“Borderline unusable” is such a hyperbolic way to describe a fully functional design that doesn’t happen to be responsive. Hacker News must be borderline unusable for you as well then, no?

> Hacker News must be borderline unusable for you as well then, no?

On my phone? Yes, absolutely, impossible to hit the links correctly even if I zoom in. Both old reddit and HN is "Fully functional" on desktop, agree, but far cry from "fully functional" on my arguably tiny iPhone.


Is that a ios browser difference? I browse hn all the time on my android phone and I didn't think my screen was unusually big. Maybe they implement some different scaling?

I almost solely use HN on my iPhone browser. It works very well and the scaling is well implemented, although it is a little too easy to accidentally fat finger and vote/flag something without realizing it. I actually find the desktop site (on my laptop) to be a bit hard to use due to its narrowness and small font size, but I'm not sure how universal that is.

See? You weren’t even over 50! Young whippersnappers…

Just like you can run `git add -p`

yes but no

Explain the difference.

git add -p doesn't create a commit.

then create one when you are done adding?

why bother? jj does it automatically and gives tools to work with such commits, no point to force this on yourself with git

sure, but i don't think it's that big of a deal either way. it's not the specific feature that draws me in. the overall concept of saving everything as a commit is interesting however. not needing to manually commit after adding changes is just a small positive side effect.

yeah, jj is a different way of working with the same underlying data structure that git also operates on. I happen to like it more than git, but it took some using to because they're both used to arrive at the same end result withing mostly the same operations.

You are a bigot hiding behind pretend “support”. You don’t support them and would rather you never had to think of anyone unlike yourself.


Not using version control is just stupidity


i use SVN, Git isn't the only thing out there

More bullshit justifications to defend the indefensible, gross.
