Something that just drives me up the wall about this particular area of Git (merge conflicts) is that, beyond the all-too-typical Git problem of sloppy terminology, this is bad feature design. In most situations, “use ours” and “user theirs” are •both• the wrong answer! There are two doors, and they’re •both• trapdoors.
If you have a merge conflict, that means that you changed something •and• somebody else changed something, and your job is to •synthesize• both changes. To use one is to discard the other, which is usually not what you want!
The thing Git (and every Git GUI) ought to surface is a three-way merge: show me what I changed and what they changed ••relative to the nearest common ancestor••. Yes yes yes, I know it’s possible to finagle that into view with Git. It should be the danged default. It is what I should see first. It is what I should see if I have no idea what I’m doing.

Throughout the story of the ICE invasion of Minneapolis, it’s been the helpers who’ve most captured international attention: the people keeping watch, the people delivering groceries, the people marching and raising their voices. There’s a lot of us.
Mr. Rogers said “look for the helpers,” and yes, that’s good advice. But in this case, it needs a second thought: don’t look so hard for the helpers that you forget the people we’re helping.

Good Morning #Canada
Are you still looking for that perfect Christmas gift? Years ago I found myself shopping for my wife's Christmas present on December 23rd. Never again. For those of you still shopping it's inevitable that you're going to be standing in front of the Gift Card rack and mentally convincing yourself that the recipient will love a full gas tank or a Timmies coffee and donut. Canadians will buy close to $12 billion in Gift Cards in 2025, with a lot of that in the next 5 days. Recent changes to legislation have made it illegal to charge processing or activation fees on cards purchased with cash and there is no expiry date. That last point is important because companies are betting that a certain percentage of cards are never redeemed and it's estimated that approximately 40% of all cards are never used. I personally like getting a gift card as it allows me to choose something I want, and I always thank the gifter once I've used it.

What @… says is what a lot of us have been lamenting since the ICE invasion started. Shouldn’t local police protect citizens from ICE?? Why this hasn’t happened is a really good question. Factors to consider:
- “Obstructing a federal agent” is illegal, and local police / politicians feel constrained by that (even if the agents themselves don’t seem constrained by the actual law at all, only by what they think they can get away with)
- Police can in theory cite federal agents for e.g. traffic violations or illegal plate swapping after the fact, as long as they’re not “obstructing” the agents — but how do you cite a masked person with fake plates who refuses to give ID?
- Some police are visibly supportive of ICE, chumming it up with them and giving literal fist bumps; a nontrivial subset are outright closet Nazis. A lot of people don’t really see any need to go past “ACAB” as a full explanation for all of this — and certainly The ACAB Hypothesis is…um, not really being proved false right now in Minneapolis.
- I think some police quietly resent ICE for stepping on their turf, but that does not seem to have boiled up into actual confrontation in MSP. One police leader here painted it in early Dec as “some people want to instigate a confrontation between Minneapolis Police, and that’s not going to happen.” Police culture says that police should be a neutral party in a dispute between ICE and residents, and actually protecting residents would be taking sides. (Duh, yes, taking sides that way is your literal job, you dumbasses…but I digress.)
- Some police (especially leadership) really want to get on the community’s good side after the murder of George Floyd, and see this as an opportunity, but unfortunately this has materialized entirely as non-interventionist support: “We responded to a 911 call and help a distressed resident after her husband was abducted!” “We transported children left parentless on the streets by ICE safely back to their home!” “Our officers volunteered at the food shelf!” OK, nice, good for you buddy.
So yeah, I’m wondering this too, and am bitter about it. tilde.zone/@n1xnx/115928447564

There is a risk, a real risk, that because of California's "jungle" primary system that there could be no D candidate - yes, no D candidate at all - on the November ballot to replace the term-limited Gavin Newsom.
The D's need to focus - some D candidates need to drop out so that the primary vote is not split and thus allow the two top R's to take the two spots on the November general election ballot.

