You know one of the people who died (a child) was extremely concerned about the safety of the sub, right? The CEO mislead and lied. To blame the victims here is disrespectful to say the least.
And what do the people who are actively trying to sabotage repos deserve?
You’re not being cynical Rippling is actual dogshit. We use Gusto and like it a lot.

I’m glad you pulled inspiration from it! Thanks for continuing the push to improve the git user experience. Looks very clean.

This looks very similar to bit CLI - https://github.com/chriswalz/bit
Re:ChatMe – Charlie: AI Chat Support Bot for Discord on Tuesday March 28, 2023 @07:25PM (#35349544)
For anyone who runs a large discord server (>1k users). It can be massive pain to handle questions over and over. I've tried combatting this with hiring more moderators, creating FAQs and even creating a bot that does string matching keywords with canned answers. Unfortunately none of this is robust enough and leaves a lot to be desired.

With ChatMe - Charlie, you can teach Charlie and be up in running in less than 60 seconds. This tool makes running your own AI very trivial. If you find this useful please let me know!

Let me know if you have questions.

Is this a ChatGPT response?
Re:Video Game Pricing [video] on Monday August 16, 2021 @03:14PM (#28201716)
I found it weird how the video doesn’t account for the massive economies of scale that AAA companies have access to. The audiences & market size are way bigger now than they were back in the day.
If they don’t share it we can safely assume it’s shitty
Thank you!
Does anyone know where companies get those style of illustrations from? I always see them
I think it’s easy to conflate the two since news articles tend to not make a clear distinction unfortunately. Try searching “men buzzfeed” and then “women buzzfeed”. Go to news section on Google. One search will result in positive/uplifting for one gender and quite the opposite for the other

This is a good point! It's worth noting there is a maximum number of transactions that can fit into one block

Haha thank you!
I feel like mine isn't that beautiful but I'll show it anyway - https://github.com/chriswalz/bit

It's a CLI "enhancer" for git

Re:Bit (1.0) – a modern Git CLI in Go on Saturday February 27, 2021 @02:43PM (#26287534)
Agreed. There can be tighter integration with third party tools as well like GitHub and Gitlab among others
Re:Bit (1.0) – a modern Git CLI in Go on Saturday February 27, 2021 @01:09PM (#26286749)
Bit uses cobra a little but for the autocomplete it uses https://github.com/c-bata/go-prompt

After a user runs `bit checkout <branch-name>` bit will run `git pull --ff-only` behind the scenes
Re:Bit (1.0) – a modern Git CLI in Go on Saturday February 27, 2021 @01:00AM (#26283026)
That's a good question. I'm not 100% sure but you may be right. I'll have to do some investigating
Re:Bit (1.0) – a modern Git CLI in Go on Friday February 26, 2021 @11:52PM (#26282727)
Yes, I think something like this could be done. Feel free to file a feature request
Re:Bit (1.0) – a modern Git CLI in Go on Friday February 26, 2021 @11:51PM (#26282716)
It'd be an honor to collaborate with them :)
Re:Bit (1.0) – a modern Git CLI in Go on Friday February 26, 2021 @11:48PM (#26282706)
I'm using modern loosely as anything that improves upon the git CLI. Examples being: autocomplete suggestions, sorting branches by most recent, the ability to check out PR's from Github, and auto-fast-forwarding a branch when possible. In addition to some convenience commands like `bit info` and `bit save`.
Re:Bit (1.0) – a modern Git CLI in Go on Friday February 26, 2021 @10:09PM (#26282253)
Hi all,

I'm the creator of Bit. Bit is all about making your life just a little bit easier. It helps you spend less time fiddling with Git and more time developing code.

Whether it's autocompletion at your finger tips, sorting branches by most recent, checking out PR's with ease or auto-fast-forwarding when possible - Bit has your back!
