To accomplish your workflow, there doesn't seem to be any need for a staging area at all. You can use an interactive commit selector to stage a subset of changes (or select a set of changes some other way), and then if you want to keep adding/"staging" changes, you can amend the commit you just made.

Occasionally, I do run into the situation where I've staged some changes and then realize that I want to start staging another commit first, but don't want to lose the changed I already staged. Unstaging my current changes means I have to remember and select them again later. I could also just commit what I have staged and start staging a new commit (and perhaps reorder the commits later), but that shows that the staging area was unnecessary in the first place, and I could have used commits to accomplish the same workflow without adding a new set of concepts to my VCS.

There is a distinct lack of decent identity management/security in all of the version control systems I've used. It's a hard problem to solve, especially in a distributed/decentralized system (like git). Signing git-style commits is problematic in the face of merge conflicts or rebasing. A patch-style system (like Pijul) probably makes this easier: if everything is a patch, every patch can be signed atomically.

I'd really like to see a DCVS with better signing support and with some form of access control (on the remote), so every change can be traced back to the author, and so that some parts of a repo can only be modified by specific authors. Git hooks (on the remote) can sort of achieve the latter, but it's a bit of a pain.

I've encountered many gmail (mostly imap) outages in the last 10 years, and mostly moved off of them when I moved to fastmail. Even if they've had 100% uptime since I last checked, they're still nowhere close to getting back up to 5 nines for me.
glad you mentioned meituan, it is prefect example on how low you can go to survive in business.

let's be honest, meituan is mostly used by not well educated & low income people who don't know anything about food safety & personal hygiene. Quite often you get "food" delivered from some dark alley home to tons of mouses & cockroaches. There are a crap load of videos uploaded by those meituan delivery guys showing people how awful are those "food" & places where "food" get prepared. e.g.

That’s not really a fair comparison. That 3 billion bought us a launch that lasted from July to November. With Falcon Heavy you typically only get the one day.
it is very easy to fire in europe... and you have a trial period up to 6 month where you can fire your employe for any kind of reason. after that you can also fire easily your employee but youd need to give him a 3 month notice. but definitly economic downturn is a valid reason to fire someone.

so actually for markets like software with plenty of jobs and employment the trial/notice period of 3 months are playing against the workers by creating a complex market that is not fluid at all. it however protects better workers that are in less fortunate industries which is good.
Just a little reminder: Space X is leveraging decades of research and billions upon billions of taxpayer dollars put into this industry already. It didn’t start from scratch as some scrappy upstart that is now showing some sloppy, bloated government boondoggle up.

> As far as oss goes, I think Google is the best.

Better than Microsoft? I don't think I've ever been able to talk to a human at Google, whereas with Microsoft, I get feedback very quickly on issues and pull requests. Does Google even interact with people with open source? For example, I am using Skia via SkiaSharp, and the only place I know of to go for Skia help and issues is their Google Groups page, a website out of the 2000s. And very few seem to actually monitor the group. I'm not even really sure what Google does in open source. Even the things that are released to the public, like Skia, are well known to come with a huge amount of internal baggage.

Whereas Microsoft has dozens of active projects on GitHub where you can talk directly with the people working on it at Microsoft.

If you want to destroy it, then Elon is on the right track.

Steve Jobs got away with that in the early Apple days - the pirate flag - trashing the Apple II team as bozos , trashing folks when they did not deliver what he expected but the Lisa/Mac folks believed in their mission and was happy to put up with him.

And Sculley/board got rid of him before he could inflict more serious damage.

Don't think twitter folks is like that.

Also, Steve when he came back seemed to have mellowed due to having a family and rather had trusted lieutenants in place to execute his vision and some of them still remain there at Apple.

I like your post. It raises practical issues.

Idea for projects not owned by mega-corps (half real, half fantasy):

1. Get the project added as a package to one or more major commercial Linux distros, e.g., RedHat, etc.

2. Grant commit access to one or more devs at the same Linux vendor. Allow them to do whatever they want. You might not like their direction, but it should survive.

3. Retire from the project whenever you like.

4. Also, you could post a note in README about retiring. If people want to add features, ask them to fork, or just grant them commit access and let them go wild.

Hm, I worked at a national library during my university years, for some extra cash and free access to the more silent part of the building.

State/National libraries in Europe often work on a "required (free) copy" aspect: publishers are required to provide the national library with a free copy of any book they publish. This makes them huge, but it also makes them have all kinds of books of different quality, both content-wise and built-quality-wise.

Most books are never checked out. Those that are get checked out rarely (unless the book is incredibly influential or some professor makes them required reading for their course). 30-100 checkouts may translate to 20-60 years of being in library circulation. But those are mostly spent sitting on a dry shelf, when no damage to the book occurs during normal operation (e.g. no fire / no water damage).

