Hard disagree, people are paying GitHub a lot of money.

If they are facing an influx of commits from bots maybe they need to start metering commits from those accounts and charge them money.

This is a self imposed problem.

I'm not slacking off, Claude is shmorgalizing.

huh. This seems to suggest there are more Rust jobs than Ruby. Wild considering how insanely popular Ruby was 10 years ago.

This is true of most people. If you meet someone and they don't smell very good, you're unlikely to become friends. Science.

I would have agreed with you 3 years ago. But now not so much.

Spotify "Radio" feature just tends to want to give me music I've already listened to over new music. Whatever algorithm they are using has waaaay overfit to what I have already liked.

There used to be curated playlists done by humans, now almost everything is "made for you by Spotify" playlists which, have the exact same issue as the radio stations, suddenly it's all the same music you've already been listening to, very little new music. If you want new music, you need to find a playlist made by a user instead.

He gave up his US citizenship years ago but he explains some of the reasons why he left. I'll also say that the AI research coming out of Canada is pretty great as well so I think it makes sense to do research there.

Cool. This is a great project!

I've been playing around with the version that was up yesterday. I managed to get my DOOM Resume running in the PDF https://github.com/adamrmelnyk/thisResumeRunsDoom.

Is it playable.... eh? that's another matter. I think I'd need to modify it a bunch. Right now the doors don't seem to open when playing the PDF. I could just remove them all though.

Unless there's a zero day in Xen in which case the entire security model falls apart. With all these cloud providers using Xen, I have no doubt that there's already one out there.

We have kind of already moved where it grows, it's indigenous to south America but most of it is grown in Africa. My assumption is that we'd see indoor / vertical farms for many temperamental plants if it becomes more cost effective, but that might be impossible for cacao which is a tree. Or perhaps someone will find a way to cross breed it with something that will help it grow elsewhere.

Sadly I can't get this working. It just throws up the view into a file called buffered for whatever reason and exits immediately :(

With enough land and disposable income you could build a 1:1 scale model railroad.
