Let's play a game: - you pick a number. - you verbally count out loud, at whatever pace you want, uninterrupted (no breaks, no sleep, you count while going to the bathroom, etc.) - if you can reach that number, you get that many dollars; otherwise, you get nothing. What number would you pick?

Services that deliver webhooks should occasionally send a request that isn't authenticated, and alert you if the receiver didn't reject it.

"Comparison is the thief of joy" Fuck it's so true. In a thousand years I could never come up with a saying that good. It makes me furious.

Anyway what I'm saying is it's weird that you can define a func named `_` you just can't call it.

AI slop art is a particular aesthetic, with typical characteristics: extra fingers, garbled text, etc. If you believe the hype, AI will become *worse* at producing that aesthetic over time. In that future, we may find the AI slop aesthetic nostalgic, of a time when AI art was more discernible.

GitHub Copilot agent mode trip report: - being able to assign issues to the agent and it opens a PR is pretty cool - the agent not being able to rebase its own changes makes concurrent changes basically a non-starter - every iteration being a 15+ minute cycle makes it inappropriate for anything real

I tried out GitHub's Copilot agent mode, and it seems to mostly be a wrapper around GitHub Actions, some opaque CLI, and some MCP servers. As such it shouldn't surprise anyone to learn that it doesn't pin its actions dependencies, and has surprising permissions granted to it. Be careful out there!
