@b0rk My impression is that people who value linear commit histories like it for bisect, which is a feature I almost never use, so I'm team actually

I have an impression that when devs make linear commit histories they tend to rewrite it into few, large commits, which may be my real issue because I value many small commits. The tool I use most often is annotate and it works better if each change is in its own commit with its own explanation

@b0rk Or if you had one commit early on that made one change, and a later one that changed the same line, your first conflict resolution would have to resolve it in the manner of the first change, which is not what your final code looks like. So I found it difficult to keep straight what I needed to do. Merge was just easier to avoid mistakes

@b0rk As I recall early on rebase did (and maybe still does?) have problems with conflicts. In that, if you were rebasing 10 commits onto a branch and there was a conflict with the first one, you'd have to resolve the same conflict 10 times.

Eventually I used merge because it was just easier

@Lobrien @b0rk this would make sense from my experience--i was using git early and iirc the tools for rebase were not as good and harder to use when you had a conflict

The "effective altruism" and "effective accelerationism" ideologies that have been cropping up in AI debates are just a thin veneer over the typical blend of Silicon Valley techno-utopianism, inflated egos, and greed. Let's try something else.

Effective obfuscation

Silicon Valley's "effective altruism" and "effective accelerationism" only give a thin philosophical veneer to the industry's same old impulses.

on the upside, found this very funny meme again
@b0rk yes I tried to fill out the card with things I've said what of it
@b0rk the dev in me laughed, the game player in me is annoyed at the placement of "svn was better/worse" because it makes it almost impossible to get a bingo in that row
@b0rk I feel like they switch the meaning of "ours" and "theirs" on context and it's almost never what I expect.

Not sure what to think of this #Bears trade. If you are trading Jaylon as well then the price is less harmful, but...I'm not sure what you're building this defense to be? The vision isn't clear yet.

That said, I feel like this should indicate that Poles at least is sticking around. You shouldn't let your GM trade such a useful future asset if he's on the hot seat
