    That may be so but Claude code certainly has rendering glitches in other terminals too.

    I use jj but not mega merges. But as I understand it you're not going to push the merge itself for review. It allows you to work locally on multiple branches at once. But when read…

    I’m a Mozilla employee who works on Firefox, so I’ll try to answer this to the best of my knowledge but as a disclaimer I can’t guarantee I’m 100% correct Paying for relay will giv…

    But I don’t know what the formatter of choice is. Nor do I care what it is. I just want to format my code

    Did you consider using wgpu instead of writing a new dx11 renderer? It has metal, vulkan and dx12 backends so could have been used for a single renderer for macOS windows and Linux…

    I am a Firefox developer, and you're spot on. Previously there were separate hg repos for central, beta, release. I think ESRs too. And autoland. Now they're all branches in the sa…

    That problem is solved by preventing forced pushes. Rewriting history locally is encouraged.

    You can not use it. I rarely do, but I love zed, it's fast and the LSP (rust and clangd in my case) just work

    Perhaps it's because you didn't start the exchange with enquiry, but instead claimed that what happens in your country is "exactly what every country does"

    I'm not sure what should be done about it, but again don't see the relevance of that question. Your argument was that there's value to be had out of such a debate, which there isn'…
