It looks like git absorb rewrites history. Doesn’t that break your previously pushed branch?

So it’s First Nations nationalism? Odd cause for Elon to support. His heritage isn’t anywhere close to that (a white person in the US is bad enough but a white person from South Africa too?).

Which ones? AFAIK the nuke plants that shut down are very cost ineffective.

Also similar to the strange subplot in "Until the End of the World" [1] where a damaged Indian nuclear satellite threatens to fall to earth destroying civilization.

Ah I've been trying to dig up that episode from my faulty memory for years! I was convinced it was an episode of the A-Team fighting a killer tank instead.

See Vagrant for a more general solution, although you’ll need a plug-in [1] to use qemu.

Putting out other people’s fires seems extremely frustrating.

Because it too reads as motivated reasoning from management to encourage workers to stop complaining, asking for things, and changing jobs and instead just work harder.

A chunk has already switched to C# with Unity. Most other engines (proprietary, Unreal, etc) have decades of C++ that would require too much effort to migrate to anything new.

Nothing wrong with it per se. The externalities of it are a disaster, though: carbon depletion and pollution, traffic congestion, traffic related injuries and death, feeding the automotive industrial beast, less time for family and community commitments, less sense of belonging, etc etc...

> And frankly these discussions on HN always dance around the special protected class of persion - people who use urban real estate as an investment vehicle slash secondary home.

I think a lot of these discussions are inspired by California (SF in particular) where the average homeowner is this person and votes in their financial interests -- to preserve (at all costs) neighborhoods that rarely have the historical cache of Boston brownstones.
