I don't think this reductionist view of colleagues (dividing them into categories rather than discerning individual strengths and weaknesses, team-building, empowering) is very success-oriented.

Actually, what I usually do in Github is set the PR branches to delete when you squash-merge the PR, but then the PR always has an "undelete branch" button you can use forver in case you want to look at the details of the branch a

Github default squash commit template & merge strategy makes it easy to go from the squash commit to the feature branch. So you get best of both worlds -- clean master and granular history on the branch. Bisect on master tells you which

You'd probably be interested in Curiosity's AEGIS system if you aren't already aware of it.

I think you can't tell the difference until the "art" shows details of something you know well -- a place you've been, out a hobby or sport you do. I'm thinking of this awful slop "art" I saw on Wayfair ye

Yeah. I guess the redelegation of thinking from people to machines has been going on since before LLMs. Today I got a haircut. At the cash register: Hairstylist (early 20s): "That's $34. Would you like to leave a tip?" Me: &q

I just mean that the image input probably didn't affect the output at all. Could have just told it "I'm an amateur doing bulbs and batteries and it doesn't work" and it would give the #1 search result on forums for

What's the difference (stochastic vs probabilistic)? Or... were you illustrating?

Neat, but I'd bet it was "guessing" that rather than actually seeing it.

ugh. That douchebag doesn't even surf.

Yeah I only used it a little bit so couldn't remember if it had the "hold alt to see shortcuts" thing

Only works for like 20% of the menus though. I remember alt shortcuts reliably being on every single menu in early Windows (95? ME? XP?)

Wow, I was always amazed by Andrew Tridgill's prolific contributions to ardupilot / mavlink when I did some minor work on those. Had no idea he was behind rsync and samba.

VSCode "rename symbol" is a basic example. Jetbrains products have way more and it's pretty great: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/refactoring-source-code....

The thing about boilerplate is that a good library or framework makes it optional, and / or automatically written. I'd much rather django-admin startproject, npm init, or meteor create and get deterministic output than prompt an L

I find this font surprisingly hard to read (on my phone). Is it just me?

Copy that, thanks for the info. I was taking the article at face value.

Rust isn't the main reason it's fast. The main reason is willingness to break backwards compatibility. https://nesbitt.io/2025/12/26/how-uv-got-so-fast.html

I found the writing clear, concise, and human.

One more bit of info you might find helpful: the word is written "brake," not "break." We share a weird language.

What model? Is it possible that you accidentally had the car in a power-on mode, but without the engine started? I've done that by accident in my Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. The symptoms are similar to what you describe. Actually, it w

How does this refute the comment you replied to? That comment was implying that Toyota Mirai et al are ill-advised, so seems like your "nope" should be a "yep."

When reading a document in a browser, I rely on the scrollbar to know things like: how long is it? Where am I in the document? How much of the document is on my screen right now? This is critical for decisions like: "Should I read the
