Nice to see some seemingly jujutsu inspired features getting into Git core. git history reword ~= jj describe git history split ~= jj split https://git-scm.com/docs/git-history htt…

It's not even the same ballpark.

Definitely. Should have phrased it as "cant's see it's that reasonable a use of time _for most people_".

I was on my 3rd Synology over the last 12 years or so. They were solid and something I didn't have to pay attention to. But the drive lock-in tipped me over the edge when I needed …

It doesn't seem like you're talking about the same thing the article is. Graham doesn't say "you must be a good writer to be a good thinker". > This is only true of writing that's …

Nest thermostats have a heat and cool mode where you have setpoints for each. On older ones there was a limit on how close the two could be set.

VS Code brought Language Server Protocol, so I don't think the "vision" balance is as one-sided as you imply.

I believe it's because it's from The World Ahead issue, which iirc always has bylines unlike the normal weekly paper.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see that called out anywhere. I don't believe that's true anymore, but correct me if I'm wrong. For reference I double checked here: https://www.oracle…

I personally haven't had a reason to use Oracle's because I like having the latest version and any actively maintained LTS versions available for development and would prefer to us…

You can get a paid commercial support license for Oracle's JDK to get an extended maintenance window. But Oracle's publicly available builds don't require a paid license. However,t…

Oracle's builds of Java are open source as well. The OpenJDK codebase is shared across all of the vendors that provide builds.
