git command line or significantly better in sublime. So, I wouldn't use the web interface at all, most likely, except to find instructions for how to clone locally. I prefer what gitea/gitbucket/github do with the UI/UX.Like, filling so much space with text like this is bizarre to me:
> commit
> 526e79c8c4037c2fcbee50acc2d9be1992b60893

Human beings can't read and recognize hashes like that, so this is conveying nearly 0 information and is causing cognitive load--a UI/UX dark pattern for sure. It should be removed. A better display would show the commit graph, or a small fragment of it, with the first 5 chars of the hash (or whatever length git accepts as an abbreviation). You'd at least have some hope of holding that in your brain's short-term memory and understanding relationships. Obviously a better display is the whole commit tree with the current commit highlighted. In any case I think it's undeniable that
526e7 -> 5b5fa (with clickable links) conveys effectively the same information using significantly less screen real estate and causing significantly less cognitive load. To me it looks like someone was at a loss for what to display so they filled the screen with noise.
git, neither of which I like. I don't feel like I'm getting anything in the web interface I can't already get from git command line or significantly better in sublime.

Anyway, I've survived about 6 days in *The Forest* now, have a home base set up in a very good spot, have made a bow and arrow which is good for killing the cannibals and hunting food, and am getting close to feeling like I'm self sufficient.
If you're worried about moderators silencing people then yes, yes they should have that power. And the community values should be very clear about where the lines are and how to deal with moderators who cross them.
scala community that more or less acts this way and fights with the rest of the community, which finds it appalling.
We saw a glimpse of this already, with the guy who "soft doxxed" me. Imagine if 90% of yarn users were doing stuff like that all day every day. I'd certainly leave pretty quickly--I don't have time for that, and I don't have the free time or the inclination to try to fight it. You also see how difficult the situation could become when you have to turn off registrations to keep spam accounts from signing up. All it takes is one forum of shitheads to conspire to mass-join yarn and be bad actors, and *poof* this experiment ends up like 4chan.
I guess that's more of an "authoritarian" versus "not authoritarian" division, but that's how things tend to shake out in the US these days (this book goes into some depth about how you measure authoritarian tendencies, and how closely correlated those measures are with Republican vs. Democrat--or right wing vs. left wing if you prefer--in the US 1). These politics things are never simple, so no one person is going to be fully left-wing or right-wing about every single topic and I don't mean to imply that. And I also don't want to get into a long thread trying to defend or elaborate on what I'm saying here!
Footnote (a quote from the introduction to the book *The Authoritarians*):
> Authoritarianism is something authoritarian followers and authoritarian
leaders cook up between themselves. It happens when the followers submit too
much to the leaders, trust them too much, and give them too much leeway to do
whatever they want--which often is something undemocratic, tyrannical and
brutal. In my day, authoritarian fascist and authoritarian communist dictatorships
posed the biggest threats to democracies, and eventually lost to them in wars
both hot and cold. But authoritarianism itself has not disappeared, and I=m going
to present the case in this book that the greatest threat to American democracy
today arises from a militant authoritarianism that has become a cancer upon the
nation.=

yarn ever becomes super popular watch out!
castor browser, which can browse both gemini and gopher URLs. I had a gemini-only browser before but now I can fall down both rabbit holes with one app!
ssh-keygen -R "bitreich.org" after this experience 🤢
I hope the other links are helpful!
Yeah maybe we don't need to be fucking up the environment at this rate just to play with chatbots.
And even if the current owners are well-intentioned, all it takes is one buyout, one resignation, one gigantic investor, etc etc etc to change that dynamic.
That said, I personally don't believe it matters much because virtually any entity, including foundations and other non-corporate structures, are similarly vulnerable in the current economic climate. But let's not give corporations more credit than they deserve.

I don't have super strong opinions about such things. I was just adding context to @ocdtrekkie's post since they hadn't yet and you asked. Personally I think most entities shy of fully worker-owned coops are doomed to be horrible at some point in the current economic environment, but there aren't very many of those.

A strategy I like a lot is the one that the pijul source control system uses. They designed a representation of patches where you can apply almost all patches (change sets/feed edits) in any order without generating conflicts, and when conflicts do arise you can detect and localize them and then ask the user to figure themselves out.
Reading over it again, I'm realizing that my memory of what we included is pretty skewed, oops 😕 We did survey some CS education literature to get a sense for how long it took to learn to program according to educators, but it looks like we left out that survey (for lack of space I think? but also because of the audience). The guesstimate about how long it takes to learn a natural language is sourced from the US Department of State. I'll have to dig through my notes to find where I got the corresponding guesstimate about learning to program.
I totally agree with you about diversity being a very important factor. I definitely have not paid this due attention in the writings I've done about CS education. Two links that might be of interest to you that I stumbled on recently:
- A blog post suggesting there's really no such thing as "learning to code". People learn how to program in a specific domain, and a good fraction of what they learn is not transferable to another domain (the blog posts goes a bit into why that might be). So learning programming is a much more nuanced pursuit
- Amy J. Ko, a CS education researcher at the University of Washington in the US whose interests and work includes the relationship between diversity issues and computing.
Wish I had a better answer for you!

> Musk's Twitter takeover has led to a lot of shocked pearl-clutching, but if you've been paying attention to his businesses at all over the past decade, the brutal slash-and-burn approach he's taken is unsurprising.
Forever a con man asshole. You could be forgiven for not knowing that before, but nowadays there's no longer any excuse to pretend he's some billionaire genius philanthropist Tony Stark in real life character. That was always an act.
Incidentally @prologic, previously you wondered about playbooks. Check out Musk's ^

Expertise requires quite a bit more time!
Don't know if I posted this one before, but this language is interesting (to me). I like the internalized support for Datalog, and the explicit handling of effects.
This does look hyperfine 😏
- conspiracy to defraud the US government
- conspiracy to make a false statement
- obstruction of Congress
- incitement of insurrection
I wonder how that will play out. He couldn't have survived two impeachments, stolen highly sensitive classified materials, and stayed out of the crosshairs this long after leaving office without a lot of inside help.
