That link is entirely about the East Wing ballroom expansion. I don't see any criticism of anyone there.

Swipe through the "Major Events Timeline". It would be funny if it wasn't so sad how petty it is.

You can't use the remote reflog to revert what you force pushed, can you? But I agree that having your local reflog means you're never totally lost. I still just make a branch before major edits so I can go back.

No, but you have local reflogs of remote branches, and if you --force-with-lease you are guaranteed to have the old state stored there.

You can often also access equivalent functionality by platform APIs. For example, GitHub has event API which you can use to check what a ref has pointed to previously.

I'm confused by what you're saying. Can you help me reconcile your first post

> It feels to me like the unstated conclusion is recovered memory can’t be trusted, which is a popular understanding but a very wrong one put out by the now defunct and discredited False Memory Syndrome Foundation.

with

> Recovered memory therapy was a discredited hypnotherapy

I read your first post as standing up for recovered memory therapy and I can't find how the discussion of dissociation makes a difference. Does Fontain have it right that by "recovered memory" you mean "things people happened to remember on their own"?

I think specifying "recorded history" would remove the confusion. Human history could refer to the history of anatomically modern humans, including before farming.

History is recorded, that's the definition of the word. Prehistory is not recorded which is what the 500 kya to 10 kya refers to.

The wikipedia for "Recorded history"[1] draws the distinction this way:

- Before writing: prehistory

- After writing: recorded history

- Both together: human history[2]

2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_history

History is a bit of a confusing word that way; I suppose I can see it can be used in an informal sense to refer to any timeline outside of just historiography, which does tend to refer to a distinct study from archaeology and anthropology. Noted.

You used the word correctly don't worry. Seems like the initial replyer meant prehistory.

"The cure for cancer" as a phrase doesn't include those solutions. If the headline was "Pope discovers the cure for cancer" and those were his solutions you would say "No he didn't." OP was referring to AI discovering the cure for cancer that cancer research is working towards.

When things reach a certain level of popularity they constitute "mental real estate". Your audience has heard of Groundhog Day, so there is an opening for a movie with that title to make money -- your film will start out already having name recognition and some understanding of what the movie is about.

Thus it is a writer's job not to make references they find appealing to reveal their good taste, but to know what references their audience will find appealing and use them to help communicate concepts. If this bothers you it's because they're insulting you by saying you might be part of the audience that watches Marvel, and you had hoped reading the New Yorker would signal that you aren't.

The writers of this piece didn't make the reference.

No, but they chose to include it. Presumably there were a lot less apt references they chose not to include.

I think you're describing all the ways that your social class is written all over everything. You could leverage your paycheck to try to change some of this, but your social class influences your decision not to bother.

Presumably this also means if you don't get a raise, they don't raise your rent as much, knowing it would make you more likely to move. They no longer have to guess about your ability to pay.

I add a little bit of protein and fat with a tablespoon or two of crunchy peanut butter and a handful of walnuts. Then banana or raisins for flavor.

I don't care about the visuals of Reddit, but copying the design of "this is a site for commenting, answers are just top-level comments with no distinction" seemed like they did not see the difference between Stack Overflow and a subreddit.
