dumb git question: in a merge-based workflow, if you’re working on a branch, is there any reasonable way to integrate new changes from `main` back into your branch without using `git rebase`? I have this belief that there are people who only use merge commits and not rebase but I don’t […]

“‘Sceptic’ comes from the Greek skeptikos, meaning enquirer, and has a long and serious pedigree in philosophy. Yet, since the 1990s, the term has been hijacked by science-denial movements, giving us oxymorons like ‘climate sceptic’, ‘vaccine sceptic’, and ‘evolution sceptic’. These movements […]

Anyway I think it would be great if interfaces for clearly expressing one's ideas existed, and programs that could mechanically enact those ideas and clearly present results back existed, and people knew how to use the programs, and the programs worked. That would be a nice world to live in.
