   No, that's the entire point. There's a strong hint that something's wrong, and that good corporate citizens would change course and try to become positive forces for the world. Or else.

   So that's the goal? Onshore vanilla production, now cheaper than Madagascar given the 47% tariff? No wait; the tariff was reduced to 10%, maybe 15? Something.

   What's being discussed isn't Google or Apple Pay. It's an app that uses NFC or, if needed, reads a QR code and does a web request (i.e. needs internet). Neither Google nor Apple will block that, or take a cut; and it's a

   I have. Just this month I've burned through 80% of my Copilot quota of Claude Opus 4.6 in a couple of days to get it to help me with a silly hobby project: https://github.com/ncruces/dbldbl It did help. The projec

   But if you setup CI, you can pick up the mobile site with your phone, chat with Copilot about a feature, then ask it to open a PR, let CI run, iterate a couple of times, then merge the PR. All the while you're playing a wordle and read

   Some maintainers who drank the Kool-Aid, just use AI to answer to issues and review PRs. Pretty soon we'll have AIs talking to each other.

    You're correct that it's hard to have readers see something separate from writers. It actually depends on an experimental feature that might just go away at any time. In journal mode (which is what the VFS uses), the sequence for

    I need to bring writes to my version of the VFS. I'm still waiting on how they'll prevent accidental corruption from multiple writers; there's a PR implementing write leases, not sure if that's the direction they'll

    I don't disagree. But still, it's normal to have a higher standard for Israel, a democracy; to assume protest will be more effective at swaying them. Should we not hold Israel to an higher standard?
