It refers to a more generic action/set of actions, where this description is one possible end result. Granted this is probably the most common use, and the name "re-base" definitely fits this usage best.

The more generic action is something like "take a set of commits in one place in the git history, and reapply them somewhere else in the git history, optionally dropping or rearranging some of them in the process".

There are arguments in favour of IP law, but it is difficult to escape from the fact - intentional outcome, really - that it puts barriers in front of people making the most sensible decision based on the current state of knowledge.

The more time passes, the more advantages accrue to open source software. It has been a true privilege to watch as the concept went from lunatic rantings to such an obvious pillar of the software industry that people in a workplace have to justify and argue for why they can't just run postgres on linux.

We've seen it a few times now - if a society wants to actually make progress they loosen IP restrictions. Fast progress happens when people are free to make good decisions.

This library is a fork of Antirez's linenoise, so it's perhaps not only an inspiration but a quality that the code had to begin with, which the author of the fork declares that she intends to preserve.

The linenoise README mentions "sensibility for small easy to understand code". It's not really explained further in the README, but I suppose the point is that you can read the ~1200 lines of source code and get a feel for it yourself.
This is a really interesting example of the virtue of small general tools that can be combined in useful ways. Kudos.

I don't know what sort of answer you're looking for. I've lived in California my entire life, and saying all parts of Contra Costa or Los Angeles or Alameda counties are equally prone to gun violence is a statistical slight of hand that bears little resemblance to reality. Anyone who lives here knows that.

Unfortunately, in 2021, dense minority-dominated districts tend to be high in gun crime. If you don't live in one of those area, it's like a European country, in terms of living standards and crimes rates.
Ah yes. Good point. We wrote a lot of custom software, internal to DreamWorks (or PDI in my case) with no intention of commercializing them. Some of the tools did end up getting used by other studios, but that wasn't an intended goal.
.NET had DataTime which took user's local time zone into account by default. So .NET introduced DateTimeOffset where you can specify time zone.

but by then, DateTime was used in a lot of places, for eg: and .NET Sql Server driver mapped datatime against DateTime (instead of DataTimeOffset)

yeah, .NET has these issues too. and I have not even gone into DateTime Culture!

I was like you. Prime member. Several purchases a month. Never had a problem with Amazon. Until I had a series of bad experiences.

The first one was a wireless phone charging pad I bought. Skimmed through a gazillion options in the search listing. Found one with hundreds of good reviews. When it came, it looked much cheaper built than what I'd ordered and didn't work very well. I didn't seem to be able to place the phone anywhere that would consistently charge. Could have been a counterfeit.

Returned it, which was a minor hassle (rebox it, get shipping tag, etc.). Then I went to look at the reviews, and now all the recent reviews were *BAD*. Like they had gone from 4.5 stars to 1 star. And the product was no longer for sale. I read more closely and realized all the old good reviews were for a completely different charging pad. When I searched for the item by name, I found a new listing with more great reviews. Yep, review fraud!

The second issue was a power strip I bought. Plugs would not go into it! I opened it up and one of the parts was in backward. The sodering was extremely shoddy. At this point, I canceled Prime and walked away. I'm not going to be electrocuted or have my house burn down because Amazon is unable to stand behind the products they sell. I complained, but only got an offer to return the product for a refund. Never again.

If I want to buy cheap shit, there's always eBay. It at least doesn't pretend to be something it's not.

Downvoting on HN is poorly implemented. It creates an unstable initial condition for a new comment. Downvote from initial 1->0 cascades into a snowball effect for ganering downvotes from other users who are pursuaded by the gray text. Similarly, if is upvoted from 1->2, then you have a strongly positive comment that will most likely stay positive.

Delaying the visual indicator of gray text for 1 hour would solve this problem. As it stands, it rewards pathological downvoters who continue to degrade healthy discussion on this site.

For me working with different languages and seeing different codebases helped a lot.

I have always been a solo dev, I have some 6 years of experience, including 3 years getting paid for it. However, up until 1 year ago, I knew only PHP and JavaScript - and I did not know about many good practices in either language - i.e. I did not even use a linting plugin, I was sloppy with git commits.

Then one year ago I picked TypeScript for a long-term personal project. TypeScript is now my main language.

- I was still working in PHP ocassionally (to get paid) - after using TypeScript and Eslint, I decided I at least need to use some linter in PHP. The linter had a very useful rule I did not not have in Eslint, rule that said: "This looks like commented out code". Thanks to this, my new TypeScript project is now not polluted with commented out comments all over the place. I'm not sure if I would have picked it up if not for this small detour.

