Regular doors with handles don't fail open, there is just an Intuitive and common way to manually open them, which seems like the short coming here.

I find working with AI to help me understand way better.

Using Linux as an example. If I search for "give me the size of each subdirectory in the current directory" the stack overflow answer will be "just type du -h --max-depth=1" so you copy and paste it and, voila!, it's exactly what you want. Except I have no idea what any of it means.

However, I ask chatgpt, and it will explain that du means disk usage, -h gives a human readable form, and --max-depth=1 will only go down 1 level, without showing all of the subdirectories.

So now I've learned something.

Additionally, with coding, it's a lot like rubber duck debugging for me. Just formulating my question will often lead to an answer, or trying to explain what went wrong with the AI solution helps me get to the proper answer.

And doesn't insult you, and gives you an answer far more tailored to your issue.

Other than untracking tracked files, I see nothing in this graphic that isn't easy to do with a gui. That might even be easy to do but it is something I do in the cli. Can I get some examples?

I would also argue that the common/basic stuff is 99% of what I do with git. And for this I can't fathom why people would think the cli is better. Like logging and diffing is just so much easier when I can just scroll and click as opposed to having to do a log command, scroll, then remember the hashes, and then write the command. This is something instantly available to me in a gui.

Don't get me wrong, if the cli is better for you more power to you. We moved from p4 to git and I did this almost exclusively in the cli so I could use scripts more easily. And sometimes I watch beginners use the gui and I have to bite my tongue because I know it would be faster in the cli.

But, especially for a beginner, i strongly recommend a gui.

I guess to each their own because having to hang a cheat sheet on my wall with got commands seems like the exact opposite of good aesthetics to me.

Why not just use a gui? I don't need something hanging on my wall because it's all just easy clicking around. And when I do want to use the cli, it's very easy to bring up.

I'm willing to bet that this is no cross section of any road, but by "slice" they mean of things that were historically at that spot.

This is a much more honest answer, one that I also agree with.

"It's expensive, but I still want everything, so I pirated it. Seems pretty justified."

Look, I've pirated a ton in my life, but this whole "This is actually a noble pursuit" is such a load of fucking horse shit. We want something and don't want to pay the price that is required to get it, so we take it. The best part is "preserving" it, because we all know that when this guy is done playing, it will be deleted and he'll never think of it again.

Speak for yourself, asshole. Call for corporate regulation, don’t blame all of humanity equally.

Sure not equally. But go into any thread on this topic and talk about what individuals can do to minimize their own impact - because the reality is that we all need to shift on it behaviors not just corporations (even if they are the largest by far) - and then come back and tell me how confident you are that it isn't all humanity.

It's shocking to me how many people deny climate change, but it's even more shocking to me how much push back you get from people about actually doing anything individually, when they realize it is happening.

Yeah this is mindboggling. It wouldn't have ever crossed her mind to tell her kid that they don't need oxygen canisters on this planet? I mean, what the dad said is good, as it opened the door to some more learning... but wow.

Also, where the hell did you pull that number from?

Well, you can just do the math yourself, it's pretty straight-forward.

However, more to the point, it's taken right from around 38 seconds into the video. Kind of funny to be accused of "not watching the video" by someone who is implying the number was pulled from nowhere, when it's right in the video.

I certainly don't think this closes the book on anything, but I'm responding to your claim that it's not useful. If this is a cheap and easy test, it's a great screening tool putting people into groups of low risk/high risk for which further, maybe more expensive/specific/sensitive, tests can be done. Especially if it can do this early.
