This is just too good... If you ever have children please remember this thread. Only then will you finally understand how ridiculous you look right now.

Really awesome idea! I'd love some kind of aggregated stats/summary page where you could see the most-disagreed-with decisions, etc.

Every time I see a big thread I smile knowing dang is going to have to write some comment about how they're working on things

I worked on the Linux Kernel team at Qualcomm for about five years, left in 2016. Our director was very much in favor of upstreaming but the product release schedules were so aggressive everyone was scrambling just to hit customer deadlines. It was incredibly difficult to get upper management on board with spending an additional 20% time getting drivers upstreamed, despite our team making the case for it ad nauseam.

Hopefully they recognize the value of "upstream first" more now. I think it is getting better...

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this! I used to use it in my M3 all the time a few years ago. Doesn't make sense because the sign detection etc has improved...

And if you use my (8 year old) PR you can "take" remote URLs, downloading and extracting tarballs and cloning git repos:

Example:

    take https://github.com/torvalds/linux.git
    # you're now in the cloned directory

I wanted to use a mechanical keyboard for years but working from home with other people in the house or working in an open office environment made it difficult due to noise.

That was until I recently discovered the Gazzew Boba U4 tactile switches. These things feel amazing and are quieter than my crappy old non-mechanical keyboards!

This keyboard has been life changing. Total cost somewhere south of $200. I highly recommend looking into building one if you spend more than an hour per day on a keyboard.

Here's a video comparing the u4s to Cherry MX Browns: https://www.reddit.com/r/keyboards/comments/lmdy4s/mechanica...

Well here ya go:

Jim Cramer openly bragging about how easy it was to manipulate the market when he was a hedge fund manager.

Not currently illegal but I'd bet good money that it will be after this fiasco

"social skills" LMAO. This is highly annoying and absolutely not good chat etiquette. Just ask your damn question!

This (highly annoying) practice was pervasive at Qualcomm as well, and we had a go/hi with essentially the same content.

I'm confused... How does aging speed up the evolutionary process?

Everyone keeps saying this is "a lot" of wasted resources... AFAICT it's just one guy right now, and even if it were a small team that still sounds like a bargain. I would expect it to take at least a small team within Apple to get Linux running on their new hardware.

I worked on SoC chip bring-up at Qualcomm for a few years and it's literally hundreds of engineers working for weeks to get Linux running, and that's with not only technical documentation but direct access to the hardware engineers who designed the stuff. That was 5 years ago but I assume not much has changed.

If this one guy (or a small group) ports Linux to the new MacBooks on a "Patreon salary" I'd say we got a smoking good deal. I'm rooting for them and happily donating.

Love it. I see you're not running ads. What's your plan for monetization?

> Apart from "support"

These days there are great 3rd party postgres support firms. We've used 2ndQuadrant for years and couldn't be happier.

This looks awesome... Have you had issues with it breaking across magit updates?

As others have mentioned, `C-h t` should be enough to get you comfortable using it as your daily driver. From there the sky is the limit!

Or if you have ipython installed:

    import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()

which gets you a slightly fancier pdb.

Yeah, where this gets really interesting is in the integration with the project's build system, CI, and test environments.

I'm envisioning a project with a full automated build and test suite with an on-demand staging environment for each change (the k8s docs project does this, at least it did the last time I chucked a typo PR over the wall).

With proper integration to the editor you could have an extremely slick dev environment instantly available for any casual passerby. Once implemented, this would greatly simplify maintainers' lives as well!

Right, and IMHO by the time they're old enough to start circumventing the filters then they're old enough to see the content. It's a self-enforcing gate. You're not mature enough to see the content until you're mature enough to circumvent the filters :D

If you're running Linus' master branch, yes, things are going to break from time to time.

Stick to LTS releases (which is what most distros use) and you'll be fine.

TFA on Slashdot... Takes me back to the good old days of 2007...

You should try something other than Ubuntu. Fedora or Arch are my standard recommendations these days.

> git amend HASH

That's 9 characters plus the effort of finding and copy/pasting the hash. With magit it's two characters and you just focus on the hash in question.

> `git amend -i` to pick a commit to edit in a searchable list with preview of their content

That's cool! Still a lot more typing than with Magit, which also has a searchable list with content previews ;)

I'm happy that you've found ways to optimize your workflow, but seriously, Magit is still faster.

It's actually `git commit --amend --no-edit`, but yes, it's basically "just" a shortcut. Count the keystrokes, though. If you spend much time working with git it's a huge win.

Of course you could do something similar with shell aliases or reverse search, but then there are other switches and flags that you need occasionally, etc. And it's sooo much more convenient to have everything in one place right in your editor. It's almost unfair how much faster I can get stuff done than folks who don't use it ;)

Magit isn't hype, it's as good as everyone says it is. You just have to try it.

It's definitely slower for me (Linux, recent Intel with 20 cores, 32 GB RAM).

I still use it on principle. But let's not get complacent with regards to performance. That's why Chrome won in the first place.
