It isn't "a binary", it's git.exe (which has a very specific purpose). We are talking about an AI tool which wants to know the current state of the folder it is indexing, that's a reasonable thing for an AI to want to do.

You then take the default of Windows execution order of: look for the executable in the current folder otherwise check the PATHs in order. This is a Windows security issue which has been around since day one.

To me the App is preparing to do some work so it is more responsive to my requests. This is a classic trade off between security and performance, where the odds of a malicious virus being in the root of your project are very small if you are already taking best practices.

Perhaps what we really need is Microsoft to change the execution order and that the maintainers of Git add a new feature where we can block executables being in the root of a repo (or in the whole of a repo). That would prevent every app having to make the same workaround, fix the issue upstream and you'll never have to think about it again.

> can I run it until it's done 150,000km I'm not sure I get your question. My Mach-e will have 1000-1500 charge cycles before the battery drops to 80% capacity. On a full charge of normal use I'll get 250+ miles, so that's 250,000 to 375,000 miles.

But that's a little hard to pin down, because with good charge cycles (e.g. not going all the way to 100% each charge), it should last longer.

An EV has less moving parts, so it isn't as likely to shake itself apart like a combustion engine car.

A new BYD, that's probably a different question about the manufacturer and if their build quality will hold up over time.

Great, but what is the license? The GitHub has it as none.

Because the Iranians blocked the entrances with soil. There are satellite photos showing dump trucks at the entrances and the entrances being covered over.

It was a clever move on the part of Iran, because an invading force would need to bring heavy equipment with them, which isn't going to happen.

Great work, I love this.

I tested it with my recently restrung BG80 at 27lb and it came out with 26.69lb!

One improvement I'd ask for, is in the string thickness selection. I had to go look up the thickness of BG80. It would be cool if you could preload some of the popular strings in there.

Also, the string tension number is good, but I'll get it to a peak and then I'll stop to press the stop recording button and it's dropped back down. It would be nice to have a "Peak tension" or a graph of the tension.

Thanks

I have a lot of .cursor/rules

If it goes off track I put a rule in there. It’s like a junior developer that I have to keep constraining it to project goals, coding styles and other aspects.

I have different files in there to help with being able to reuse rules for different projects.

Overtime it’s getting better at staying on track.

It’s short sighted to say Europe should spend more on defence. Europe is now going to move away from US weapons and develop its own systems.

That’s a net loss for American defence companies and jobs in the USA. For the US military, costs per unit will go up, because they aren’t mass producing these systems at the same scale.

Trump didn’t just step back from an alliance that existed for 80 years, he also burnt the bridge by destroying trust.

For Europe, it’s probably a good thing to kickstart a new economic recovery, e.g. German automakers can switch to tanks and IFVs.

Cursor has the .cursorrules file. Do you use that in combination with your approach?

In England we call them "Indicators" as opposed to turn signals. My driving instructor said, they are call that because they are only indicating they might go that way. Never assume they will. It was some defensive driving advice.

I can understand that it's annoying that inconsistent use of turn signals is an annoyance, it isn't as bad a people that don't use them at all, but my understand is that the American road system doesn't have roundabouts like we do, which kind of require good indicator use for smooth driving.

I’ve also seen this in trainers. Heading into a shop it feels like 80% grey/black and the rest not really different.

Not to diminish your point, but to add to the discussion.

I would point out that landmines are also indiscriminate and allowed within warfare. If anything mines are slightly more indiscriminate due to you not needing to have accepted a device.

Although I think morally people are against the use of mines, we've seen widespread use of them in Ukraine. It would be good to see a global ban on these type of methods.

There’s also a survivor bias in real estate.

I know people that invested in property and they either didn’t consider the risks they are taking (not servicing boilers) or the time managing tenants. If you end up with a court case, you are going to shorten your life through stress.

I get it that mortgage money is cheap leverage, but I think the good times on that have run out.
