I was trying to finish off a roll of filament that was sooooo close to empty. It worked, but as expected it ran out before the print was done. I heard the AMS sound change, looked over, and did an emergency swap with another roll of "whatever" and it didn't even notice 🎉

This is a pair of jigs for aligning (& soldering?) LED strips in a photo box so I don't care what it looks like.

I'm happy to report that I measured correctly :D

@masukomi compliments on your alt-texts - they’re a thing of beauty!

this is why i use intellij’s git tooling 🥲 https://social.jvns.ca/@b0rk/112078499917987668

@exchgr yeah. Simple stuff I do using the cli, complicated stuff using Fork, merge conflicts using IntelliJ’s 3-pane views.

@exchgr sounds like a Tragic Macpad.

I’m sorry, I’ll see myself out.

Google has added a new TLD (top level domain), .ing -- act now, you could own the below domain! (Apologies for the use of a four letter word, it was the first thing to come to mind of "ing" words)

@ai6yr oh wow, how could we have gone for so long without this! rolls eyes

It's harder than I would like to learn how to hear my own needs, after a lifetime of being told they were irrelevant or wrong.

@Cassandra owwww yeah, so much this!

Now that gen AI is directly involved in software work, it's interesting to me how much software engineers are willing to listen to evidence science and statistical problems we NEVER got them to give a hoot about before, like data missingness and bad operationalizations and skew and multicollineation and...

I'm really curious if all this critique of gen AI will permeate inwards to a more aware critique of the outrageously poor inferences available in the systems eng often builds

@grimalkina mostly it just works like crap so I’ve moved on and left it by the wayside to wither and go back to the mathematicians. But hey, good luck.

htwj,
@htwj@mastodon.coffee avatar

@grimalkina no, “it” being AI.

htwj,
@htwj@mastodon.coffee avatar

@grimalkina thanks for asking! My mocking was intended for the AI, not you. And my point was about how before we can even get to it being fallible at the levels you’re describing it first needs to work at a more basic level - and fails at that (too).

No snark was intended to come your way, but yeah maybe my general frustration about people’s love for AI snuck out before I could filter it. Or make the reply very intelligible…

htwj,
@htwj@mastodon.coffee avatar

@grimalkina yes, absolutely. Also, written communication is hard. Thanks so much for taking the time to ask!

The largest public school district in Texas is eliminating librarian positions and converting the libraries into 'discipline centers' at 28 schools this upcoming year https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2023/07/26/hisd-to-eliminate-librarians-turn-libraries-into-discipline-centers-at-28-campuses/

@mcc sounds like an excellent reason to quit YouTube. If we needed more.

@theresnotime pretty sure the image says 700, not 70?

Anyway… pretty cool!

For the curious, this is what I'm resurrecting from the languishing pile: a macOS PR dashboard to keep an eye on PRs in repositories I care about, decide whether I need to watch new PRs in my "Inbox" or I can safely ignore them, and get updates about status, reviews, etc.

As someone who works on documentation for a handful of engineering teams and in a few different documentation repositories, having one place to roll up things I care about is a big win to stay on top of things.

A screenshot of a PR detail view in the PR Focus app. It has 5 panes with metadata about the PR; a PR description, updated timestamp, and link to view it on GitHub; a list of commits with timestamps, contributors, and links to view them on GitHub; a list of status checks with links to view them on GitHub; and lists of review statuses and comments with timestamps, reviewers, and links to them on GitHub. A pill indicates the repository it belongs to, and buttons at the top of the view let you Watch/Stop Watching or Ignore the PR.

@dachary really nice and could be just the thing for more engineers!
