FUCK GIT SUBMODULES

$ git submodule add -b vX.Y.Z https://somebullshit lib/somepath
>clones successfully after 5 minutes
>fails to check out the branch, even though `git checkout` in the submodule works fine
>bc it failed to check out the branch, the `add` command as a whole failed, so no `.gitmodules` entry created
>can't retry without manually deleting the partially cloned submodule, then deleting files in `.git/modules`

stupid fucking busted-ass feature

did fastmail force anyone else to reauth today?

welcome

all datasheets should end like this imo

y’all like cats? here’s one

if u tag us in a post containing an image of your newly received tangara, u will go in the running to receive our affection

having a label printer on our desk always plugged in whips ass actually. we've got a whole pile of cheap heatshrink tape as well, so we can add a neat label to any wire essentially on a whim

imagine hooking this up without the labels

*squashes your commits*

so can we talk about how fucking racist fedi is whenever china or chinese people come up?

if you see the esp32 ‘backdoor’ news and are wondering why everyone is falling for such a nothingburger, the answer is that most people on here will believe literally any baseless made up “china bad!” bullshit. some of y’all are so committed to your sinophobia that it makes u stupid.

someone needs to take the trash out, cook the food, build the toys. someone needs to hang out at the electric plant and make sure it works good. someone needs to drive your taxi.

stupid fucking industry

“but jacquelines they already have self driving busses right?” these are toys. they are fragile, expensive, inflexible, shitty toys. it’s a toys industry that’s all anyone in the west knows how to make anymore. we’re cooked.

hell we can't even making fucking toys anymore!!!

panic, ostensibly a video game console manufacturer, failed to develop a bluetooth speaker: https://play.date/stereo-dock/

repebble, ostensibly an effort to create and sell a smartwatch, are outsourcing the design and manufacturing of the smartwatch: https://ericmigi.com/blog/february-shenzhen-trip-update

what is this stupid fucking fiction we have that u can generate a million bucks off of being 'an ideas guy' while other people do all the actual work. we're fucking cooked.

it’s cool when people say tangara is what made them actually go and buy stuff from bandcamp etc. praxis moment.

so how are LLMs supposed to take every job if they still can’t reliably do anything

a lot of tech folks have jobs where all they do is send emails and it really shows tbh

can LLMs even send emails reliably?
