If they had written instead:

"Human brain was two separate organs"

Then, both attention grabbig and true?

Probably not, because by the time hominids were a thing, it was one.

(if I'm reading parent poster correctly)

At least you have good fabs!

> As a trivial counter example Git does not currently have a way to store conflicts inside commits[1], which is one of our major features.

Yes, I like how jj does it!

Did a big `git rebase -i` yesterday and I felt stressed up, almost a bit angry, when there were some conflicts and I wasn't sure if I'd resolve all of them before it was time to leave, and work more later from a different laptop.

But with jj, no stress: I can just check in the conflicts, and later, on the other laptop: check out the conflicts and continue resolving.

(I just wish there was Git submodule support :- ))

And you can deal with them in any order, bit by bit, or by adjusting things in earlier commits. I no longer fear rebase conflicts.

I mean that's what I do in Git as well, I just don't do it by storing conflicts, but by not triggering them/ignoring them.

Congrats (or what's the right word :- )) Martin and best wishes to you and ERSC,

Looking forward to using the VCS stuff you'll create :- )

I hope! And I abbreviate w w w.

Interesting! Was just in the process of reading about and comparing all the different identity-and-access-management-and-SSO solutions out there.

Yes wouldn't an 11 years old say "I don't know", or start thinking about square shaped trees?, hmm.

But this is the only AI that gives a good answer to:

> Help me teach my parents cat to fly!

> To teach a cat to fly, you will need a bird, a rope, and a harness. First, attach the harness to the cat and tie the rope to the bird. Then, throw the bird into the air and encourage the cat to jump after it. Once the cat has caught the bird, gently pull the rope to lift the cat off the ground. Be sure to keep the cat safe and secure during this process.

He got some support too, later: (from the Wikipedia article)

"though most villagers taunted me at first, there were quite a few who lent me support later by giving me food and helping me buy my tools"

No one wants to be the one that dances first, no one wants to be the person that dances last

Actually, no. "Manipulation" is a negatively loaded word, and you wouldn't use that word if f.ex. someone helpfully & truthfully helps others see they've misunderstood sth.

richardfey · 2026-08-06T17:38:06

I disagree. Whether something is manipulation depends on whether you are trying to change someone’s opinion or behavior, not on whether the manipulator has “good” or “bad” intentions, since those judgments are not objectively universal.

KajMagnus · 2026-08-08T16:31:30

You can look up the word in a dictionary, instead of arguing. Bye & have a nice day.

> If you don't update your social.org at least once a month, you will lose the domain and the nickname will be released

I usually don't post once a month. Nickname released, that's a security problem.

Looks as if: org-social.org is a single point of failure? Hmm

I wonder if there's ways to solve those problems. Maybe you'd end up w sth like AT Proto in the end

If you don't want limitations, host your social.org site yourself, or move it to GitHub Pages or similar services. org-social-host is a free hosting service I offer openly to help you get started, but it's not unlimited.
