My biggest problem with git rebase -i is that it has to be interactive (without some serious scripting), and sometimes that isn't really necessary. For example, the rewording example in the blog. Having to go through a whole interactive rebase because I forgot to link to a bug number in one of the commits is rather annoying. It's also a little annoying that i can't do an autosquash without an interactive revase.
Four separate eyewitness accounts (the gospels), all consistent with one another, is pretty good historical evidence as far as the ancient world is concerned.

This exactly. Isolation is a very hard problem, and it's even harder when you're running on top of hardware and operating systems that prioritized features and speed over security for decades - certainly due in part to users who had similar priorities and/or were unwilling to pay more for security and reliability.

>And this sensitivity should be taken into consideration.

No, it absolutely shouldn't. Those aspiring to higher education should be the ones who consider the fact that a central part of higher education is being exposed to ideas, images, arguments and other material that they will very likely find offensive. If they decide that they lack the emotional and/or mental capacity to be exposed to things that may offend them, then college isn't for them, and they are free not to attend. No college should cater to the mentally and/or emotionally disabled by altering their curriculum out of fear that someone may be offended.
It's interesting as this is one area where Japanese law is significantly different from American law. It's really easy to sue people in Japan and win for people using your image without your permission. This is why you see so many videos from Japan when news agencies film on the streets they'll blur people's faces.
I agree that they screwed that community over.

It just seems like it would be harder due to the fundamentals of the game to screw over the actual player community of D&D. There’s no competitive aspect, you can write whatever you want on your character sheet, and there’s a strong home brew tendency. If they try to gate the content behind a paywall, players can just… make it up themselves.

They can go after folks publishing settings on drivethroughrpg which will be a bummer. And they can go after the sort of “play d&d on a podcast” groups (until they just switch to a different system). I think the players will be fine, though.
Pretty convenient for Apple that they decide that's your responsibiliy instead of theirs. Doesn't Apple dictate that the payment goes through them? If it's such a crime to process these transactions that the guilty drserve to die for being involved or associated in any way, then they are even more guilty and should have killed themselves by that logic. Man these big guys sure do give themselves a great gig.

shakyamuni lived in a class society, and if the religion he created were incompatible with it it would've been destroyed. same applies to all religions. something to keep in mind when thinking about religion, they all exist, at some level, to provide an emotional justification for class domination.

anyway, to cite "zen mind beginners mind" regarding just sitting around all the time:

> Zen is not something to get excited about. Some people start to practice Zen just out of curiosity, and they only make themselves busier. If your practice makes you worse, it is ridiculous. I think that if you try to do zazen once a week, that will make you busy enough. Do not be too interested in Zen. When young people get excited about Zen they often give up schooling and go to some mountain or forest in order to sit. That kind of interest is not true interest. Just continue in your calm, ordinary practice and your character will be built up. If your mind is always busy, there will be no time to build, and you will not be successful, particularly if you work too hard on it. Building character is like making bread—you have to mix it little by little, step by step, and moderate temperature is needed. You know yourself quite well, and you know how much temperature you need. You know exactly what you need. But if you get too excited, you will forget how much temperature is good for you, and you will lose your own way. This is very dangerous.
What about the Boring Company or the Flamethrowers?
Replying to myself: Another commenter mentioned that there is a small business license. That sounds OKish, but the limits are really small. $250,000 turnover. Your business cannot be very successful if it stays under that. Even with 20% profitability the owner would only make $50,000.

So this seems a typical drug dealer pricing: You start cheap but as soon as you are a little bit successful you will have a massive increase in license fees.
>If I move to the UK and invent something, is it automatically a British invention, or an American invention?

Well, certainly not European.

But, maybe - wouldn't it depend on where you filed your copyright/ patent/ trademark and possibly who you work for?
> because the religion is not defined by what it originally was or should be, but by how it's actually practiced by people who self-identify as its followers and who are conventionally identified as such by everybody else.

How Terrifying.

> Do what works for you. The only truth is what you can directly experience in the laboratory of your life. All the other teachings are just suggestions.

The most important thing I'd like to see is ASI ("Automatic Semicolon Insertion") removed/disabled in a stricter mode. Too many weird edges cases in the language exist, and it's now getting in the way of extending ECMAScript[1]. The only people who seem to disagree focus on the aesthetics of code over the clarity of explicitly telling the reader your intentions to terminate a statement.

