It's a handful of commands because git-cam and git-wip referenced other little utility scripts, so hopefully I got them all. Probably it would be easy to rewrite to be standalone.

I'm on a mac, and I have ripgrep installed as "rg". Ymmv, glhf :-)

So:

"git cam" commits everything with message "nt"

"git wip" undoes all the nt commits but leaves the results staged, ready to be commited as a single properly worded commit (or play w/ what's staged and do as several commits)

More likely, the person will simply ignore it. There are exceptions of course, and I think you have those exceptions in mind with your comment.
Shouldn't they be making money?

Disney and Marvel both made billions in profits during the same time, simply by making entertainment that people want to watch! CBC now makes sitcoms on Netflix... Why do they need taxpayer funds for that?
CCC – Hacker Ethics
I'm a solo business, one guy, no employees, so my take might be different than others with dozens or hundreds of employees. But I absolutely swear by Zoho One - it's been a lifesaver for my business. With One you pay one license that covers pretty much every product Zoho Offers. They also have really good onboarding and have treated me just like any other company. Personalized Support, actual onboarding calls. The best part is every app is already integrated because it's all Zoho in the back.

So for less than $400 US a year I use:
- Website (comparable to weebly)

- CRM (not salesforce level, but more than I need for small business, and it is customizable and you can code to it)

- Email (comparable to Gmail, but feels more like fastmail)

- Paid Appointments (Similar to VCita, but totally integrates with CRM)

- Bookkeeping (Similar to Quickbooks, but integrated with CRM)

- Webforms (similar to formspree but...)

- Web meetings (Similar to Zoom, but not quite as good)

- Webinars

- Help Desk software

- E-Signatures (Similar to Docusign)

- Email Marketing (like mailchimp)

- Project management

There is way more, lots of stuff I don't need yet, like HR, transactional email, remote support, Augmented Reality support, recruiting, a no-code platform, contract management... just tons.

So, yeah, I'm a fan. I don't know how they compare to anyone else with respect to your 2) and 3), but I'd be hard pressed to imagine they're any worse.

> I didn't appreciate exactly how good Netflix's engineering is.

This is poignant as even the shittiest streaming service can dominate with the right IP. Content is king, engineering quality is not a differentiator.

Because of this, Netflix is ripe for disruption, which we've been witnessing creep up slowly over the last decade.

Netflix is easily the first of my several subscriptions to hit the chopping block, should it come to that.

Hi! I know waaay too much about HTTP headers. For $10 dollars, I'll review your website's Content Security Policy, security headers, and general HTTP sanity and give a detailed, completely customized report about what could be improved, and how such improvements could be integrated with the necessary functionality of your app.

I truly, truly love CSPs and HTTP header security. They aren't as exiting as big bugs that pay out huge bounties, but they often prevent such bugs from being exploitable in the first place :)

Not quite. Sapir-Whorf is specifically about the _structure_ of a language, meaning its syntax, morphology, etc.

Vocabulary choice obviously influences how you interpret a specific utterance, but Sapir-Whorf is about how a language's structure influences its speakers' cognition at a basic level, i.e. _how_ they think, not _what_ they think.
This process is intrinsic to capitalism, though.

Every company has to get bigger by swallowing others, or instead be swallowed by another company that does it.

That is not easy to do
I wasn’t commenting on the suitability of this kind of thing on HN, more on the sane-political-discussion-bootstrap problem.

I mean, here in Soviet Russia politics can and will do you whether or not you do politics, and it is indeed tech people, who seem to be the most eager to pull the separate magisteria trick with “politics” and “interesting stuff I care about”, that have been getting hit by that fact more and more often in recent years. Humans gonna hume, human life is political, and “politics is dirty” is as damaging as it is self-fulfilling (maybe not immediately, but over a couple of generations...). If your corner of the world affords you the luxury of ignoring that, I can only look on with envy.

