> After reading about the default mode network here a few times recently, I think missing out on all that critical "daydreaming" time is a bigger problem. Part of the reason why I …

I write mostly for myself. That's a trite I guess observation considering that I happen to write a lot of private notes. But I think writing for broadcasting is overrated. Journali…

If works/doesn't are semantic checkpoints, then I use that every day for myself with Git notes.

Many years ago I helped a friend with some draft that had to do with him finishing his doctorate. It ended up being maybe 50-60 between three of us and as fine grained as possible.…

Absolutely. You didn't have to make an account to remind me, at least. His relationship with Epstein was shameful and there is no excuse for it.

IMO that is only a problem for those who demand that the issue key needs to go first in the subject (which again IMO is bad for readability). I don't see why you can't just stick i…

Want machine-readable? Use the footers/trailers. I can not say anything nice about conventional commits. The format takes up space in the most-read part of the message. The categor…

Does that show Jensen in a better light?

It took me many years to even think of problems that I wanted to solve. Or were missing. But eventually it happened. And it seems that the more time passes the more that list of id…

Setting up a Mac user account. What accessibility settings do you need? - [four options/catgories] - Remind me Later (or something) And I guess the Later option is technically accu…

I wrote an essay and sent it to Chomsky once. He wrote back that he probably won't have time to read it. Some years ago I realized that I can just start sending emails to an OSS ma…

I really like the Oracle tutorial on Java asserts. https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/langu... And I'm pretty happy with its design considering its age. Notably…

Pretty recent Git versions have git-last-modified(1) which can list all files along with the last modified commit.

1st May is celebrated in many parts of the world as International Worker’s Day or Labor Day. The date was chosen by the American Federation of Labor to commemorate the strike that …

> Maybe the worst part about this is that it can entirely come from a patch being exported by git and then imported straight back in to git. No one wants to apply diffs in commit m…

git-am(1) (apply patches) delimits the commit message from the patch/diff by looking for (1) a line `---` or (2) a line that starts with `diff -` or (3) a line that starts with `In…

Yeah it’s a direct inspiration.

I don’t know what the semantics of invoking Git means? These two commands operate on the same level of abstraction. And they should be equally powerful, which means that whichever …

Neither of these two commands are any more really-operates than the other.

The git-restore(1) implementation looks like about 35 lines of code. Then add a little more complexity for some apparent common functions that needed to be factored out. For a dedi…

Didn't Go propose opt-out telemetry but then the community said no? Compilers and whatnot seem to suffer from the same problem that programs like git(1) does. Once you've put it ou…

Git relatively recently got an `--i-still-use-this` option for two deprecated commands that you have to run if you want to use them. The error you get tells you about it and that y…

Let's say that this is obsolete for professional programming. Can't us hobbyists be left alone to our hobby by the LLM demoralization patrol?

> incorporated in Git.[1] Dangling footnote. I decided against adding one and forgot to remove it.
