This is one place jj really shines. Using jj new to quickly switch to a new change makes it easier to not drop flow but still break up work. You can come back later and add descriptions or reorder and squash. That way, you don't get into as many situations where splitting a commit is necessary. For those that remain, jj split works well.

I’ve looked at jj, but couldn’t make sense of the proposed benefits. I always stage individual files and never the entire working directory, so I’m confused how it improves that over git.

> An IndyCar is heavier than a Formula 1 car: while a Formula 1 car weighs 1759 pounds / 798 kg including the driver, an IndyCar weighs 1700 pounds / 771 kg on road and street courses, excluding the driver.

This seems to contradict itself.

It was “working” if you didn’t have a pre-existing condition, which could literally be anything the insurance company wanted it to be.

Isn’t idea of insurance at odds with the idea of a pre-existing condition? Like car insurance is a hedge against a crash. We don’t let people buy it after totaling their car.

We really need an alternative system to cover pre-existing and not force it into insurance.

What does it even mean that an ultrawealthy person would "leave" a city? One not unreasonable interpretation is that they would no longer have standing to promote their own interests there at the expense of the rest of the population. As a non-billionaire myself this sounds like a pretty good idea to me; what's good for billionaires is often not so good for everybody else.

I suppose they could take their enterprises with them. Removing jobs and taxes from the local economy.

I love the idea of this. Keep perfectly working things from being made obsolete artificially. They should look at the old Nest Protect next.

I cannot for the life of me understand the Omarchy hype. The Linux community has been theming their distribution installs for decades. What distinguishes this from that?
minton · 3 months ago
> At its core, Omarchy embraces Linux . . . makes a version of it that is accessible and fun to use for developers that don’t have a deep background in operating systems.

This sponsorship is very important for the project. Not for financial reasons, but because it gathered recognition from the company that creates much of the critical infrastructure and bot protection services.

Without this recognition, the engine could have been blocked by impassable CAPTCHAs, which for the end user would mean the project is dead at its roots.

Maybe one company should not be able to decide which browsers we are allowed to use.

The zoomed in view is great if you’re commonly examining under magnification, but perhaps a slightly less zoomed view (or ability to switch between each) might make this more practical for common folks.

We are are migrating back to Docker org-wide after 5 months on Podman.
