I wonder if the slowdown in non-ai features this release was influenced in some way by their migration away from AMD modules to ES modules.

Putting myself in their shoes and taking codemods into account, I wouldn’t want to make a big feature and have to worry about AMD/ES module concerns. Why do that when instead I could get a bunch of checking and smaller (but non headline) tasks out of the way and get back onto the larger features in 1-2 months after the ES modules are proven to work and I don’t have to worry about rolling back changes.

Either that, or sometimes by statistical eventuality we end up with changes (which all take a different time to be completed) just not being released within a small period of time.

Tailwind leads to just as much class soup as bootstrap, so avoid it all together.

Your website shouldn’t need classes everywhere to work. Use something that sets proper defaults then only use classes where they’re needed. Like picocss or purecss.

See I think that’s not what the “anti-woke” people think it means.

That’s exactly what I pointed out. The people who provide them their information are actively trying to poison the word to the point that it means something else. But it doesn’t, because the poisoning only works in the echo chambers that spread that information.

Turning to urban dictionary, they’re using this definition: […]

That would be one of the attempts to poison the word. It’s worth pointing out that anyone can add a definition to urban dictionary and it’s quite often that trolls try to overwhelm existing definitions on there.

[…] (according to that definition).

That comes back to what I said before. People who self report as anti-woke are against anything that uses the label “woke”, until they look at what’s under the label and they realise they aren’t against any of the points the “woke” labelled thing is doing.

They’re not actually anti-woke, they’re anti-incorrect-label.

There’s no official announcement per se, but the windows version is built with .net which has been getting better linux support over the last two years.

There are unofficial instructions to run it through wine on their issue tracker.

It’s basically just a better sourcetree.

If you’re already used to sourcetree, it’s a really smooth transition.

The main reason to switch away from sourcetree is the bugs and papercuts.

• Bugs: Sure, bugs happen with everything but you’re stuck with them when they happen with sourcetree. There was an issue not too long ago where sourcetree couldn’t scroll. It was classed as a low priority bug and took about a year for it to be fixed. Imagine needing to use your keyboard to scroll up and down, but then git would refresh and take you back to the top where you’d need to start again. Now imagine trying to do that for a whole year. And that was just one bug.

• Papercuts: It’s so good at some things that you want to forgive the flaws in other things and find workarounds to bugs, but after a while they build up into poisoning you’re experience. For example: things going slow in larger repos, getting git errors when staging certain lines because a different line in the middle had to be staged/removed in a different order, the bi-yearly account issues, etc…

The thing is, you don’t need to put up with it since fork already does everything that sourcetree does (and a bit more), and they actually spend time sanding off the papercuts so you don’t need to worry about finding workarounds when something goes wrong.

Just losing the bugs without losing any features is already reason enough to switch.

But there’s also the improvements over sourcetree as well:

• Collapsible and sortable git graph (by date or topology)
• Better staging – Sourcetree supports staging changed content by file, hunk, and sometimes by line when it doesn’t bug out. – Fork supports staging changed content AND original content by file, hunk, and by line. That way if you changed a line, you can keep both the old version and new version in a commit. (e.g. You altered a comment in your code, but then upon self review when staging changes you realised you don’t want to change the comment, but instead you want the new comment to exist under the old comment. Instead of copying the change, undoing the change, then pasting the change into the code, you can simply stage the addition of the line, but discard the removal of the old line. Now both lines exist in your code)
• Better rebasing
• Supports new git features (e.g. worktrees, new diff algos, etc)
• Just how snappy the program is compared to sourcetree, it keeps you in that flow state

Because being woke is generally considered to be a bad thing?

No. Being woke is only considered bad in toxic echo chambers where they’ve tried to poison the word.

Most people who self report as “anti-woke” repeat infectious and carefully crafted but fallacious talking points whenever the term “woke” is said.

But if you bring up a situation where a minority is getting the bad end of the stick and they agree with you that it’s bad, they don’t realise that they themselves are being woke. They agree with being woke so long as the label “woke” isn’t used. It’s when you point that out that they start to realise that they’ve been poisoned against the term.

Being woke simply means that some people don’t often get the same affordances as others.

If you accept the general fact that women tend to get paid less for the same amount of work, then you’re woke.

If you accept the general fact that black people might not get hired if a person doing the hiring is racist, then you’re woke.

If you accept the general fact that some people have to hide the fact that they’re not heterosexual in some countries otherwise they’ll suffer the death penalty, then you’re woke.

English doesn’t really have a well defined way to write down the “zjush” from the “su” in pleasure.

The most accepted ways are “zh” or “x” in English, or ʒ in IPA.

Since most people call it twitter, and Elon want to call it x, so people push them together to make xitter, because it sounds like “shitter” (the crude term for toilet) and because the quality of twitter has declined dramatically to the point that it resembles an unclean toilet.

Looks quite good if you want to use git exclusively in vscode.

IMO, fork is the best git client for macOS/Windows but lacks native linux support (although they are experimenting with it).

Until fork gains linux support, this seems like a nice alternative if running on linux (and if it supports the remote development APIs: running on a linux docker image)

QOI is just a format that’s easy for a programmer to get their head around.

It’s not designed for everyday use and hardware optimization like jpeg-xl is.

You’re most likely to see QOI in homebrewed game engines.

That’s 41 degrees for everyone who doesn’t measure things in bird per gun.

No one’s asking nor wondering why you find looking at things in the sky beautiful.

They’re asking why you’re ascribing meaning to an arbitrary number of days. Months aren’t subjective, they’re arbitrary.

What to know about blue supermoons:

1. They literally mean nothing.
2. The change is imperceptible to everyone.
3. Expect useless clickbait slop about it until it passes.
