To me, restore is one of the most frightening commands in git. It has an innocuous name but it can delete arbitrary amounts of uncommited work without any further interaction, warnings, or confirmation.

Yeah, I'm pretty curious because it must've cost in $10k-100k range right? Isn't this the type of vanity purchase that usually happens after you validate your idea with 10,000 customers and you got a round of investment to go

Does this allow me to basically create my own bank? Like could I make my own version of Simple, and use this as the back end? I'm confused because I thought there were a lot of legal requirements to banking and not just the actual serv

Yeah, you're probably right. I should've said "web standards" rather than "HTML". Ideally, a page structure standard would use a terse file format that supports hierarchy like json or yaml.

More than anything this reminds me of the fact that HTML has failed on a basic level, to keep up with the ways that users want to experience content, and that designers want to present content. The browser has no real concept of "page

This feels too similar to my default mode of thinking, which is risk aversion, and constantly thinking about what can go wrong, and then steering away from that. Is that because this concept isn't really for me, like it's more hel