But to go from this to “political discourse belongs on HN” is a leap I’m not interested in making on defending. Whatever my opinion on that (I’m not sure) I don’t have the power to make or help it come true in any case, and idle bitching is only satisfying in very small amounts. Somewhat relatedly, I don’t feel that cultivating strong feelings about the state of a discussion website that is completely owned and maintained by a single investment company is likely to be good for my social health. It’s a good place, and it will continue to be until it suddenly isn’t, and there isn’t a single thing I can do about it. (Been there, done that.)

Getting back to my original point, my actual hope is that a good-enough witch filter could be built without mentioning object-level norms, solely on meta-level ones like “don’t shout down or shame people you disagree with”. Certainly the quality of moderately large political discussions on HN (which exist, whatever you or I think about them) seems to be pointing in that direction. (The experience of some other places, e.g. the SSC subreddit and comment section, seem to point to other possible perils of that approach that are not avoidable by changes local to a single venue.)

Most often, but not always.

To understand why here is another bit of my philosophy: the aim is to find a good match between candidate and company. The interview is a (very flawed) proxy for this, so don't overindex on it.

For instance, recently I was inclined for a candidate although he didn't make it past brute force. The reason is that he did very well in the behavioural round, and wrote a very good brute force solution. Also, during coding, he explained in detail the internals of some data structures (e.g. hash maps), which shows they know their stuff. Lastly, they had an intuition about how to approach the problem optimally, even if they didn't manage to write the code.
I have no good advice for OP. I'm in a similar position having been umeployed since Q2 of 2020 after suffering from burnout. I didn't do anything to develop technical skills or networking-wise during long bouts of depression.
I'm only now recovered enough to think about entering the workforce again.

My current plan is to get a simple job in the food industry or public health services and then use what remains of the day to attain book knowledge in programming, project management and negotiation. Starting to build a portfolio from now on and trying to make contacts within the industry, hoping that perhaps in a year from now, I will find a 'real' job in the tech sector. Not an easy feat at 41.
You don't always want to save to disk though, you want to save in a consistent state. Vim allows you to set up a persistent undo that will let you load the modified buffer from a backup file without touching the original until you're ready. Or undo back to the saved on disk version. Or undo even further to previous versions. That's true persistence.

Challenge HN: Convince an ancient Greek that you are from the future
I'm writing a book about the scientific method targeted to a lay audience. As part of the dramatic narrative I came up with the following puzzle: imagine you have built a time machine and you want to go back to ancient Greece and try to convince someone that you are from the future. The time machine operates under Terminator rules: it can only transport your body, no artifacts. (Some provision is made for you to acquire period clothing once you arrive, but that's it.) So the only thing you can take back with you is information that you are able to memorize. You can study for as long as you want before you go (so, for example, you can, and probably should, learn to speak ancient Greek) but once you go there is no coming back.

Mark Twain used a similar scenario as a plot point in his book, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court." In that book the protagonist solves the problem by predicting an eclipse of the sun, but that isn't very interesting so I am adding the following two conditions to the puzzle:

1. There is some uncertainty about exactly when and where you will arrive. The time uncertainty is many decades, and the space uncertainty is many tens of kilometers.

2. You have to convince them within a small number of weeks, otherwise they will just decide you are crazy and throw you in the loony bin.

So predicting a solar eclipse doesn't work because solar eclipses are very rare at any particular point on the ground, so the odds of you appearing someplace where there will be a solar eclipse to predict are vanishingly small. Even if you did get lucky enough to end up somewhere that an eclipse would happen within a few weeks, you would have to either memorize the exact time and location of all of the solar eclipse events in Greece over a multi-decade period, or learn how to calculate them on the fly by hand. You would also have to somehow figure out exactly when and where you had arrived. You can't just go buy a newspaper and look at the masthead.

