I'm a fan of rebase myself, but understand the point made above. For me, the biggest pro of a clean history is when doing `git blame`. If the history is clean and the commits are good, it might solve my issue. On the other hand, if the commit in question is a huge mess of unrelated things it doesn't help me at all. I also find it way easier to review a PR with a clean, well-described history.
A friend of mine who lives in los angeles made a sad laugh when I complained "ugh, my subways are 12 mins apart". So I suspect public transport in los angeles forces people into cars because the other options suck.
It reads like "life is suffering" and tbf unless you were born in first world high class that's hard to argue against.
Still, that'd mean that there's failure in parenting, as gen z seems to be ill-equipped to handle what's there - assuming that's all there is to it.

It's not the distance; it's the time. Walking 20 minutes to a subway station only to wait 10-20 minutes on an unreliable train to take a 10-45 minute subway ride only to finish with another 20 minute walk is not remotely efficient. I've calculated in my city that for some routes, it's only barely twice as fast to take the subway over walking the entire way. Spending over an hour one way is not acceptable when it takes less than half that time to just drive, even in heavy traffic.

The summary is that traditional sources of meaning — marriage, friends, patriotism, career, childbearing, and faith — are now devalued, and cell phones offer in their place corporate solutions that are harmful.

As can be expected, Haidt and the poster argue that solutions are found at the level of the cell phone and limiting access to it, rather than improvements at the social level where the boomer, gen x, and increasingly millennial generations continue to fail to deliver meaning through the aforementioned institutions.

If Gen Z could look to society and especially older generations for

- interpersonal relationships based on cooperation rather than competition

- work that was meaningfully compensated rather than exploitative

- governments that were responsive to their constituents rather than self-serving

- social support systems that reward rather than punish parenting, or

- religious institutions that delivered compassion and moral goodness rather than prejudice and contempt,

then I think it could be argued that folks could find meaning in these institutions instead of behind a phone screen. Until then the complaints about social decay are almost insulting.

When, to your estimation, did cities become “car dependent”? Most cities have been car centric since long before Gen Z.

Real wage growth has been stalled out since the 1970s, several generations before Gen Z.
No, the alternatives are less complex, and easier to get right.

Further: the article you linked to describes the attack we are talking about right now on this thread, a fully remote fault attack that harvested keys off random SSH servers on the Internet, as "a completely theoretical hardware attack". (Narrator: it was not; further, this is that "completely theoretical" attack in its most difficult setting.)
Just get certified Thunderbolt 4 and be done with it then. Cheaper is TB3. If you stick with the legit ones you're done and it will basically support everything.
I'm a millenial myself, and not a parent so parents please correct me. 4. Modern parenting is torture for children.

Up until the teenage years kids need to feel useful. They need to be able to help fix things, etc. They need to get into a little bit of trouble and get dinged up a bit.

Teenagers need a lot more freedom. Every ounce of their body is pushing them to distance themselves from their family, have sex and take risks. Instead parents insist on this "no drugs, no sex" policy. Of course both of those things can present major problems, which is why they should be discussed but not forbidden. Even sex ed today is maximizing fear and pushing waiting until marriage which is just as bad.

As the parent points out, living in a car dependent city with nowhere to go and no way to get there leaves you no choice but to stay home. Staying home means tv, internet and video games. Parents are out on a holy war against that as well.

Are you suffocating yet? Now remember that in addition to everything above your texts, location, browsing history, grades, etc. are all being tracked and reported for your parents to further control you. Could you imagine if you were treated like this as an adult. You'd have a civil war.

Let them fuck. Let them work. Let them do drugs. Let them make mistakes for christ sake. All of these things have consequences and are worth keeping in mind. But coddling them until 18 and expecting them to be functional is like raising an elephant from birth isolated until adulthood then releasing them to the african savannah. They'll be dead before sunset.
My driver's education in Colorado included going out on a frozen lake and practicing counter-steering into a slide, as well as a sense of how cars behave in slippery conditions. Very good skill to have for icy mountain driving.

You can also find an empty parking lot after a snow storm and do donuts for "education". Just avoid light poles ;)
Yes, unless you use unsafe code.

There's is evidence for it. (Plato's account) Is it good evidence? that's up for debate clearly.

whats strange is that plato's account of Atlantis is detialed with specific measurements and descriptions of the layout of the city, ( and its temples, and the organization of the society.) This level of detail interpreted by some as an attempt to describe a real place rather than a purely symbolic or allegorical one.

Unlike other Greek myths (or allegories), the story of atlantis is not populated with gods interfering in the affairs of men, mythical creatures, or heroes of divine descent. Plato didnt have a track record of fabricating tales completely, especially since he presents atlantis in a matter-of-fact way within dialogues that are otherwise serious philosophical texts.
This is the big one for me. destroying Commit information just to keep the graph tidy is a bad idea in my opinion. It would be better if Git provided better tools for filtering the log, e.g. providing some mechanism to elide commits from parents of any merge commit other than the 1st.

