Sam playing the regulatory capture game.

we need to kill off fire departments. my house has never burned down and i will never get my money's worth.

data can also be treated as signal. for example, if they know you are claiming a different income than is verifiable it signals something - good, bad, or indifferent - that they will use in algorithms.

i would happily pay. i already pay for monarch.

it means the person/people firing you are so far removed from impacting the business they don't know why you were hired in the first place or why they are firing you now.

are you talking about the diff hunk view? you can generally just smash Esc to back out of everything in lazygit

i forget where i found this in an HN comment, but you can use this in uBlock Origin under Filters:

This article is giving Kurt Vonnegut and I love it.

My own (anecdotal) experience tells me that increased social media use is directly proportional to increased bad feelings. Common sense tells me that increased bad feelings over time leads to bigger, worse bad feelings.

Sam and all the others. At this point, there should be required courses in college to teach this seemingly required skill to future corporate USA.

I had to do similar during the first summer of COVID to get my boat onto Lake Tahoe. Lake Tahoe (and most lakes in CA) requires boat inspections immediately prior to getting onto the water (mostly to prevent Quagga contamination). Those inspections had to be scheduled online during COVID, and there was similar supply & demand to what you describe for parking, so I wrote a bot that notified me (also via Pushover) when a slot became available.

Once I got the reservation I had to tow the boat 9 hours, praying the whole time I didn't have a drop of water on the boat, for which most inspectors will immediately fail you and send you away. The inspection crew there turned out to be pretty awesome though, and they actually washed my whole boat down with hot water which apparently kills any (baby? egg? idk) Quagga muscles.

Ctrl-A and Ctrl-E work. On macos w/ Karabiner you can remap Home and End to those for the Slack app.

I guess it depends on how and why they are used by the developer. Most of the code I write isn't bleeding edge stuff, and using a copilot as a thought partner is pretty useful.

Neal Stephenson wrote a book in 2021 aptly named "Termination Shock" where sulfur is intentionally added to the atmosphere to influence the climate.