Without ASI, the following would work as you'd assume, instead of returning `undefined`:

return
{
answer: 42
};

Just one of many ridiculous edge cases that would go away if ASI didn't insert a secret "helpful" semicolon at the end of the return line.

Rather than making me remember all the edge cases and rules [2] that keep growing with each new syntactical feature added to the language, we should just be making your code more explicit. The rules of reading the code are simply much more complicated than they should be with ASI, and many proponents don't even understand these issues, or suggest preposterous solutions to some of these edge cases such as inserting leading semicolons[3]!

Maybe put simply: Semicolons are sometimes required. Let's just make them always required.

That isn't correct. Morality is the first training of Buddhism. No real progress can be made without practicing right ethics first.
I worked in the biotech space and this - NCCN (US) or ESMO (EU) guidelines are the place to start. Unless you're a very unique case, most doctors won't even consider cutting edge therapies until you've failed at least one of the more common treatments.

Sign up for a free account and download the guidelines. They are evidence driven and give you a sense of what the current standard of treatment is and how strong the evidence is. Not sure about ESMO, but NCCN even publishes a patient-friendly version now.

If guidelines treatments fail (which would likely take a while as there are multiple lines of therapy) then you're getting into the clinical trial space and you'd likely need to get input from someone in academics who is close to the space and does research. But major hospitals usually have "tumor boards" where the oncologists get together and go through challenging patient cases and make recommendations on next steps. But sounds like OP is nowhere close to that.
Bay Area broadband is surprisingly bad, and doesn’t fit the outside assumptions of the “Silicon Valley”.
There are two ways to view the world, and what we do in it. Which one we adopt largely depends on the one those around us adopt.

I make no judgement about which is "better" or "worse" - they both have positives and negatives. Inevitably, and obviously, you can probably figure out which one you fall into based on which one you react to.

In the first case, you view the world around you and yours. You see events and think "how does this affect me and people like me". If taxes are going up this means I get less money.

The alternative is through the lens of "how does this affect others." - them and theirs - yes, taxes are going up, but those in need will get better medical care, and I already have enough money myself.

It's not just about money. Basically every policy discussion revolves around "us" and "them". Immigration, inflation, exploitation, environment, defense, guns and do on. How will this affect me and mine. How will it affect them and theirs.

Inevitably every policy has an impact on a continuum, but too often the extreme is presented by media to reinforce one end of the spectrum. Thus the extremes start to matter more than the nuanced middle ground.
I don't understand, you can have rsync use a ssh tunnel directly. Easily. Isn't that enough?
Those things may require government investment, but if there is going to be a lot of investment in those things then it becomes worth it to figure out how to do those things more efficiently. Startups can innovate on the technology for upgrading the grid, or methods of financing it.
As someone who writes Typescript, I still don't understand why I would not opt into waiting. Even my linter yells at me when I don't await, return a promise, or mark a function async, and my JavaScript call stack is typically very serial.

Am I doing something wrong? How do you or why would you avoid waiting?
I don't understand anything about it, but I think I read that LIGO has been enhanced with a technique involving "squeezed light" which allows some bypassing of heretofore assumed fundamental physical limits through quantum wizardry.

Something else I read about, that doesn't sound like it involves far out voodoo tech to me, that I wish I'd live long enough to see, is putting a probe out far enough and in the right position, to use the Sun's gravity as a telescope lens.

...and (maybe) actually get pictures of extrasolar planets.

I don't know if those pictures would be like Hubble's view of Pluto, or in principle could be much better.

If I could have one wish for something extraterrestrial, that is more achievable, it would be close up pictures of Haumea. Eris and others too, but Haumea most of all.

I care nothing at all for Mars colonies, but the most exciting thing about Starship for me is the hope that maybe combining it with in-orbit refueling could enable quicker travel to the outer solar system and loitering/orbiting instead of flying by at top speed.
absolute dumpster fire of a company
I'd say no-self directly captures the experience of that mark of existence to those who have experienced it. There's very much a sense of viewing an aggregation of sensations without ownership and no owner to be found. Whatever is being viewed is jumped to and there's a sense of witness being behind the eyes but that's it. The witness can't be located in any reified sense and the witness has no ownership over what it observes.
If someone has a clean commit that is a district unit of functionally and passes all tests, why would that not have simply been committed as an independent change prior to continuing work?

