On the radar: git replay and jj

The git community is considering a "replay" command as a variant of rebase:

https://lwn.net/ml/git/20230907092521.733746-1-christian.couder@gmail.com/

As I was reading through the description, I saw that one of the motivations for this work is "jj is slaughtering us on rebase speed". Not being familiar with jj or its murderous speed, I dug and found:

https://github.com/martinvonz/jj

Google, it seems, has put a full-time developer on creating an alternative to git.

Both are great (and Tom Savini is a fucking wizard), but the original is the creator of whole genre, so there goes my vote.

Romero once said that he got inspiration from an unexpected source: the "Black Smurfs" story by Peyo. I can't find the source (I'm commuting with a crappy connection).

These four movies are good, Barry Lyndon a bit boring. In my opinion, The Shining is the best of the four, or at least the one that is a unique piece.

I'm a big fan of the movie and the Stephen King's book. I consider both to be totally different stories with a somewhat similar plot and characters with the same names and I like them for different reasons.

Regarding the movie Lolita, it's OK, but the depiction of the eponymous character there invalidates somewhat the overall idea: Sue Lyon (the actress) looks too adult for what the book is trying to convey. The character in the book is clearly pre-pubescent and looks like a child.

He showed up on the Emacs list wanting to thrash up much of the core editor code for some secret project that he didn't want to tell anybody about... the reaction was about as might have been expected. It did, though, kick off an extensive discussion on how much of the editor should be implemented in Lisp and whether moving C code to Lisp makes sense.

If your boss gave you this book with the honest intention to hear you opinion and share ideas, just be sincere and say what you said here: "It presents no arguments, is severely lacking in any sort of citations..." and the rest. You say that it's garbage without explicitly saying it. It may even give birth to a real interchange of ideas. Mentioning the books you liked instead may even prove positive for everybody involved.

If, on the contrary, it's the usual material from crappy bosses that only want to reaffirm themselves in their bossy bullshit, just tell them that it was "very remarkable and with very enlightening ideas" and move on.

Not his best book (in my opinion), but a great one. It's a remarkable example of the "whole is much better than the parts": the start is a bit boring, the pseudo-dialogs with the fish are a bit silly and the climax is a bit disappointing, but when you close it you get the feeling that you experienced something great.

What is always superb in his work is the language economy, the to-the-point sentences, the lack of useless words and meaningless descriptions. Hemingway invented the modern prose and all of us readers and writers owe him a drink.
