I had Claude do a "short, succinct summary" of two bugs I found in someone else's Python code: one was missing parentheses around subtraction (x = a - b - c instead of x = a - (b - c)) and one was `SomeException("asdf&qu

I mean, one answer is that docker configuration on your local dev machine can go one of two ways: 1. You have to use `sudo` for every `docker ...` command; or 2. You add your user to the `docker` group and now anything that can run as your

Most people that one would describe as evil do not see themselves as evil, but rather see what they're doing as justified. Saying you're not going to be evil means literally nothing. Don't be the bad guy, ok, but if you think

Would be nice to see logs from the CI runs building the images, to see the hashes of inputs and outputs. Useful, I guess unless the logs were tampered with also.

It sounds like a big part of why he was let go is that he created a work-related product, possibly using his '20% time' meaning he created it while at work, and then released it with Google branding and logos, all of which without

git-svn is good for interacting with an SVN repository using git, but if you want to do a full-on migration there's a lot more to do. I ended up using KDE's SVN migration tool, which was extremely featureful and versatile, as it w

I mean, Git LFS 'supports branches' in that the LFS content identifiers are checked into git as files and Git operated normally; LFS is just a way to replace those content identifiers with the actual content, and then vice-versa w