30-100 checkouts, each for two weeks (with the option to extend another two week) spells 1-6 years the book will live with other people - and here is where things happen. Books are transported FROM the library to houses and flats (often in containers that are not very good for the purpose, think backpacks, canvas bags - often leading to shear to the pages and stress on the binding). They are put in environmental conditions that differ vastly (extreme cold in winter. High humidity). Individual pages are being turned and worked on, creating stress on the binding. People have coffee cups that fall, and pet cats that urinate. Pages sometimes rip. People also have kids with crayons. They themselves have text markers and pencils. They may overstretch the binding, to "make the book lay flat", or read in bed, or in the bathtub. And eventually, they bring the book back.

Of course, the lady who takes the book in will do a quick check on whether the book is in an acceptable state - but she has no idea how it looked when we lent it out. In the bad cases (again: cats urinate), the book is immediately discarded and replaced with a new copy if possible. For less bad cases, damage still creeps in and accumulates. And eventually, glue will give in, pages will become loose, the book will fall apart.

Compare that to the privately-owned book, which is often bought, read once or twice, and lives on a shelf for the rest of it's existence. That one also gets damages, but they don't count up that much.

National and University libraries often have contract or in-house bookbinders who will repair a damaged book, which means removing the cover, and rebinding the book into a "library binding" - that often comes with a more sturdy cover or - with softcover books - a thick plastic film over the cover. Many libraries also clip the edges of softcover book to make them rounder, which increases longevity. But ultimately, there is no more thing to fix.

I think 30 checkouts is a good estimate for most softcover books in public libraries, 100 being on the high-end, high-maintenance, highly-invested national library end.

1. Talk to the person about the specific behaviour(s) that are affecting your work. It doesn't need to be a big deal to start with, it can be a simple and casual "can you please $x".

2. If talking to the person doesn't work, talk to your manager about how your work is being affected.

3. In both cases stick to specific behaviours and how they impact your work and the team's output. It's not your place to evaluate other people's overall job performance.

I used to work in a fine & rare book room at a library. The kind of thing behind a lock & key, climate controlled, you need to apply for permission to look at anything and you're monitored while you do it.

The entire year I was there no one ever used it. To actually access the materials you'd have to travel to our specific library.

Meanwhile, I can go to a site of digital books like https://www.manuscriptsonline.org/ and see the entire British Library Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts...something I wouldn't actually ever be allowed to do with the physical books.

But the post is pretty misleading it says

> Our paper books have lasted hundreds of years on our shelves and are still readable. Without active maintenance, we will be lucky if our digital books last a decade.

But every library I've been at also has active maintenance for their physical books! They control the humidity, they check for water leaks, they look for pests. Nobody is throwing 100+ year old books into an aluminium shed.

Also, I now live in a country where I don't speak the local language especially fluently, so reading books published here is less fun. Importing physical books in my native language is extremely expensive, since books aren't especially light. Shipping is often close to the price of the book itself. And delivery usually takes weeks, anyway.

Digital books actually are available to most of the world in a way that physical books aren't.

How would this solve the massive issue of politicians deciding on the technology based on what will maintain industry and funding for their electorate?

I mean, it's not fundamentally wrong. It's better than wasting $10,000 on, e.g. luxuries for yourself that probably won't even make you happier. But it's literally orders of magnitude worse than what you could do, even if you only ever care about your fellow citizens (not people in distant poor countries) in a generation near to your own (as opposed to mankind's long-term progeny).
True, but SpaceX is at least advancing the "state of the art" with reusable rockets, whereas Artemis is just recreating a single-use moon rocket, which was already done with Saturn 5 more than 50 years ago.

Honestly I had the opposite reaction about the video. Compared to the polished on-rocket camera angles and real-time telemetry we get from a SpaceX launch, tonight's grainy footage of a white spot speeding away into the distance overlaid with a monochrome low-res technical readout felt like a step backward.
assuming you're in the US, you pay taxes to the government, the government pays SpaceX to launch things, and SpaceX pays Twitter for advertising. Yay!
Without specifying that, they’re at best doing a poor job of explaining what their technology does, but more likely they are trying to mainstream it.

“And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good.” -John Steinbeck
"SALT Lending launched in early 2018, allowing cryptocurrency owners to take out a loan using their crypto as collateral"

I guess the math for such a business is:

- User deposits crypto worth X dollars.

- User can take out up to X * Y dollars as a loan.

- If the value of the crypto falls below X * Y * Z, it gets liquidated

Where Y<1 and Z>1.

Any ideas, what Y and Z usually are?

I also wonder what the use case for using such a service is? Anybody here ever used such a service? If so, why?

My vague feeling is that it is for tax prevention? Say you bought BTC for $1, and now it is worth $101. If you convert it into dollars, you will have to pay taxes on the $100 you earned. If instead you loan $90 and hand over your BTC as collateral, you do not have to pay any taxes, correct?

> SLS: payload 154k pounds, not reusable, 3B per rocket

AFAIK the former is a shipping product while the latter, the Starship, hasn’t shipped yet, right?

> Even if you take the argument that Starship has not flown and the prices are not there yet- 3 falcon heavy rockets can lift the same payload today at a fraction of the cost.

If that’s true, why would SpaceX develop a whole new craft for the intended payload if they could do it with existing hardware (the 3 falcon rockets you cite)?
