From my understanding git reflog works on refs and jj op log works on fhe repo as a whole.

E.g. if I rebase some stacked branches then I want to undo it, with git I would reset each branch separately.

With jj you can timetravel the state of the repo in ine command

rerere can help, but OP probably has their own workflow

Why couldnt you flatten it?

swap with last element then truncate at the end

Well, it can make some chained function composition easier.

  Ick1 result1 = potentiallyNull1();
  Ick2 result2 = (result1 == null) ? null : potentiallyNull2(result1);
  Ick3 result3 = (result2 == null) ? null : potentiallyNull3(result2);

  Ick3 result3 = potentiallyNone1()
    .flatMap(potentiallyNone2)
    .flatMap(potentiallyNone3);

maybe it’s better now, but at last time I checked (~2 years ago) humans are still better in jargon heavy contexts - legal as you mentioned, tech/medical/etc. also accents, muffled audio, noise in general, humans are (were?) much better at accounting for that

My interpretation is that as engineers, we attempt to justify all of our choices through purely rational means. However, as humans, we cannot really make said choices without also being at least somewhat influenced by our subjective affections.

Perhaps I'm stretching the author's message, but at least I believe that the argument extends to all engineering conclusions. The author's call is that we acknowledge this subjective side.

Essentially, true engineering is about tradeoffs, there is no X that is objectively better than Y in all circumstances and contexts.

Well, recursion is well-structured and can be reasoned about through induction. Goto is unstructured…

I don’t think I follow, do you mind giving a concrete example?

Well the main point is that there are changes that for most languages would need a change in the compiler/interpreter itself. However in lisp those kinds of things can be done in userspace

I believe int[6] can still be passed to static 5 but I would have to double check

Looks fine to me

I like to wrap it in a venv (pure python project) or nix flake (mixed languages)

Left leaning red black trees enforce extra constraints, which remove symmetries. This actually adds an edge case when instead you can just treat left/right rotations and comparisons as symmetric operations.

I use Sidebery for tab groups, but it would be nice to have it built in

At least in safari, you can hit the AA button and increase the font size there.

Aren’t fruits only plants which contain seeds? Like a celery would not be a fruit

You can approximate it by maintaining some kind of vtable, but it can get messy, especially if you need to implement multiple traits/interfaces.

These virtues are promoted by Christianity as well

Without it, it would pass the current location, that is the location inside that test function, rather than the original parent call.

Maybe have your public fields defined as a second struct, and then you can cast the pointer to your struct to the concrete struct that has all the public fields. This has the restriction that all public fields must be at the start, and you must make sure to maintain the same order between the two structs.

At this point though, I think I honestly would prefer setters/getters.

    struct MyClassPublic {
        int x;
        int y;
        ...
    }

    /* using it */
    MyClass *myclass = myclass_create();
    ((MyClassPublic *)myclass)->x = 5;

Austral has been looking good to me as a potential "rust-lite". It's still in the very early stages though.

For me, tap hold is kind of iffy. If I set the hold delay short enough that it doesn’t feel sluggish, it becomes too easy to misfire it while trying to type. That’s just my experience though, I’ve come to prefer dedicated keys for each in a thumb cluster

According to Krashen, effort is not needed for comprehensible input to be effective. Rather, it is more likely that you are simply not consuming enough comprehensible input
