> So I start by creating a few empty-ish commits that are roughly analogous to the tasks you'd break a ticket down into. This is absolutely wild to me, and admittedly not a way I'v…

If I've already pushed my branch, typically I have a draft PR open and tests are being run against it, and I'm not going to force push, because that's obnoxious and I've probably p…

> You said "actual" as-if it was somehow inherently better because it's the "actual" history. But it isn't the "actual" history. So your communication on this point just becomes be…

> You have too! Unless you're recording every keystroke, which I assume you are not. Surely you can understand the difference between omitting less interesting points along a timel…

So now you've erased the record of your actual process, that might be revealing later to someone who's trying to figure out what the heck you were thinking, for the sake of trying …

I wonder if the difference here is in what your quality threshold for a commit is. I commit when I reach a point of coherence in the code, and ensure that the code passes tests bef…

This isn't a novella. We're talking about executable code. What you're suggesting is the equivalent of using an encyclopedia as a legal reference. Merge commits tell the coherent s…

You run tests against each commit in the history that you're rebasing? I doubt it, and I guarantee that nearly nobody using rebase does that.

Okay, but rebasing is changing each point in time of that history–that you curated by choosing when to commit–to be something different from what it ever was, retroactively. It's l…

> rebasing creates a cleaner, more understandable history & state of the world without the clutter of merge commits "Cleaner", for some definition of "clean". In this case, pretty,…

The US is way down the list at 120 for income equality, worse than most of the "developed world". That median hides a lot in a country of over 320 million. https://www.cia.gov/the-…

> Weapons are uniquely special in that they are specifically designed to maim and kill. Via defense or justified actions is irrelevant; it's a tool of war. Arguably, if there was E…

This kind of blows my mind about this, and I'm surprised that everyone seems to be focused on conspiracy theories about Cloudflare instead of the apparent situation that archive.is…

And you have also missed the point. You are correct that they don't have to be dangerous in that situation, but what you describe relies on everyone around you driving in a perfect…

You missed the point. I'm not talking about situations with two vehicles on the road. What happens with regular traffic is that you get someone driving 75mph in the right lane and …

No, you continue traveling at a safe passing speed until there's space to safely move to the right at let the faster vehicle pass. Just be courteous, basically, and don't play vigi…

No. Stop it. This attitude is consistently responsible for the most dangerous road conditions I see driving in America. Keep right except to pass. Period. Everybody traveling the s…

Yeah, and allowing Verizon access has worked out so well that the city is suing them for lack of rollout. Government is not the barrier to competition.

I didn't say I wanted to offer you service, just your neighbor. He's more profitable. You don't get to benefit personally from all the interruption, but in order to have anything a…

So you're cool if I dig up your street very few months? I want to offer service to your neighbor. The government doesn't create local communication monopolies. Anyone who suggests …

PERC is partly the subject of the article: PERC’s affiliation with politically connected outfitters that stand to profit if trails are closed bolsters the sense, to Wilson and othe…

This has absolutely nothing to do with AMP. May I remind you that slow Internet connections are not a new phenomenon. Try browsing the web on a 9600 baud modem. The means for solvi…

Chaos Monkey is just a tool to accelerate/simulate the disorder inherent to the cloud. The original point was that the cloud is unstable and hostile, so software designed for it be…

I think that's an overly narrow definition of the term antifragility and interpretation of the system in this case. While I can imagine software that is in itself antifragile, I th…
