A lot of people own Samsung foldable phones? They’re especially popular in China and South Korea

They went in pretty extensive detail for the internal parts of the folding screen?

My favorite is the Chad Wittgenstein usage. — Where you add an em-dash after periods to slow down the reader. —— Sometimes a double em-dash to keep your reader on their toes.

This doesn’t really make sense. Apps were pretty popular immediately after decades of web usage. There are many reasons to prefer an app. Even on desktop; if I’m using a service enough throughout the day, I want a native app, not a website.

We were once 1337 hackers too

The Economist is a British journal, so why would you use US definition of right wing to evaluate their centrality?

She’s been in her position for less than 6 months. All of the problems were under Phil, so I don’t understand what you mean by course correcting her own actions

I can’t think of a worse announcement for your road to 1.0. Who cares? Without localization or accessibility support, it doesn’t make sense to call your UI framework production ready with a 1.0 version. I think limiting what third-party contributors can bridge from browser APIs killed Elm’s momentum for anything but toy projects. It now seems more like a sandbox for Evan to play around with compiler ideas than something meant for production use.

Is it really different from that short time ago? It feels like this has been the normal for much longer than 5 years. I do remember there being fewer restarts to update, but I feel like that was way back in the snow leopard days.

As to why, I assumed it’s because security fixes are in basically every update these days. And it’s easier to change core systems with a restart than live

Does it? I’ve seen Ezra Klein talk about his book and he talked about how bureaucracy is frequently a scapegoat for getting things done. Europe is very bureaucratic yet is able to build. The issue he called out is red tape yes but more so litigation by the private citizen. That any individual can stop an apartment being built because it blocks morning light into their flower bed

Where do you see the word ‘Evil?’ I don’t see the word in the title or anywhere in the article itself.

This is what I understood as well, but it sounded like GP had success doing it; so I was curious if there was a trick I didn’t know about

Maybe there’s a git trick I don’t know, but I’ve found making small branches off each other painful. I run into trouble when I update an earlier branch and all the dependent branches get out of sync with it. When those earlier branches get rebased into master it becomes a pain to update my in-progress branches as well

As someone who used phabricator and mercurial, using GitHub and git again feels like going back to the stone ages. Hopefully this and jujutsu can recreate stacked-diff flow of phabricator.

It’s not just nice for monorepos. It makes both reviewing and working on long-running feature projects so much nicer. It encourages smaller PRs or diffs so that reviews are quick and easy to do in between builds (whereas long pull requests take a big chunk of time).
