on the left is from my terminal. I understand the change IDs going from r to rq and z to ry is to make it more human-readable have less characters to keep in mind

I have a question: in your book, when the root commit and the working copy are shown, the IDs are 8 characters while in my terminal it's only 1. I guess it's something to make it even more human-readable, but is it something that can be changed?

Using jj describe to describe our commits in a human-friendly way - Steve's Jujutsu Tutorial

afternoon spent reading @steveklabnik.com tutorial on jujutsu so that I can try @tangled.org later. I've been hearing about stacked PR for a while and I think this will solve many frustration I had with PRs

Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command.
It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards.
Automated snapshots were gone too.
In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again.
If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.

Back in my day you needed a senior engineer for this sort of thing

Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.

Trans ppl under attack from the govt could be identified and outed w/o their consent.

Undocumented immigrants would be cut off from the ability to communicate w advocates.

Young ppl seeking abortions won't be able to access info safely and anonymously.

This is what congress is advancing today πŸ‘‡πŸ»

An engineer I was babysitting for told me a story about a spec he was given to create a part for a car . He made the part to last practically forever. On submitting his part, they asked if he had read the spec which had stated the part should only last 5 years. He had misunderstood the assignment.

What’s the first record you remember buying with your own money? Share the cover.

Mine was Slipknot self-titled album at a mom&pop record shop called Polison

When someone says β€žScientists do not want you to knowβ€œ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

A comic strip. It shows two men dressed in business casual talk on the phone. The first man says β€œoh yeah, Operation Enduring Freedom is in the house.” The second man says β€œOh yeah. Operation Enduring Freedom is in the motherfucking house.” Back to the first man who says β€œYes! Operation Enduring Our Freedom To Bomb The Living Fuck Out Of You is in the house!”

On one end, the Anthropic team is a massive user of AI to write code (80%+ of all code deployed is written by Claude Code). They ship amazingly fast.

On the other hand, seeing these beyond terrible reliability numbers suggests there might be a downside to all this speed:

WELL NOW, would you look at that?

A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.
