This book is fantastic. Highly recommended if you have any interest in how the stored program computer came to be. The Dyson name apparently led to unrivaled access to first-hand accounts.

Alternately, hold the power button and either volume button together for a few seconds.

I like this approach. Something related I've been tinkering with are "protected bookmarks" - you declare what bookmarks (main, etc) are protected in your config.toml and the normal `jj bookmark` commands that change the bookmark pointer will fail, unless you pass a flag. So in your local "CI" script you can do `jj bookmark set main -r@ --allow-protected` iff the tests/lints pass. Pairs well with workspaces and something that runs a local CI (like a watcher/other automated process).

I haven't yet submitted it to upstream for design discussion, but I pushed up my branch[1]. You can also declare a revset that the target revision must match, for extra belts and suspenders (eg., '~conflicts()')

I'm glad you shared this because, in my head this Dr. Nick quote is so canonical it must be from the original golden 8 seasons, so it's nice to be reminded there are occasionally good things after! ;^)

As an OCaml-curious, is this the community recommendation, to choose the Jane Street stdlib if you’re just getting started?

You can wrap the navigation event in document.startViewTransition() and get something basic out of the box:

> Unfortunately, they removed Plan mode

If I hit shift-Tab twice I can still get to plan mode

In that case, each county that corresponds to that ZIP Code is shown and the user can disambiguate manually.

For example, health care plans in the US are county-specific with regard to premiums, co-pays, etc. (based on demographics). Allowing someone to type in their ZIP Code to get started can be a better user experience than having them pick their county.

One thing I just recalled is that if you maintain a small exceptions lookup table (i.e. the ones that span state boundaries), you can use ZIP Codes as a way to uniquely look up a county name.
