Yeah the piece that "stacking" also really helps on is code-review. So When you have the "contextual" diff in the second PR you can get different stake-holders to review that one, while maybe not needing them on PR 1 for example.

It also allows you to stay unblocked the entire time you're waiting on these dependent PRs.

For "how they do it on github": the way we do it at Graphite (spoiler I work there), is that we make the unit of change a PR instead of a commit. ie. every PR has one small commit, and these get stacked on top of each other. The tool itself abstracts some of the complexity out of rebasing and managing all of these stacked PRs (which in the article are referred to as stacked diffs).

Does that make sense?

" open source AI ecosystem"

Would be incredible, but almost sounds too good to be true. OpenAI and equivalents already have so much money and momentum behind them.

Fully support the idea though!

"Was it dumb luck? We don't have evidence of insider trading. But[...]"

Every article covering politicians, left and right, nowadays is like this. Do we know this is true? Nope! Will that stop us from making wild accusations? Also no!!!

"The squabbling resulted in a multitude of design ideas, including pie charts, sliding graph charts, colors and even the image of the sun."

Can you imagine if that's what we ended up with hahaha

“The question “is math real?” is answered in the epilog of this book. Cheng tells us that math is real because it is an idea and ideas are real.”

"More importantly, we've seen how easily and flippantly an executive-led business decision can risk bankrupting the studios we've worked so hard to build, threaten our livelihoods as professionals, and challenge the longevity of our industry. The Unity of today isn't the same company that it was when the group was founded, and the trust we used to have in the company has been completely eroded."

Profoundly sad, and completely avoidable. Have never seen a company so quickly and completely just throw away all of their public good will.

I think they're referencing the character letter he wrote for Danny Masterson, pleading for a reduced sentence. Pretty hypocritical... to say the least.