> huge companies who bear no cost for supporting the Matrix ecosystem whatsoever discover they can sell proprietary forks for many $

What, exactly, are you talking about here, Matthew?
True, it's a pretty dumb idea

On consumer networks at least, there is normally a queue scheduling stage where customers are weighted equally. So this would just sieze bandwidth from other connections from the same household. I think a similar thing usually happens on hosting platforms etc
Squash merges are rebases.
* Regarding "splitting commits in an interactive rebase is hard" - I actually use `git reset` (to unmake a commit) followed by several instances of `git add -i` (to add individual changes into a commit) + `git commit` (to actually make the commits). If the commits to be split are in a middle of something, it's possible to do all of this inside a `git rebase -i`...

...which is exactly what is suggested in the section linked in the article, https://github.com/kimgr/git-rewrite-guide#split-a-commit.

* Regarding "weird interactions with merge commits" - `git rebase --rebase-merges` tends to help most of the time, since, during a rebase, merge commits are skipped by default (even if they contain changes).
Not really, no. Lightning is still payments, multi-party and multi-hop. If the entire realm of Blockchain and smart contract technology was restricted to just payments, well I suppose that would be something. But far short of the total revolution of societal structure that was promised. I personally wouldn’t care to work on it if that was the case. Lightning is an implementation of distributed payments. Smart contracts are an implementation of decentralized law.

Your link to the mailing list thread describes essentially the same approach that bitcoin has for dealing with lock times. I would not normally describe this as “scriptless scripts,” which I have understood to me using the signing operation itself to achieve some goal that would otherwise be done in script. The locktime here is still enforced by special cased code of the consensus algorithm. If the number of things you want to do are fixed and enumerable then I suppose this is a valid approach. But it does not allow for general, arbitrary, future-defined constraints.

To give a concrete, simple example: show me how to do a return peg validation on scriptless scripts. If it can’t even do that, it is not a replacement for scripts.
That's awesome to know. I remember reading his blog years ago when he was setting up Green Arrays
My theory is that this type of propaganda has always been around. What happened was that before the pandemic people were conditioned to keep their heads down and pretend everything is great. Dissent was a pipe dream. With the shock of the pandemic now the "drones" are no longer playing nice which leads to the overlords turning the propaganda machine to 11 and the absurdity of shit pieces like this from wsj or hbr
Why is it on Hacker news when a "Twitter" topic comes up we get a bunch of people pontificating as "free speech maximalists" but when a journalism topic comes up people can call journalism "doxxing" without the "free speech maximalists" making an appearence and scolding them on the evils of censorship?
MIT physicists turn pencil lead into "gold"
For me the big gain is at the code review stage. It's much easier to review a set of patches that are a clear and distinct sequence of changes without "oops, fix bug" changes later in the series. It does require extra work by the code author, but it means less work for the code reviewer. Depending on the project and the organisation and the workflow, that can be a worthwhile tradeoff.

I take this stance. Almost always, the new software is worse in some way than the old, either taking away some capability to make room for a new product you would have to buy, or by breaking support with hardware you already own. It's my position that software was almost universally better 20 years ago.

>financial insecurity

I think financial expectations are warped, too.

Look at the viral TikTok video from a few weeks ago, where a recent marketing graduate was wondering why she wasn't making $100k right out of school. Or I recently saw a Twitter discussion where someone said, "Sure you can raise a family on a $100k, but you'll have to do it in 1000sqft. Who wants to do that?". We, I am, and I'm as happy as I've ever been.

Financial inequality has completely skewed what is seen as "normal". We need to fix both that perception, and the actual inequality.
This generation grew up in the middle of at least two of those economic crises, has witnessed countless riots, faced down a soul-crushing pandemic at the peak of their childhood, and has lived their entire life without even a shred of hope in their political system. The few of us who got blessed by the tech lottery live comfortably, while the rest live with no hope of making a decent living, owning our own house, or starting a family.

This article discusses Gen Z diving into their phones as a symptom of the generational malaise, but don't mistake the symptom for the cause.

Are these not literally a laundry list of conservative talking points? And, by the way, you can be conservative without being MAGA.

Love — “Monogamy is so outdated.”

Community — “I have enough friends online.”

Country — “I’m embarrassed to be an American.”

Work — “I’m quiet-quitting.”

Family — “I’m not bringing kids into this melting world.”

Faith — “My parents are such naive Bible thumpers. By the way, what’s your star sign?”

Plato saying something is absolutely true actually makes me think it's more likely he's talking about an allegory, given his hierarchy of what he considered 'real'.
They grant the organisation (in this case a for-profit) the exclusive right to redistribute the project (and contributions made to it) under a different license. Including a proprietary licence.

It is only required if you intend to move to an open-core model, or intend to eventually make the project non-open-source entirely. This is a common first step for many organisations that have moved in this direction.

The announcement even makes it clear that they intend to ship versions for a fee, so it's very likely that we'll see a "community edition" and a "full edition" at some point. Or some other model which amounts to the same general idea.
> Whatever precipitating causes led to such suffering, know that we're _here_, _now_, together.

