  • Doesn’t git status tell you what to do?

    use “git add <file>…” to mark resolution

    use “git commit” to conclude merge

    I always use git status to check what is appropriate before doing anything else, since the right thing to do can sometimes be different, like after using git rebase when a break command was used vs when a squash command resulted in a conflict.








  • I don’t feel weird if I’m just walking around in front of my home. I occasionally forget to bring a phone with me when I go outside, but if I remember I’ll go back and get one.

    If I managed to get to a grocery store or bus stop without a phone, I would probably feel stupid and still do whatever I wanted to do outside, but then go directly home rather than doing another errand.

    I have no problem with staring into space or looking around rather than looking at a phone. I have mobile data, but I rarely use it nowadays, and I only have one somewhat boring game application installed on my phone.

    I don’t go to many places, and it’s even rarer for me to travel through multiple municipalities, so I just remember how to get to the places I often want to go, and if I was going to a distant location I’d be even more likely to notice if I forgot my phone since I’d probably want to set up navigation before leaving. I use OsmAnd for navigation so it’s not a problem if I don’t have access to the internet, and I’m used to navigating without using the internet so navigating entirely without a phone is probably easier for me than for some people.





  • An interesting perspective I heard about is “affordability”. To describe that with my own words: if your income is stable or will grow compared to your housing costs, and housing costs are not burdensome to you, housing is affordable to you. Owning a house rather than having a lease should make your housing costs vary less, so if housing costs will go up in the future it might be useful to buy a house (but if housing costs will go down in the future it might not be useful to buy a house). I found some graphs for “Affordability”: https://dqydj.com/historical-home-affordability/ https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FIXHAI

    I have also heard that it’s hard to find people to do repair work in some places, and that people there charge a lot of money for their services. If you have trouble finding someone who you can pay just to produce a quote for a roof repair, the actual cost of housing will probably be higher than in other places.

    I had a thought after looking at this post: I expect that it’s better to own land in places that are more likely for people to want to move to or work near.
