  • Wh.. what are you doing step-car?

  • Cute cat, but I think I can see the mental screen saver running in there. It's the one where an image just gently bounces around the screen.

  • Here's a crazy thought: stop driving whilst under the influence of alcohol, or any other intoxicant for that matter. People who do that are a danger to themselves and everyone around them, and need removing from the road as swiftly as possible.

  • Pier reviewed sauce: Someone on the promenade thought the cafe's ketchup was ok.

  • It's not exactly what you're talking about, but it looks like there is a way to do this over PCIe 5.0: CXL 1.1. The m.2 bus exposes up to 4 PCIe lanes, so it may be possible, with the right combination of motherboard that supports CXL, and a CXL module with an m.2 interface, to do what you want. I haven't dug much deeper than that, but maybe it'll be of some help.

  • Oh, well done.

  • I think the pupil size calculation is based on defraction, so it doesn't matter how dense your retina is, if your pupils are smaller than that you still wont see enough detail. This is one of the reasons why we keep building bigger telescopes and especially telescope arrays. The bigger the effective apeture, the finer the detail it can resolve.

  • So close to salvation salivation

  • The world being quiet.

  • Most of the time you're right, it's little more than a detail, but sometimes I miss the querying that it allowed. You could ask for things like a list of all branches that branched from a specific parent branch and modified a specific file, Which can be handy when you want to understand the impact a change might have before you make it and try merging.

    Having the branch name embedded in the commit means you can meaningfully ask this sort of question. In git's model you can't say a changeset is in a specific branch once there are child branches further downstream because the changeset is in all of those branches.

    Rather than come up with lots of examples for other queries (I know it wasn't the focus of your question, but I think it's really neat), I found this page which seems like a reasonable description.

  • Git branches are very different to Mercurial branches. In git they're similar to tags that move along with the head commit of that particular branch. In Mercurial every commit contains meta data indicating the branch it's on. It also has a query language that lets you do sone quite neat things with selecting groups of commits based on their metadata, which can be useful in code reviews and similar.

  • So 5 meter long sharks with 24 feet? That sounds terrifying. How far up the beach can they run?

  • Whilst I appreciate the source material, in this case it's not even danger he's running away from, it's being rubbish at a game he claimed to be good at.

  • I manage all my homelab infra stuff via ansible and run services via kubenetes. All the ansible playbooks are in git, so I can roll back if I screw something up, and I test it on a sacrificial VM first when I can. Running services in kubenetes means I can spin up new instances and test them before putting them live.

    Working like that makes it all a lot more relaxing as I can be confident in my changes, and back them out if I still get it wrong.

  • How do such people program?

    They don't. They used to copy and paste stuff they found on the internet, then when it doesn't work they made a barely coherent post on Stack Exchange, or maybe the issue tracker of one of the packages they think they're using. I suppose that nowadays they copy and paste whatever they get out of the LLM de jour, then try to tell it that it didn't work, copy and paste the answer and repeat until it either compiles or they finally give up and post to an issue tracker.

  • Slinkitty.

  • They say that an ordnance tech at a dead run outranks everyone else, but I'd say a cat making a bee-line for shelter probably outranks them if you want to remain in the same number of pieces. Cats have good hearing and the nous to associate a stimulus with bad things happening and to get away in time.

  • Canaries were taken into coal mines to warn the miners of poisionous gasses by dropping dead. When the canary metaphorically picks the lock on its metaphorical cage and literally makes a break for the border, I think you can consider that a sign of a similar magnitude.
