jujutsu is a fresh take on git-- you describe the work you're about to do with jj new -m 'message'. Do the work. Anything not previously ignored in .gitignore is ready to commit with jj ci. You don't have to git add anything. No futzing with stashes to switch or refocus work. Need that file back? jj restore FILENAME.

I know people who actively fight me on ISO 8601. They don't like the way it sorts their files/folders, reliant on whatever behavior the operating system does. Whenever data recovery happens or their files are moved, all the change times are blown out the window and the sorting they expect is blown away.

I'm not yet using a 24-hour clock. But it has me thinking. That's not such a bad transition for 24-hour local time into UTC. Or just using both. At some point the inconvenience of the local will become vestigial and UTC is what remains.

I keep the keys in the hand that closes the door they lock. No keys, no close.

While being blurry the background has lots of ships and detail that look "off." The slant of the building was putting me off until I saw that this picture was coming from the UAE which has some wild architecture.

The page you linked from Highland definitely seals the deal that the Kronos is a real device.

The pandemic whipsawed its de-facto function the other direction: before the pandemic, public education grew to become more of a form of subsidized childcare with added politics of mandatory curricula and mandatory testing. During the pandemic, the system forced already strained parents previously reliant on subsidized childcare to become teachers and were required to be on-camera attendants for their children to complete timed assessments to "prove there was learning and not cheating", which was even more problematic when you had more than one child-- because then you had to teach and assess N-child-different things during the day where previously each child was cohorted in grades with N-concurrent teachers.

The current system treats everyone like children because it never had the plot for effective education, "compulsory education" was for the poor and it was oriented to inculcating values for adherents of religion, loyal subjects of monarchy, soldiers for state, and drones for industry. If your family had money, your education was not from the compulsory design.

Oh that's awesome. The drop-down arrow "disapeared" with my mental blinders-- I was thinking it was only a toggle for PDFs.

This is a useful take: I too will use LLMs for search-- but not for search for journal articles with data and evidence. LLMs too easily confabulate these.

LLM-as-search is fantastic when you want a no-bullshit statistical result for what you're looking for when you're wanting an overview or interactive tutorial.

I've switched to paid search with Kagi. Best standard feature is I can tell Kagi to block w3schools, mediumDOTcom and stackoverflow from my search results.

I don't expect that from a month-old USB drive however. A month old USB drive that write-locks itself is a lemon.

SanDisk sells very pretty expensive plastic bricks that excel at disappointment and confusion (like when a USB flash drive decides to become permanently read-only).
