With scaling you still get smooth fonts and crisp images (if available at higher resolutions than "screen pixels"), the benefit of a high resolution display really isn't to fit more stuff on the screen anymore (especially on 12-14").
I was happy with SVN because I used CVS before. I was even happy with CVS, because I had nothing before. It's hard to imagine now.

Software development has seen massive improvements in the past 20 years. I see no reason why that would stop now.
There's a reason utopias are called utopias. That's because they cannot exist in reality (u-topia, coming from Greek, means literally "no [such] place").

In the economist speak material goods and land are rivalrous goods. That's not because evil capitalists made them so but because of physics. No amount of sci-fi tech is going to change this simple fact.
This happened to me as well. I thought I would be able to juggle different responsibilities full-time work, an occasional side works and post graduate studies but I was wrong.

I was under the impression that I would be able to do it because back when I was in high school and college I can easily get good grades with barely any effort. I even had time to enjoy other leisure activities. Turns out, I was just oblivious what real responsibilities are.

> I don't remember a time when Subversion didn't support branches.

SVN's official response to branching and tagging was to copy directories around in the repository. Arguably that means it does not support branching, at least according to the concept that has been in place for the last decade.
I was happy copying my files back in the days for versioning (final_draft, final_draft01, final_draft_absolute_final, final_draft_use_this_one), but that was because I didn't know of anything better.
What I'm saying is that even though we don't see it now, there's probably something better out there waiting to be discovered.
Yeah people think the internet alone is powerful enough to reverse physical centralization, which is happening due to much, much stronger factors.

None of the other big VCS had fatal flaws. If they had fatal flaws, they wouldn't have been used.

Sure, not being able to rename a file easily in CVS was quite an annoyance but nothing that made it completely useless.

There were always workarounds. But exactly those areas were workarounds or better tooling patches over stuff Git doesn't do are the areas that a possible successor will address.
Thats part of it. Unwanted help is definitely an issue.
However, it doesnt end there. The more religious a person is, the more they take their time to explain to me how bad they think my situation is. Patronisation, pittying, and a general attitude of looking down at me.
What?

To use git you need to know clone, pull, commit, push. For larger projects branch and merge. Those fall into a lot of boxes that say "easy" or "elegant," and I really wouldn't hesitate to recommend git to a lot of projects, big or small, discounting specific needs, but I guess you've got some specific concerns that really don't translate well into simple statements.

I've used mercurial only to get some external requirements or tools going, and never used fossil. Could you elaborate a bit on why git is worse than either of them and why I should consider switching ?

would not importing tractor from abroad like Europe make more sense financially? you can buy them for peanuts here and my understanding is you can drive whatever you want on your private property in US, so you don't need to care about some complicance with norms

I just checked classifieds and tractor here in Czechia with 20yo replaced engine will cost you 5000EUR, newer up to 10000EUR, still way cheaper than prices they quote

or why is no brand taking this market by hit with some cheap basic tractors like did Dacia in car industry in Europe? seem it should be hit judging by article, just sell tractor without electronics with old design from 80/90s
"sqr is a place where one might be tempted to use a macro in C, but writing such a macro in a way that x doesn't get evaluated twice is tricky."

Slightly off-topic, but it's important to point out that in modern C, implementing such a function as a macro is always a mistake. You'd do it as an inline function.

Macros in modern C should only be used for code generation (for DRY). If the language supports doing it without a macro, then do it without a macro.
Upon seeing the name of the comedian, I wasn’t planning on watching, as I’d previously found his humor more baffling than funny. But, the title of the song piqued my interest, “Peace anthem for Palestine”, so I watched in entirety and include below my complete summary.

Tim Minchin, comedian pianist, is going to share a song he hopes will be a seed for peace (first 2 and 1/2 minutes), the lyrics are “You don’t eat pigs, we don’t eat pigs, why not not eat pigs together ... ... pigs.” (last 2 and 1/2 minutes)

The audience laughs and sings along. I liked the song but the laugh timing, particular when he was playing music but not speaking, made me feel as if there was an in joke I was very far outside of.

Heh this is only a very mild version of status obsession. To a degree it's actually a good thing to want, so long as you stay committed to doing the actual work of getting successful.

