    I used this today to videochat with my Mom. It easily passed the Mom test. Just make sure to tell them they need to use chrome and send them the link.

    I don't often comment, but this is one time I'd like to thank OP for posting this. That half-hour chat has made my entire day brighter, and I plan to use this with the rest of my family.

    These articles keep coming up over the past two weeks. Absolutely terrifying.

    Yet it seems that around 80% of people can ride it out at home, that's what I don't understand. We just don't have a good understanding of this virus at this point.

And yet people have been given the message that this is not a big deal, and that it doesn't affect young people... it's all very unsettling isn't it.

    Staging hunks is definitely a powerful feature. However, instead of git add -p I will usually reach for either tig or, more often, just :Gdiffsplit in vim (via vim-fugitive). It's just a more natural way to view and manipulate exactly what I want to commit.

    The git rebase -i functionality looks interesting - that's definitely something I've never used.
