    Yeah, up 50% over 5 days, back down to the starting line over the next 30 isn't a great outlook to my eye.

    Ignoring the fashion context (to which, no comment), totally agree. I have an Apple Watch SE that I got the battery refurbed after 5 years, 95% of my use is a quick check on my nex…

    For anyone coming back, the 3.0 release this month changed some APIs (so you'll need to update your scripts) but also added a new Darknet mechanic.

    You're rounding both ways to exaggerate your point. 2024 numbers, Stats Canada (via Wikipedia) has Alberta at 11.9% population, and 15.25% GDP. They (and Sask too) do swing on the …

    My understanding is (1) yes. (2) maybe, maybe no, depends on if they're looking up people tagging you in threads? If there's signs you're scrubbing yourself out of politically cont…

    Oh, yeah 100% I'm putting up scripts for them, the conductor hook is "run the one script" for setup/teardown. The difference is removing friction, having a UI that shows me what's …

    The worktree create hook is documented https://zed.dev/docs/tasks?highlight=hook#hooks And then I guess setting up tasks for the cleanup part, but it'd be great to see that get aut…

    I'm buying into this workflow more the more I use it, but the real gamechanger is (a) parallel threads in worktrees, with (b) enough lifecycle hooks to treat them similarly to spin…

    "Shortages within 3 weeks" and "out of fuel in 6 weeks" feel like they can both be true at once.

    I've been extremely happy with Arq https://www.arqbackup.com/ for several years as a quiet backup solution, bring your own storage. I've done a few small restores and it's been jus…

    Maybe I should've worded differently for clarity, the game doesn't go forever: The player first revealing Checkmate ends the game. They win if their opponent's currently-chosen car…

    Give two players cards, "Check" and "Checkmate". Both players choose a card. Players then in turns reveal their card, and if Check, make another choice. The player first revealing …

    Call it a midrange Model 3 (RWD), ~275mi range from full, drive 250mi, 25 mins to 220mi range again? OK that roughly lines up - the Model Y doesn't quite get there (on expected ran…

    Are you looking for Crossover? It's a bit annoying to not run Steam natively (no cmd+H to hide, etc) but it's got a lot of support. Performance is decent on my M2 mini, and even cr…

    I can counter-recommend Kenney's game assets, it's got sprites, buildings, terrain, backgrounds, top-down, side-on, isometric... Lots of variety for different genres and settings, …