What amuses me to no end is when I see a rich guy who wants to keep being in the news. As if to say "see, I actually deserve all this wealth". I've seen several of these people over the years. Somehow the media keep calling them to comment on all manner of things unrelated to their field of expertise. One guy I've seen has articles about how he's a great art lover. Then one about how his wife worked so hard to help him. Then commentary on how startups work. Then he buys a sports team. And another. And another. Everythings he does has to be in the news. Another guy is a little bit wiser about it, but also sticks his comments in where he really isn't an expert (economics, politics). Sprinkle in a bit of bragging about expensive wines and restuarants, and it just looks like an old child doing the "look at me" routine.

I really don't get it. I suppose that external validation is a huge factor for some people, something similar to substance addiction. People can't see it, but they are swapping dignity for attention.
> Many people won't be on the exact same head.

This consideration is actually irrelevant to locking non-mergeable binary files. It doesn't matter what branch we're on or where the file is located, only that you and I both want to edit the logo. Eventually, either your version must be based on mine, or mine based on yours, since they will be merged.

So it's probably better not to have that file in Git, since it doesn't support the workflow around which Git is based.

It's actually right to store your design documents in Google Docs or a wiki and your code in Git, rather than everything in Git.

It is easy to have one filestore to rule them all and in the darkness bind them, but if you want to do different things with them, you have to do different things with them. I'm not sure that it's possible to unify text file and binary doc based workflows, but it seems we don't have to worry because users automatically use the best tool for the job and it's only hackers who tie themselves in knots trying to make git do everything.
I remember being a kid and going grocery shopping with my father. At the end of the shopping father realized that he has left his wallet at home and only had something like spare 50 in his pocket.

Hugo is a great tool. I use it with my small project's websites for easily changing the content and getting hosting for nearly free.

Their map is a bit misleading - they only cover North America and Europe well, which is not really "the whole internet". Their coverage in Asia, Oceania, South America, the Middle East and Africa is poor or non-existent.

This seems very disconnected from reality to me. Romanticization of the poor as some sort of noble, underprivileged class, yearning for the opportunity to bring humanity back to the world is a very common narrative sold by people who are usually just trying to make themselves feel better about something. The truth is that poverty tends to just harden people to the world. You see much less empathy in impoverished communities, poverty is more likely to make you care less about other people, not more, and much more likely to end up victimizing other people, usually other poor people. That’s why our poor communities have such wide spread problems with violence and property crimes. Telling lovely made up stories about what it’s like to be poor might make you feel better, but it’s not helping anybody, and it’s certainly not accurate.

> "There is no code review in Git."

Yes there is. You can block pushing directly to a branch of the repository and demand that things can only be merged through pull requests. You code review the pull requests.

This is very well supported by Atlassian's git tooling, for example. It does everything you mention. It's true that the comments don't become part of the git repository itself, but I'm not convinced they should be.
The white fatty flecks that make it look more like ground beef is coconut oil and cocoa butter.

I think coconut oil is somewhat like cilantro, in that certain people get a soap like taste from it, based on some kind of genetic trait.

Though it does have less aldehydes than some other types of oils, which goes against my theory. It does, however, have a fair amount of decanal, one of the aldehydes in cilantro.

Would "soap like" describe the unpleasant flavor at all?
I disagree. Even if you could record only a couple of bits (essentially being able to click with your mind), wouldn't this be useful already?

Moving away from Wordpress and its problems would be good.

I do think a few features are missing that I find valuable:

* Search (you can add it as an external service
I haven't found one I trust and like yet.
* Comments, there are several third-party comment providers
that I can use, I tried out Disqus for a while but I didnt
like nor trust them. I look at using forum software for the
comments but then I have to run that and I might as well stay
in WP

Then there are a few plug-ins I use and like.

The worst part of using WP is of course security.
I have switched to fully managed WP hosting so I dont have to worry too much about that. I do still worry about plugins but my provider does not allow a lot of plug-ins due to issues and I can totally appreciate that.
Isn't this basically just what happens to some number of people when they 'train' their brains to get out of the hole everyone is in to begin with (the requirement to make a living)?

Status and prestige are more powerful multipliers than anything else. Even outside of business. You can be the best 'x' in the world, but winning the Olympic gold will multiply your earnings by probably an order of magnitude or more.
I've a few sites on Hugo. If you're not an active developer (like me) you can deploy a site from a Netlify template and tweak from there. So pretty much the opposite of "zero to deployment" - gives you something working to start with.

Thought-provoking article.

