I have been trying to use jj for a couple months now, but hitting some friction with my company’s GitHub PR workflow. Specifically, after the PR is merged, the next time I fetch I always end up with a ton of conflicts. It gets hard to clean

Not all taxes are in income or capital. Some are e.g. on consumption (gas, cigarettes, carbon, etc). There’s an argument that in place of corporate income taxes, we should let companies reinvest freely (or pay dividends), and then recoup th

If we’re talking about pasted code not having the proper indentation, that’s a major difference between languages with and without significant whitespace. A formatter can fix that in C, but not in Python. Additionally, manual fixing of the

Of course you can leave it inconsistent! If whitespace is insignificant, you can move things around however you want and use (frequent) runs of a code formatter to clean things up for you. If whitespace is significant, it must be fixed manu

It has been even more than 500 excess employees. 300 were laid off in January 2021, and another 500 in April 2023. The percentages imply that headcount bounced around from 2800 down to 2500, up to 3100, down to 2500, up to 2600, and now dow

I agree. There is an additional quality here as well: Inertia doesn't care whether there is one big push or many little pushes. With the flywheel analogy, it's clear that it's not just one big push. That's what they are

Why are these defined as macros at all? A function call would come with overhead, of course, but wouldn't compilers be able to inline that anyways?

Walkability isn't just important in big cities; you can have it in smaller towns, too. I live in the suburbs of a large city, but my town has a small "main street" area with shops and restaurants that I love to walk to. I als

It's possible, but in a world where copies and imitations are cheap, authenticity becomes more valuable. Would Charli XCX's brand and image benefit from having a shallow AI clone out in the world? In most cases today, when streame

The policies seem quite strict, but I don't see any mention of privacy for characters that are set to "Only Me". It sounds like you don't have to submit them for a review process, but is Meta still reviewing the profiles

I believe domains can also be downranked/shadowbanned separately from users. Given that this Ask HN post went through OK, I am guessing that is more likely here. And I would agree that articles from the Guardian are almost certainly go

It’s not western centered. As countries like China and India have grown more affluent, their consumption of pork and beef have also risen. While hunting (and especially social hunting of large game) was important in pre-agricultural societi

Meat consumption has been a sign of affluence throughout human history. It's only fairly recently that beef has become broadly accessible to lower income consumers.

This is using sipgo as a back-to-back user agent (B2BUA). There are really two sessions going on: one between the SIP caller and sipgo, and a second between sipgo and the browser. These sessions each have their own signaling and media. The

I think this idea of having a custom AI generated Choose Your Own Adventure, in the universe of your choice, is really cool. As for the "smut" aspect, I'd immediately pass on that as long as another human is involved.

Sometimes. The VoIP world has been dealing with this for years. The process of finding and connecting the clients is called signaling, and that typically requires a shared relay. The signaling can contain information on how the clients can

IANAL, but if the prenup doesn’t already cover this, then they could always draw up a new contract amending it.

It's possible that you are struggling to find evidence because the evidence points in the other direction. For example, from the review article you linked: "Based on all available scientific knowledge, wheat consumption is safe an

Commutative means that changing the order of the operands yields the same result. Ex: a+b = b+a. In that way, "alternative" is (mostly) commutative, but there are exceptions: Amazon is an alternative to a local bookstore, but a

I suspect this is because "cuban" has a lot of meaning in other contexts as well. If you see "cuban" out of context, one may think of Cuba or even sandwiches before thinking about Mark Cuban or other investors.
