trunk was the common name before git anyway. Why the move away? I've heard it's because git is more of a weird graph than the trunk+branch model of CVS. But if that's the reasoning, master is still a stupid name because it implies the same primacy as trunk. Why not just default or start or something?

It's awesome until you want to put the cursor in a specific spot of a previous command.

$ rm -f delete-me.txt
ctrl-r "me", ctrl-b, ctrl-k
$ rm -f delete

But I still use fzf because while I used to do the above, fzf offered more advantage that made switching worth it.

Obviously the first step is an equal doxxing site targeting Truth Social, etc.

Pretty soon all that will be left are the apathetic centrists.

The insane MAGA cult is Trump; they're inseparable. After he dies, Trump's gonna be pickled and put on display like Lenin on the National Mall. They can't let him go.

Wouldn't it be nice if MAGA followed the same rules? Wouldn't it be nice if everyone acted like civilized human beings? Let me know when that happens.

What I would wish for right now is for my state to not speak for me. I do not want my state's flag lowered for someone who promoted hate and violence. I will not celebrate his death, that's kinda sick, but I will definitely not celebrate his life either.

If you think this is actually about antisemitism, you're crazy. It's about attacking and weakening left leaning universities, which are seen as a real threat to MAGA (grads loyal to alma mater, lawyers, respected institutions, etc). Throwing a bone to fellow authoritarians like Netanyahu is a huge bonus.

Kirk's body wasn't even cold before people knew the death penalty was locked in. Your Dad might recognize you but what sick fuck says "yeah, go ahead and execute my kid; here ya go" ?

Doubtful. Mormons aren't going to support murder and Kirk had that veneer of reasonableness that made him the wolf in sheep's clothing that he was. Despite quotes being thrown around, Kirk's fascism was more subtle because otherwise he wouldn't have attracted the uninitiated the way he did.

Mormons will disown him and MAGA will keep their hold on Utah. It might even increase since everyone loves a martyr.

Shallow content comes from trying to manipulate the recommendations algorithm and "go viral". Without a recommendations algorithm, the incentive disappears.

I found it fascinating beyond just the geopolitics of video cards (although the existence of that right there is wild).

It's a really neat look inside China with "real people" (not trade shows, uptight salesmen, or politicians). I don't speak Chinese but it also seemed like Steve Burke had spent a lot of effort learning. He seems very talented and smart while staying humble. That's rare.

Despite it being a 3 hour video about smuggling, the most discomforting thing for me was the left-handed driving in HK and I find that hilarious.

Applying normal engineering practices where human lives are at stake, you build in a safety factor. Your design speed is 25 but it's built to be safe to drive at 50. Drivers figure this out and do 50. Now you have no more safety factor.

If you can't rely on signage, then you need to design roads that aren't safe. There are some obvious ethical considerations with this plan.
