Can someone at ERSC please fix the issue preventing back/forward scroll gestures from working on the site?

Filed a bug, looking into it!

Edit: a fix is in review

What is ERSC?

I wrote a bit about this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49526190

I wrote about why I joined the company back when I did previously here: https://steveklabnik.com/writing/i-see-a-future-in-jj/

In short: we are building a next generation source control system for the enterprise.

This looks like excellent news.

am I in some alternate timeline where ISVs are able to make a profit selling version control systems?

Jujutsu is apparently the name of a version control system, for anyone else confused how the creator of a thousand year old martial art had joined them.

Thanks, I was trying to work it out in my head. I knew brazilian jiu jitsu was 20th century, and I was like "but wait, is jiu jitsu itself not that much older, that seems very surprising."

Yeah. I thought maybe someone from Gracie family joined something :)

(off topic) why the headache-inducing animated background? An annoyance for all, and an actual accessibility issue for some.

Not off topic!

We should be respecting https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/A... . If we do not, that's a bug, and please let me know what browser/OS/whatever else combo you have if that is an issue.

seems to respect reduce motion just fine! the animation, while extremely lovely, also does seem to be quite taxing on my GPU (~60% usage on M1 Max with Zen/Firefox, on a 1440p widescreen, which is admittedly quite a lot of space to render animation)

love the website though, i hope i one day will be able to make something that elegant!

Without having tried JJ, as a hype chaser, I can say it's both worth it and not worth it.

I run NixOS, work with Kubernetes, code Rust, use a 40% split, layered keyboard with Dvorak layout and open source firmware, kaj mi parolas Esperanton.

They're just hobbies that, once you've sunk the hours in, they're awesome.

I don't actually type faster. Or maybe I do type a little faster because it made me use all 12 fingers instead of the ad-hoc 7-finger system you taught yourself in primary school, but typing was never a bottleneck, and split keyboards actually hurt my wrists more.

Jujutsu is marginally better than git, but costs time. If you like to spend the time, it will probably make you a little better. If you care deeply about your time, and it's already being allocated for anything but arbitrary intellectual pursuit, it's not worth it. Some people grow businesses, plants, or sedentary habits.

the person you responded to has been a user since 2019. why do you think they artificially push it?

I also use jj as my daily driver now. I like it a lot. I have no skin in the game either.

Man, sockpuppet accounts on every rust-adjacent story on here are beyond tiresome. What does someone actually get out of being anti-rust?
