Yeah, but before I am proficient in the more elaborate stuff, there is no reason to use emacs, so I never do it. And there is no tutorial for this.

   git -c sequence.editor="sed -i '1ip oldercommit'" rebase -i @~

Git using standard UNIX tools for these things instead of a specialized syntax, means I can easily write more complicated automations.

Thanks, that's even better than accessing old.reddit.com!

How can I get this wonderful thing?

Can you explain this to me? I feel like Git is pretty easy there.

    - select oldest commit to modify
    - move the commits around with a mouse or the cursor
    - close the editor to apply

Sure, the first step can go away (which is what they do with git history), but the rest seems pretty optimal to me.

Alternatively I can add changes to older commits by recording them on top (--fixup) and tell git to auto apply them (--autosquash). I can also tell git to do the first thing automatically (git absorb, I believe it's inspired by jj).

I mean that's what I do in Git as well, I just don't do it by storing conflicts, but by not triggering them/ignoring them.

I always wanted to learn emacs, but I never do, because while I don't know it using it doesn't pay off. I did the tutorial at some point (I mean great that it exists) and now I can move around and close the editor, but that's the same I can do in nano, so I keep using nano.

All people do, only few resort to fraud. If you start with that argument, you can rationalize any crime.

Which is not a workaround, but giving in. And it gets increasingly difficult to create an account without giving them personal data.

To what value do I need to set the cookie?

Right is a moral category, not a legal one.

If you don't agree on the laws in your country, you need to figure that out civilized instead of hurting third-parties.

But if you applied already, it's currently unknown whether you have a valid visa or not.

It's has been renamed to 'Trump' now.

Yeah, that's what always happens. By "tightening" the law, you only hurt the law-abiding citizens.

How is damage to a property not physical?

No, the branch who decides whether a specific execution follows the law is called the judiciary.

I think they would need to send your stuff out at least. Otherwise it would be robbery.

If you just have every app in the switcher, it becomes useless too.

On my Nokia (featurephone) you don't need to install apps, you just run them.

> Reddit locking subreddits behind login wall - well there's always old.reddit

old.reddit is now locked behind login as well.

I honestly still see some benefit from working together, quick meetings over lunch and the psychological effects of leaving work. Needing to physically leave your workplace helps your brain leave work at work.

Sure, but the incredible skilledness in a single craft, which we are discussing here, doesn't happen at a societal level. That is the hard work of an individual and has always been.

I guess it's just funny.

The thing is that profit is not the only reason people do something. Some people just like their profession, I would argue that this is kinda a requirement to actually become really good. So in order to actually matter for a good skill you must lack the very argument you argue with.

The leading of companies with people not actually skilled at the craft is still a historic anomaly.

> barely anyone remembers black and white television

I feel like some "old" people have the weird idea that "young" people are just clueless about anything older than themselves. Just because some technology is no longer in use, does not mean that you don't get in touch with it. You don't grow up in isolation. There are always museums and of course the appliances of your parents and grandparents, in this case their photos.

All the films beyond some point are black and white and it's not like there were no significant events during that time. (Although I have seen some color-pictures from the 1900s, but the majority of course wasn't.)

Sure, you only use the technology from the past 15-20 years in daily life, but I feel like the technology you get in touch with is more closer to 80-100 years.

That's why this is speaking about apprentice and not about lectures in an university.

Marging and fingerpointing in case the customer damaged the screen with some "third-party" cleaning cloth.

That's not my story at all, almost nothing of that applies to me.

You can learn to code in a few months in your free time and get good in your job. That's different from refusing to learn it, because you outsource it.

Also coding is not that hard. You kinda only write the algorithms down you make up in your head. And you do have an algorithmic understanding when you graduate. You also invented some/several languages in during your studies. The learning an actual developed language IS learning, but it's just boring learning, nothing compared to what you did for your exams.
