Well, chat.openai.com is down today. I’ve been using it quite a bit recently, mainly to ask questions about physics and history but also for some low level work help - it’s great for fire-once functions I can easily describe....
Good friends of mine would like a reprieve so they can have their anniversary dinner. I’ve been a camp counsellor and was pretty good at it but those kids were all 6 years old, this one is 13 months old. Adorable kid but I figure maybe some folks here might have good ideas/thoughts/suggestions/crass jokes?
yeah I like having an array of days that are weekend days then testing if the day is in the array. can change what days are considered weekend if we go to a three day weekend and it reads really well. I hate massive if statements
I just made a github action that merges anything updated in master into feature branches automatically. you get pinged if there’s a conflict but the automerge keeps drift to a minimum so it’s less common and fixed sooner.
better than merging poorly tested/reviewed code.
and yeah, a small team of superstars doesn’t need reviews so much, but most teams have a range of devs with different levels of experience and time working with particular parts of a large codebase. Someone more senior or more expert derisks people picking up tickets and improves code quality.
it also leads to plenty of good conversations about the best way to implement, so overall it’s a win.

I just received my invite code today and took a quick look around the app. Like Mastodon I do not prefer microblogging platforms. And that’s all I know about Bluesky....
there’s a lot of things that feel like they should be obvious, but are almost impossible to prove mathematically. it’s the difference between seeing something happens, and understanding why it happens and proving that it will always happen (or not, and why)
agree completely. that’s fucked. I accept it may not have been malicious but it’s crazy irresponsible.
but that detail came out a day after the guy baying for his blood above, my point was if you have no idea what actually happened, focus on having compassion for people affected, not immediately getting a pitchfork and yelling for “justice”.
that kind of justice… well, it usually isn’t justice.
