You mean `jj advance bookmarks`? It still seems like a pain to not just have it happen automatically on `commit`. (I use the "experimental" auto-advance-bookmarks feature, but it's…

I honestly get the sense that several, or possibly most, jj maintainers truly are not familiar with the "typical" way devs use git. They really do not seem to consider branches wit…

I still don't understand your point. The comment you responded to says: >As a general rule, if someone ever posts any kind of career troubles on any platform, the only correct resp…

I don't understand your point; what other type of messages are you saying should be acceptable as a response to a post about career troubles?

Why are you conflating "no intention of doing a rewrite" with his actual wording, "we haven’t committed to rewriting"? The latter does not at all indicate that there would definite…

What makes you say that?

This seems to be missing the point. Sometimes users see error messages. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're bad; and yeah, software engineers should endeavor to make sure tha…

> Reading C++ for dummies even though I had untreated ADHD and couldn’t sit still long enough to get much past std::cout. You may have lucked out. I also didn't get terribly far in…

Like a lot of blog posts, this feels like a premise worth exploring, lacking a critical exploration of that premise. Yes, "inevitabilism" is a thing, both in tech and in politics. …

If 20% of people really think they'd be better off as factory workers, that's actually kind of a lot. Can you imagine if 20% of the working population really did work in factories?…

...okay, so what is "PI lockfree"?

Nobody said anything about RISC-V being "perfect" or not. The problem isn't how good RISC-V is or isn't; it's that your desire for software to target one and only one type of hardw…

So the "right way" is to replace all hardware with new hardware, and the second-best solution is for CISC systems to emulate a specific RISC architecture? And you think this will b…

Are you proposing a kernel that would only run on risc-v hardware, or expecting that people would run some kind of emulator? ....or do you think that because RISC-V is "standard", …

Any good Vim-emulator extension has macro support. VSCode also has an extension that lets you run the actual neovim server to manage your text buffer. The settings GUI in VSCode is…

Precisely true, but from a PHP background, I assume there's not much to prepare you for this.

What are you talking about? Even the standard library is littered with `any` and reflection. Look at how JSON serialization works.

That's...not...how threads or async work...? > Blocking I/O executed on another thread, with a callback to execute when done, becomes async I/O (from the user's PoV). That's not wh…

Okay, that's quite funny. Thank you.

That's...not precisely true. The C++ standard doesn't specify how std::async works, and for a while GCC just ran the operation sequentially, and later both GCC and Clang launched n…

Honestly, this is better than the article itself.

Well, yeah. Hence the rest of my comment. And if you don't go through glibc, then you still must follow the C ABI rules (since that's the only thing the kernel understands), and yo…

Sure. You can re-implement everything starting with the Kernel, as long as you don't have to interface with any of the C microcode on the hardware itself. And, yeah, people are doi…

It's "organic" because, as this article is pointing out, creating alternatives is really difficult due to this exact lock-in, both at the OS level and at the hardware-vendor level.…

You still have to follow the C ABI when interfacing with C. That's the exact problem being called out in the post. Zig solves interoperability by incorporating an entire copy of LL…
