I had this idea the other day when dealing with CI and thought it must be dumb because everyone's not already doing it. It would make your CI portable to other runners in future, too.

I was pretty sympathetic to the idea that this must be AOL taking care of customers continuously for decades until that quick mention that you start by downloading a .exe over plain http.

It's such a strange opinion because hybrid vigor[1] is so well known in nature. [1]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterosis

If git had a visualization command a la [1] built in, that'd suffice. Nothing wrong with asking devs to use a CLI tool, but asking them to edit a DAG without a picture is like demanding they edit a file with ed. [1]: https:/&#x2F

I disagree that there are a lot of editors that can handle files not in RAM. But I'd like one. All I know of is 'less'.

They're simulating a duel, which really did involve rushing at each other.

The site doesn't seem to exist. Any way to still share this?

What you're describing sounds like Toki Pona, which ends up very ambiguous because of 120 word vocabulary. Still, here's a contract written in it: https://jonathangabel.com/2012/lipu-lawa-pi-esun-kama/

This explains a mystery I only recently noticed. If a site has preferred ads they'd like to show anyway, maybe it's time for them to pay for hosting the video elsewhere.

TOML is one-to-one with JSON, except allow comments. I like JSON lines format where I can strip comment lines out.

Is there support for date ranges? e.g. 2024-12-25 - 2025-01-06 ?

England Expects that "England Expects..." be an example. England's surprised.

I just like it because it's a rough standard. Not the one I'd choose and, as you point out, ambiguous. But I can expect support in all kinds of random places.

This is a new-to-me and reasonable idea: that Q is the union of a collection of things.

Do you still use this now that 'git checkout' tab completes?

Yes. I just looked at the list and went to ebay looking fora cheap one.

I mostly read comments :) I care very much that someone more attentive than me point out if a comment is machine generated.

People mentioning ii instead of i for searchability, then being countered with the sometimes difficulty of searching with word boundaries are missing an important point: A variable with big enough scope you'd be searching for it should

I find it hard to believe you encountered a single key combination when starting to use vi. Maybe you got far enough to see "ctrl-v"? There are 108 unmodified choices before you'd ever need a combination.

This last idea is good. If the machine can somehow be convinced it's actually financially detrimental to contact me, it could do some good. It takes advantage of a difference from regular spam where there's nothing the spammer w

Wait. Really? I had no idea this is true. You're saying there's a US law that means replying STOP is intercepted by verizon/T-mobile/etc. and the sender never has to see it?

I used to think this way until I started helping friends with iphones. There's no concept of local file, just things hosted in different places. My friend couldn't even download an image I hosted at website to their device.

I love 1-bit art because of all those dithered images on a 68k mac. I even dither some photos I have for computer wallpapers. Thank you for the list.

I think the "I don't have 5x dollars to defend myself, but they'll settle for x" precedent was set long ago.

As a vim user, this was my attitude about ctrl-b ctrl-b for pgup because tmux uses that. But I got used to it. Like many a screen convert to tmux, I used to map to ctrl-a, but I found myself actually getting pinky/wrist pain from using

Use your own domain so your address ownership is separate from your mail ownership. I keep everything with different companies: webhost, mail, domain registrar, etc.
