thankfully (for me), this is about the git forge and not the oss calendar and contact synchronization software by the same name

it's not the same name

you're right! i can't believe i only noticed that just now, thanks!

this works great but in my experience sometimes you should add

  && sync

not sure why it's necessary only sometimes!

The kernel has a cache used for block devices.

If you want to be more targeted:

    blockdev --flushbufs /dev/sda

the title is really underselling it; as the post is very concise, i won't repeat it here but it's worth reading

i have heard about ai companies being fuelled by effective altruist rhetoric ("we must control ai to prevent mass extinction") but was unsure whether to believe it; this seems to slot right into that framing.

this blog post is mostly shadowboxing and showing off their llm-made software; kind of disappointing

Yeah, the holier-than-thou vibe-coder is a new cliche I'm not enjoying.

offtopic but i find it concerning that github has effectively prevented people from learning how to use git without a forge

fascinating how many people are displeased with the expansion of generics! i love go and this is some functionality i always missed.

it turns out "consumer agency" is ineffective and that people are actually very susceptible to having thoughts beamed into their heads
