The biggest thing tying my team to GitHub right now is that we use Graphite to manage stacked diffs, and as far as I can tell, Graphite doesn't support anything but GitHub. What other tools are people using for stacked-diff workflows (especially code review)?
Gerrit is the other option I'm aware of but it seems like it might require significant work to administer.
Please do this! As a Graphite user, I'd love to be able to switch to jj for my local development, but the disconnect between it and Graphite keeps me away.
This is an interesting way to look at it because you can kind of quantify the tradeoff in terms of the value of your time. A simple analysis would be something like, if you value your time at $60/hour, then spending an additional $30 in credits becomes a good choice if it saves you more than a half-hour of work.
> I've seen people who prefer to say "hey siri set alarm clock for 10 AM" rather than use the UI. Which makes sense, because language is the way people literally have evolved specialized organs for.
I don't think it's necessary to resort to evolutionary-biology explanations for that.
When I use voice to set my alarm, it's usually because my phone isn't in my hand. Maybe it's across the room from me. And speaking to it is more efficient than walking over to it, picking it up, and navigating to the alarm-setting UI. A voice command is a more streamlined UI for that specific task than a GUI is.
I don't think that example says much about chatbots, really, because the value is mostly the hands-free aspect, not the speak-it-in-English aspect.
I'd love to know the kind of phone you're using where the voice commands are faster than touchscreen navigation.
Most of the practical day to day tasks on the Androids I've used are 5-10 taps away from a lock screen, and get far less dirty looks from those around me.
1 unlock the phone - easy, but takes an active swipe
2 go to the clock app - i might not have been on the home screen, maybe a swipe or two to get there
3 set the timer to what I want - and here it COMPLETELY falls down, since it probably is showing how long the last timer I set was, and if that's not what I want, I have to fiddle with it.
If I do it with my voice I don't even have to look away from what I'm currently doing. AND I can say "90 seconds" or "10 minutes" or "3 hours" or even (at least on an iPhone) "set a timer for 3PM" and it will set it to what I say without me having to select numbers on a touchscreen.
And 95% of the time there's nobody around who's gonna give me a dirty look for it.
and less mental overhead. Go to the home screen, find the clock app, go to the alarm tab, set the time, set the label, turn it on, get annoyed by the number of alarms that are there that I should delete so there isn't a million of them. Or just ask Siri to do it.
One thing people forget is that if you do it by hand you can do it even when people are listening, or when it’s loud. Meaning its working more reliable. And in your brain you only have to store one execution instead of two. So I usually prefer the more reliable approach.
I don’t know any people that do Siri except the people that have really bad eyes
I'd sort of roughly approached this technique with my own channel organization over time without thinking about it systematically, but this is a helpful crystallization of what I'd been trying to achieve. I'm glad this was posted.
Definitely agree with others that Slack needs a richer selection of notification mechanisms, both for new content in channels and for mentions. For mentions, there's no level between "I demand immediate attention from this person" and "the characters that make up this person's name happen to be in the text of my message."
> I'll start by saying I'm skeptical of the answer and ask it to state its reasoning.
How do you tell if it's actually stating the reasoning that got it to its answer originally, as opposed to constructing a plausible-sounding explanation after the fact? Or is the goal just to see if it detects mistakes, rather than to actually get it to explain how it arrived at the answer?
The act of making it state its reasoning can help it uncover mistakes. Note that I'm asking a second model to do this; not the original one, otherwise I would not expect a different result.
I would totally expect a different result even on the same model. Especially if you're doing this via a chat interface (vs API) where you can't control the temperature parameters.
But yes, it'll be more effective on a different model.
When I was living in China I got used to crossing large streets one lane at a time. Pedestrians stand on the lane markers with cars whizzing by on either side while they wait for a gap big enough to cross the next lane. It's not great for safety, to put it mildly, but the drivers expect it and it's the only way to get across the road in some places. I was freaked out by it but eventually it became habit.
Then I came back to the US and forgot to switch back to US-style street crossing behavior at first. No physical harm done, but I was very embarrassed when people slammed on their brakes at the sight of me in the middle of the road.
As a satisfied customer of yours, the prospect of having to give up Graphite is the main thing keeping me from giving jj a try at my day job.
Ironic, since if there are a bunch of people in my boat, the lack of us in jj's user base will make it that much harder for jj to cross the "popular enough to be worth supporting" threshold.
My ideal is really just a version of `gt sync` and `gt submit` that handle updating the Graphite + Github server-side of things let you use `jj` for everything else, I think it could feel super nice. Probably not as simple as my dreams, but hopefully something we can get to with enough interest!
I didn't get a diagnosis at Kaiser SF, but I was able to get meds through them. Maybe this will be of use to you.
I was diagnosed by a non-Kaiser psychiatrist I found on my own. After trying different prescriptions, we eventually settled on Concerta. I stayed on that (and continued seeing the same psychiatrist, whose service I paid for out of pocket) for about 4 years.
Then my psychiatrist had some family stuff come up and had to move out of California. Since she was no longer going to be licensed here, she couldn't keep prescribing my meds to me. But she was able to write a letter describing my situation and laying out how she'd arrived at the prescription I was on, with particular emphasis on the fact that she hadn't seen any evidence of misuse on my part. I gave that letter to my Kaiser primary care doctor, who agreed to take over the prescription. After that I was able to get my meds from Kaiser each month without any issues.
I imagine this kind of setup depends on your primary care doctor; I may have just gotten lucky with mine.
