Do you use Pijul?

From time to time, I do a 'pijul pull -a' into the pijul source tree, and I get a conflict (no local work on my part). Is there a way to do a tracking update pull? I didn't see one, so I toss the repo and reclone. What works for you in tracking what's going on there?

> there is no way to separate it

There is

git subtree --help

May get complicated at the edges, as files move across boundaries. It's a hard problem. And for some subset of those problems, subtree does give a way to split and join.

Baumol’s Cost Disease or Baumol Effect [1]. Thanks for mentioning. I think it deserves more air time, especially looking at typical responses (raising price, reducing quality) and the consequences (raising prices raises expectations, triggering more investment causing prices to go up more). How to reduce consequences? Two models that seem to work are volunteer based organizations, such as AA[2] and education organizations coupled with technology, specifically AI, such as Khan Academy's Khanmigo[3]. What does this mean for universities? Lots of terrain to explore looking for sweet spots.

[1] There are the standard places to define like Wikipedia. The link I offer here is an A16Z podcast with Marc Andreesen and Vijay Pande where Marc gives an overview about 3 minutes in.

I worked on bk

> The data received was SCCS, which was an understood format with existing tools.

You'd be surprised. SCCS is not broadly understood. And BK is not exactly SCCS.

I read the SourcePuller code when it was published (sp-01). It's pretty easy reading. I give Tridge credit for that. I wrote a little test, got it to checkout the wrong data with no errors reported. Issue was still there in sp-02 .
