today I'm thinking about the tradeoffs of using git rebase a bit. I think the goal of rebase is to have a nice linear commit history, which is something I like.

but what are the costs of using rebase? what problems has it caused for you in practice? I'm really only interested in specific bad experiences you've had here -- not opinions or general statements like “rewriting history is bad”

@b0rk
When rebase caused conflicts with the target branch, I naturally solved that conflict. But when I then had to rebase onto that same branch again (develop moves rapidly and this feature branch was taking a few days to complete), I had to solve the same conflict again. And again the next day…

I use https://github.com/scmbreeze/scm_breeze to get a pretty status and short numbered aliases for changed files, branches, etc. It also has short aliases for commands (like ga for git add), which may be too much for some users.

Today we got what must be the most alarming first line in a newly file sec issue to :

"To replicate the issue, I have searched in the Bard about this vulnerability"

... followed by a complete AI hallucination where Bard has dreamed up a new issue by combining snippets from several past flaws. Creative, but hardly productive.

Closed as bogus.

A thing I feel writing Python is that visually decoding exceptions (the primary form code errors come in) is too much cognitive work, and there are things the interpreter could do to help.

Consider this (long, verbose!) extension trace. Only the pink circled part is important. The interpreter can't know that; that's AI-complete. But the interpreter could know which lines are "my code" and which are "library code", and color-code the background. Then I could just scan for the final "Me" line.

@mcc
I use sentry.io to capture exceptions in my projects. It has a configuration setting to indicate which module names are part of my own code, and its stacktrace viewer collapses other stack frames (vendor code, etc.) by default. It would definitely be nice to have something like that on the interpreter level.
(Edit: the interpreter could add a flag to each stack frame to show whether it’s app code or not, and whatever code presents the exception should worry about colours, collapsing, etc.)

hanse_mina, to Bulgaria

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor #Orban and Slovakian Prime Minister Robert #Fico spoke out against the European Union’s proposed €50 billion ($52 bl) aid package for Ukraine at an #EU leader summit on 26 Oct.

“Orban is opposing aid for #Ukraine, arguing that ‘EU support is not working,'” the unnamed diplomat said. Fico does not support allocating the funds due to “concerns about corruption” in Ukraine.

    hanse_mina, to Ukraine

    Prime Minister Viktor #Orban compared Hungary’s membership in the European Union to more than four decades of Soviet occupation of his country during a speech on Monday commemorating the anniversary of Hungary’s 1956 anti-Soviet revolution.

    “Today, things pop up that remind us of the Soviet times. Yes, it happens that history repeats itself,” Orbán said at the event, from which all media were excluded except Hungary’s state broadcaster.

    Yeah, and I’m glad it does, but monitors with mixed sizes and DPIs, and random applications still create nuisances sometimes. I just had a run-in with ksnip, where it took a screengrab of my middle (primary) monitor, placed it on my left (smaller) monitor, and asked me to select the area of this image I wanted to screenshot. No way to move it back to the primary monitor and see the entire screengrab, instead, I had to discard it, screengrab the full multi-monitor view and crop it.

    Yup, classifying NAFO shitposts as fake news is a stretch. But I guess their more serious counter-propaganda posts could themselves be classified as propaganda, in a way.

    The author of that list is a bizarre individual and I have them blocked from earlier, but I am on several similar mute lists, presumably because I follow some cartoon dogs and they follow me back. Some people really need a hobby.

    Weirdest software interaction of the day:

    I bought The Longest Journey from GoG years ago and I have it installed on my PC.

    I bought the classic Command & Conquer games from EA a few years ago and just installed some of them, including Tiberian Sun, on the same PC.

    When I try to launch Tiberian Sun, EA’s app asks me for admin permissions, and when I grant them, it launches TLJ instead.

    Both executables are named game.exe, but they are in different folders. Neither folder is in %PATH%.

    What.

    Er, I have not tried them on Linux, but the pre-Generals C&C games had obnoxious CD checks in their original CD releases, it was not easy to play even on Windows when using ISOs. You probably need some no-cd thing (or the anniversary DVD edition from EA, which removes the CD checks) to get them to work on Linux at all.
