Before circa middle 20th century all wheat was very tall. This minor fact somehow significantly changes picture of the past for me.

i wonder if it'll introduce long press as a substitute of right click, and if that'd affect normal trackpad usage.

I wonder why there's no even a trace of "orange cats are goofy" stereotype in Russia and neighboring countries, as far as I know.

Kerbal Space Program didn't! I wonder if it'd be much harder to simulate real gravity "spheres", with Lagrange points and all. But even without it, in simplified mechanics, planning slingshots and using Oberth effect had been fun.

did it backfire to that guy?

postgres is sane and consistent. Some things could seem weird, but those usually track to SQL standards, which are weird and dated, but at least consistency is still there. On the other hand, I never can be sure where mysql/mariadb decided to improve my life.

Make a db replica or just a db user account with readonly permissions, and have only those in your env, or docs accessible to agent. It's liberating.

it has learned narratives though, and we talk about AI going rogue all the time.

one day we'll find out they have only one QA person on the team which develops keyboard among other things, and they have comically alien fingers.

AFAIR you can just git clone ../path/to/other/local/repo/.git and it'll use hardlinks, so, basically a copy on write

previously cmd+enter would work to "show in finder". New siri-enabled search seem to break that for some reason, but right click menu/show in finder on a found item still works.

and some rotation probably inevitable anyway, and non-rotating black holes could be just a mathematical construct, no?

recovery features? how do they work? and what smalltalk runtime do you have in mind? I still have a very vague understanding on how changes could be applied to a production running images, or if there is one and preferable way to do that.

I wonder what apple will do with returned devices. Are they actually refurbishable, on average, to a condition that's resellable, or will they go straight to recycling just to keep numbers of new sales up?

derailing further, it's no organized political movement, and they don't call it immoral but in Caucasus region some men avoid using seat belts as "unmanly", and that's a very social thing. Small plugs into a seatbelt socket to shut up the car audible warning are very common, including taxis.

Nice. When I saw some javascript live music arrangement experiments, I thought that forth is syntactically better for that task because of postfix notation - no need to select and execute parts, keywords could be self-adding/playing.

huh. I wonder if it's possible to use those hooks to add syntax highlighting to shell commands claude issues, or to replace full path to current directory with ./

now, let's combine both.

even if black sea deluge happened sufficiently rapidly, you're several thousands years off. Current theories date it to about 8 thousand years ago.

unless you're spawning them for new connections.

yay, horse vomit.

yes, ruby inherited this from perl, though 'or' has lower precedence than 'and' in perl, and they're equal in ruby. Which sounds like something going to cause mistakes, but I yet to see 'and' and 'or' together in the same expression in ruby.

yep. claude keeps "habitually" trying to use `rg -rn` instead of `rg -n` because it was instructed to use "rg" instead of "grep" by Anthropic, but uses arguments for grep: `grep -rn`. My instructions and "memory" are not helping. "Oh, I did it again, and you've instructed me not to". Older tools are better for current "agents".

but glasses were made of glass, and nowadays most are plastic.

Instead of relearning how to knot bunny ears, I make the first crossing the opposite way to granny knot, it's somehow easier for me.

I had the same problem in air travel industry. Our ticketing officers were never able to communicate how the ticket commission rules from our partners should be interpreted. I ended up adding a test framework, that allowed to add examples and counterexamples of existing flights to each rule, to verify that they are applied the way they'd assign commission by hand.

nowadays you can vibecode some half-ass headless browser automation using your email-password or even weird corporate sso.

but why solar system is so out of scale?

git's mental model is very, very small, if you care to learn it. Then all the commands and their "inconsistencies" start to make sense - they operate on the model almost without any magic, and not on whatever is user's intent (it can vary a lot)
