Git tip of the day: if you always `git push -u origin HEAD` to publish new feature branches, clean up all remote-deleted branches in one line: git for-each-ref --format '%(refname:strip=2) %(upstream:track)' refs/heads | awk '$2 == "[gone]" {print $1}' | xargs git branch -D

So much of the open source community were fearing the day GitHub Actions were going to discontinue support for macOS 13, the last version they were supporting Intel on. Fear no longer, there's options now! github.blog/changelog/20...

I received transphobic Matrix room invites overnight, from what I can tell? (i.e. the room invite itself contained transphobic material) I'm a bit confused; I don't hang out in trans communities…

It's weird to think about the fact that a project I'm tangentially involved with became part of CPython's supply chain. (I wasn't a maintainer of this repo, but I am a member of the org it was in.) github.com/sphinx-doc/s...

I thought I unsubscribed all my alternative emails on my @github.com account from marketing emails. Why did I receive the email about GitHub Copilot Free on all my emails?

The airport bathrooms at MEL are really snazzy! Part of me can't help but think the UX might be better if the soap dispenser wasn't between the tap and the dryer though.

Photo of a bathroom sink at Melbourne Airport. David can be seen in the mirror, holding up a phone to take a photo. There are light bars along the left and right sides of the mirror. At the bottom of the mirror there are three illuminated labels, each with icons below, from left to right: Water 💧, Soap 🫧, Dry (vertical heat waves). The tap, soap dispenser and dryer are out of view.
