There's something ironic with having project specific variants in a style guide.

How does leaving a monorepo help? It implies you aren't testing dependents on every change?

This is not limited to non technical users. Plenty of people don't care to switch between models and just pick the latest model.

Re:Good Culture Is the Biggest Productivity Hack, Not AI on Saturday August 29, 2026 @06:51PM (#49494037)
Most people have only a handful of job experiences to think through how things work or should work, so articles like this help broaden one's perspective.

PRs very frequently contain more than 1 logical change.

https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj/discussions/3549 let's you change this behavior.

I think the idea is that branches/bookmarks aren't as necessary as they are with git.

Re:Defeating Git Rigour Fatigue with Jujutsu on Monday May 25, 2026 @11:08AM (#48267778)
jujutsu presents the same amount of power with fewer ideas, eg. There is no staging area. It adds new features, like jj undo.

The un-learning curve is steep if you already know git very well.

https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj/discussions/3549 lets you enable automatically advancing bookmarks.

Tcgplayer is mostly a marketplace, I don't think physical presence does anything for them.

Shouldn't you be able to answer that?
Being visible is useful, this is probably better suited for an ide than a hook or a daemon.

It depends on what you're publishing to, but works with most other tools by using a bookmark for each publish target.
There are numerous other ways to publish games. Is it really rent-seeking to own and maintain the most popular game publishing platform?
Re:NixOS 25.11 Released on Sunday November 30, 2025 @04:13PM (#46100468)
Level 1 is using nix to install packages, which you can do by writing a flake like.

The arguments probably come from the fact that flakes are 'experimental', but de facto widely used.

Re:C++ move semantics from scratch (2022) on Saturday November 08, 2025 @01:02PM (#45858588)
&& is not a pointer to a pointer, it's a temporary value. There is a huge amount of cognitive overhead in normal cpp usage because over time we have found that many of the default behaviors are wrong.

Re:Jujutsu for Everyone on Monday September 01, 2025 @01:34PM (#45094799)
In git remote branches have no notion of an upstream branch either, it's a fully local construct you end up responsible for annotating.

Re:Carbon Language: An experimental successor to C++ on Thursday July 31, 2025 @03:01PM (#44748942)
Carbon is just trying to bring a rust-like edition to cpp, there's no reason for non cpp users to Carbon.
I also have very few always on segments, and many conditional segments that only show up when useful. Host shows when I'm not on the usual, user when I'm not me, and stuff like that.
I hope to not age out of trying out new tools other people like!
This and command duration if the command ran longer than 10 seconds are the most useful things to add.
Choosing which segments to show is the main the to configure. It's even one of the preset example to hide versions: https://starship.rs/presets/no-runtimes

I agree there's a lot of noise that seems to be there by default.
