A lot less than in da club that’s for sure

Maybe you’re not as reasonable as you think
chriswalz··on US Coast Guard Report on Titan Submersible
You know one of the people who died (a child) was extremely concerned about the safety of the sub, right? The CEO mislead and lied. To blame the victims here is disrespectful to say the least.

chriswalz··on Show HN: Gut – An easy-to-use CLI for Git
I’m glad you pulled inspiration from it! Thanks for continuing the push to improve the git user experience. Looks very clean.

This looks very similar to bit CLI - https://github.com/chriswalz/bit
chriswalz··on ChatMe – Charlie: AI Chat Support Bot for Discord
For anyone who runs a large discord server (>1k users). It can be massive pain to handle questions over and over. I've tried combatting this with hiring more moderators, creating FAQs and even creating a bot that does string matching keywords with canned answers. Unfortunately none of this is robust enough and leaves a lot to be desired.

With ChatMe - Charlie, you can teach Charlie and be up in running in less than 60 seconds. This tool makes running your own AI very trivial. If you find this useful please let me know!

Let me know if you have questions.

Is this a ChatGPT response?
chriswalz··on Video Game Pricing [video]
I found it weird how the video doesn’t account for the massive economies of scale that AAA companies have access to. The audiences & market size are way bigger now than they were back in the day.

If they don’t share it we can safely assume it’s shitty

Does anyone know where companies get those style of illustrations from? I always see them
chriswalz··on Fewer young men are in the labor force, more are living at home
I think it’s easy to conflate the two since news articles tend to not make a clear distinction unfortunately. Try searching “men buzzfeed” and then “women buzzfeed”. Go to news section on Google. One search will result in positive/uplifting for one gender and quite the opposite for the other

It's a CLI "enhancer" for git

chriswalz··on Bit (1.0) – a modern Git CLI in Go
Agreed. There can be tighter integration with third party tools as well like GitHub and Gitlab among others
chriswalz··on Bit (1.0) – a modern Git CLI in Go
Bit uses cobra a little but for the autocomplete it uses https://github.com/c-bata/go-prompt
chriswalz··on Bit (1.0) – a modern Git CLI in Go
After a user runs `bit checkout <branch-name>` bit will run `git pull --ff-only` behind the scenes
chriswalz··on Bit (1.0) – a modern Git CLI in Go
That's a good question. I'm not 100% sure but you may be right. I'll have to do some investigating
chriswalz··on Bit (1.0) – a modern Git CLI in Go
Yes, I think something like this could be done. Feel free to file a feature request
chriswalz··on Bit (1.0) – a modern Git CLI in Go
It'd be an honor to collaborate with them :)
chriswalz··on Bit (1.0) – a modern Git CLI in Go
I'm using modern loosely as anything that improves upon the git CLI. Examples being: autocomplete suggestions, sorting branches by most recent, the ability to check out PR's from Github, and auto-fast-forwarding a branch when possible. In addition to some convenience commands like `bit info` and `bit save`.
