There's always an edge case. Speaking of which, here's someone who would really benefit from a hard column width limit and limited nesting that modern programmers (particularly ones using various IDEs) so carelessly violate these days.

I think I'll take any LLM slop code over the written-on-phone-by-"developers" slop code.

Not the parent but a project (glorified Bash script) called vcsh[1] has served me well over the years for managing multiple Git repositories containing my dotfiles (separation of concerns).

Lately I have migrated some of that to Guix Home because the other half of the problem is having all the dependent programs necessary for the dotfiles installed automatically at the appropriate versions.

The latter one especially falls into the realm of tinkering. :)

Thanks for the input! :-)

Okay, IRC then!

I have always been very interested in seeing repository metadata (issues, etc) kept in the code repository itself. Not technically easy, I know. I wonder if there are any current efforts that manage to make this work?

Any Git clone is also technically a Git server, so no, they don't lose access to their own filesystem after graduating.

If federation really works that well, then it sounds like Mastodon/ActivityPub is ripe for carrying Git repository metadata and discussion. Obviously Git development works very well with mailing lists, other than the centralized server requirement, awkwardness (for most users), and technical limitations of mailing lists. So then you just need your federated discussions to carry patches or point to publicly accessible repos and put some decent UI (of choice) on top of that.

Even issues are mainly just discussions with some metadata attached and as long as they can be surfaced in a way to be attached to a project, then they could be created by anyone.

Hmm.. Surely there is already effort being focused in this direction?


There is, it's called ForgeFed https://nlnet.nl/project/ForgeFed/

One would have to completely ignore the context of the last few months to not make a link in causality with basic inference.

These are the same "serious media outlets" that repeat that same context in their articles over and over again as if readers haven't come anywhere near a news source in over a year.

It's like they are back in school trying to hit that arbitrary 500 word requirement when it's entirely unnecessary. Modern journalism is neither serious nor rigorous.


Ah yes, using the Coast Guard's aircraft carrier, stealth fighters, and their famous "Delta Force" commandos. I bet they even got a warrant to kick in Maduro's door and read him his rights!

Why even have term limits if that is okay?

No one has ever expected a former President to want to become a VP — a lower office.


We'll have to address it if it ever happens. I doubt we're the first to consider it happening, including the folks who drafted the amendment.

I don't really think you're that clever, no offense. Other humans can think of "what ifs" just the same as you.

There's probably a historical record of how they arrived at the language, if you care about that kind of thing.


It wasn't until the 25th amendment (which, you'll note, came after the 22nd) that the vice president was officially the successor to the presidency. So it would be weird for the 22nd to have a "what if" answer to something that wasn't yet itself law
