Skill issue. It's the most popular VCS in the world by a huge margin, millions of devs use it every day just fine, countless forges have been built around it, and there's only one semi-compelling alternative frontend (jj). If you honestly find Git challenging, how are you coping with software engineering? Git is the easy part.

Millions of dev use it in the most rudimentary way, occasionally lose their stash, rm their local repo and start over, ask the office expert for help every time they need to figure out where-the-foxtrot that commit came from, don't even attempt to use reflog or bisect or interactive staging, etc.

sure, but solving conflicts is still hard in git. This can be simplified.

Why does it end in a stalemate if all my pieces are alive and they have none? That’s not a stalemate, I can move freely and get them.

That is a standard rule in chess. If your opponent has no legal moves (i.e. no way to move without moving his king into check) and is not currently in check, it is considered stalemate, which is a draw.

In chess they cannot move onto a spot that would put them in check. If they can make no legal moves, it's a stalemate.

Screen wouldn’t stay in place, it would keep sliding around

Can be solved with magnets and friction i guess.

If you can't trust a company, don't use their api or cloud services. No amount of external output will ever validate anything, ever. You never know what's really happening, just because you see some text they sent you.

> Who know what it is doing with your codebase.

People who review the code? The code is always going to be a better representation of what it's doing than the "thinking" anyway.

I’m not going to pay for another newspaper subscription just to read one article

You can't just walk in and out carrying 12kg bars. Also I don't think you can just buy a bar of tungsten, you gotta smelt it, coat with gold, not trivial. That kind of operation would involve a lot of cooperating people. You also need to convert gold to dollars which might not be as trivial as you think.

So maybe that happens, but it's a lot more complicated. And, of course, there are measures against that happening.

> Nobody checks it

The New York Fed’s gold is constantly being checked by bajillions of people.

> last time they did, a bunch of bars were made of tungsten

Source?

It’s a long time gold bug conspiracy theory. There was a case of a Canadian bar that came from a bank that had a tungsten core but there was a huge outcry about that and it was decades ago.

Chinese gold has been tungsten spiked, fairly often actually, but it’s a known fraud vector there so is broadly audited.

It seems really capable. A few more iterations of this and you won’t even need a subscription.

All it needs is web search so that it can get up to date information.

Korea was wiped off the map… until the Chinese arrived with nukes and millions of soldiers. That wasn’t a Korean victory.

Vietnam was wiped off the map… until the Chinese arrived with millions of soldiers. The Vietcong had something like a 99% yearly casualty rate. They were completely obliterated every year of fighting, but more villagers were simply conscripted and sent forward into the napalm.

Despite that, the war ended with the Vietnamese achieving their strategic objectives, and the US failing to achieve their strategic objectives.

The US military is the world's best killing machine, but the US as a country cannot win a war. These are different things. Hell, I'd say it didn't even win the first civil war. And with the bullshit that has been perpetrated on the world in the last year, it might not be possible for the US to ever win another one.

this would be very funny if you added /s at the end

And it costs them nothing, because they have free peering agreements with every network.
