I heard they had a buyer and sold early.

A non-existent problem that nobody asked to solve...

They say that "history between commits" matters.

If it's really so for some people, a case could be made that their problems can already be half-solved by changing the granularity of their commits: just commit more often.

What about the other half?

I disagree. JetBrains PyCharm has a similar "local history" feature that solves this very real and existing problem and has saved my ass more than once when accidentally overwriting changes before committing or fubar'ing a git reset.

I think that:

1. Commits are really just manual checkpoints while you’re working. Why not automatically checkpoint everything so you can actually go back to an older implementation without needing to remember to commit it?

2. Agentic workflows are so deeply single player. It’s very annoying, I want to collaborate with my team with agents, not review the output of one dev’s agent which they’ll just shove back into their existing agent.

VCs count as people unfortunately.

What does the "active" page sort by?

According to https://news.ycombinator.com/lists it's "Most active current discussions"

I find that it better surfaces the best discussion when there are multiple threads (like in this example), and it keeps showing slightly older threads for longer when there's still discussion happening.

I'm exactly like this.

I have a OneWheel that I use to get around, and a JBL speaker. I legit listen to music in Publix isles, dancing, vibing, all day, every day.

I'm known around my neighborhood as "the speaker guy".

If I don't have music playing, I'm usually finger drumming/tapping/bobbing my head anyway.

> JBL speaker

On behalf of everyone else in the world, please invest in headphones.

Broadcasting in this way is boorish and the kind of thing emotionally stunted people do to inflict their will upon others. I'm not saying you're necessarily like that, but you're 'wearing their uniform' so to speak.

Being known as "the speaker guy" isn't a compliment.

Also, do a kickflip.

Please stop forcing your music on everyone around you. Get headphones.

Are they any free email services that allow you to use your own domain?

Zoho is a somewhat well-known provider that has a "forever free" plan for up to five users.

The only caveat is no IMAP in the free version, you have to use their apps / web interface.

iCloud Mail (if you have paid iCloud...) is free to add custom domains.

Can LLMs help here?

There are attempts to do that, such as https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.11904 or https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.00084. I couldn't find any open source implementation though. I'm personally not so keen to use LLMs for merging: I want it to be quick and predictable.

If a projects build system can't depend on python, that let's leave them in the dust, ffs..

What if the project is python or a dependency of python?

Package managers that use git are less prone to this kinda of attack (goland, rust).

Cargo does not “use git.”

Cargo absolutely uses git, or else we wouldn't've had that thing where setting it to use the cli git instead of some reimplementation lead to massive speedups

What I mean is that it doesn’t use git as the source of truth for packages (unless you point at a git repo instead of crates.io). It does use a git repo for the index.

What they meant was probably, that you have the option to rely entirely on using git repositories for your dependencies or even just paths to other projects on your disk.

You can also setup your own dependency registry and only work with that.

That is possible but it’s not the default and isn’t as nice as the default is.

It's as real as any other fake story.

If a story is bombastic, it's safer to assume it's fake. Reddit incentivizes OPs to get engagement.
