What's commonly known as git "squash merge" is more aptly described as "squash rebase".

git squash-merge — for people who hate:

* Long-lived branches
* Change history
* Parallel/decoupled maintainence of application/features and CI pipelines.
* Nice things.

With so many places having done layoffs lately, I wanted to mention the US Digital Service is hiring. It's a wild place to work, but also you get to work on legitimately meaningful projects that affect a lot of people (in 2022, we made it easier for transgender ppl to get passports, helped low-income families buy food, and I got to help identify disadvantage communities for environmental funding). I'm happy to talk about USDS if you're on the fence. http://ow.ly/LpqJ50LVnPV #fedihire #fedijobs

Apply to USDS | United States Digital Service

The United States Digital Service is transforming how the federal government works for the American people. And we need you.

Raw version of the side-scroll prevention script:

```js
if (
navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Chrome') < 0 &&
navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Safari') > 0
) {
document.addEventListener('scroll', function () {
if (document.documentElement.scrollLeft > 0) { document.documentElement.scrollLeft = 0;
}
});
}
```

Since JSON is pronounced Jason (this is an undisputed fact), I declare DNS is now pronounced Dennis.

It's not DNS
There's no way its DNS
It was DNS

Becomes....

It is not Dennis
There is no way its Dennis
Yep, it was Dennis

And here is a picture of Dennis in his natural habitat.

Putting `overflow-x: hidden;` on <body/> is the obvious fix, but it has the side-effect of completely preventing the use of `position: sticky` anywhere on the page — a no-go solution.

The only other solution is to make <body/> the page scroll container…

```css
body {
height: 100vh;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
```

Which works great until you start working with any 3rd-party script solutions that blindly assume <html/> is the scroll-container, giving lots of borked behavior.

Apple's insitent failure to support `overflow-x: hidden` on the `<html/>` element (alone) in Safari is causing me much grief.

(In Safari 16+ `overflow-x: clip` works as a workaround but that leaves all older versions still affected.)

Long story short, having weighed all other options, I'm forced to add a heavy-handed scroll-event listener that insta-resets any horizontal scrolling on the <html/> element.

Enjoying a Twitter thread with people poking fun at GitHub's Copilot for "writing" a buggy shallowEquals function.

Turns out that Copilot's function is perfectly fine, but none of the soft-fleshed humans notice. Too busy piling on.

Best advert for AI code-generators ever.