The article comments on this though:

"All the things that have traditionally made life worth living — love, community, country, faith, work, and family — have been “debunked.”

This is absolutely true and no wonder young folks are feeling down. I think the counter-culture types starting 50+ years ago wanted to tear down the old, but forgot to put something constructive in its place. (Well the leftist/Marxist types tried, but then the USSR imploded)
then we can avoid buying from them. A super cheap price may not be worth the trouble.
I think one key thing is, games are designed to be winnable. Despite what we tell children, in the real world, often clever ideas and hard work come to nothing.
I worked that way in my first job with a big consulting firm in the early 1990s. Better tools were available by then but a lot of client sites didn't have them. So you had a 3270 terminal and had to submit jobs for compiles. The queue could be several hours if the mainframe was busy, and fewer resources were available to developers than for running production. So time spent "desk checking" your code would often pay off in having to run fewer compiles.
My dad, who wanted to move us to America for a long time, got his start in programming and the ability to achieve that goal thanks to punch cards. Hope it’s ok to share my anecdote thanks for bringing this memory up.

He has a basic certificate in metallurgy, and he had a job delivering punch cards from an IT company office to where they would be executed. He would wait, collect the printouts, and head back. I guess curiosity got to him and he got to know the guys there and started on his path of programming. It led to be able to move to America for a better life.

Long story short, my dad and punch cards as well as some super lucky karma are the reason I’m able to have a better life today :) thankful to this piece of tech.
We've already spread out a lot. Should young people be living acres away from the next house and an hours drive from their friends? I'm not sure that'll solve loneliness and disconnection.

Not to mention that these days, even doing that won't save you much, or in some cases, post pandemic you'll be paying a premium.
I'm sure the general hopelessness of younger generations has nothing at all to do with the facts that:

- They get paid less (in terms of actual purchasing power) than any prior generation in memory.

- They are saddled with mountains of education debt their elders told them to take on if they want a good job (which they usually never got).

- They cannot get the security and long-term investment that is owning a house, which was much easier for older generations.

- Food and college and other basics of survival and upward mobility are costing more and more every year, outpacing inflation, which itself is outpacing wages.

I really think this is a much simpler explanation for a generation-wide malaise than the popular (with older generations), but infantilizing, explanation of a social media addiction. Not getting paid a fair amount for your hard work, and it being so obvious that you are indeed not getting paid a fair amount, will be demoralizing to anyone of any background.

I sympathize: even filing radars internally at Apple gets much of the same treatment, albeit with the ability to see the state of the radar.
I personally have good internet access because of Starlink. Before that I had very poor options. Living outside of a metro area is a nightmare for internet access. People living in cities take it for granted but it's a complete game changer for my entire neighborhood. Big corps treated us like shit and wanted exorbitant amounts of money to run cables to us.

How is providing access to the internet not an awesome thing for society?

There are millions of people in my same situation for which this system is doing good.

It's not when the infrastructure is well-designed for it. There's a new grocery store a little over a mile away from me that I've biked to a few times now and that's not so bad, though there are thankfully some quieter back streets that can take me to it. Looking at that Google Maps view GP posted though I'm not sure I'd feel safe riding there.
What nonsense. If the phone's your problem, just put it down. Stay away from it. Give it back to your parents. I'm sure they'd love to pare down that data plan. It costs money after all.

As a millenial, things weren't that different for us. We had AoL, ICQ, MSN messenger. Folks played Quake, Starcraft, Everquest. WoW came out just as many of us entered university. Some of us flunked out because we gamed too much.

To Gen Z: Look, there are no substitutes for hard work and self control. If it's important, work at it. If it's bad for you, put it down. Delay isn't going to change anything. An 18 year old smoker is just as addicted as a 10 year old smoker.

We can make progress once people start taking responsibility for themselves.

It's also an issue with computers. Macs in particular.
This blog post is an incredibly Conservative (capital C) take on social issues, to the point where it reads like it was written by the very same kind of person that and Gen Z and millennials are often griping about to begin with.

It starts out, off the bat, by reframing structural social issues as individual failures: it's mental illness, suicide, anxiety, cancel culture, coddling. Then it tries to make the point that phones enable this sort of collective doom-scrolling escapism.

Then it tries to present an actual anecdote from a Gen Z person to reinforce the viewpoint that liberal ideology (non-monogamy, shame about American issues, quiet-quitting, climate change, anti-religion) are the cause of this discontent... but then instead of addressing any of them, it tries again to reframe those issues as a personal addiction to smartphones. As if Gen Z would be happier simply by turning off their phones (which is probably true, granted, but doesn't really address any of the underlying social issues).

It's a weird strawman: Nevermind that the world is broken. You're just on your phone too much.

Then what happens after they turn it off? Still a shit economy, no good jobs unless you want to work in tech or finance (and even then...), climate change getting worse, nobody can afford housing, education is increasingly worthless, culture wars are getting more polarized...

I'd argue the opposite cause/effect: People are on their phones so much because that's all that's left to do in a dying world, because previous generations hoarded so much for themselves there's nothing left for the future.
