Interesting. I used to be team “*” because it’s closer to a bullet but now I’m team “-“ because it’s easier to type and looks nicer in the source.

Just used `git restack` for the first time after doing a `git commit --amend`, and it just worked :chefkiss: github.com/arxanas/git-branc…

When you can finally use List.of instead of Arrays.asList/Collections.singletonList because your Java library no longer has to support Java 8.

Kudos to the devs of the Notes app on Mac: It supports column/block selection using Option+Drag! I used that key combination out of reflex today, not expecting it to work, but was pleasantly surprised.

🤯 The level of sophistication of the XZ attack is very impressive! I tried to make sense of the analysis in a single page (which was quite complicated)! I hope it helps to make sense of the information out there. Please treat the information "as is" while the analysis progresses! 🧐 #infosec #xz

Released commonmark-java 0.22 with two big changes: - MarkdownRenderer, for producing Markdown from a tree of nodes. Can be used to programmatically create new documents or modify existing ones. - Added module descriptors (module-info), so jlink works. github.com/commonmark/common…

Will Java get if/else and try/catch expressions or union types? Why are there no named arguments or mutable records? What about ML, AI, and gaming and when will Valhalla land? I asked @BrianGoetz these and more of your questions: youtube.com/watch?v=mE4iTvxL…

Git thing I discovered recently. I used to do this: git switch main && git pull That means git has to update files (checkout) twice, which can be slow with a bigger repository. You can reduce it to one checkout like this: git fetch origin main:main && git switch main

Can someone at Apple fix Siri’s pronunciation of “github”? “jettub” sounds funny but it’s also confusing every time 😆

Wrote some Haskell today for a coding exercise (“combination sum”), after never really using it. Did not disappoint, worked perfectly for this kind of small recursive problem with lists.