Some other things that won't work:

1. Predicting a lunar eclipse. The ancient Greeks knew how to do that so this would not impress them.

2. Predicting a historical event, for all of the same reasons that predicting a solar eclipse wouldn't work.

The puzzle is designed to nudge you towards an approach where you try to reproduce some scientific or technological advance towards which you can leverage the knowledge you bring with you from the future.

I have not been able to come up with a solution.
I wonder if the tool can be amended to commit to an independent git repo.

Git can operate on two local repos reasonably efficiently, IIRC, so diffing and applying commits should be doable.
googles only money maker is search and their results suck. i dont care if they are "diversivied" the only product that mattered is search and people are starting to get off it.
I'm not sure there is a difference between these concepts here. The quality Netflix is after isn't highbrow content that feeds pretentiousness but isn't actually watched. It's masterful execution of a craft, which can happen in any genre.

As an example: the original Police Academy movie had both quality and a large audience. The rest of the franchise was increasingly cringy and saw, I assume, declining viewership.

The reason why Netflix should care about quality and not just eyeballs is that it's a leading indicator: Police Academy II may well have had a larger audience, surfing on the coattails of the first installment. But that's not a sustainable strategy, and unlike the producers of Police Academy XI, Netflix can't just leave the husk and find a new home if it ruins its brand.

So for Netflix, it's not just important to get many people to watch something. They also need to come away from the experience with a wish to repeat it. There may well be more to the experience than mere enjoyment, as well: I feel like there is a sense of "quality" I get when watching something that is distinct from my enjoyment, and that I am more likely to remember it, and fondly so, if I find that quality.

All that suggests a few ideas that mere viewership wouldn't: Netflix would try, for example, to keep me from watching something that I end up despising, and especially if I do so because I consider it "low-quality". You can do reality TV even if your audience has more Ivy League credentials than a New England Hospital, but you better make sure it has a chance to become a pop-cultural phenomenon, like, say, a show about interior decorating that neatly fits into a wider trend of minimalism.
> even if your dozing managers think you are.

They're the ones writing the paychecks - if they are satisfied with what they're buying, why work more for free? Considering companies rarely reward loyalty and you need to switch jobs every few years to get the market rate compensation you deserve, why do them any favours?

> Creating things is about passion

In your own project, sure, or if you are lucky to be financially independent and work out of boredom. But for most people having bills to pay and kids or cats to feed, work is primarily to put money on the table - the market doesn't really care about your passion and you might need to take a job you aren't passionate about.

I use the local history in Jetbrains/IntelliJ/PyCharm all the time. Can use it on a current file, or even mark a folder if you accidentally deleted something.

It annotates the checkpoints with metadata as well. Like "this is how the file looked when you ran a test that failed".
That's because they've near enough enveloped the future. Chrome is underrated in importance, every other mobile device is based on Android, and YouTube, after almost 20 years, is still state of the art.

Thinking of things this way, Netflix is the odd one out and most likely to fail, because I reluctantly engage with products from those other brands everyday. And I suspect everyone else does too.
Missing a "Screenshot for audio" function: A simple shortcut on my phone (like volume up + volume down) that saves +/- 20 seconds of current audio stream, and a link to the original. Like when I listen to a podcast while running, and an interesting book is mentioned, and I want to have a really quick record of it that I can revisit later. Should be independent of listening app, and also work for phone conversations.
expectations: UBI utopia.

reality: Corporate welfare and record levels of poverty.

I'm not big on Go either but I feel like it's a good fit for hobbyist game development. It's a lot harder to write automated tests for games, so the value of static typing is higher, but most simple game designs don't really benefit from the powerful type systems of a Rust or Haskell (or even a TypeScript). It's one of the cases where Go actually does feel like a "better C".
The whole thing seems "simple" to me – graph of identities with url vetting/liking/approve-this-message-like actions, you don't need anything else.

Reputation, non-fakeness etc. can be derived from it for anybody - you just list identities you trust/follow (with weights?) and anything you look at can be scored.

