re similar, but String conveys more information (did something, here’s det

The point is that continuing to enjoy your existence is inflicting a massive toll of suffering around the world, to both others humans as well as non-humans. I’m not saying I’d be one to push the button, but I think it’s worth trying to und
