It's been common knowledge for a long time that Trump is Putin's asset, because Putin's got dirt on him that even he is embarrassed by (and also because he loves dictators so much that he'd do anything one asks of him even without the blackmail).

Yeah, they've stayed where they were while everyone around them goosestepped to the right, and now accuse them of being leftists.

Can't wait for people to start calling them woke. 🤦‍♂️

Yeah, maybe it's because I learned git from the graph, but I find it really helpful when figuring out why a certain piece of code ended up looking like it does (the ability to see the changes made in every commit and open versions of the files at any point in history without checking out the commit is also very useful).

And yeah, if you need or want the command line it always lets you open a git prompt for you to do whatever you want, which is nice.

Also, again maybe because it's what I've gotten used to, but I find the way it handles merge or rebase conflicts more useable (or rather less unusable) than any other I've tried...

graph function singularities exist as physical features in our world

Do they, though..?

As I (mis?)understand it, as a massive star begins to collapse, getting denser and denser, the gravitational gradient gets steeper and steeper... and time (from the perspective of an outside observer) gets slower and slower... to the point that, from our point of view, the full collapse (or maybe even any collapse below the Schwarzschild radius?) hasn't happened yet, and won't happen until the extremely distant future, beyond the end of the universe...

So, in that sense, from the point of view of "our world", no singularities (except possibly the big bang) would ever exist (yet), all of them being censored not only by event horizons, but by being shoved into the perpetually far future, beyond time itself...

And, speaking about event horizons, isn't the whole "light isn't fast enough to escape" concept a misinterpretation of sorts..? As I (again mis?)understand it, it's not a matter of speed, but of geometry... The way space-time is twisted in such a gravitational gradient, once you get past the event horizon there are no longer any directions pointing towards the outside.

Which is another from of cosmic censorship (or a different effect or interpretation of the above), preventing anything inside the event horizon from causally interacting with the outside universe...

So, if these singularities are hidden beyond sight, causally, visually, and geometrically isolated from the rest of the universe, and perpetually shoved into the far future... can they really be said to exist in our world..?

(Of course there's always the big bang, but we can't really observe that one, only its effects, and it's not necessarily exactly what the original post was talking about anyway...)

Git Extensions.

It's what they used at my job when I started, it does the job, and I've gotten used to it. 🤷‍♂️

The right Unix-like OS

It's always been BSD, it'll always be BSD.

I believe last time I saw it it was hanging from Donnie's diaper, like a forgotten strip of toilet paper...

Your snake has two heads.

Also, one of them shares an edge with the tail.

The head would share an edge with the arse (supposing the arse is on the first bend from the tail).

I want to get off Mr. Bones' Wild Ride.
