very helpful post, on the importance of revisiting writing. Going back over things and having conversations with yourself over time.

From a bunch of different people. Lot of good ones.
Note that during git rebase and git pull --rebase, ours and theirs may appear swapped; --ours gives the version from the branch the changes are rebased onto, while --theirs gives the version from the branch that holds your work that is being rebased.

ideas for improving text editing on phones
Android and iOS share a common problem: they copied desktop text editing conventions, but without a menu bar or mouse. This forced them to overload the tap gesture
was funny how much of this was relevant when released ("use this version of tasker and this version of android") but completely not relevant later
"Not yet. This will be available in the rewrite."
probably no
we can't compete with AI boyfriends either. Or AI friends:
Soon, these "fake people" won't just be indistinguishable from real people, they’ll be better than real people - because they’ll be whatever you want them to be.
The agreeableness thing I have seen come up a few times recently. We probably prefer it, so I assume training will be biased toward it. There are times you don't want the computer to argue with you, but hyper-agreeable friends does not bode well for echo chambers.

What is my preferred path to a green energy future? I still see no fundamental reason to vary from Cornell professor Carl Sagan’s recommendations to Congress in 1985 :
- Solar power
- Safe fission nuclear power
- Fusion nuclear power on a longer time-scale

One big reason for that is that while imitating the lifestyle habits of healthy people sounds like an intuitive strategy, I think it’s actually a pretty bad one...
to manage alcohol consumption more effectively and I’d tell him … try to drink less alcohol? Except maybe it’s okay to cut loose sometimes… but not too often? Ultimately, I just don’t know; it’s not a problem I have.
maybe? Saw some tweet on the equivalent of "I can't remember phone numbers" but for coming up with ideas. Maybe worrying, probably fine.