I got over my obsession with emulating others' success when I realized that a lot of supposedly successful people were successful primarily because they were also lucky. Once you accept that a big factor in whether you'll end up "successful" is just chance, it becomes easier to accept that it may not be entirely under your control and so there's no reason to obsess about it.

PG's advice, which in some ways is a restatement of the Bhagvad Gita's best-known verse, really speaks to me. Just focus on doing the best you can on the things that actually interest you. The rest will follow, and if it doesn't, that's okay. At least you'll have had fun doing your thing.
This post also resonated with me, especially the quote from /r/cscareerquestions

> Got an awesome internship at an interesting company? Well, it wasn’t FAANG, so who cares? Got a FAANG internship? Well it wasn’t one of the good FAANGs, so if you really think about it, you really didn’t accomplish anything. Got into a “Good FAANG”? Well, the other intern works on his own startup idea when he goes home. Why aren’t you working on your startup idea? Do you even have a startup idea? Are you even trying?

It's absolutely not limited to new engineers. Take a look at the replies to the "Levels.fyi Annual Report" here on HN.

> You can't move to the US/SF/NYC? Good luck eeking out a living. You didn't get an offer from a FAANG? Well, you don't really belong in the bay area then. You got a FAANG offer but you didn't negotiate 400k+ total comp? Good luck ever getting a raise. You made it to the top of your salary band? Well, they'll never move you up, better plan your exit now.

That's true that there was no command "svn branch", there was only the command "svn copy". It's true that command could have been better named, like many Git commands could have been better named.

However, don't let that confuse you. The "svn copy" command creates a new place where you can do independent development, and where afterwards merging back can occur. So it's the same as a branch by that definition.

An "svn copy" is a lightweight copy, with a reference back to the place the copy was made from.

- "svn merge" does its merge by looking at what commits have been made at the original location (since the copy), and the commits to the copy.

- "git merge" does its merge by looking at what commits have been made on the original branch (since the new branch was created) and the commits on the new branch.

So "svn merge" and "git merge" act in the same manner. (Of course there are differences in the algorithm, but I wish to refute the point that Subversion "does not support branching [at all]".)

And if you never use "svn merge" or "git merge", then a branch is just a copy, in either system.

> "Being processed" doesn't magically make food worse than non-processed food.

No but being processed at a factory means that it can be treated in a way that makes non-processed food or home-processed superior. By definition, processed food bought from the supermarket is not fresh and has already lost nutrition and it will stay in a supermarket for weeks. No matter how many preservatives you add it's old food. Processing often increases the surface area which makes it easier for bacteria to spread and the food to oxidize. Meanwhile the most significant "processing" you do at home happens a few hours or minutes before eating. Nobody is arguing that left overs are superior to eating food on the same day it's cooked.

The heuristic that factory processed food is worse still holds. In theory you could make healthy processed food but there is no economic incentive for that so it is the exception, not the rule.

Discord should realize it's main appeal is not hosting gaming communities. It's providing a good and very customisable textchat environment (way less limiting than let's say slack) with easy voip and that all across platforms (browser, desktop, mobile, etc)
I'm curious how large of a share of the servers is in no direct way gaming related.

As far as the rest goes I've wondered about as well.
I'm part of a Discord that has no subreddit, yt or twitch channel is not a gaming community coming from some game or the like.
It has a focus in that it's Eurocentric tho there's plenty of people on it from the US and the rest of the world but the only way it has survived for bout 2 years now is by being welcoming and a very broad catch all community with channels for cooking, politics, tech, memes, etc (https://euro-lounge.eu)
I've encountered other ones that survived but they tend to be part of some big crosslinking groups and seem void of community feel with a shitload of people 99% of which don't say anything.
Meanwhile more interest-centric communities just die if they don't have an area like a subreddit to pull people from. I've encountered numerous disappointing graveyards like that.
frutiger is correct that the diff algorithm has nothing to do with git itself, in that git can accept pretty arbitrary diff algorithms in the first place for all the commands that take one.

Bitcoin has very strong properties for _security_ which is the inherent property that makes it possible to build other automated trustless systems on top of it.

The comparison with TCP and IP is limit in that TCP data all goes inside IP packets. With second layer transaction systems the relationship is different: the security and stability comes from the underlying blockchain. The higher part adds capacity.

Bitcoin forms a trustworthy robotic court system upon which the wheels of automated commerce can ride.
