I use both, and I prefer fossil. But my coworkers hate fossil because they can't fake their commits to make them look good. This is something I actually like about fossil: git has tools just to make things look pretty even if they can

Was this discovered by AI? Is all AI code 100% free of bugs? You are implying that just by allowing LLM contributions your product is free of bugs, and the LLM won't introduce new bugs. Of course, if the LLM introduces bugs, the soluti

You go to war because you want an strategic outcome you can't get with other means. I doubt the strategic outcome of the USA in Irak or Afghanistan was "kill a lot, lose not that many, leave the country in shambles, achieve nothin

It is not even an "idea". Is the consequence of nuclear power being so difficult to modulate to consumption. You give it for free by night, hoping that at least some people consumes, because the country is sleeping. Solar energy a

Rice is consumed a lot , and it has more things than "a lot of simple sugars". In fact, any "veggie" book would include many of recipes with rice, rice flour or rice noodles, as they are usually based in Asian cuisine.

One of the best places would be Asturias, which has also incredibly scenery worth the travel, but it was too cloudy in many places. Not all of Spain is sun and beaches!