- I was used to describing what every function does, even if it was obvious just from the name of it. This is because it's a very common practice in some PHP projects - I presume this is probably because of lack of the type system, you have to use PHP doc to comment function parameters, and if you comment function parameters, you may want to add the description of the function anyway. Thankfully I took some detour, I wanted to learn a bit of C++. I looked at some codebases, particularly Chromium - and I was surprised to see how little comments it had, compared to say, WordPress (PHP). I immediately knew this is the right approach for me. I started dropping any obvious comments and not repeating myself and instead name variables / functions to be more descriptive.

- I also looked a bit into Rust and saw how the language is using return results rather than exceptions. I compared both approaches and decided that it would be better if I used return results rather than exception, as Typescript has no way to annotate that a function throws and what it throws.

I've recently had my first experience with shellac. Bought 10g of red flakes for ~$2, dissolved it in alcohol, applied 10 layers or so. Despite being red it has some yellowness to it, smells absolutely delicious, it's relatively easy to scratch with nail (although this might be because I used pine). Dries in about day. Very glossy. I don't think it's good for things that are handled manually like a guitar. Eventually I decided not to use it and went for EN 71.3 paint/stain that is specifically designed for toys.
One approach that has worked for me so far is:

1) find out if the runtime/framework is supported but Heroku or if there are any buildpacks available.

2) spin up a Dokku instance using Vagrant for local development and testing

3) deploy to a live Dokku server

If/when I encounter any issues I add Heroku or Dokku to my search query and 9 times out of 10 I’ll find an answer to my issue. Else I just dig into the Dokku docs and GitHub issues and figure it out.

So for instance googling for deploying a Phoenix app with Dokku results in a few hits such as this one [0].

There's also a lovely UI for Dokku being actively developed: Ledokku [1]

The only drawback currently is when you want to horizontally scale your deployment. You can use their kubernetes or nomad schedulers but I think those are an overkill in terms of complexity. You could also use a load balancer in front of multiple Dokku instances but you then lose the ease of deployment, configuration, etc…

Which is why I think their docker swarm scheduler [2] will be one of the most important feature they could add. It’s currently on the roadmap but I’m sure with a bit of sponsorship and a few pull/merge requests it will become a reality.

I was extremely grateful to have USAF A10’s in presence patrols orbiting overhead to deter activity against my partner and I in Afghanistan back in 2013 in a remote area.

In conflict environments such as Iran and Afghanistan or against conventional forces with limited modern air defence systems, the A10 is a very useful platform.

But against peer adversaries with modern air defence infrastructure, A10 is vulnerable.

The future will probably include over the horizon perishable drone swarm launches and persistent UCAVs for close air support and networked fires(possibly hundreds of miles away) in contested environments

The recent conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan is a good indicator of near future conflict.

Yes. You were asking what use cases you were missing. The answer was people on slow networks.
For me it's because it's highly stateful, and in ways that are mostly invisible. You have to keep in your head whatever state your repository is currently in so you know what actions you can/should take next. And if you wander off into a bad state, it can be nearly impossible to chart your way back blind unless you've been there a few times before. It's like playing the world's worst text-based adventure game.

I think the above problems mainly come down to the fact that it should be a GUI but isn't. Which is why so many GUIs are built on top of it, but then they're shaky because they depend on a CLI which is itself trying to be GUI-like. I would honestly take a text-mode GUI over what we have, and I don't even use text-mode GUIs normally.

I always say, git is the worst VCS except for all the other ones.

> Somebody could probably build a tiny, more ergonomic library on top of the Temporal foundation

That’s my point. Most recent standards try to optimize for this. I would be surprised if you could based on my experience with the APIs. Maybe I’m not well enough versed to see how it would be written. But its design feels much more likely to be something where the native types are passed around or substituted. They’re not designed to interoperate with each other as far as I can tell.
1g towards Earth's center. Well, center of mass.

Welllll…combination of that and angular momentum. Combined with the masses of the sun, and the moon, the other planets, and all the other masses of the universe.

Fortunately, orbits factor in, too. Everything that orbits is essentially in free fall, wellll…until they get tooo eliptical and the oscillating accelerations get really noticeable.

And it all affects time. Time is a bunch of wibbly-wobbly…stuff.

Loki was probably better quality entertainment than a lot of the MCU movies. It's amazing that we live in an era when TV production can rival theater movies in all aspects acting, cinematography, visual effects and scale of story.
Completely agree. The GP reads like a really depressing form of fatalism: "I guess tech giants control the world now, and democracies have no say."

Contributing to open source is, to me, very similar to learning a language at work. The difference is that you seldom have the chance to learn a new language at work because you generally have to first be experienced with it.

To me, I always learn the best when there's a necessity to ship my code. Side projects won't do, and I always revert to using my skills developed at work. Therefore, this sounds like a very good piece of advice to start with.
