Might want to check your git logs if you are using the Merge Queue feature. This afternoon, we found that Merge Queue was silently reverting changesets in the merge queue. Acknowle…

Yeah city is not fully a function of zip. ~I think state is though.~* I believe when multiple cities share a zip code USPS uses the larger one. Usually the wrong city will get deli…

It seems like they should be able to “overweight” newer training data. But the risk is the newer training data is going to skew more towards AI slop than older training data.

I don’t think you can do that. Or at least if you could, it would be an unintelligible version of English that would not seem much different from a programming language.

There's also https://github.com/manzaltu/claude-code-ide.el if you're just using claude code. I like that agent-shell just uses comint instead of a full vterm, but I find myself mi…

I went by it a few weeks ago. There's a gate on the driveway, and I assume some kind of security presence. Probably no different than anyone under constant public scrutiny.

Hard to know what OP meant, but I took it as an oblique reference to China.

I mean you can do it in Nix using overlays and overrides. But it won’t be cached for you and there’s a lot of extra fiddling required. I think it’s pretty much the same as how Baze…

Not sure on the exact take of the OP, but: Package maintainers often think in terms of constraints like I need a 1.0.0 - constraints are not always right (say pkg1==1.9.0 actually …

What? Isn't wasm just a bytecode? How could you write rules in wasm?

It used to be you could buy fractions of a mutual fund, but not ETFs. Recently, brokerages have started allowed you to do fractional ETFs as well though.

Very cool! It looks like it assumes everything is flat, but I bet you could pull in elevation data from OSM as well.

Had never heard of “mayaguez” until now. It actually happened under President Ford not Carter.

I have no idea either, but it seems like some kind of art project. There is no city named Springfield in Kansas.

I guess there's differing definitions. One definition was deciding you're going to quit, but not putting in any notice, and basically trying to delay getting fired as long as possi…

In my experience, higher level of pay doesn't mean there's less coasters. Like, the $150k job could just as well have a lot more expectations than the $300k. Size of company seems …

You can just show the user the transliteration & have them confirm it makes sense. Always store the original version since you can't reverse the process. But you can compare the tr…

Neat idea! The connections game looks like it's exactly the same as the original. I'm surprised they can get away with that.

Shouldn't it be even higher if you think your country is literally hell? Maybe they have a more optimistic idea of hell than me. I guess that squares with 3% more believing it's he…

Not just young women, but older people too (~64%). Seems hard to believe they literally think it's hell, without serious societal breakdown. Are immigration and suicide sky high?

I guess this is in the context of "free as in beer" and "free as in speech".
