It depends. The inspiration sometimes comes after a Saturday evening with friends and lots of drinks. Having a foolproof recipe comes in handy, and having the perfect stress-free pancake batter already made the next morning turns you into a household hero.

Not necessarily, I often make changes on unrelated commits. You can always use jj split to extract the change and put it somewhere else.

One of the uses cases on their website is the agent deleted my .env file.

jj wouldn’t help with that as it would be gitignored.

Recent versions of MySQL and MariaDB default to repeatable-read for InnoDB tables, not read-commited :

https://mariadb.com/docs/server/reference/sql-statements/adm...

I don't know about MyISAM though (who uses it anyway ;-) ).

I’m the same as the parent, auto-track = none() works perfectly for me

I fixed this by changing the default immutable heads to include all remote bookmarks. This way, you cannot edit them and the new commit is automatically created when you push to the remote branch.

  [revset-aliases]
  "immutable_heads()" = "trunk() | tags() | remote_bookmarks()"

I had the same copy paste problem, now I use jjui (https://github.com/idursun/jjui). The daily operations become even smoother, it looks like I’m flying over the log.

New comment by benoitg in "Show HN: Uncurl.dev – Convert curl commands to a shareable, executable UI"

benoitg — Mon, 07 Apr 2025 18:36:56 +0000

The Jetbrains suite of IDEs have this handy feature : if you copy a curl command into an HTTP scratch file, it is automatically converted to the HTTP equivalent, which is IMHO much more readable.

Your project looks very cool though, and expands on the share aspect of the Jetbrains feature, very interesting!

I don't know how VACUUM works, I couldn't tell you about the differences.

The OPTIMIZE works almost exclusively with online DDL statements. There's only a brief table lock held during table metadata operations, but I haven't found that to be a problem in practice. (https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/optimize-table.html#...)
