But does that still lose the source commit long term? What I'd love to have is a mechanism that keeps references to the pre-squash commits at blame granularity, allowing one to dig deeper into the commit messages associated with a give

I even got TB4 signal through one of those USB-C "magnetic" adapters [0], I figured that this would shift wear from repeated plugging from the expensive device to a cheap adapter. Super annoying when you accidentally disconnect an

A perspective from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean: a company I used to work for moved from n days paid leave, freely distributable, to n - m days freely distributable plus m days fixed in that Christmas/NYE week with its horrible

You are right, sqlite is public domain and I fell victim to some echoes in my mind from the early days of the open source licencing theorizing when "pubic domain is not" was an important talking point, but I guess the thing public

People, founders or not, are of little consequence when they are not owners, and majority at that. Which companies of that list are bootstrapped, and which have taken outside investment? I would only consider the bootstrapped ones valid ent

Trading FoV for density would certainly be the correct choice for flight sim, not much value in peripheral vision while scanning horizon or instruments. Do you spend much time zoomed in, losing the angular 1:1 mapping of the viewport? I did

Is the Index that far behind? I basically bought it with IL2 as my main excuse (mostly hoping for some magic hack to repurpose lighthouse for desktop head tracking, but I never got around to adding a Vive tracker) and for me it was a clear

What flight simulator game would consider existing VR resolutions good enough? Reading tiny dials on a virtual cockpit? Not really. Visual IFF in a combat sim? Not a snowball's chance. That leaves us with arcadey games that put everyth

Depends on how close "concrete ink" made from random torn down buildings comes to the performance characteristics of concrete from well known sources that is cast in place. Even that has a super wide range of performance character

And the nonsensical "organic" bridge shape actually does serve a function, demonstrating how different the elements are shaped. If expect trained architects to understand without much explanation.

On the other hand, those discs would barely fill a 40-foot container. I think that's quite close to what people would intuitively expect.

It's true that Amazon built their empire on the strategy of considering fulfillment speed their primary distinction metric, but they are long past the point where cost could be ignored. Where I live (Germany), most web shops are at lea

Packages tend to be more patient than passengers. I'd expect that if someone builds a medium range (or long range) goods transport it will focus on cheap throughput, not on latency. Low latency at any cost use cases would remain the re

On top of the compatibility issue mentioned in sibling comment, the existing behavior also matches the principle of keeping simple things simple without making complicated things impossible. If you want stringify with a check for unhandled

I guess this is also the reason for the dangerously strong forces involved: lots of outputs (surfaces that move pins) powered from few big motors because there's hardly any control besides synchronisation through gears. If the market w

It's bad enough already when there's a single implementation, but people can't agree which version increment has left the newfangled stage.

Also taking notes to bridge the time gap, physically or even just in the mind, can help improve understanding. Could be described as rubber-ducking with a future self.

Lone pawn, as in doing directly for the strong person at the top (owners family?) what the top would never dare to order through the regular chain of command would not be quite as impossible.

There's probably some well established hand waving routine that's played whenever energy comes up. Perhaps there's some paper that starts with a ridiculously high first guess for energy demand and then goes through a list of

I suspect that GP was talking about some notetaking tactics to systematically narrow things down while throwing educated guesses against the wall. Because so much of debugging is running in circles and trying the same thing again. No amount

Not each week, but at my university, they had enough focus on the science part that most semester long solo projects were semester long and solo only in name. Students were assigned some component or incremental stage of some larger project

That's an ironic mistake playing with the idea of negation being additive instead of multiplicative that is enabled by the subtle redundancy encoded in no/any/some. Makes me wonder if it might be a linguistic eddy echoing fro

Given the current scale of clean energy investment, transferring the fusion projects' money would be a drop in the ocean. 25 years ago (the customary fusion time unit ;)) that would have been very different, but who knows, perhaps that
