There is no index anymore. I guess that is the "easier" part.

That is, but not directly.

The general idea here is that jj has fewer and more orthogonal concepts than git. This makes it more regular, which is what I mean by "easy."

So for example, there is no index as a separate concept. But if you like to stage changes, you can accomplish this through a workflow, rather than a separate feature. This makes various things less complex: the equivalent of git reset doesn't need --hard, --soft, --mixed, because the index isn't a separate concept: it's just a commit. This also makes it more powerful: you can use any command that works on commits on your index.

This is repeated across jj's design in general.


For my mental model how White House politics work, this article was very influential: https://www.thewrap.com/obama-aides-say-veep-accurate-west-w...

> “The funny thing about ‘Veep’ is, we as people who worked in the White House always get asked, okay, what’s the most real? Is it ‘House of Cards? Is it ‘West Wing’? And the answer is, it’s ‘Veep.’ Because you guys nail the fragility of the egos, and the, like, day-to-day idiocy of the decision-making,” Vietor said.

Same vibe as "conspiracy theorists are optimists because they believe there is a great plan."


All gossip I hear about the extremely powerful leads me to believe that they’d be utterly unable to organise any sort of conspiracy themselves.

Most haven’t touched Google Calendar in a decade. They can’t call anyone without their assistant typing in the number first.


This might have more to do with their average age than anything though

and the best thing is then the conspiracy theorists do not go after like the realy small set of things that actualy could be called a real conspiracy. Coughs in the trump files ft. epstein.

I don't get it. When would I use Zed Text and when Zed Display?

The definition of Display fonts is quite loose. Generally speaking, display fonts are made to grab attention by incorporating some more extravagant visual features (think something like Papyrus)

They are made for shorter texts that are often written in a bigger font. Again I talk about this in a very general way because it depends on the font and other factors. But usually this includes things like headings. So they would use slightly different proportions that wouldn't work that well at small sizes, but stand out more in bigger sizes compared to the "text" variant.

So in this case you would use Zed Text for all your larger text blocks and Zed Display for headings or maybe emphasized words. But to be honest, since they are pretty close visually, you can get away with using Zed Text for everything imho.


Display versions of typefaces are generally used for headings or larger type.

Text versions are used for longer text, and are usually optimised for smaller type sizes and readability.


And yet it probably covers 90% of what people use OpenClaw for.


I would have appreciated a sarcastic summary like http://n-gate.com/hackernews/


They've been dead for ages haven't they?


In many cases the system is perfectly safe when it shuts off. Two is enough for that.


The simplest one is a watchdog: If something stops with regular notifications, then restart stuff.


A watchdog guards against unresponsive software. It doesn't protect against bad data directly. Not all bad data makes a system freeze.


I recently (mostly vibe-) coded myself a Firefox addon which indexes every page I visit locally: https://codeberg.org/copacetic/where_did_i_read


I know that automotive parts of the standard requirement to withstand 80°C (or 120°C for military use). A robot vacuum working in a living room can probably be made cheaper because it does not have to face as harsh environments?

Also, range is probably a factor. In a living room, you probably need something like 20m max. You car should "see" farther.


Sure, these are the assumptions but silicon is silicon, copper is copper and solder is solder. They don't use easy melting electronics in vacuums and hardened stuff in cars, the tech is about the same unless it is supposed to work in highly radioactive environment. The plastics are different but car interiors are full of plastics, so its unlikely that the costs of temperature resistant plastics needed for this is more than a cupholder.

As for the range, again pretty powerful lasers are sold for sub 10SUD prices on retail. I am sure that there must be higher calibration and precision requirements as the distance increase but is it really order of magnitudes higher? 120 meters laser measurer with 1cm accuracy is 15 Euros on Temu and that thing has an LCD screen and a battery as a handheld device. How much distance do you actually need?


Not only that but vibrations play a big part as well, especially on ICE vehicles.


Vibrations are surely an issue with electromechanical systems but hardly with electronics. There are plenty of cheap electronic accessories for cars and you can observe that those keep functioning for years.


Please keep politics out of it.


ICE = internal combustion engine


Zed competes mostly against Visual Studio Code. Not against Jetbrains.


I do love jetbrains for its nice-to-have features (eg highlight a few lines in the middle of a spaghetti function -> right click -> extract to new function) and was paying for it out of my own pocket for several years; but had to switch to vscode for a couple of required features that jetbrains was missing (remote dev over ssh, and devcontainers); and now switched to zed for being "like vscode but faster"


Zed can "extract function" for Rust code. I guess, it depends on the language server you use? Since vscode and zed use the same there is not distinction between them.


Maybe, but I switched from IntelliJ to Zed. And eventually stopped paying for Jetbrains products.
