Often it's very likely that previous ones won't need to change significantly, in which case disposing of having the full context while waiting for that review ends up slowing you down a lot. In those cases, often the main cause of extra busywork is Git administration, having to manually rebase sub-branches, and then losing in-progress reviews on those PRs as well.

Jujutsu is interesting in that it appeals both to Git enthusiasts, and people who strongly dislike Git's UX. It's great to see it spurring more innovation in the ecosystem around it.

Though if it can just make stacked PRs widespread, I'd already be very happy.


I think this is the first time I read something online where an organised person has a system that works well, but it doesn't look good, haha.

No way, I'm sticking with Comic Mono: https://dtinth.github.io/comic-mono-font/

Whenever I find that I need to install something from the Play Store rather than from F-Droid, it fills me with dread, because I'm not confident about what those apps do behind the scenes.

Reminds me of Netscape Navigator adding a popup blocker, but also adding the ability to allowlist sites - so that it could have the Netscape website allowlisted by default.

Just a heads up that this is being posted late in the European evening here, so that will affect who's commenting.

Posted 9:30-11:30pm. Plenty of us awake

It won't all be non-Europeans if that's what you're implying


Just a lower percentage than you'd expect on a Europe-focused topic, is what I was trying to imply :)

I don't think it's about revenue from clicks; they probably believe that it is what customers want, because those customers click on it. That surely means that they want it.

Ooh that is looking good. It's a shame it's not on Firefox Add-ons yet - hopefully I'll remember to check back later.

Thanks. Honestly, just don't use firefox. There are bugs in the extension that only happen on FF and I can't figure out why because I can't figure out the devtools enough to even set a debugger statement. Really sad what that browser has turned into.

Ha, that's not an option for me, I'm all in on Firefox.

FWIW, just adding

    debugger;
to your code should work on Firefox just like it does on other browsers.

AFAIK, beyond a certain speed (~25km/h?), EVs make just as much noise as ICEs, since the noise is then mainly generated by the tyres hitting the road. So I'm somewhat sceptical about this claim.

Dutch city centres can be really crowded and yet actually quiet, because there are practically no cars. It's probably not Shenzen-level crowded, but I'd bet that the number of people that are being transported at busy locations isn't too far behind.

(As popular slogan is "cities aren't noisy, cars are noisy".)


There is no reason to be skeptical of this claim. ICEs are very noisy during acceleration. City traffic is very start-stop by its nature. Even in Dutch cities, even if you replace every single traffic light with a roundabout. EV engines are incredibly quiet when you put them next to each other.

In many cases, we're just very used to it especially because it's a "low rumbling" kind of noise. But it still affects us.


While true (beyond 30-50km/h), that assumes that cars are driving at a steady state. Obviously, cities with much more stop-and-go require more revving of engines.

Acoustic tyres are also gradually becoming the norm, primarily with EVs. This cuts noise by several decibels.

So it's not an unreasonable claim per se.


That makes sense, thanks for updating my priors!


Source? That sounds dubious. Here in USA you hear blazing engines constantly, I’m skeptical a rubber tire is louder than that


Not just bikes did collect some data for a youtube video here: (Skip to 13:03 for EVs specifically)

In summary, ICE vehicles are louder, but not by as much as you might guess.


The source is "I heard that somewhere", hence "AFAIK". It kinda matches my experience at least when I get closer to a highway, the noise I hear doesn't sound like engine noise anymore.


Yeah, but you probably don't walk along a highway every day to get your groceries, do you. The closer the traffic gets to where people live, the lower the speed limit, and the more relevant the loudness of an engine.

Another factor is that an EV has a noise ceiling, whereas an ICE can get arbitrarily loud — think motorcycles, buses, trucks.

ICEs also use all of their noise range all the time — revving, accelerating. Sudden harsh noise changes like that are much more noticeable and annoying than the sound of a theoretical steady-state ICE engine.


Unfortunately the steady background noise of cars I do hear around my house (and thus where I get groceries) mostly comes from the highway. But you're right, in the city centre it's partially this quiet because it's about the farthest you can get from the highway.
