@thedevme@elkrispis In theory, you can use git rebase and squash the “transient” commits so the timeline remains clean. I always found git rebase to be confusing, so I don’t do it often — but I wrestle with it when a clean timeline is important.
Continuing my series of book reports on “technology and social”, I’ve just published the latest entry. This one is on a book about the dangers of AI. https://t.co/DdUE4NsS4Y
@swardley I think Virginia Heffernan may have been closer to the mark. https://t.co/xRuy87F7ft The biggest danger is neither the malignant machines nor the malignant people. It is that the machines will be nicer than people — and we will all come to prefer the machines to people.
I published yet another book report on “the intersection of technology and social”. This one rockets forward in time to the 1970s with a book that reminds us that “the intersection of technology and social” hasn’t moved very far in the last fifty years: https://t.co/DVUvIJThUK
I’ve started a publication on Medium (inspired by #monktoberfest ) to review books about “the intersection of technology and social”. So far, the topics range from programmer productivity to literacy to the Carolingian renaissance. https://t.co/okAsiLgszB
The 22nd amendment sez: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice”. If we all concede that Trump won and was elected in 2020, then he is ineligible to run in 2024 (or ever again). #22A sez nothing about serving as president — only “be elected”.
@steve_alarm@doctorow The 800 came with 32K of RAM, and a game cartridge was 16K of ROM. If you aspired to make a game >16K, you could have up to 32K of ROM by adding a second cartridge. Eventually, most people bought an additional 16K of RAM, and the second slot remained unused.
