Just found out about git worktree, but I don't get it. Why is git worktree add ../copy better than git clone . ../copy?

My cohost is a speaker so I'm at these #sxsw events for free, but most of the people paid circa 2k to be here.

My big lesson so far: if you're a rich person, people give you lots of free stuff.

In this toot: https://social.jvns.ca/@b0rk/111942111146911364
@b0rk makes the excellent point that git uses all-caps "HEAD" to mean the revision you currently have checked out, and lower-case "head" to mean the last commit on a branch.

It's suddenly so obvious how much confusion I've had that stemmed from these two entirely different uses of the same word.

WaPo Sunday: "Biden’s aides urge him to be more publicly critical of [Netanyahu] over Israel’s military operation in Gaza, according to six people familiar with the conversations..."

me, November: "Democrats should loudly reject Netanyahu..."

Come on! This has been obvious.

Poll: how many logins do you have in your password manager? I have 184 and I'm trying to think through how life got to be like this.

Do I know anyone who’s used Kryptonite’s anti-theft protection (https://shop.kryptonitelock.com/atpo_landing_pages/register-for-anti-theft-en.html) — actually filed a claim and gotten paid, that is?

It seems like a good value — essentially pretty cheap bike theft insurance with that comes with a free lock. But is it too good to be true?

What I'd hoped for: "OK, now that it's been sweltering all month I see the problem. I'm going to stop driving, stop eating meat, and although a man, start wearing light skirts."

What everybody around me is saying: "I'm going to drive my private car more because it's too hot to use any other transportation. Then, although our local electric co burns coal, I'll go home and run the air conditioner until I need to wear a parka."

"When I told friends I was heading to Los Angeles to see the city by subway, one joked that it would be “a very short story.” An Angeleno who admitted she had never taken the train advised I pack pepper spray.

"But three days of riding the rails proved them mostly wrong. Not only is the subway well connected to popular sites — from Santa Monica beaches to downtown museums — its trains run frequently."
