I just want to point out, that what you are saying sounds good in an ideal world. But the realitiy looks different. (I actually typed out some points, but then I remembered that I don't want to engage in yet another lengthy internet-debate, that ultimately comes down to personal preferences and philosophy)

I use like 3 of the git-feature from intellij (out of 100 or so). But these 3 features save me a lot of time.

(the other 2 being the 3-way-merge-view and the commit-view where I can select changes for staging)

why would rebasing a feature branch change main?

the image does not update the feature branch. It merges the featurebranch into main with a regular old merge-commit on the main branch.

Another advice ...quick way to squash all your commits

in your IDE select the commits you want to squash. Then rightclick. Then "squash". All done.

At the ML course at uni they said verbatime that they are plagiarism machines?

Did they not explain how neural networks start generalizing concepts? Or how abstractions emerge during the training?

WD40 is a Water Displacer as much as AR15 is an Assault Rifle.

Fight me.

I think the "Destitute" level should drop the case and replace it with a paperclip (to bridge the power button)

it's all of them

There are multiple justices taking bribes and telling us they have the legal right to do so

is this true?

I’m no security expert and the sensible thing to do is using a library instead of taking a class.

Counterpoint: "not knowing your libraries" + "blind trust in the maintainer" will give you stuff like this: https://bitbucket.org/snakeyaml/snakeyaml/issues/561/cve-2022-1471-vulnerability-in

(the thread itself is worth a read. But also very impressive is the list of big players who fell for exactly this mentality)

EMBRACE

just pick one that

outperformed every year, or
sits in the right comittees, or
is republican or
is most likely to be corrupt (e.g. gets the most corporate donations)

and you can limit yourself to the stocks that are relevant to their positions.

many stocks are fantasy values, which are disconnected from the actual performance of the underlying company. #3 would reconnect the stockvalue to the company value (my guess)

would that in turn mean only one person could own a company and not allow investments?

you can already own a company with multiple people without the stock market.

would that involve getting rid of publicly traded/owned companies?

you can already have a public company, that is not listed on a stockmarket

Then what’s the alternative?

any of those that already exist.

I guess it would also be possible to image some new implementation of public trading, one that does not enable corruption and white-color-crime so much as the current one. Maybe something with more transparency and public oversight. Keep in mind, that the stock market in the US was implemented by already rich people, who had no incentives to make it fair. All fairness was implemented later as an after thought.

how does it compare to this? https://tianweiy.github.io/dmd/
