So that’s making git push always push to the current branch?

Eyyy, don’t hate, this is how I start all my work programs. That command is really nice and creates all work programs as children of a single terminal session for easy closing later.

Love these, I used a terminal select from history with fuzzy finding to do the !5 as redo

g-push which is alias for

git push origin `git branch --show`

I think the point he’s making is that anarchism is one big power vacuum and those are usually filled with warlords and power brokers. Anarchism can still exist within a state such as Christiania in Denmark and from what I’ve heard it works pretty well.

I read half of it. It seems to overidealize the pre-law era to a large degree. Before law we had mass slavery, constant raiding of nearby tribes and nothing to prevent anybody from taking everything from a person. There is definitely a case where laws can become draconian and force people to break them but I’d argue that in most countries law prevent more unwanted behavior than cause it.

This especially doesn’t apply in modern times since you just need one person to create a private mercenary group to essentially create a mini kingdom within a loosely organised society. That person will very quickly be able to form a successful dictatorship by raiding, enslaving and demanding tribute from nearby settlements.

Even a laissez faire government with everything legal except violence will essentially make it legal to dump toxic waste on your front lawn everywhere without policing and laws. Toxic waste is currently being dumped with laws just under woefully loose law and I’d argue that we need more laws and regulation to prevent people from doing so.

I feel like anarchist theory quickly forgets that we had anarchy before law and people quickly formed kingdoms around settlements to defend themselves and aggressive kingdoms where more successful than passive ones.

AI programming. I feel like it will get to the point where AI will start writing code that works but nobody can understand or maintain including AI.

If you are able to explain the requirements to an AI so fully that the AI can do it correctly it would have taken shorter time to program by yourself.

AI powered code completion is another story though and I’m looking forward to it.

You’ll get a boatload of spoiler effect elections until people start voting tactically again. Third parties need to start locally and not participate in the presidential elections for a long time.

There is a path to voter reform by creating hung parliament and require voter reform in a coalition agreement. Once dominant running for governor or a senator becomes possible.

Yeah, fascist government are known for doing some voting reforms after all

String/rope. With a couple of knots, loops and tension you can make a lot of things with it.

People may hate on SOAP but I’ve never had issues with setting up a SOAP client

I don’t mind xml as long as I don’t have to read or write it. The only real thing I hate about xml is that an array of one object can mistaken for a property of the parent instead of a list

Probably an OS

This is what happens over time with people remembering history that they start to attribute a lot to a single person. More recent example of this is George Washington which is given more credit that he deserves for creating the US.

• ax^2 + bx + c = 0
• ax^2 + bx = -c move the c over
• x^2 + (b/a)x = -c/a divide by a
• x^2 + (b/a)x +(b/2a)^2 = -c/a + (b/2a)^2 complete the square
• (x + b/2a)^2 = -c/a + (b/2a)^2 factor the left hand side
• x + b/2a = sqrt(-c/a + (b/2a)^2) now we just tidy it up
• x = -b/2a + sqrt(-c/a + b^2/4a2)
• x = -b/2a + (2a/2a) sqrt(-c/a + b^2/4a2)
• x = (-b + (2a)sqrt(-c/a + b^2/4a2))/2a
• x = (-b + sqrt(-4ac + b^2))/2a move 2a into the square root and multiply it with what’s inside

The derivation of the quadratic formula is nice because it doesn’t rely on anything fancy and it’s all tricks the teacher is likely to teach around the same time you’re learning it. It’s not voodoo shit, it’s just the ax^2 + bx + c = 0 and you solve for x.

If you already know that much algebra you can use ax2 + bx + c = 0 and solve for x to get the formula if you forget it.

Alien civilisation: Wait, you’re telling me everyone here has a parasite that’s within their own cells that is so well established that you can’t live without it?

Human: Yeah, pretty much everything alive has it. Nbd.

I agree,and I’m from Iceland. People who come complain about the weather though.
