For what it's worth, "AI partner as amoral echo chamber" was also a plot line in the excellent Ray Nayler novel, "The Mountain in the Sea."

"I'm going to do something terrible." "OMG wow you're the best hon!"

To my great sadness, I have known too many people who I consider to be addicts and abusers of drugs, both illegal and prescription.

Except I've never met anyone with an abusive or addictive relationship to psilocybin. I just haven't seen it. Seriously, when was the last time you heard of a family giving someone a mushroom intervention?

It will happen, but if you want to see the bash, warts and all, here you go.

One of the big issues you'll find is that some off the defaults are very specific to my company. I'll fix that in the rewrite.

That seems unnecessary. Maybe you made someone feel threatened.

It's easier to support a company of users when everybody is using the vcs tool in a consistent way.

That's a good question. My wrapper isn't meant to insulate the users from git, it's meant to teach git. It shows every git command it runs and gives the user an easier on-ramp.

Shellcheck clean. But I still want to port it to python.

I wrote my company's git wrapper. It was meant to standardize our workflow and to be communal memory for every lesson learned and sharpened edge shaved.

It's now 6000 lines of bash.

(Ok, I'm a little proud of it. I'll open source it as soon as I rewrite it in Python.)

The jury is still out re: the efficacy of Kinzhal missiles. Ukraine reports it's been able to intercept them with old-fashion Patriot anti-missile systems.

I agree with parts of the authors commentary, but I was disappointed that he didn't mention the LCS debacle as one of the reasons American shipbuilding is taking a beating.

This sounds like a good solution to me for the hordes of workers I have known who have set their families up in communities like Livermore or Gilroy, and commute TWO HOURS EACH WAY to the valley. These commuters often end up crashing on friend's sofas during the work week, and return home on weekends.

Really, this low-impact housing solution solves so many problems (traffic, pollution, displacement, sleepy commuters crashing their cars, lost productivity). It's shame it's not being done right (unlock-to-exit makes my teeth grind).

It's 2023 and I'm still losing the battle in the workplace to build semantic versioning into each of our APIs.

The more I use BATS, the more I want to give the new kid on the block a try.

With that said, "take away something that's clean and free and then sell it back to you wrapped in plastic" is pretty much late stage capitalism's primary MO.

The author gave up the game with the bald-faced assertion that "The reason why it was decided to make it voluntary is because all homeless people according to them are victims of capitalism and would not be fair to have any expectations of them."

This is a nonsense straw dog. The author bemoans the lack of "metrics" while neglecting to mention that metrics have shown that Housing First approaches have had a higher success rate than the alternatives.

I think the author's treatment at the hands of activists is deplorable but the arguments in the article don't hold water.

I only have one anecdote. At my previous job, I vividly recall my office mate being bullied and ordered about by a more junior peer. After said peer left, he would breathe a deep sigh and turn to me and say: "Brahmin motherf*cker."

This bill seems overdue to me.