Claude Sonnet 3.7 describes the image as: "The image appears to be a scene from the classic British science fiction series "Blake's 7." It shows three people in a futuristic, sparse gray setting that looks like part of a spacecraft interior. 

The individuals are wearing distinctive costumes typical of the show's aesthetic - one in a brownish patterned jacket, another in a grayish outfit, and the third wearing a black and white striped or chevron-patterned top while crouching down.

My youngest got me the most amazing Christmas present! A session handling some items from the V&A East storehouse. Yes, actual touching allowed! (Gloves provided) So I touched two ancient mandolins, a watercolour by Beatrix Potter, an original sketch for a Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back costume design, and a four-track tape recorder and mixer desk owned by David Bowie. She knows me so well. ❤️❤️❤️ #art <…

A big open warehouse, bright and clean, filled with racks holding artifacts like furniture, clothes, instruments,... People mill around, but not too many.
An ancient mandolin, on a cushion. It is intricately inlaid with mother of pearl.
Detail of the headstock of one ancient mandolin, with a bizarre linear tuning system. There's mother of pearl inlay here too.
The back of a tiny mandolin from the 17th century. It's made it out all the things you can't use today - mahogany, ivory, turtle shell... But it's beautiful. And so light to hold.

Climbing onto a bar stool, a piece of string asked for a beer.
"Wait a minute. Aren't you a string?"
"Well, yes, I am."
"Sorry. We don't serve strings here."
The determined string left the bar and stopped a passer-by. "Excuse,
me," it said, "would you shred my ends and tie me up like a pretzel?" The
passer-by obliged, and the string re-entered the bar. "May I have a beer,
please?" …

#Blakes7 Series A, Episode 13 - Orac
ENSOR: Well, I'm ready, shall we get started?
BLAKE: Well, wait a minute. There is something else.
ENSOR: What?
BLAKE: What about Orac?
ENSOR: Orac. Of course, yes, I can't leave Orac here.

Russian generals say all goals of the war will be achieved.
Russian economists say despite the pressure the economy will outlast Ukraine’s.
Even Russian fan-boy Donald Trump says that Russia is much stronger and Kyiv has no cards left to play in the war.

Hearing only reassurance,
it is little wonder that President Vladimir Putin sees no reason for real concessions on Ukraine.
From the vantage point of the Kremlin, the war is going according to plan.

Regardless, we can be careful to echo the OP in a way that doesn’t inadvertently become advertising.
❌ No: “This magical tech holds the keys to the future, and if billionaires own it then that screws the working class!” (This is a caricature, not what the OP wrote! I’m just exaggerating the thing to steer clear of.)
✅ Yes: “Whether this tech is ultimately good or bad, the investment bubble surrounding it is creating a huge wealth transfer in favor of billionaires.”

Claude Sonnet 4 describes the image as: "This image shows a man with a distinctive bowl-cut hairstyle wearing a cream or off-white colored garment that appears to be a tunic or simple shirt with a high neckline. The setting appears to be indoors with warm, golden lighting in the background that creates a soft, atmospheric mood. The lighting and overall aesthetic suggest this is from a television production, likely from the 1970s or early 1980s based on the visual quality and styling. The man ha…

One of my pet peeves of recent years has been the mainstream press:
(1) adopting “populism” as a euphemism for fascism (e.g. “Trump’s populist rhetoric”), which is at best a blurring of the word’s actual meaning (yes, fascists can use populist language, but populism is not their defining feature), and then
(2) applying the word in its original meaning (i.e. mass appeal to ordinary people) to leftists in direct comparison to fascists as if this constitutes a useful insight (e.g. “politicians with a populist message, such as Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders”).

Claude Sonnet 4.5 describes the image as: "This image appears to be from a science fiction television production, likely from the late 1970s or early 1980s based on the video quality and production style. The scene shows several people with their hands raised in what appears to be a gesture of surrender or greeting. 

The setting is minimalist, with plain gray walls creating a stark, institutional atmosphere typical of sci-fi sets from this era. The actors are wearing casual, tunic-style costum…
