Yeah, I play a lot of board games and was confused by the explicit statement that it was turned based, as most board games are turned based and realtime boardgames are pretty exceptional.
The ones here in the UK have these little plastic connectors on the string. The switch itself has a very short string coming out of it(<10cm), the plastic connector and then the main pull cord. These connectors are simple tubes with an opening that hold and hide the knots. Makes changing the pull cord quite easy, you just feed it through the hole in the connector, tie a simple knot at the end and pull it back into the connector body.
I actually had one of these connectors break on a bathroom light and just 3D printed a new one. But it should be fairly trivial to add one of these to any light pull you already have.
I wouldn't say it's that people are not able to find their way with Git. I was a competent Git user and would carefully and squash my commits. It's just easier and nicer with Jujutsu.
The way all changes (except those in the ignore file) are automatically incorporated into the current commit means I don't have to faff about with stash when I need to pivot and then try to remember which commit to pop against. I can just hop around the tree with gay abandon. That alone is invaluable.
Then add in the fact that a change to history gets rippled down the descendent commits. And the fact that conflicts are recorded in the history and can be dealt with at your leisure. Or the fact that `jj undo` is a thing.
There must be some kind of split in how people work or something. I’ve never had the desire to jump around the git tree. I never squash commits. I basically never stash changes. All the things that people say jj makes easier are things I never even want to do. Not because they’re not easy with git, but because it sounds hard to keep straight in my head.
Maybe. Different organisations work at different paces and with different contention rates. If you're on a small team and less being tugged about then you might not find value with this stuff.
But I frequently have cases where I have some changes I'm making to repo `acme`. I'll put a PR up for review and then I'll start on a second PR for the same repo. I stack these commits on top of my previous PR. If I then notice a problem in the earlier work I can easily fix it and have the changes ripple down to the later PR. Or if somebody else merges something in against `main` it's really easy using `jj rebase` to move my commits against the new version of `main`. With a single `jj rebase` I can move all of my stacked PRs over to the new version of `main` and have every stacked PR updated.
Yes, exactly that. In Jujutsu you don't have Branches like you do in Git. You have branches in the sense that you have forks in the tree and you can place a "bookmark" against any revision in that tree. (When exporting to a Git repo those bookmarks are mapped to Git branch heads.)
So yeah if I have revision `a` with two children `b` and `c`, and even if those children have their own children, a change to `a` will get rippled down to `b` and `c` and any further children. It's a bit like Git rerere if you've used it, except you're not forced to fix every conflict immediately.
Any conflicts along the way are marked on those revisions, you just fix the earliest conflicts first and quite often that'll ripple down and fix everything up. Or maybe there'll be a second conflict later down the stack of commits and you'll just fix that one the same way.
To fix a conflict you typically create a new revision off the conflict (effectively forking the tree at that point) using `jj new c` (let's call the result `cxy`) fix the revision in that commit and then you can `jj squash` that revision `cxy` back into `c`. This, again, gets rippled down fixing up all of the descendent commits.
(Interestingly, I would have said that the translation I read came from Project Gutenberg, but it wasn't the one I just linked and no other is currently available there. Does Project Gutenberg take down existing versions of out-of-copyright books sometimes??)
There are multiple older translations, but Project Gutenberg only has one at the moment. I'm conjecturing that they used to have a different one (also out of copyright; that's their whole thing), but have taken it down for unclear reasons.
It's also possible that I found a free translation of The Three Musketeers somewhere else, or that I read the same version PG has now and have misidentified it as being different.
