the web page is offensive to the eyes, I closed it immediately
gegtik··on British Columbia is permanently adopting daylight time
interesting, I see his preference is some kind of slavering radical antisocial screed whereas yours is the universal desire of all of society
gegtik··on The largest number representable in 64 bits
I can do you one better. I can represent the largest number with a single binary bit.
gegtik··on Flameshot
increase the border size. more. yes. in the bloodiest red. yes. its rectangle time
gegtik··on Prism
huh.. seems like a head-scratcher why it would relevant to this argument to select objectionable words instead of benign, inert words.
gegtik··on Vibe coding kills open source
right, but the productivity boost provides further leverage
gegtik··on Vibe coding kills open source
Seems you are arguing that The Tragedy Of The Commons could never happen because people benefit from the Commons
gegtik··on [dead]

gegtik··on Comma openpilot – Open source driver-assistance
I assume the same as if the car owner put a brick on the gas pedal and there was no driver when it had an accident

any opinions on the german WW2 engineer laying neutral tracks toward Auschwitz

EDIT: sorry, that was glib. However I want to make the argument that the argument of doing "neutral" physical work is not absolutely morally absolving.

I'm trying to understand what this brings to the table instead of uv, which I feel does a good job integrating everything I need.

I'll be honest, after seeing a nightmare situation where a smartring battery inflated and cut off circulation to a finger, I will never ever buy a ring with a battery in it.
gegtik··on At the end you use `git bisect`
git bisect gets interesting when API signatures change over a history - when this does happen, I find myself writing version-checking facades to invoke the "same" code in whatever way is legal
gegtik··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
Yes. poetry & pyenv was already a big improvement, but now uv wraps everything up, and additionally makes "temporary environments" possible (eg. `uv run --with notebook jupyter-notebook` to run a notebook with my project dependencies)

Wonderful project
