@nprofile…5k85 I can't say off the top of my head but my experience thus far has been that it should be the default behavior because of how much time it's saved me

@nprofile…5k85 if you're rebasing multiple commits with conflicts, git will remember how you solved the conflicts the first time and automatically reapply the fix

Continuing down the #haskell rabbit hole, I picked up Effective Haskell, by Rebecca Skinner

I started reading up on #haskell and list comprehensions look really cool. Definitely going to keep going down this rabbit hole

Does anyone have any information on whether or not #reading on a #kindle or other #ereader is worse in any way compared to physical #books? E.g. is there any difference in reading comprehension, fatigue, etc?
I've done some searching on my own but have come up mostly empty-handed. The only thing I've been able to find in favor of physical books is that recall can be slightly better since you have a more tangible representation of progress throughout the book

Hey Mastodon, any good references for learning #photography? I'd prefer free resources (or at least resources I don't need a subscription to access) since I'm not looking to start a business or make a career out of this here. Just want to not feel like an idiot every time I grab our mirrorless camera

@npub17eh…94rr I use it. I'm a fan of the easy config + auto SSL management

I understand why people are against #tracking but what is the concern with #analytics? As a developer with less and less time to focus on personal projects, I find it incredibly useful to know if I develop a feature that basically never gets used because I can just drop that feature and save myself some time when it comes to maintaining that app, so then I can spend more time on things that actually get used to make sure they're rock solid and as good as they can be