Virtual identities can also be created, ie. identity listing all links mentioned on HN (with positive sentiment only?), links from wikipedia etc. so people can follow those to create their reality graphs.

The interesting part is that it doesn't claim universal truthness - depending on who you follow your results will be skewed towards their opinion of the world. Ie. if you follow MIT, Wikipedia and E. Musk you'll see different view of truthness than somebody following FOX News and Flat Earth Society for example.

It could be interesting to focus on "dislike" marking (only?) as it may be much more lightweight to approach it from blacklisting side.
Appropriate infrastructure for one scale usually isn't appropriate when the population grows 4-5x.

A cluster of 4 1000-pop villages will usually share an elementary school, with students bussed 10-20 miles to it. A 4000-pop light suburban town will have its own elementary school, usually one where parents will drive their kids 1-2 miles to it. A 4000-pop dense suburban development will place a 1-2 story elementary school and associated park & fields inside the middle of the neighborhood, where most students can walk to it via footpaths without crossing major roads. A 4000-pop urban neighborhood will build a 4-6 story schoolhouse on a major avenue where all the students are close by.

A cluster of villages or small towns will have 2-lane roads snaking between major village centers. A dense suburban neighborhood has a road hierarchy, 6-lane boulevards with commercial strip malls, fed by 2-lane residential streets. An urban neighborhood builds mass transit.

In each case, you can't really upgrade the existing infrastructure to the point where it's appropriate for the new density. You have to tear it down and build it a different way, at a cost that's usually higher and more disruptive than just building it a different way in the first place.

It makes me wonder why we don't have more bands of underhoused Millenials going off into the wilderness to found new cities. That's how we got the infrastructure in the first place: land developers generally subdivided undeveloped farm/ranch/wilderness land, and sold it to people living in overcrowded tenements in the city. Or in the case of Europe/Japan/Russia/China, bombed the hell out of each other until all the infrastructure was destroyed and then built new infrastructure from scratch to house the survivors. Perhaps a tongue-in-cheek-yet-actually-practical way of looking at this might be to treat cities as disposable, with a lifetime of a few generations, and then once the people outgrow them it's time to abandon the city and build a new one.
National Research Council study quoted in article: "A well-managed alternative farming systems nearly always use less synthetic chemical pesticides, fertilizers, and antibiotics per unit of production than conventional farms."

There's a certain disingenuousness in this rhetoric. A skilled, professional bicycle frame builder can build a frame that's stronger with less materials than the frames that come out of semi-automated plants in Korea. But that doesn't mean the framebuilder is "more efficient".

Industrial agriculture is far more efficient in terms of labor. That's what matters in the process of transforming society. Notably, the labor freed up by industrial agriculture can be used to very efficiently accumulate more resources to be put into agriculture and even more knowledge.

Which isn't to say small scale farms don't some virtues but let's be clear what's going on.
LOL — author here — I definitely didn't intend it that way, but it does kind of jive with "Git's" other meaning. I should have known that all 4-letter words are an insult in some language.

I had originally named it "duralumin" after a magical metal in [a novel that I'm reading](https://www.amazon.com/Well-Ascension-Mistborn-Book/dp/07653...). I shortened it to "dura" after realizing that I can't even remember the name, so there's no chance anyone else will. Plus is has that "durable" vibe to it, which seemed appropriate.
Another option is (if possible) not to have a release cadence in the first place. If deployments are happening regularly everyday as a part of small PRs, you just get a backlog of code reviews. Sure some releases will require orchestration where order is important but better than one giant release.

DB migrations are a different story imo, and should get more planning. I’m guessing there would be other stacks/domains where regular release intervals suit customers better though.

I'm in Eastern Idaho, and you can find small ranchers to buy meat from pretty easily on local Facebook pages. I even met one at the park and just started up a conversation. In the end it wasn't cheaper (It was about the same price as Costco) and I had to buy at least a half cow, but the quality was so good I can't even believe it sometimes.
