I mean that they’re not necessarily part of the --message parameter to `git commit`, but instead part of the --trailer parameter. I don’t know how VSCode is programmed, but it seems plausible that trailers are handled separately from the me

Co-Authored-By is normally a trailer, and trailers aren’t part of the commit message. It’s likely the commit editor isn’t set up to show trailers. They’re not exactly obscure, but it does seem that they’re relatively unknown.

Wrongful termination lawsuits are a thing, and the law protects workers from various things, including age discrimination. There are also limits on mass layoffs. All of these combine to make firing people much harder than folks think, espec

The MAX is nice, and cheap. But it doesn’t run everywhere. I would take the MAX over Waymo, but Waymo over the bus.

Productivity gain or loss is in comparison to something else. In the article “using AI” is compared “not using AI.” So, the question is, what converse do you want to study? “Not using AI” compared to what?

Um, yes? Very much so. Infant swimming self-rescue courses are life-saving if you live in an area with a lot of swimming pools, especially if you have one of your own. E.g., https://www.infantswim.com/

No, but it’s generally for expenses you wouldn’t otherwise have, if you’re being honest about it. There are some existing expenses you can write off (like the home office, internet, etc), but you also pay the so-called “self-employment tax”

We had this conversation a few days ago in the thread about nuclear power. Sorry, I’m not interested in repeating it.

It’s not something that’s likely to happen at the retail level, but at the industrial level. Battery farms buying power when the price is low or negative (due to too much wind/solar) and selling when the price is higher (early evening)

Self-employment is more expensive than you think. On the positive side, generous IRA limits. In the negative side, health insurance costs. In my experience, that’s what gets ya. Tax differences are fairly minor and not enough to cover the g

I think you’re misunderstanding the economics at a fairly basic level. The cost to build is funded through debt that’s paid off over time. The construction costs aren’t in the past; they’re in the present, and in the future, in the form of

Okay, let’s say that we use solar + battery to cover everything but Nov, Dec, Jan, when the days are too short. Solar is cheaper than nuclear the rest of the time, so (due to the way energy markets work) we pay solar producers the cost of n

> It doesn't let you generate power with solar in July and then use it in January. That’s not necessary. Solar panels are so cheap that you can massively overprovision for winter and still come out ahead of nuclear.

> fire everyone involved with this. I know you’re just trying to show off how superior you are, and you haven’t really thought through the implications of somebody getting fired for making a mistake, but I’d like this rhetorical flourish

The economics of new nuclear plants don't make sense. They take too long to build and cost too much. By the time a new plant is ready, alternate sources (likely solar + battery and long-distance HVDC) will have eaten its lunch.

He’s objectively terrible at making deals, though. He’s apparently incapable of win-win scenarios. His ego demands that he win while the other party loses, where “winning” is defined as “personally stroking his own ego” and “lining his pock

Rule of 72. For costs to double in 26 years, that means inflation was about 2.7-2.8%, which is pretty much where it’s supposed to be.

If you’re using Safari on iOS, the “hide distracting items” option accessible from the icon in the left of the URL bar works really well, and it remembers your choices for your next visit to the site.

It’s a report on what looks a very well-researched study. You may not like the results, but calling it nonsense is ridiculous. Did you even read the article?

Yea, it’s pretty obvious Trump is lying in an attempt to manipulate the market / voter sentiment. And poorly, too.

Panels are cheap enough that you can overprovision for winter sun.

The only domain I recognize is Newsweek, and given the nature of astroturfing, I’m not going to trust domains I don’t recognize. All the Newsweek article says is that a lawsuit was filed. It doesn’t support GP’s claim that the FAA made “an
