That’s a good point about not being onboard for landing. Either way, I don’t mean to make light at all.

Sufficiently kitted to bail out if they’d just had sufficient warning I presume. Sad.

Grabbing it now. Thanks for the recommendation.

I suppose this is probably a special relativity question, but if I can set that aside and be a rube for a moment, I think it is a fun pure geometry question. Of course within the earth’s or your reference frame they are a fixed geometric distance, but within the solar reference frame they aren’t since the earth is moving. So the two endpoints both trace huge arcs over that time period, the delta between being negligible but still real. So I guess depending on which direction your headed you either increase or decrease the total distance “traveled” between the two, or any two points per unit time.

Mobland

A gritty crime drama set in modern-day London, following Harry Da Souza, a street-smart fixer for the powerful Harrigan crime family led by Conrad and Maeve Harrigan. When a fateful night out goes wrong for the sons of two warring crime families, Harry must navigate a escalating turf war that threatens to topple empires and lives.

Firefly

A space western set in the aftermath of a galactic civil war, following the renegade crew of the Serenity, a Firefly-class transport ship.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

A Game of Thrones prequel set a century before the events of the flagship series, during a rare era of peace under Targaryen rule.

Mr. Inbetween

A darkly comedic Australian crime drama following Ray Shoesmith, a hitman and family man who juggles his violent profession with the demands of fatherhood, friendships, and a new romance.

Adolescence

A psychological crime drama centered on a 13-year-old schoolboy, Jamie Miller, who is arrested after the murder of a girl at his school.

The Newsroom

An idealistic drama set behind the scenes of a cable news broadcast, following anchor Will McAvoy and his executive producer Mackenzie McHale as they attempt to reinvent television journalism with integrity and substance. Created by Aaron Sorkin, the series tackles real-world events through the lens of a newsroom striving to prioritize truth over ratings in an era of sensationalism.

The West Wing

Aaron Sorkin's acclaimed political drama following the inner workings of the White House during the fictional administration of Democratic President Josiah Bartlet.

Common Side Effects

An adult animated conspiracy thriller following two former high school lab partners, Marshall and Frances, who discover a rare mushroom capable of healing virtually any disease.

Shrinking

A heartfelt comedy-drama following Jimmy Laird, a grieving therapist who begins breaking the rules and telling his clients exactly what he thinks after the death of his wife. His unconventional, ethically questionable approach to therapy ripples through the lives of his patients, colleagues, and his teenage daughter, as everyone navigates loss, healing, and personal growth.

Norsemen

A Norwegian comedy series that treats the brutal Viking Age as a backdrop for dry, absurdist workplace humor. Set in the 8th century village of Norheim, it follows the daily lives, petty rivalries, and mundane frustrations of warriors, chieftains, and slaves, blending modern sensibilities with swords, raiding, and pillaging in a hilariously deadpan style.

Succession

A razor-sharp satirical drama following the ultra-wealthy Roy family, owners of a global media and entertainment conglomerate. As aging patriarch Logan Roy's health declines, his four adult children scheme, betray, and battle for control of the empire, revealing the toxic intersections of family loyalty, corporate power, and insatiable ambition.

The Pitt

A real-time medical drama following the staff of Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center's emergency department through a single grueling 15-hour shift. Each episode covers approximately one hour of the shift, immersing viewers in the nonstop pressures of emergency medicine as the team navigates staff shortages, underfunding, and personal crises while saving lives.

Foundation

The series spans generations, weaving political intrigue, religion, and destiny on a cosmic scale.

Sneaky Pete

A slick crime drama following Marius Josipović, a released convict who assumes the identity of his former cellmate, Pete Murphy, and infiltrates the estranged Murphy family in Connecticut. Posing as their long-lost grandson, Marius must maintain the charade while dodging a ruthless gangster from his past and entangling himself in the family's bail bond business and its own secrets.

Devs and Scavengers Reign are superb shouts.

Having a go bag ready is probably always prudent, but probably not moreso today than any other. The quake in Venezuela is unusual, but the others are not causally linked. Different plates and normal ring of fire behavior.

No doubt, but not always, and sometimes the person making the patch already is an expert and I trust them. There are times when a pull request is not necessary. Just apply the patch. Especially if it is the same patch applied across many repositories.

Process for a good reason? Great. Process for the sake of rote process? Not as great.

Well, that’s a bit of a “How long is a piece of string” question. I’m not saying there is a clear delineation, just that most programmers could see that changing one line with little practical impact is wholly different than a patch with many restructured components. Where between those two a team draws the line is a fair question but there is a line, and assuming all changes, regardless of impact, are on one side of it does waste time.

Sure, maybe 2 minutes. But not only does each 2 minute interruption actually cause a full break in current work; context switching is notoriously costly for programmers, but they also add up. If I get many of these in one day, that just isn’t productive. Imagine a teammate decides we’re going to upgrade a library dependency for a patch version. We validate this. Then, we simply need to change this version id in each of 50 services. Opening a PR for each of these is craziness.

The global GDP lost annually to senior engineers staring at a four-line PR waiting for someone — anyone — to type 'LGTM' could fund a moon mission.

The very next line is true though and entertaining. Has nothing to do with LLM’s though. This is a truly vexing process issue. The number of teams that do this rather than just pushing to trunk and relying on proper CI is way too high.

I find it frustrating when I get a review request that has nothing complex. Like, “What do you want me to review here? Spelling?” They really just want to do the process. Open a patch, waste my time clicking approve. Then, immediately merge. Just push to trunk, chicken.
