As far as I know right now, no editors have great built-in support. As a heavy CLI user of (previously) git and now jj, selecting changes graphically is genuinely the one thing I’m envious of. The TUI that jj uses for interactive changes, `

There’s no need to be antagonistic. We’re all friends here :) I am an unabashed jj evangelist and I don’t think they’re lying when they say it didn’t save them any time. Adoption costs might be small but they’re not zero. Some workflows are

To be fair, I more or less invited these responses by bringing it up. Organically, complaints are very rare. Obviously not everyone who tries something is going to switch, even if you take as an axiom that the other thing is objectively bet

Gitlab’s does when you have merge queues set up. I’m not sure about GitHub, we didn’t have that kind of setup at the last place I worked.

The oplog is absolutely amazing. Having such a comprehensive safety net means you can have absolutely zero fear from doing absolutely anything to your repo, because you can always return the repo itself back to a known-good state. It&#x27

This was the thing that stopped me from giving jj a shot for the longest time, but it turned out to be a complete non-issue. Definitely don't turn it off! The "aha" moment you might be missing is that you should consider yo

Github and GitLab both allow you to specify a merge target other than main and only show you the differences from the target. If that target is merged into main, they're retargeted to main. There is definitely room for an improved forg

Knowing how much of a dog SHA-3 is due to its sponge construction basis, it’s superficially surprising to me to see a sponge-based LWC algorithm. I guess we’ve had quite a few years to improve things.

Somehow, other nations have managed to figure this out. Of the developed world, seemingly only Americans are resigned to the belief that such things are sadly impossible.

Adding new and innovative layers of unsafety on top doesn’t invalidate the need for safety in lower layers. If anything it makes it more critical.

This is no different than the argument that C is totally great as long as you just don’t make mistakes with pointers or memory management or indexing arrays. At some point we have to decide as a community of engineers that we have to stop b

What does “legal” even matter when you ignore lower courts, stop them from being able to issue injunctions, and have the Supreme Court in your pocket? This last election was the end of American democracy.

This take is wildly out of sync with the reality that the U.S., as one of the few developed nations without free healthcare, pays more for their healthcare than all of them while having worse than average outcomes. The worst healthcare is i

You are describing events that lasted for a handful of years and comparing them with a total and indefinitely-sustained global halting of economic growth. Energy growth is physically bounded and so must stop (on a surprisingly near timescal

We are not talking about an individual city or country having stagnation. We are talking about the entire planet, as a whole, transitioning to a fully steady-state economy for the entirety of the planet’s future. If you that is anything lik

Earth is a sphere with a fixed surface area. We have one way to shed heat energy off our planet: thermal radiation. There’s no convecting or conducting into space. That makes it pretty easy to calculate the thermodynamic equilibrium tempera

This doesn’t solve anything. We get less power from sunlight so we need to generate more on Earth. But we’re still fundamentally capped by the surface area of our rocky sphere. If we want to keep growing energy use past this, we’ll need to

A series of fads are not responsible for the economic growth we've experienced as a civilization for the last 2,000 years. What you are describing is not economic growth , but a steady-state economy. Money will still change hands, but

It is not assuming that steady exponential curves will continue. The argument is that exponential growth cannot and so will not continue. But then you run into other problems. Can an economy like ours—which is wholly predicated upon unb
