  There’s nothing wrong with tipping. It’s the required tipping that’s the problem. What’s fair is a fair salary. Waiters are paid like $2 an hour because the restaurant owners are allowed to take tips into consideration, which is what I’m arguing against.

  Making a browser from scratch would be very difficult. SerenityOS has one, but idk how usable it is.

  Besides Firefox, I guess the least evil options would be something webkit-based. There are a few of those.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tipping culture npcs⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or even to use this same example, why not blame the restaurant owner? They can choose to pay their waiters well and tell customers there’s no need for tipping.

  So basically the boomer queue ensures that cashiers have a job, and it ensures that I don’t have to be treated like a criminal because the cashiers are bagging the groceries and I won’t be subjected to “random controls”. I’m not seeing the negative.

  Lightbulbs are pretty easy to make if you:

  • Can find a jeweler or blacksmith like you said
  • Can generate a ton of electricity somehow
  • Are okay with the lightbulb lasting no more than 1 second

  Even if you studied it, the answer boils down to “magic”.

  You take these magnets, and move them around these long snakes of metal (because electrons can move easily through metal) and that makes the electrons in the wires move.

  Okay, why does moving around a magnet near metal make something inside it move?

  Well there’s something we call the “Lorentz force” which basically pushes a magnetic thing in a specific way if you move another magnetic thing around it

  But why does that happen?

  Magic

  I agree, typescript is way overrated

  This is going to be a boring answer but I use neovim. I do use it as my ide as well but it’s so fast and lightweight that when I need to edit a random config file or something, I just start another instance of it.

  Your argument basically boils down to “never use amazon or any other shitty tech company for that matter”, which I guess I agree with.

  Serious question, why would you consider Bluesky? I would argue that mastodon is “the” decentralized social media platform, I mean it’s not owned by some billionaire; and if you mostly care about audience size, nothing beats twitter. I’ve never felt any inclination to try bluesky for these reasons.

  It’s frustrating since by using your tethered connection you’re using the same data that you already pay for. If there’s a limit on how much data, why does it matter how you pay for it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨History repeats itself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  “Reapply” is rewriting it on the other branch. The branch you are rebasing to now has a one or multiple commits that do not represent real history. Only the very last commit on the branch is actually what the user rebasing has on their computer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨History repeats itself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Always merge when you’re not sure. Rebasing rewrites your commit history, and merging with the squash flag discards history. In either case, you will not have a real log of what happened during development.

  Why do you want that? Because it allows you to go back in time and search. For example, you could be looking for the exact commit that created a specific issue using git bisect. Rebasing all the commits in a feature branch makes it impossible to be sure they will even work, since they represent snapshots that never existed.

  I’ll never understand why people suggest you should default to rebasing. When prompted about why, it’s usually some story about how it went wrong and it was just easier to do it the wrong way.

  I’m not saying never squash or rebase. It depends on the situation but if you had to pick a default, it should be to simply merge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨History repeats itself⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That is absolutely not what rebasing does. Rebasing rewrites the commit history, cherry picking commits then doing a normal merge does not rewrite any history.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it so hard finding up-to-date docs and guides?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who uses Django every day, I can tell you that the code is almost secondary to the amazing documentation. The documentation is such a core part of a framework that I don’t see how it can be usable without really good and up to date documentation.

  The fact that spring boot’s documentation is so bad that it’s impossible to even find a reference for a class you’re using is, I’m sorry to say, garbage.