This is exactly the kind of change I’m talking about - the problem is it’s later discovered to have flaws that the tests did not reveal, but enough time has passed that later changes depend on it.

I am not sure I have ever encountered a situation where targeting a single commit to revert would have actually worked(from a rebased merge).

It almost always worked in my experience. The systems we’ve worked on must be architected differently.

If something is worth reverting and was missed by the engineer and the reviewers, it seems the like fix should also atomically contain the explaination with a test to prove the issue was fixed.

Agreed - the problem comes if the fix is not obvious and a fix cannot immediately be applied. In our workflow, when we have belatedly learned of a problem a change is causing, a revert should then be done to keep the integrity of the main branch.

I should stress that this is an exceptional case - but we did see it a few times a year.

> There is never a definitive core belief or core morality that everyone agrees with.

If you mean to use the word “everyone” literally here, then what you are asserting is unfair to human nature (people dissent). If “everyone” is a matter of virtue-based consensus for example, then I beg to differ.
I don't know of any country that uses only free and open source software for its election machines. By your standards, any militant attack after any election woth election machines would be justified, because proprietary software was involved. I reject that reasoning, since it is nonpragmatic to the point of extremism.

Of course it would be ideal to incorporate FOSS into the election process, but this militant attack is both unnecessary to achieve this and unjustifiable based on the weakness of the arguments against election integrity. Also, this attack appears to be aimed at overriding the result of the election, not at increasing FOSS uptake in future elections.

That sounds far more reasonable than the original claim.
I find that when people present these ethical gray areas about a given behavior, they always conclude that it's best to allow the behavior to continue, the (false) premise being that doing so is the ethically neutral position to take. It's a neat little rhetorical trick used to rationalize all kinds of things.

Adding any action to check if you are on the right track helps. Scrum doesn't have any, it assumes the development is subservient to the PO, and the PO is that flawless being that does everything perfectly, even when nobody tells him he has to do it. It also and adds a lot of confusing tasks that distract the PO from this one main goal.

Thus, the odds of a team knowing where they are going reduces drastically if they start doing scrum.

Google Wave was always so condescending about users 'not getting it', but now we have it, it's called Microsoft Teams, and everyone I work with hates it and prefers email.
I think the hate comes from it not being very "noob friendly". It's designed for power users who are familiar with how git works.

In my experience, most git users don't really know how git works fundamentally. They just learn the commands for a particular workflow and stick to that. That's how I started. I've seen this to be especially true for developers coming from SVN or another centralized versioning system.

> Does that not sound Buddhist to you? Did you think Buddhism was the religion of flourishing and positivity? Well, here is the Buddha, excoriating a monk who broke his vow of celibacy: “Worthless man, it would be better that your penis be stuck into the mouth of a poisonous snake than into a woman’s vagina.”

I'm not sure what the problem is here? Someone took a vow of celibacy and broke it. Should he be praised? Are we looking for something more middle class and passive aggressive from the Buddha? He makes his point.

> And here is the Buddha on whether you should be resentful if you’re being dismembered: “Monks, even if bandits were to savagely sever you, limb by limb, with a double-handled saw, even then, whoever of you harbors ill will at heart would not be upholding my Teaching.”

Rhetoric is not helpful now?

It's certainly possible to criticise Buddha, Buddhism, any of the Buddhist religions etc but I would start with my most important or best criticisms, and I don't see these hitting the mark at all.

It's ridiculous that we live in a world where the manufacturer is in the position to set terms of repairs. Once someone buys a piece of equipment it's theirs and they should be allowed to repair and modify it however they see fit.
With all the added stress, emotional difficulties, and all the work and resources needed to deal with this, it’s hardly a victory to just get back what was taken from you unjustly.

We just added something like 85,000 federal employees to shake down our citizens for more sheckes. Yet there’s nothing in place to come down on a mega corporation to pay what they owe? Instead you have to go toe to toe with their teams of highly paid lawyers?

This is modern America. It’s just an endless cycle of getting screwed over and celebrating when we lose because we could have lost so much more.
