@pimterry@toot.cafeI do lots of long-ish horizon work (e.g. OpenSSL PRs I can't actually use for years after merging). Remarkable how bad LLMs are at even considering this as an option. Quick fix every time, even if there's a clear long-term right answer we should do instead. Does not bode well for the ecosystem...

@cdarwin@c.imConservative economist Andy Hall offers a damning condemnation of conventional politicians (although he is apparently oblivious of the import of his argument) 👇
Hall writes:
"Politicians do not respond mechanically to shifts in public sentiment
—they answer to donors, activists, and primary challengers,
not just median voters…
and sometimes they stake out new positions well before the public asks for them,
or refuse to move long after it has"

@aredridel@kolektiva.socialWould any of y'all be interested in an archival curation tool that can handle merging large collections of files?
I'm in the middle of designing something — git is inspiration but the wrong tool for this job — but that allows reintegrating diverged collections of materials, and propagating enough information that if you were to merge two folders, you'd get a relevant set of questions about the contents to successfully and meaningfully merge them.
It's aware of the fact that embedded metadata changes.
My goal is to make a library simple enough that one could embed it in an operating system's file browser to surface intelligent behavior, and that it could form the basis of media servers too, taking the scanning-and-recording-files duties.

@stefanlaser@social.tchncs.deExploring the biggest construction site in Europe: ESMC Dresden, a Taiwanese-German #chip joint venture.
More water diverted? There’s enough for all, we learn. More housing? That’s for the market to tackle. Energy needs? Complex. Workers on site? Many from eastern Europe. Fascinating
@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsThe #Gentoo #Python 3.14 switch / 3.11 3.13t removal PR is green. Doing some final testing locally before merging it (one that involves 350 "merge wait" packages, what could possibly go wrong…).

@scottmiller42@mstdn.socialA lot of the analytical work I do really adapts well to #Jupyter Notebooks. It's very helpful to organize the code into logical chunks, one chunk per cell.
However, now I want to re-run the entire workbook, changing only one parameter.
Is there an easy way to do that without merging all the cells together?
ETA: My notebook has a parameter section at the top, but now I want to …
