@soffronoff It happens over cellular too. No idea what the deal is (and so far, no one I’ve been able to reach at Apple does either).

@aparrish That feels EXTRAORDINARILY difficult, no? like especially, /every/ commit?

... hmm, in like a Release Notes listing, what might be some examples of "Forkability improvement: ..." the was release notes often have "Feature: ..." or "Bugfix: ..." or "Documentation: ..." ?

In case you're not familiar with this particular cartoon from Wondermark ...

@cstross @adaliabooks or, as one of my characters puts it: a modern military is a logistics company with an impressive security department.

Don't worry, you're discovering the secret of terminal emulation: nobody actually understands any of it 🤣

It's legacy hacks built on legacy hacks built on a workaround for a historical accident, with another workaround added because the first workaround became a de facto standard.

You're probably doing great. Welcome to terminal development!

The problem is that while most of the time these people fizzle out on their own, once in a blue moon they show up to try to "settle things in person" or whatever. That never works out well for them, but it's helpful for there to be a well documented record on file with campus security.

@malwaretech agreed. I crank through meetings with hundreds of companies on these points, as I hear from ciso who get a lot of bad pressure. maybe your post will do us all some good.

we have to ask why is the marketing so much more effective than the anti marketing? my presentations since 2012 warned it's becoming our industry Loch Ness, and yet here we are. the people selling Nessie don't want us to prove the lie.

should also point out generative code tools came well before the start you say. GitHub Copilot was public preview June 2021 and GPT-3 API dropped waitlist in November 2021. full year before ChatGPT. DALL-E 2, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion also were 2022. so that start date reads off by a year or more.

@fribbledom you forgot ... wrapping around images.

I found this bumblebee asleep in a freesia flower this morning. I didn't know they did that. It's gone now, so I guess it woke up and got on with its day.

How you help and protect your neighbours is how they will help and protect you. 😁

"Hand washes hand and we all rise together." :D

"Word wrapping is easy. Just count characters and split on spaces, right?"

Sure.

Until you account for Unicode grapheme clusters, terminal cell width, combining characters, ZWJ, emoji, CJK, tabs, ANSI sequences, OSC 8 hyperlinks, indentation, hard/soft breaks, unbreakable words, hyphenation, and trailing whitespace.

And then a scrollbar enters the chat.

Easy.

@dangillmor being serious though, the z fold 8 looks exactly like the leaks of the new Apple phone. And they’re supplying the panels so they know the dimensions of Apple’s . Samsung may have rushed theirs out first but it’s not much of a stretch to think they released this as a direct response to Apple.

Architecturally, the background task is an instance of Firefox running in a special background mode, not a separate tool. This allows it to leverage existing functionality in Firefox, including the existing update code, but also keep acceptable performance characteristics for a background task by controlling and limiting the parts of Firefox that are loaded.

It's on! It wasn't dead dead, just standby dead.

It's still running AOSP though, and I don't have the dongle to flash things.

But Sundog has one at the office, so I'll borrow it tomorrow.

I was thrilled to see that the doors are back on the free food pantry. I was waiting for the rain to pass before I restocked the shelves. I am so happy to be able to leave food without worrying about the weather.
There is a shop across the street that sells local frozen beef. l was able to use a gift certificate given to me for my birthday to buy eight one pound packages of ground beef. I sat at the picnic table and along came a family with five kids. They were excited to see food on the shelves but even more excited to take home the ground beef.
The kids were most in awe that there was spicy ramen.
Our little town is a good place to be.

There is a correct solution to the trolley problem.

It is this: you design the system with positive train control. You make it so the trolley cannot enter a section where there are people, and you make it so the trolley can be stopped quickly if something goes wrong.

I've been told that this is cheating, a cop-out, or avoiding the "interesting" aspects of the question. I don't think it is. Framing the world as a series of individual can't-win situations and lose-lose decisions _is_ the problem.

Don't do that.

Since I can’t play guitar anymore (because fibro), does anyone in Wellington have a smol keyboard or a flute or something I could borrow/have so I can learn that instead?

@fuzzyleapfrog ich hab nichts gegen die Bücher. Die Schülys können Vorschläge einbringen. Das wollte ich einmal challengen, finden "wir" etwas "besseres"? Die Klasse ist schon hochpolitisiert, sehr progressiv und 100% anti-AfD. Die brauchen keine Faachismusparabeln oder Antikriegs- oder Nazizeitaufbereitungsromane. Die sind fit, die Lehrerin ist neu und weiß es noch nicht. Mit der passenden Idee ließe sich viel interessanterer Diskurs aufmachen. Oder es wird halt eines der genannten und gut.
