Thanks for the explanation, that does sound useful.

That’s fair, there’s plenty of uses for source control.
I was speaking from a programming context though, as this is a programming community.
I really never understood why one would need a GUI for git except for visualizing branches.
I feel like I’m crazy seeing so many people using clicky buttons for tracking files. I need like 4 commands for 95% of what I do and the rest you look up.
You’re already programming! Just learn the tool!
And now there’s a github CLI tool? I hate to beat a dead horse but Microsoft pushing their extended version of an open source tool/protocol is literally the second step of their mantra.
A typo in the first paragraph of the article in a wiki wont make the 5th paragraph tear down the entire wiki.
I should take another look into it. Thanks!
Web assembly isn’t quite the same as a js frontend though, is it?
It’s typically for complex single page apps and has some weirdness with normal usecases, no?
I could be wrong but I was looking into it a few months ago and it seemed immature.
a front-end language
I love rust but this requires killing the web app and using basic html. which i’m also pro.
The endless packaging solutions for python is exactly the flaw that they’re talking about.
Packaging a python application to work over an air-gap is extremely painful. Half the time its easier to make a docker container or VM just to avoid the endless version mismatch pain.
It comes from a disregard of Civility politics. So often Liberals will come to us with bad faith, poorly researched takes, and demand an argument.
Hexbear generally embodies a disrespect for the civility politics and bad faith concern trolls. As an instance we typically act as a single unified unit, which is rare for an online community.
It’s nothing personal, but a lot of the members are very well read in theory and history, and propagate that to other users with well sourced arguments. If someone comes in and demands that their propaganda based opinion is the only truth, some will try good faith reasoning. If that good faith attempt is lambasted as being a bot/troll/brigade after effort put in to educate, we’ll become hostile.
An internet argument is rarely for the participants, but for the people lurking through. Often times, this method is effective at getting people to question the generally accepted narrative.
I hope you have a good day and please consider logging off for a bit. It’s really nothing personal.
As a committed hexbear poster, I want to share something sorta quick that might give insight into the chapo rules for posting.
The culture generally arose from having a home-team advantage on the old sub. Where typically across reddit, Liberals and Conservatives would argue in bad faith with leftists, return to propaganda as proof, and generally ignore history and call it “whataboutism”.
The culture that came from the home-team advantage was a mix of well cited arguments and a ruthless trolling component. It’s a relentless form of arguing, where many people can get together and reverse the general consensus.
So when some far right person came in and thought they were being witty with some canned racist/sexist/homophobic remark, we would simply bully them, Tell them to post hog, etc. Same thing with Liberals depending on the comment. Good faith comments are typically met with a thoughtful response. Nowhere else on reddit could you have the level of backup to drown out the fascist elements on that site.
This culture is a shock to a lot of people but I assure you we’re very nice people and I think some of us are just a little too excited to dunk again.
I hope this helps a bit. We’re all extremely anti-fascist. We do have critical support for previous socialist endeavors, because the horrors of capitalism and it’s bedfellow, fascism, have still more than outdone the harm socialist projects caused.
it’s not a great comparison I’ll admit, but it’s essentially the same as digital privacy, only one of these is protected in courts and the other is encouraged.
I haven’t sat down to really build a stance on this but it does not sit well.
If the results were also open and public, it’d be a different conversation.
This is more akin to rain water collection up-hill and selling it back to the people downhill. It’s privatization of a public resource.
Yeah I actually just prefer the command line, I’ve never had to force myself to use it. I even tried using VSC for a bit recently but i couldn’t get myself to like it. I just use nvim with some plugins in a tmux session now and its productive as hell.
Of course I don’t browse the web with the command line. For merging branches, I always merge main into the working branch first, check conflict files, and go through the file finding the diffs and resolving them. I’ve used merge tools before that were sorta nice but I had my own issues with them.
Maybe it’s the type of programming I do. I don’t do any web stuff, so file count is down. For larger code bases I keep a non editor terminal up and will
grep -re
for word/phrase searching,find
to look for specific files, etc. I’ll occasionally use an IDE, typically eclipse based because embedded, but I don’t find myself missing the features they add.
