I had no idea Vim had a terminal mode with ':ter|:terminal'! Definitely something I'll look into to improve my own Vim + Git workflow. I've usually just moved Vim to the background with Ctrl+Z, done my committing, and then moved Vim back to the foreground with 'fg'.

This is a fantastic mention! I've been commenting out my commit message lines and then saving as a way to trigger this. Feeling like a caveman...

Love the way you made that Nebraska reference!

Thanks for getting back to me! Now that you've written it out, it's plainly obvious, but for me the readability and flexibility of delimiters beats the speed of typing and scanning. Many a times I've been grateful that I added delimiters because then I was no longer be hamstrung by any potential changes to the length of any particular segment within the name.

This is probably out of left field, but what is the benefit of having a naming scheme for nodes without any delimiters? Reading at a glance and not knowing the region name convention of a given provider (i.e. Hetzner), I'm at a loss to quickly decipher the "<region><zone><environment><role><number>" to "euc1pmgr1". I feel like I'm missing something because having delimiters would make all sorts of automated parsing much easier.

Do you have a write-up about this that you have to share, even if it's someone else's? I'd be curious to try this out.

That's really unexpected! I'd default to the assumption that it would "just work" if all the dependencies are already met.

I've also had a good experience using the 'perf'[^1] tools for when I don't want to install 'hyperfine'. Shameless plug for a small blog post about it as I don't think it is that well known: https://usrme.xyz/tils/perf-is-more-robust-for-repeated-timi....

Thank you so much for taking the time to give a concrete example! It really elucidated the process for me and I'll definitely do some A/B testing of my own to try it out.

I was looking for a concrete example and not a reiteration of what was originally said.

This sounds interesting! Would you be willing to share an example?

Just got hit with this. Even running Vim on an M3 Pro was a multi-second experience...

Does anyone know how far along the eBPF implementation for Windows actually is? In the sense that it could start feasibly replacing existing kernel drivers.

I like the spirit of the second half to demonstrate what the team is up to, but I too wondered about potentional one-upsmanship problems. I'll definitely start following this to learn more though.

This is a fork that grew from https://save-nix-together.org/.

GitHub itself is written in Ruby.

The article actually links to a Reddit post[1] where the creator of Advent of Code says that 2023's puzzles weren't engineered to be more difficult for LLMs.

I love how some announcements of developments still occur in good old-fashioned forums; it really warms my heart to see that. Kudos to the author for the hard work!

Maybe I'm clearly ignorant, but how does this differ from Klarna (https://www.klarna.com)?

Thank you for doing this! I too have wanted to play with Fly's distributed systems challenges but was put off by having to do the setup bit.

News like this remind me of the song "Why" by Chat Pile[1], which is almost always gives me a frisson. It's a damn shame how slow the bureaucratic cogs turn, all the while real people are suffering.

This is absolutely gorgeous! Would you ever consider having a self-hosted version for job-seekers?

Same. I had a vague notion that there were people HODL-ing still, but nothing on the level shown by Folding Ideas, yet again.

Seeing a guide like this (https://slack.com/resources/why-use-slack/how-to-accelerate-...) on their home page now kind of falls flat on its face:

> A modern emergency response center housed on a reliable digital platform ensures teams are ready for emergency response at a moment’s notice.

The author lives in Italy. From the first paragraph:

  This maybe seems to be a weird post, especially for those who don’t live in Italy, because here in Italy there’s the common belief that the abilites of a worker, usually are less considered than the qualifies that it has. Or simply the employers don’t ask “what you are able to do?”, instead of “what are your credentials/studies”.

I haven't seen the newcomer Starlight[1] being mentioned, so just throwing that out there as well. It's by the wonderful folks who created Astro[2] and my own limited usage of it has been great!

The best book I've read on the topic of the lab leak theory is "Viral" by Alina Chan & Matt Ridley. It goes into the nitty-gritty scientific detail as well, but also covers some of the things you mentioned too.

There's also Copier (https://copier.readthedocs.io/en/stable/comparisons/) that is worth a look at. I especially love the how you can bring a template up-to-date based on a new changes.

Azure is also having somewhat widespread issues at the moment, so I'd venture to guess that these two are also linked.
